Good morning everyone, thank you for popping by and I hope you all had a lovely Easter despite the atrocious weather we’ve been having in the UK

I didn’t manage to dig any wedding pictures out to share, they’re under a lot of stuff in the attic that I keep meaning to sort through
Our silver anniversary didn’t quite go to plan, Keith had the day off so as it was sunny we decided to have a drive out. On the way home a young girl crashed into the back of us when we’d stopped to let the car in front of us turn. Keith’s little sports car is his pride and joy but thankfully everyone was ok although it certainly didn’t do my neck any good, it’s just been starting to feel better and I’m back to square one

I have a couple more cards today using the new girls from LOTV, I like these older girls, they’re great for teens who are past the cute stage
These one is called Coffee…
and this one is Curls…
The papers I used are from a lovely Stampin’ Up pad and the heart die is Sue Wilson
I have so many part used pads that when I start one now I’m going to try and make a few cards from it. I hate cutting them if they’re pretty, and even when I start a new pad I find myself using the ones first that are my least favourite so I can save the nicest ones
It’s like your best clothes or your favourite perfume, they never end up getting used!

It’s a rare sunny day here today so I’m going to do a bit of gardening this afternoon. I do miss my garden in the Winter and I have some cutting back to do
Enjoy your Thursday crafters
Wonderful cards ! The new girl images are great, I know just what you mean about papers I have had a couple of pads for years that I just can't bring myself to use Lol what are us crafters like :)

DeleteTwo gorgeous cards Anne. Fabulous images and I agree, perfect for teens. It is such a long time since I visited - really going to try and find time to visit blogs more regularly. So sorry to hear about your bump to hubbies card and hope your neck get better soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs Sharon. x
Thanks Sharon, I'm the same, it's very time consuming
DeleteAnne x
So sorry for your anniversary, it seems hasn't been very good... Lovely both the LOTV cards, great coloring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alice x
DeleteTwo brilliant cards and great images. Sorry to hear about your prang and hope your neck has recovered. I am just like you with my papers. I always look for papers I don't love and cannot bring myself to use the ones I do love!! It was such a gorgeous afternoon here in Suffolk, I was doing the same as you, cutting down the plants that had to be attended too. Lovely to wear a T-shirt and not a big jumper!! Hugs, Carol S.xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol x
DeleteThese are lovely. I am the opposite with papers using my faves first. I take out the ones I don’t like and make up a pack to sell. Be a devil and use your faves. Hope your neck is better soon x
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne, that's a good idea!
DeleteTwo fabulous cards! Fantastic colouring of them both. I especially love the second one cut with the heart die (I'd love to know the exact name of it please if you wouldn't mind). All the papers you've used are gorgeous. I tend to use my favourites first. I'm sorting my craft room and can't believe how much paper and ribbons I've got not to mention the stamps I've not used (really don't mention the stamps as hubby might hear :D ).
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your car accident. I hope your neck feels better soon and her insurance pays to put your hubby's car back in perfect shape again. At least it was on the way home when you'd had your lovely day out and not before. Take care, Debra x
Thanks Debra, yes at least it was on the way back I hadn't thought of that!
DeleteIt's Sue Wilson's Italian collection, I left a message for you on your blog x
Gorgeous cards Anne, great images and lovely papers.
ReplyDeleteSorry to here about your accident, not a good day out for you. hope your neck is heeling.

Thank you Pam x
DeleteWhaouu !! Comme c'est beau !!!! Les deux sont superbes même si j'ai une préférence pour la première.

Thank you Thaly x
DeleteHi Anne, so sorry to hear about your accident, and the last thing you need for your neck complaint. Hope the pain gets less. Good thought that no one was seriously hurt.
ReplyDeleteLove the girls and your cards, wonderful colouring and design, Kate x
Thank you Kate, yes it could have been so much worse x
DeleteOooo what a pair of beauties, Luv Sam x
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam x
DeleteLovely cards Anne - the hair is FABULOUS! Sorry to hear about Keith's car. Hope it's sorted out without too much fuss. I got out into the garden here last weekend (back still aches to remind me!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Annette x
DeleteYou have created two fabulous cards using these teen images, great for those awkward inbetween years when a cutesy image is too young, these are perfect. I love the papers and your choice of colour combo too.
ReplyDeleteI hope your neck is feeling much better by now and the damage to the car is sorted soon, these things happen in an instant but sorting them out can linger on somewhat.
Take care,
Lorraine
Thank you Lorraine x
DeleteHi Anne, super teenager cards, love the mixture of colours.
ReplyDeleteHope you got your gardening done.
Hugs Sue W.
I did! thanks for stopping by Sue x
DeleteWhat wonderful cards Anne! I love the chic, fashionable style to these images, I admit, I'm a little jealous of their hair! lol. Yikes about the car accident! What a horrible way to spend your anniversary. I do hope everyone is alright and walked away uninjured. sending wishes for better days :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamellia we're all ok - the hair is amazing isn't it!
DeleteOh my gosh I can't even begin to comprehend how you have coloured the seccond girls hair in so perfectly. I know that is sort of how my hair looks only shorter but at least 8'm only looking in th Mitror when I see it!! Lol. Two besutiful cards. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valery, you're lucky I'd love curly hair!
DeleteI'm sure I left a comment on here earlier. These two girls are lovely especially the second one. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeletehaha, you did!
DeleteHi, just have to say, your colouring on the curls is completely gobsmacking! i thought you'd stuck fake hair on there at first look. Nice job.
