Oldie For Friday. . . . . . BOGOF


Good morning Friends, Romans, Bloggers. Hope you are all well.

I have to say a big thank you from the heart of my bottom, for your wonderful comments and to my new followers Sheila, Bridget and Cathie . A big splashing welcome to The Pond.
Hello to Messycrafter too. I am overwhelmed by how many people have come for a paddle.

Now, today's offerings are joining in with Patricia and others with her blogging chum Erica's "Oldie for Friday" where you show an old project (or 2 in my case today).
I decided to re-show these cards as a few folk commented on a recent card, that they had not seen fuchsias done on a card before. Also, my newer followers may not have seen these cards as they were featured in June and August 2013 (sent to my good friends, the infamous Nesta and the lovely David).


This one went to best buddy Nesta (for those who don't know, its not her real name but my nickname for her is Nesta Vipers. . . . .she didn't want her real name on the blog as she's wanted on Crimewatch lol!!!)


My good friend David (real name) was the recipient of this one as he's a very keen gardener.


There's fuchsias galore and roses, carnations, daisies and allsorts all die cut and lovingly rolled, embossed, tweaked and glued.

Hope those of you who saw these first time around don't mind seeing them again.

Now, to answer a few comments from my previous post. . . . . . . . . .
Jackie, the Mrs Duck and John show? Heavens to murgatroyd, I think the Channel would be shut down lol!
Norah, Nesta's nIece is not in the least bit domesticated so I would doubt she would recognise a frying pan or rolling pin lol!
Karenlotty, hope that Mexican weather picks up but there is always tequila!
Sue P, it was actually Mr Duck's thong you found. We thought the local kids had nicked it for a catapult. If it fits Graham, you're welcome to keep it, hahaha!

This little blog has made me some wonderful friends. The first person I met was John and then Christine, Hazel, Patricia, Kate, Sue J and Sue P and its fantastic. Thank you Hazel for being one of the first to click on the duck as its led to many special times. 
In this difficult world its nice to know that there's still some genuine people out there so to my paddling chums, old and new, I salute you all!

Don't forget to leave a comment on my last post (and be a follower) by tomorrow night if you want to be in the Ducky Draw for a pressie.

Enjoy your weekend and be good.

  1. Hi Ang. Thanks for showing these two beauties. I was one that said that I had never seen fushias before, I love them. Any chance you could show how you make them ? Have a good weekend. Take care.

  2. Hi Ang, wow these cards are lovely, you must have the patience of a saint to cut and put all those flowers together. I am enjoying looking back over your older posts, very inspiring. Do I really have to work today? Would rather be creating! Have a great Friday. Bx

  3. Good morning, Ang. These two cards are still as beautiful, works of Art and I certainly don't mind seeing them again. Thank you for a lovely start to this Friday morning, with your great sense of humour. Enjoy what ever you are up to today. We should have been heading your way tomorrow but Charlie has a sore back and sitting for hours in the car just wouldn't do it sny good ( was going to get him to go via where you work and hope you were there.

  8. Hi Ange,

  10. Good morning Ang,
    oh boy i am so glad that you decided to reshow these as i haven't got as far back as that yet in your posts. I fell in love with the first one as it was unfolding before my eyes flower, it is so beautiful, so bright and vibrant and real looking and then the next one unfolded. Now i can't pick between the two as both are extraordinary pieces of art. The extremely lucky recipients i hope have them in a picture frame because i just think they are magnificent Ang. Why oh Why did you not enter any of these specimens as part of your audition? You would have walked it or paddled it and i bet i am not the only one to think this, just wait and see?
    Take care dear ducky
    Love and crafty padding

    Still beautiful second time round, must have taken an age to cut a shape all of the flowers, a work of love.

  16. Hi Ang,
    lovely to see you joining in with the Oldie for Friday, and what superb creations too.
    Love every bit of them.
    I think I have only used my fuchsias I made once on a card.
    So thanks for reminding me about them,as they are in box somewhere in my craft room.
    Now this is funny every time I blog lately I seem to follow Jacqui Js comment, on nearly every blog I visit.
    We must have a connection or similar time schedule. lol.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

  19. Loved your fuchsias I tried to find mine so that I could post them but goodness knows where they are. So much stash I can't find them they will turn up one day.
    Have been trying to find homes for all my new purchases and even had a play today. Have a good weekend.

  20. Hi Ang
    Two beautiful cards! They are just bursting with flowers! I love the fuchsias. I think I've missed a thread somewhere - have you explained how to make them? Two weeks to NEC! I'd love to meet up with any blog pals on the Friday, if anyone is going? Best wishes, Anne O
