We had friends staying this weekend and
spent a lovely Saturday afternoon chilling in the sunshine (I know!) with
Pimm’s and an indulgent Saturday evening dining on top quality fish and chips. Later, the men
(and boy) stayed up late to look at Saturn through a telescope.
Sunday morning, I was asked to give a
cardmaking demonstration. Well, I don’t need asking twice, so I dug out some
leftover Make & Take packs and we had a go.
Unfortunately, I’ve just trawled through my
blog and can’t find the original card we made from this pack… and I put the
sample in the post only on Friday. Isn’t that just typical?
But if you went to Angela T’s party during
Sale-a-Bration you may just recognise these elements, “reimagined” to use two
much-loved stamp sets which will be retiring at the end of this month; French
Foliage and Curly Cute.
Normally I don’t get too sentimental when
stamp sets retire, but this year some of my most favourite sets are going;
these two, plus Nature Walk, Artisan Etchings and that really useful set, For
My Family (I might hang onto this one as it really is very handy indeed).
But life goes on, so back to this card… the
doily is folded, off centre, to give the illusion of two. The scraps of ribbon come from the
Artisan Embellishment Kit from the Spring/Summer catalogue – remember that
items from this catalogue are not guaranteed to be carried over but do not
appear on the retirement list. Talk to me if you’re not sure whether to order
or not.
