Hi crafters! I had a request for this card, which was my last demo on the One Day Wonder shows on Thursday. I used the
Bevelled Glass Striplet to cut the background, cutting it twice to create an continuous background. Once cut, I glued it to a piece of white card. Next I used the inside cutting ring from the
Innsbruck die set to cut an oval in the centre of the background. I added mounting foam to the background of this piece to raise it for dimension and added a piece of the same blue card to the back which covered just the aperture opening. I cut one of the
Innsbruck dies in white using the inner cutting die and the decorative insert. I recessed this piece into the aperture opening, gluing it into place there. I stamped my sentiment from the
Justrite Extra Grand Sentiment set on to blue card and heat embossed it in white. I ran a bead of
dries clear glue along the edges of the strip and dusted it with
Iced Snow and allowed it to dry completely. To make the floral embellishment, I cut several sizes of the
Delicate Daisy Complete petal and used a stylus to shape the petals upwards. I inked the ends lightly with
Stormy Sky distress ink, then added glue to the tips and sprinkled on
Diamond Sprinkles and let it dry well. I stacked all the pieces, offsetting each one to create my flower. I finished it with a large flatback pearl in the centre. I cut two of the
Petite Vinery in white and seated my flower on some
white tulle with the vinery added around it. I tucked the end of the sentiment strip under the flower and attached the other end with a glue dot with some bend added in to it for a bit of a flowing movement. I matted the card with a thin blue mat and a final white mat. On the inside white mat, I added
Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots around the edge to frame the card. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Cheryl - so pleased for you, another hurdle jumped.
morning Sue
First I have cast my votes for the Craft Awards and it was more than a pleasure to do so. You give so much of yourself to everyone and you surely deserve the accolade.
Today's gift is really beautiful and one that suits me fine. I love the format and not I really really NEED that strip die. The colour scheme today is so so gentle and warm (sometimes blue can come across as cold but is still my favourite colour scheme). I shall definitely be doing a version of today's gorgeous gift.
Norah - You deserve all the compliments you get after all the hours and work you will have put in making those beautiful wedding invites. Your Nephew not knowing that they are hand crafted and thinking they are outside bought has to be one of the highest compliments you can get. Please give yourself a large (but very gentle) pat on your back.
Sandra - So sorry I missed collecting you (lol) Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a Burgundian retreat for crafting - and I don't have a carpet in sight so no hoovering to be done lol. Hoping you're managing to get some crafting done.
Steph - Well here I am sat at my laptop and looking out onto the garden as it's just getting light. At the moment I'm trying not to look out too much as while we were back in the UK we had a very large weeping willow tree pruned down to size (and although I had to agree that it had grown much too large and if it or part of it came down in a storm our little house would have been damaged)and now it's me that's weeping. It looks so strange after seeing it there for 15years and I don't like one little bit. I know that it will grow again but I'm so sentimental about trees as they are beautiful and so alive.
Ah well freezer and cupboards full so hopefully I can get some crafting done today.
To all who are under 100% hope you feel better as the day goes along. To all take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Good morning Sue another superb card I love it. I love the colour. And I'm going to have ago at making one of these flowers. Take care Sue xx

thank you

Good morning Sue today's card is beautiful. I love the soft blue and the dies are gorgeous. Have a great day. Hugs Jackie
Thanks for showing this card. I managed to see the demo on the show, which helped me realise how to cut the bevelled glass striplet multiple times side by side.I couldn't get mine even before.
Love this card sue the colours are so calming the strip let die is fantastic.
Lovely card, I was looking for more ideas how to use my bevelled glass striplet die so this is well timed.
Michele.
A beautiful card Sue, love how you've used the dies & gorgeous colour, hugs Carole Z xx
Beautiful, love the subdued colours xx
A beautiful card today,Sue. The way you have used several layers of daisies to create a more complex die, is something to try.

