Trying to hold it together

Hi everyone, trying to keep things as normal as possible, given that NOTHING seems to be normal anymore.  My commute to the office involves going from the front room to the dining room, my daughter is on lock down due to underlying health conditions TV has got depressing and as for the news, well, positively apocalyptic!

Still, we are all well and the earth is still turning, we have a roof over our head, food in the cupboard and money in the bank, so I mustn’t complain (heck, I’m British, it’s what we’re good at!).

Anyway, I hope you are all staying safe and finding plenty of time for crafting, this weeks challenge over at Fab ‘n’ Funky is masculine - now this is a real challenge as so many of us find it difficult to make cards for men.  For this card, I’ve used one of my favourite Sara Signature Collections “Nautical”, together with one of the lovely new Gatefold sentiment dies.

I really love this card, those shells are so much fun to make and I definitely feel that any man would feel quite special being given this! (Well, I hope they would anyway!).

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your makes this week.

Fab ‘n’ Funky #472

Hi all, well we come to another new week and another new challenge over at Fab ‘n’ Funky  and this week’s theme is black and white with a hint of pink.  This just screamed to me to get out my gorgeous. 8x8 background stamp from Crafters Companion.  It allowed me to just stamp the background in black and white and then stamp the individual flowers and colour these in.  I love the monochrome look, it reminds me of the old black and white and technicolour films like the Wizard of Oz and A Matter of Life and Death.

These stamps really do allow you to make really quick cards (the flowers are coloured with Colourblend Pencils).

Anyway, hope you really like this and I look forward to seeing all your makes this week.
