Good afternoon crafters, well I spoke too soon didn’t I when I said in my last post that we’d escaped the lurgy this year!
I’ve just completely lost a week, I’m not exaggerating I have never felt so weird in all my life. I just felt like my body wouldn’t work, zero energy, cold then clammy, starving hungry but couldn’t face food… it was very strange. Keith and Joe had it too but hopefully we’ve seen the back of it now. I’ve heard people say they’ve been ill for 6 weeks so I’m really hoping that’s not the case as I do feel a bit better today

So, consequently I only managed 1 sample for the new LOTV launch. Popular teen images Jasmine and Oliver are back with new designs and some old favourites available in different formats
This is Oliver Texting, I like Jasmine Texting and have used it a lot so I hope this male version will be as useful
Cloud background, fence and grass are all Lawn Fawn and the speech bubble is Spellbinders. I’ve had that set for years and never realised it was stitched, there are a few different shapes and sizes and I’m pleased to have rediscovered it!

This is a card I made last year so I thought I’d add it to the post as this is another very useful stamp from the range… Oliver Kicking About
I used an embossed background for this and die cut clouds/sun
If you visit me regular you will know I love adding clouds and sun, I think it creates such a quick and cute scene

Right I’m going to catch up on a bit of tv from the last week. Still don’t have the energy to do much more and it’s been snowing this morning here so a good excuse to get cosy on the sofa with Manny!
Enjoy your day all, thanks for stopping by
Two fabulous cards, great scenes and perfect for a teenage boy xx

DeleteThese are fantastic cards Anne. I love the casual feel to these stamps, so fabulous for a teenage birthday. I have also been feeling off for a couple of weeks. Hubby keeps asking what's wrong but it's nothing I can put my finger on, just off. Laggy and limp, that's all I can think to say. Well let's hope we both get to feeling our normal selves soon. sending hugs :)
ReplyDeleteThat's just how I feel Pamellia, hope you're better now xx
DeleteTwo brilliant cards for those awkward to make for teenage boys! Wonderful card designs too.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're all poorly, definitely sounds like something I don't want to catch! Get well soon very quickly. Debra x
I hope you've escaped this flu Debra and kept well, thanks as always for stopping by x
DeleteJust to ask Anne if I may, how did you cut round the images so perfectly? Debra x
ReplyDeleteI cut around the image with scissors Debra, nothing fancy!
DeleteI have considered a scan and cut but so many stamps now come with matching dies and I really quite enjoy cutting so don't see the need, I can think of lots of other things to spend the money on!!
Hi Anne, sorry to hear that you have one of these awful viruses, they really knock the stuffing out of you, I've finally come through the other end, but it took a while,hope you get rid of it soon.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, great images and you've done a fab job of the colouring. Loving your designs too, take care, Kate x
Thank you Kate, I'm pleased to hear you are feeling better x
DeleteFabulous cards Anne, I love the bright colours and the little scenes you've created. Sorry to hear you've not been well, hope that's the end of it now.

DeleteTwo fabulous male cards using this great image. I'm glad you fell better now, these bugs have been rather nasty this year, we've all had something similar recently too, just knocks you back.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Lorraine
Thank you Lorraine, hope you're feeling better now x
DeleteFabulous cards, both of them. I like the little scene you created with the first one and think the year number in the sun on the second one is a terrific idea.
