Merry and Bright and What have I been up to

Morning all

So sorry I missed last weeks regular

Wild Rose Studio

post, but I was a tad busy with something else, see the photo's below, anyway today I made a Christmas Card,

 I used
Dies -  Holly Flourish

Papers - Painted Poinsettias

I used a create and craft half scallop card blank

This was a really quick card to make, I used Sue Wilson's double pierced square dies to create the base layer the designer paper layer and the lifted frame. I used Sue Wilson's pierced flag for the sentiment.  I added the holly flourishes, some smaller Britannia holly flourishes and adorned the whole thing with glitter.  Finishing off with the florals and some tonic pearl drops for the berries.

and the what have I been up to well my hubby got made redundant and got paid up for 3 months garden leave along with his redundancy, so rather than waste the garden leave and the redundancy we started something that has been on our wish list for a very long time.

The base layout, ready to start

The lads with Matt putting the base design in

Adding three ton of gravel

Starting to put in the steps

Adding the decking boards

The roof and decking and steps all done

Just on the painting, adding the roof covering, just ordered the furniture and went out last night to get the lighting

The iron railings will be on before the end of the week

Will take some more photo's soon, preferably with us sat on it

So just a tad busy with work and trying to get this all done, on a plus note 2000 screws went in the decking of which a good 1000 I put in, I don't want to see another screw for quite a while I can tell you.  

Anyway

I will be back again soon and thank you for taking the time to view my blog

Thank you

Morning all

Here I am back for my weekly post for

Wild Rose Studio

today I made a thank you card and I used

Sentiment - Cat and Moon Greetings

Dies -  cat and moon
Papers - Harvest Meadow

I used a create and craft half scallop card blank

I cut the layers with the Sue Wilson double pierced square dies, the top layer is a tattered lace die showing the new WRS papers through.  I cut the die with the papers too and paper pieced using them also.  I added the sentiment cut out with a desiree die and edged this in gold.  I added two ribbons together to create the bow, added four little roses a pearl and rhinestone heart button and finished off with tonic drops.  I used the tonic drops for the cats eyes and nose too.

I will be back again soon and thank you for taking the time to view my blog

I made the card blank and used the computer to create the sentiment.  I used Sue Wilson's flag dies and double pierced square along with the Martha Stewart Daisy punch.  The image and papers are from the House Mouse Triple CD collection.  I added pearl strings from the Hobby House all the way around the frame of the card.  I used MFT rectangle die to cut out the image and added a triple pink bow and some little flowers along with  a heart rhinestone and some pearl dots to finish

Thank you for visiting me, and do hope you will join in with this lovely challenge
