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...

I'm on work this afternoon, and it's Candice's 13th Birthday this Friday and I still have to make a card...another card I should have had done ages ago...do you think we could turn the clocks back by a week, instead of an hour lol!!!

I can honestly remember hanging clothes on the line and not all that long ago.......LOL We always love the smell of freshly washed linens mixed with fresh air. Wonderful choice of colors and dies that really make this one spectacular card. "Hugs"

  28. I just told Chrissy that I wanted to be miniature and live on her cards, but now I'm thinking I want to buy the land next door and put this house there and call it my "summer" home. I love, love, love how you've colored up this image. Such a magical little world you've created here and it brings a huge smile to my face. Beautiful work Marjorie. :)
    Hugs,

  37. Those are fabulous, outstanding miss you card. As we know that how fast time is running and the distance is going to increase and this is also a fact that we don't have time to meet a person and see him/his off. But there is a card facility whereby we don't need to go here and there. Just order it and sent it to that person whom you want to say "miss you".
