 Hiya! During this very wet July I have been spending time in the craft hovel with the gorgeous July kit by  Love from Lizi.   I used images from the stamp set to make backgrounds in blue and pink. The card base, tag, twine and peel-offs all came in the kit.  I added Nuvo glitter dots in the centres of the yellow flowers. Here is the pink background.  The jar and label are two of the ephemera, and the blooms are made with the accompanying die set.  Again I added Nuvo glitter drops to the centres of the flowers. On grey, drizzly days there is nothing quite like crafting! I hope you're all keeping well! Thanks for looking and take care! love Mags B x

 Do you guys know about the lovely  Alicia's monthly 'Sheetload of Cards' sketches? She gives instructions on how to cut patterned papers to make cards with her sketch.  I took 2 very old 12 x 12" papers and made a dozen cards with the  May 23  Sheetload. I might add a sentiment to the 'celebrate' cards. The images are stamps from old card kits by  Love from Lizi , the sentiments were from  Lili of the Valley I am on the neverending quest to use up my papers! Two down, 28659346 to go!!! Thanks for looking and take care! love, Mags B x

Hi there! Well, it's been a busy fortnight: appointments at the local hospital and specialised eye unit (I have a tear in one retina) which involved lots of staring into bright lights, trying not to blink.   Then there was the annual blood-pressure check-up, which meant blood tests and a wee test, followed by a phone appointment with my lovely GP.  I have to eat lots of bananas to improve my potassium levels - so much nicer than taking tablests! Finally there was a loooong dental appointment to fit teeth straighteners.  It's been quite a medical journey! All is now calm, and I've been making cards again.  I used papers from the April 23 card kid by  Love from Lizi .  So pretty. I like sending 'hello' cards to cheer my friends up!  It's such a simple sentiment but says a lot. I hope you're all keeping well! Thanks for looking and take care! love Mags B x