GM Sue - love the background and who would have thought you could make a flower like this (looks like a crysanthemum to me) from a daisy die - amazing - must try that!

Good morning Sue. I just love, love this card and that striplet, I have the other three striplets and borrow this one from my sister, but I am going to have to buy this one as I just love using them all for different projects. Also they cover so many occasions. Hazel x
Beautiful card today. I live this striplet die as it can look feminine or also suitable for male cards.

Morning Sue, a beautiful card, the daisy die is so versatile I am so glad I got my set. I hope everyone has a peaceful week.
Love Rosemarie xx
Gorgeous Card! Love the soft gentle colour and the touch of sparkle, I have voted for you in every possible category, Good Luck you really deserve to win as you give so much of yourself to us and your craft.
I'm sorry I haven't been commenting lately ( but I did check out Sue' s beautiful cards most days ) .
My husband Iain had an emergency quadruple heart bypass operation and was rushed from Raigmore Hospital in Inverness ( he went in for cardiac tests on the Wed.) and they kept him in. On the Thursday a surgeon was in from Aberdeen and said he had a bed there and performed the operation on the Friday, he was in Intensive Care for a week and was transferred from the high dependency unit yesterday to a normal ward , so he's on the mend now , thank goodness! I had our daughter Mandy for company last week and our son Stewart at the weekends so that was a great comfort.
So that's what has been happening, I have managed to visit The Papeterie and treat myself to a couple of Sue dies as I won't be down at the Glasgow this time.
Love and Hugs to all xo
Lovely card Sue... Happy crafting and have a nice day.... x
Very pretty card today - I love the colours
Morning Sue, beautiful card, love the soft colour. Love Jean xxx

I adore this card Sue. Just love the shade of blue you've used-it's so delicate. Really like this striplet die, it's the next buy on my list.
Love Val in Spain x
This is sooo gorgeous Sue and as usual you´ve made another masterpiece. I saw it on the show too, and loved it too, but soo hard as there was so many outstanding cards, and I would love to see them all with my fingers, that´s for sure ha ha ha.
Oh, that flower is gorgeous! Love the soft pastel color scheme.
Hugs,

Morning Sue,
A very elegant card today and I love the way you have used the striplet fie and the Insbruck dies todether. Never thought of using the daisy die to make a 'mum' type flower, I used to use the Spellbinders small scalloped circlem cut each scallop into the centre and it used totake for ever but now I can use your daisy die...many thanks for that tip.
Love the blue card you have used too.
Hugs to all who need one or even if you just feel like a hug....do hope your days get better very soon. There are so many I could name but I would be so upset t think I had someone out so I'll just send my hugs to all of the lovely Wilsonettes.
Love Sheila xx
Hello Sue,
Yet another beautiful card. I don't know how you manage to come up with such stunning cards day after day. But I am very glad you do.
Love, Roz.x
This is very effective! Such soft delicate colours - beautiful
Dear Sue What a stunning card! I do remember it from one day wonder and loved it then. Take Care Love Michelle S xxx
Another beautiful card. I really think the striplets are so so useful. Use mine a lot at the moment. One of my go to dies.xx

