Miss You.....

Good morning everyone...Hope you all had a great week-end.  I went to LOTV on Saturday for a colouring class, really had a great time, and it is practice makes perfect now lol!! The promarkers still don't feel quiet right but I am going to keep trying them lol!!  Dawny P was a fantastic teacher and had lots of patience:).  Now on to my card for this week, we were sent some lovely images to have a play with from Julie at "Ladies That Craft" and this was my choice..it's called "Washing Line"...when I first saw it, I thought of using it as a "Missing You" card, as there is only clothing for one on the line, or maybe a "New Home" card...I think this image has lots of potential, don't you, like fairies and goblins etc lol!! You must pop over to "Make it Monday #113" linky party, and check out my teamies cards...WOW!! they are amazing!! I have used some of my new dies that I got from Which Craft show last week...The flower is a Sweet William by Cheery Lyn, and the olive leaves are also Cheery Lyn, arn't they fantastic..and my lovely flower border is a Memory Box die, isn't it gorgeous...

My No.1

Good morning everyone, just a quick post as I'm on work shortly!! Always rushing lol!! David and I had our 42nd Wedding  Anniversary yesterday, , so was panicking when I never had a card ready.....how come we have all year to do something but leave it until the last minute lol!!....I had made this card sometime ago for Valentines, and it was still in my store of cards...I found this fabulous sentiment from Little Claire's that my daughter had and it just sum's up my feelings to a "T" I count myself so lucky to have found such a special man...don't get me wrong we have had our ups and downs, but we always sort it out!..we've had a fabulous life together, lots of adventures..I couldn't of asked for anyone better...Anyway less of the mush lol!!... .I coloured this fabulous image from Kenny K with promarkers, not very good with them at all! but David didn't mind he thought it was fantastic!!...I'm going for a colouring class at LOTV this week-end for marker pens...I keep trying to use them like my pencils, but it doesn't work like that, does it?...

Will see you later, off to work now...
Love and Hugs,
Marjorie
