two baubles and a dove

Another good card class again tonight.
One card as always is a bit more work and one is a simple
But although I like both I think the peace stamp & dove card is my fave.

I still have to glue down the bauble inside but I wanted to add some more to the cream insert with the text on it when I got home.

Added to my ever extending list of things to do.



I love the baubles on this card they are circle that have gone through the cuttle bug embossing folder.
The have colour added by using sukra glue on the embossed edges which you leave to dry and then rub with green foils, a bit of wire work for them and they are done.



This is such a beautiful stamp we versa marked and heat embossed.
so pretty and the gold ribbon is just beautiful on it.
I am entering it on This Thursday its all about Challenge.




I really enjoy the classes at Sally's shop.
We always have a right giggle and some of the girls are in their third year of classes so must be good!
It is easy going and I have enjoyed getting to know the girls there.

laptops back!!

Lap top is home! and all fixed! wooooo hooooooo!
So time to up-date what I have been working one the last two days.....

This one is for Magnolia V's Stampavie challenge which this week is clean and simple.
You can use only three colours.

So here is my cream, blue and dark brown.
It is really not my usual style but I think it looks ok.

This one is using a soft centre stamp from Sugar Nellie stamp that I got in an image swap.
The sketch is by Dawny P and is for Papertake Weekly Challenge.

And this one is using the template I bought at card class the other week.
I have used cut out ivy leaves instead of holly and under the yellow post it note is a tiny envelope that has our friends new address on it, obviously I don't want to advertise that here.




And lastly is a wee sneeky peep at a card I have done as DT member for Crafty Muse....
which are safely under wraps for the time being,




but go check out the blog and come and join us on this fortnights challenge. xxx


Am off to go get Emma for card class. Will check out everyones blogs when I get home xxx

Poppies for Remembrance

Poppies for Remembrance

For The Fallen

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

— John McCrae