Good morning Sue & my lovely crafty friends,
Love today's card Sue, everything about it, colour, die combination a and that flower is to die for, so many flower designs from one die, that above all else shows that these dies were designed by a true crafting professional, you deserve to win every single award across the board Sue, you are one of the very few Kind, caring, genuinely honest to the core, you are not in this to make a fast buck and disappear , you can tell that everything you have put your name too has been designed with us in mind, so that we get every single pennies worth of value out of our purchase, you then go out of your way for days,weeks and months afterwards showing us different ways of getting the most out of our dies/stamps, there should be a special award for you as you are in a category of your own, above and beyond all others! Hugs xxx
Anne, I am so sorry yo hear that you have been through the emotional rollercoaster over the past few weeks, I am so happy to hear that Iain is on the mend, if it's any comfort to you a close friend of ours went throug The same surgery and after recovery was a new man, he hadn't been aware that his heart was not working at full capacity, so after surgery he had a real new lease of life, so you will hopefully have that to look forward to, get ready to keep up! I am so glad you had your lovely daughter to help you share the worry! Hugs xx to all of you xx
Janet, I would love to come to your lovely French country home for a craft retreat, it sounds idyllic, I think it would shatter the peace of your quiet haven though!
Your weeping willow will grow back more beautiful than ever in time, it will had done it good, I know what you mean though they look kind of sad and eerie after they have been chopped! I would love to see some photos of your little piece of heaven and the surrounding area,
I am glad you are all stocked up and ready to craft, what does Mr E do with his spare time? Will you stay out there for Christmas ? Hugs xxxx
We are off to take Lucy to the eye hospital today to try and fret to the bottom of her ongoing double vision, it hasn't been right since the surgery earlier this year, I hate hospitals! My mother & father in law had to rush home yesterday afternoon as their burglar alarm was activated, there were supposed to stay until today, luckily it was a false alarm caused by their electricity tripping off, but a good job they went as the freezers were both off! I always feel so incredibly exhausted after guests, I just don't relax while they are here!
I am sending big hugs to all of you lovely ladies,
Hugs as always,
Sandra xxxxxx
Beautoful, love the soft colours and gorgeous flower
Lovely elegant card Sue. I am awaiting the daisy dies and as I am in the middle of deciding which flowers to finish a card for my daughter in law with this has given me the perfect answer. Thank you.Xx
Morning Sue, a beautiful card waiting
for the Innsbruck die to arrive so
I can have a go at this one.

That is very pretty and delicate looking, could use for so many occasions.
Love this card and since I have this striplet die, I think this has inspired me to use it for a special card I need to make.
Jan
Morning Sue,
Loved this when you did the demo on C&C, such a great way to use the striplet die, I have two of your others but I think I'll have to buy this one as well. Great flower too would never have believed this was your daisy die.
Have a good day.

This is one I missed last week. It is gorgeous.
Hi Sue
Blue and white is always so stunning, it looks like a wonderful piece of Wedgwood! I don't have this background (yet) so I tried it with the bevelled glass striplet and it looked pretty amazing so thank you again Sue for all your inspiring demo's.
Lorna D
Hi Sue. Lovely card today - gorgeous flower from your daisy die. Have a great day. Hugs to all xxx
Hi Sue,
Really like today's card, especially the colour. The striplet die is so useful as well.
Anne, how awful for you ( and your poor husband of course!). I'm really pleased he's on the mend now, special hugs to you both. Janet, I know just how you feel. We have a beautiful white flowering cherry in our garden. It has been there for 27 years and my husband decided it was blocking the light too much so arranged to have it pruned. I did admit it needed a bit cut off as it was huge, but it was my pride and joy. Anyway, I had to go out when it was done and when I came back it was awful! It reminded me of a big cactus in the desert in America! However, it did give a lot more light into the garden, and throughout summer, it has recovered, but I've told my hubbie to cut it back into a more rounded shape once the leaves have gone. So your tree will recover and as Norah says it will probably be stronger. I feel exactly the same as you do about trees and weeping willows are beautiful. Off to craft now to try to catch up with what I should have done yesterday until lack of electricity put a stop to it. Love and hugs to all, love Alison xxxx
Beautiful card. Love the flower.
Gr Elly
Hi just me, sorry it should've been Sandra not Norah! Love Alison xxxx
Very pretty.
Hello Sue, this is such a special card, it's very soft and delicate with a sentiment that will cover a multitude of reasons to send it.
Today we have lost a wonderful actress mum and friend to many and this card would be perfect to send to her family
X Ros
Hi Sue, I just love this card. The colour is so delicate and the flower is so pretty. I will have to get the striplet die.
Regards, Evis M.
Morning Sue,
Very pretty, soft colours, lovely. X
Lovely card, Sue, Enjoyed seeing it on C&C too. So many ideas recently that I have still to try.
Anne, so sorry you'r husband has been through such a bad time, but glad he is on the mend now.
I know you said you won't be at Glasgow (hobbycraft) this week, but are any other Wilsonettes going. I will be there on Thursday.
Cheers
Janice W
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, another brilliant card today Sue, love the colours (my favourite) and also the striplets they are inspirational, I bet all the other companies follow suit now you have brought them onto the market - yes I know they have been out for quite a few months now but they are good - busy weekend making cards, used lots of your dies and embossing folders so pleased with what I have done, all down to your inspiration.
Have a great Monday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue,
Love everything on this gorgeous card. Must try it myself.

