Good evening crafters, I have news!! you might remember me saying I was on a mission to find my husband a hobby (preferably a very time consuming one) to give me more crafting time. Well ….result, he’s bought himself a scooter whey hey!!
He always had a lambretta, a throwback from his Wigan casino days, but decided he was getting too old to be sat at the side of the road with a spanner while all his mates went riding by. They’re not known for their reliability and while doing one up seemed a great idea when he was younger the novelty of breaking down every time he went out had gradually worn off!!
So, he’s got a new Vespa, and quite nice it is too. I did have one scary moment when he said we could go off for the day to the coast together on it, “NO CHANCE” I thought, he can go off to the coast and I will be quite happy sat here on my own making cards …mission nicely accomplished!!
On to today's cards, this weeks theme over that Lili’s little fairies is pretty in pink so I’ve made these little mini cards
I’ve used the cute present trio from the new Lili of the Valley Summer bears and also the incredibly useful sentiment tags
I’ve used Spellbinders circles and lacey circle dies
The little mini cards were in a pack of 12 with envelopes, they’re by K & Co from their gorgeous Smitten range
The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts that you can now get in the Lili of the Valley showroom
The crystals, lace and also the button twine are from The Ribbon girl, I love this button twine I think it looks so cute tied in between the flowers
Hope you like my little cards, thanks so much for all the comments you’ve been leaving for me, I read and appreciate every one and do try to visit all your blogs.
Have a lovely evening x
sweet cards :)))
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Such a lovely collection of mini cards Anne. Those teddies are just adorable and I love all the pretty detailing. The sentiment tags are fab too ( now I am very tempted!!)
ReplyDeleteGood news about the hubby finding s hobby!
Hugs Sue
Hope hubby is not so proud of his new vespra that he only takes it out when the sun is shining cos you wouldn't get much crafting done!!! Love your little cards Anne - those sentiment stamps are so handy aren't they. May have to buy all these new teddies at Doncaster this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove Sharon. x
These are just gorgeous hun, love the pink! Hugs, Claire x
ReplyDeleteLovely set of mini cards Anne and your twine in amongst the flowers looks really pretty - I've got those little bears but not coloured one up yet, maybe at the weekend! Many years ago my husband said 'you just can't put a price on a hobby .....' and oh my, we remind him of that on a weekly basis!! He likes watching cricket, football, golf in fact anything that has a green background so we get oodles of crafting time at the weekends! hugs Mary G x
