Whispers

Hi,

I hope, that those of you who are Mums, had a lovely day yesterday - I got 2 cards (both made by H), a bunch of flowers and a bookmark, that H had threaded the ribbon through himself, Alan and H took me out to lunch on Saturday (as we thought yesterday, would probably be really busy), that was after we had seen 'Joseph And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat' at The Hawth in Crawley starring 'Keith Jack' who was a runner up in 'Any Dream Will Do', and we all enjoyed it - although afterwards i did ask the question 'Where Does He Put His Mic Pack, As There Doesn't Seem To Be Much Room, When He Is Wearing His Loin Cloth ?' - Alan at this point, just went typical and raised his eyebrows !!!

Just to say a big thank you for all your lovely comments about the blogging problems i have had and it turns out now, my blog has been taken off of the person's recommendations, thank goodness.

I have always admired the lovely Brenda's blog, so when i saw that she was having a competition, i jumped at the chance of entering and i chose to CASE one of her cards, as like me, she is a huge PB nutter !!, i went for this particular design, as i don't use my flower stamps enough and i also loved the way Brenda had framed the image, the papers i've used are the new LOTV pad 'Perfect Pair', the ribbon and pin are from 'The Ribbon Girls', the punched edge and frame is - MS - 'Cherish', tag is cut using a Sizzix die, sentiment is 'Personal Impressions' and gems are 'Habico'.  Although this card is for Mother's Day and it was yesterday, i've made it, as it will give me a good start on the 10 i have to send to the troops in January.

Todays Card And Challenges Are :

Brenda At Floral Fantasies - Celebrating her 4th Year Blogoversary and 4,000 followers.

Simon Say's Stamp  - where the Challenge is 'A Bit O' Green'

Penny Black Saturday Friends - where March's Challenge is 'Springtime'

Joanna Sheen - where the Challenge is 'Mum's The Word'


And this is Brenda's card that i CASED from August 2011

I smiled reading your post Sam as that's exactly the sort of thing I would notice !!

You have done a really wonderful job of casing my card and I really like your version with the soft pinks and paper piecing, another thing I really enjoy doing. I rather like that frame you have used as well, another one for the wish list.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to create a card to join my my blog celebration.

What a beauty, love both your card & Brenda's. You knee deep in snow yet? Sounds like you could be worse than us this time. Although we have snow lying, nothing fell today, the roads are fine and it was lovely and sunny. Jx