Hi Sue,
I think the Bevelled Glass Striplet is very striking and so versatile.
Veronique L
Morning Sue. A beautiful card and lovely colour today. I dont have this striplet but have the others. Im sure I could do something similar. This is what I like so much about your cards Sue you can change things but you give the inspiration in the first place. Thank you for sharing your talent. Hugs Heather x
Morning Sue and friends. What a beautiful, delicate, soothing card to start another week with, the shade of blue is just so pretty, perfect choice.
I am a true fan of pastel colour's and are so easy to combine with a stronger colour for the 'pop factor' and your daisy die flower is the perfect partner.
I know just how mega busy you are Sue, but last Thursday you mentioned so many ways of using your daisy petals. Is there any chance at all that a tutorial of all the flowers you can make with this die could be added to the others that are at the top of your blog please. I for one am very poor at seeing what can be done until you have shown us, then its ' of course, how stupid of me' Im sure Im not alone with the lack of light bulb moments ! Just an idea for the future. Sorry.
Janet, how lovely, I can almost smell fresh bread and coffee in the distance. What exceptional views to craft in. More please : )
Im sending hugs to Ann and husband, it can only get better from here on xx
To those that are unwell, suffering in any way, I send my love and thoughts to you today.
Hoping you all have a lovely day whatever your day holds.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Morning Sue, another great card for us to drool over, certainly one to get our mojos going. Love blue on cards so clean and crisp.
Anne so sorry to hear about your husband, but he is on the mend now and I bet feeling a lot better.
Hugs to all who need them today, take care, Jess x
Luv the background on this card.
Hi Sue
I really love this card from the soft colours to the beautiful flower, thanks for the inspiration I will now use my Daisy die in a different way.
Anne glad your husband is on the mend
Hugs and best wishes to everyone

Hi Sue. What a gorgeous card, the colour is so delicate and pretty, such a clever flower and finally who couldn't love this beautiful Bevelled Glass Striplet. I love it, it is at the top of my "non Christmas" wish list : )

Hi Sue thank you for showing the pretty blue and white card from your demo last week.

