Since I don't yet have enough cards for posting every day, I was thinking that I might just use the weekends for a fun trivia game. What do you think? I love trivia and would love to share that love with you for a little while if that is okay? If you are not interested in trivia games then I will return on Monday morning with more cards for the week ahead. All for now, Sue x

Hello Friend
Hi bloggers! I have a "window" card but it is made with a shadowbox die instead! I started by cutting the Celebrations Shadowbox in white but with an arctic blue card beneath it during cutting. The blue card gave me the embossed version of the shadowbox so I was able to see where the lines on the shadowbox would fall when assembled. I cut several pieces of the fence in white and glued them to the lower left box. I cut the bicycle from the Garden Accessories die set in cobalt blue then added the wheels, seat and grips with a black marker. I cut two of the vases from the Windowsill Accessories die set and added foliage to them. I added them to the box next to the bicycle. For the top boxes, I cut a birdhouse, grass, some flowers and a flying bird to go all together in the thin box at the top. For the largest box, I cut the tree from the Swing Tree die set and added three sections of the foliage to it. I tucked a small cloud under the edge of the tree, then added some flowers and a squirrel. I added mounting foam to the back of the shadowbox then assembled the card. I cut the Hello Friend sentiment from the Friendship Wordie sheets to the top of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.

Good Friday morning Sue, hope all is well. Fabulous card today, the detailed dies you have used look amazing even down to the 2 flowers. Yes I agree witth the weekend trivia, great idea count me in.

Hi Sue and all that visit today. Lovely card today Sue. I love that bike die. But cycling is not my thing. I could never get control of a bike and ended up at A&E every time I tried. Lol. But it is a lovely card.

Love the card. I remember seeing you demo the use of two pieces of card and have used the technique many times. I’m in with a trivia game too. X

Hi Sue and all that visit today. Late again !! I need to create an alarm to remind me you're 'home' again. Talking of which Sue before I could drive - like other 'friends' here the bus was my mode of transport so come this time of year when it was dark earlier and people put their lounge light on but left the curtains open, id sit on the side of the bus road side so as we stopped at lights or in a long queue of traffic you could take a sneaky look sideways to see inside the homes and I mean a sneaky look lol so the sample today is right up my street if you pardon the pun. Love love love these accessory dies so guess whats on my gift list?
ReplyDeleteThat's my addition to your idea of a trivia and probably the extent of my general knowledge and only because its my question and I know the answer lol.
Hope all is well.