Love the colours on this card ..xx
Good morning Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes,
I love the double layered look & the aperture within the beautiful striplet die cut is just that bit different to normal. Oh how i love The beautiful colour of blue that you have used, so soft. The chrysanthemum that you have created out of your daisy die looks just like those spikey ones that you get and just with the edges tipped, it really finishes of a beautiful card. Thank you Sue.
Janet, oh boy do i know what you mean about your beloved Weeping Willow. My lugghead Husband has cut down all bar one of the Fir trees at the bottom of mums garden that blanked out the ugly wall of the prison. Why? Because the branches didn't start until after the height of the fence.DOhhh!!!! that was the general idea. He took away the Fir tree that was at the side running down the garden because it only went to one side. It has had a wood pigeon nest there for the last 2 decades. Einstein... well it can make a new nest somewhere else. No it can't because it is too late in the season eejit. He has taken down a number of the trees and it would have broken my mum's heart to see her bare garden. The bottom of the garden was her secret hideaway that you couldn't see from the house without going down the garden through the wrought iron archway gate to the hidden secrets. Now you can see right down to the bottom and if he had his was the willow lattice work that has fruit trees behind it would be down as well and they would be out. The big greenhouse is now down and up at his nephew Stuarts', but now he wants down the apple tree that was behind it and the rowan tree at the side of the hut doors and i have told him no more trees are coming down. See he likes the quietness of the village but wants it to be more town like...bare of natural living, growing life. He's thrown out the hedgehog house that he says was rotten, i'm still trying to find where about. Sometimes my other half just makes me want to scream and i would try and knock some sense in but there's nothing there i am quite sure to knock the sense into. Oh don't get me wrong, i know that the garden was badly overgrown but there is such a thing as tidying up and sheer massacring just for the sake of it. I think it is just a pity he couldn't have shown an interest in sorting it out when mum was still here and tidied it up for her sake to look out on to.
Oh Anne flower, i am so sorry to hear that Iain has been warring with himself. I hope it wasn't all that excitement with the wedding anniversary cruise and party shenanigans. We told him not to go up and do that birdie dance, but I am glad that he is on the mend but he must at all costs when he comes home BEHAVE himself as he has been so lucky this time, we don't want a recurrence thank you very much. You must have been at your wits end you poor thing, but i am glad your daughter and son were keeping you as sane as you could hope to be at that time. Sending you and Iain up hugs, you to say we're here and Iain in the hope that he will be up and about again soon.
It must have gave your poor parents such a fright though Sandra with that going off like that. I don't know, but once your house has been violated by a burglar it just doesn't feel the same again somehow, so i am glad that it was nothing more than the electricity going off. I am quite sure dad can wait on you and i bet they were telling you off for doing things that they could do or go and do for you. My school friend made me a coffee the first time i went to her house after a number of years and after that it was every man for themselves although when she thinks she's doing a good turn by filling up the kettle, i hate to tell her i can't lift it. I can feel quite stupid at times because i can't do some of the simplest things a lot of the times, but hey we find a way around the problems.
end of part 1
part 2
I am waiting on my new hoover coming and i can't wait to try it out to see if it does duff up my carpets like it is supposed to do, but lets hope that i can push it eh? I have a wee one up the stair so i don't need to try and lift it up and down, but with Tia's casting, i have chocolate brown hair every where. I just seem to get it cleared and it is as bad as ever. We have had her on a diet this past 6 weeks as she was a third overweight and not because of what she was getting to eat but because a certain person wasn't taking her a walk. It is amazing just what a walk has done as she is now wiggling her bum about showing off her new waistline. Her face has slimmed down as well coming to a more pointed face rather than a solid heavy one. It's a shame because she loves a walk and gets quite excited now when she goes out with her daddy at night for her walk and for him to check on mum's house. She is looking around for her granny and Milly and can't understand why she can't find them. A lot of the times that she went to she her granny i would need to warn mum to sit down because Tia comes running in like a hooligan and knocks her over in her excitement at seeing her. She was like a skittle that got sent flying when Tia enters the room, more like a Shetland pony rather than a lab.
Well schools back up here and all is quiet on the Ochil frontier, just wish that the weather was better, but hey it's autumn so i will wish all my angels a good day and sending hugs to all in the blog and not at the moment,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Morning Sue, you've done it again, a really lovely card. I just adore the colours it could be used for so many occasions.
Love Zena x
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
Sue, this is absolutely fantastic. Would also make a great man's card, but without the flower. I love it.
Anne C, I hope Iain is soon back to "normal" (whatever that is) and that you recover from the shock of events which spiral like that. I went through something similar about 7 years ago and couldn't sleep, eat or rest until George was home - although there are times when I could strangle him!!!
Norah, I think tree cutting is a "man" thing. I dread the words "I'll just trim that bush/tree" as it usually means there'll be 2 or 3 twigs left sticking out of the ground when he's finished!!!
I Hope everyone has as good a day as they can, and love to all xx
Hi Sue
A very beautiful card again today. The gentle colours are lovely and the dies gorgeous. Thank you.
Bye for now.
SandraP xxx
Gorgeous card Sue. I am glad you have posted this card as being on Freeview I couldn't see your last show. I have just checked out your video tutorials and spotted one which explains how to extend the striplet die so I will have to give this one a try. Many thanks for posting it. Have a great week. x
Lovely card Sue and I love this soft blue colour Take care allx
Hi Sue,
I'm in awe - this card is so lovely, lovely, lovely and elegant. The colours are just beautiful, as are the dies (Bevelled glass striplet is my favourite of them). And anything produced with the "Austrians" is elegant.
Flower is awesome - I suppose you can tell that I really love this card.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue.
What a lovely card for a Monday morning.
Have just received my dies from C&C and can't wait to try them out. They are so beautiful, I must say your xmas dies are quite something also and I have quite a few.
Take care
Jane xx
Hi Sue,
Thank you very letting us have a closer look at this lovely card. The colours are so elegant and classy and your flower is perfect. I have been trying to make it and I have to say its not have bad - although nothing like as good as yours. Practice makes perfect! Will keep trying. Thank you Sue for everything!
I think they need a special category for you in the Craft voting world - Simply The Best - Better Than All The Rest! Lol.
Anne - good to hear from you. You have been missed . Sorry about your husband Iain being so unwell but thankfully now on the road to recovery. As someone said earlier we have a good friend who went through a similar ordeal 6 years ago and he is like a new man! Get ready to keep up! Lovely when the family rallies round - what would we do without them. Sending love to you all. x take care and don't tire yourself out.
Norah - my heart goes out to you about the garden. Gardens are full of memories too. Unfortunately not everyone is a gardener and to some gardening is just a chore. To those of us who love it - it brings so much pleasure and joy. Hopefully with the coming of Spring you will see things which have survived the onslaught and have real pleasure planning new additions. Try not to be too sad. Sending you extra love and hugs today - big hug for Rory too. x
Cheryl - thrilled at your news. x
I got a bit of a surprise this morning! Was still upstairs in nightie when door knocker went. Standing on mat was decorator come to paint the kitchen!!! He was supposed to come when we were in Spain. Well at least it's being done even if I wasn't ready. Having read Anne's post and others I had a talk to myself along the lines of - Myra get things in the right perspective and be thankful! It was still a shock.
Must go, no more rambling/moaning.
Love to everyone ,
Myra xx

I Saw Phill Martin At The Show I Went To In Doncaster It Was Great As He Had Many Of His Own Products And He Also Had Quite A Few Things From The Cosmic Shimmer Range.
Sue Take Great Care

Hello Sue,
Beautiful card, and I really love this striplet die, it's one I keep going back to all the time, it can look so different in whatever colour or background you choose. Also it's brilliant for male or female cards. The flower is really gorgeous, yet another reason for owning the daisy dies - they are so versatile.
Take care, hope you have a good week.
love Brenda xxx
Anne C - What a worrying time you have had, so pleased your husband is out of intensive care and improving, I'm sure your son and daughter have been a great support to you both.
Sandra - Hope hospital visit goes well and you get some answers to Lucy's problem.
Norah - Sorry about your beautiful trees.
Very nice card..it has such a soft touch using the light blue...
It turned out really nice..
Well done Sue
Good day, Sue and fellow Wilsonsettes, hope the weather's not too extreme where you are. Love this elegant, Wedgewood coloured card, Sue.
I have both the Daisies Die sets and from their first use, found I could make different flowers : - )
They were a great purchase and get used often !
Anne Crawford, glad your husband is on the mend after major heart surgery. Enjoy your new dies. You deserve a treat x
Janet (Ecco of Sheffield) - I know what you mean about trees, I love them too and get upset when people cut them down uncaringly, because they 'spoil' or block their view, etc.
Hugs to all in pain, or need and missing Wilsonettes

Gorgeous card. The flower is exquisite. I am always amazed at how perfectly you are able to form the dots. Guess it just takes practice but I am always afraid to do that on my cards as I always mess up at least a couple of dots when I try it. I love the dies you used. I pinned. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765605360450/
Beautiful card, Sue and such pretty colours. I love your centre die and must use this on a card soon. Your flower is stunning and so elegant. Can't wait to receive my happy mail.

Special Hugs to Sandra, & Margaret corgi owner & all my lovely Wilsonette friends & to those that are missing for what ever reason hope to see them back very soon.Sending you all Love & Big Hugs I have plenty Lynda xx
Hi Sue, just back from the optician and even with drops in my eyes (I've had to magnify the screen!) this card is beautiful. Love the colours and it would be suitable for many occasions. When my daisy dies arrive - hopefully very soon - I will have all the ingredients to make something similar. Thank you.
Anne C - I did wonder where you had been hiding but never guessed it was in The Papeterie, lol. I'm glad your husband is now recovering well and can't help but think how thoughtful of him to wait until all your celebrations were over before getting ill :)

Loved this card when I saw you demo it. Thanks so much for going through the steps again. It is truly an elegant card and I love the colours and the way you made a different flower once again using the same flower die.
Good afternoon Sue ,and everyone,to day's card is delicate,soft calm,if you can say that about a card,the blue is fantastic.

What another beautiful card. The colours are so restful and again works in its appearance of simplicity. Waiting for the rest of my Austrian dies to arrive, can't wait to play!
Such subtle colour makes this card very elegant Sue. Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous card,beautiful flowers and fab colour choice angxx
Very pretty, soft and gentle :)
lovely card Sue as always. Really like the different flower thanks as always
Hi Sue
I love this card. The colours and the dies are gorgeous. The flowers dies are so versatile. I've done a full stint today at school. The new intake at Foundation are the worst épée have had. They do not sit, they do not listen and seem to think they can do as they wish.
I'll have to read the posts later especially Norah's as I'm cooking tea and making Tomato Soup. Hugs to all in need of one today, and I hope your not to washed out for our meet tomorrow Sandra.
Lovely card today Sue, I haven't got this die but I can see how useful it would be - added to my wishlist now.
Craftihappinesss to everyone and love from Pearl.
Lovely card, love the colours and the dies. xxxx
What lovely colours for your card Sue.
The glitter certainly lifts it.
Oh Janet I can sympathise with you over the loss of your Willow tree. We had a fruiting Cherry tree which was about a hundred years old but it had gone rotten in the centre and we were told it had to come down - I know you will believe me when I tell you I went to talk to it and say I was sorry and I cried like anything.
Love and hugs everybody.

very serene and tranquil card. soft and elegant, hugs xx
Beautiful card and so easy. Thanks for all the ideas Sue.
Hello Sue, what a beautiful card, love the soft blue colours. Have just finished Hubz' birthday card, which was inspired by the very first time I saw the shaving foam technique on your blog. Thank you. Bx
Hello Sue. A beautiful and elegant card today. xx
Hi Sue and everyone. Lovely card Sue,Have the striplet and the petals so will really try to make this(maybe tomorrow).Had family around all day and it's lovely to see them but uj how tiered after they gone so weather permitting,rain and dull I will see if I can make some crafting.Husband make room in your office !
AnnC- you have had a terrible time,so glad to hear that all gone well and that your husband is recovering.Hugs to you both.
Norah-the poor trees but hopefully they will one day grow up again and the garden will look better then ever. Your Tia sound a lot of fun.Hug to you and Rory.
Pat S-you are a very brave lady. Foundation is a room full of little terrors and they have not a clue how to behave.I saw that more and more and as you can't punish them or anything while they can kick,spit and swear at you etc. I left after 15 years in a first school.Best thing I did but miss them funny enough sometimes......
To all Wilsonettes take care and have a good night
Hugs Maria x
