MAWTT July Challenge . . . . . . . . .


Good morning all you lovely blogging folk. Only a couple of days gap since my last offering as its time for another challenge for Team A over at MAWTT.

This month's challenge has been set by by the lovely Janice T  and is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

No design papers

Please pop over and see what the other gals have done for your inspiration and delectation. And, why not have a go and enter the challenge as there is lots of scope with Janice's theme.

Now, my card was a commission, if you will, from my pal Davey (he who is the Phileas Fogg of Coventry). He, himself, celebrated his 70th last month (I've yet to feature his card) and he asked me if I would make a card for his lovely sister in law, who was also approaching 70. I was happy to oblige, as I was fast becoming an expert on making 70th birthday cards by that point lol!!!
The colour choice was David's but you all know I love a bit of purple action.


Ingredients
Cream card
Lilac card (Lidl)
SB Bitty Blossoms (it had to be lol!!!)
SB Butterfly Circles die
Docrafts circle dies
CE Stitched Bunting Numbers stamps
CE Jacobean Floral embossing folder (Had to have it as soon as I saw it)
Cadbury (other chocolate is available) purple ribbon (Mei Flower)
Bling butterfly from a pack that was a present from Wendywoo (Spanish Crafter)
Dusty Concord DI
Docrafts teeny bling


The card was enjoyed by it's recipient so all's good.

I hope that you can join in with us at MAWTT as it would be lovely to see some of your wonderful creations entered into the challenge.

Ended up back in hospital Tuesday night.........I'm thinking of getting a season ticket! 
I'm still keeping everything crossed for Sunday and getting to Silverstone. Much to Jenson Buttons relief, I probably won't have the energy to throw my underwear (clean, before you ask) at him lol!!!

Until next time, you all take care and smile............it makes people wonder what you've been up to lol!!!

  1. Like this idea Ang. I am in the middle of making a 70th card too, incorporating lacemaking and quilting.
    Hope the doctor's visit had good results. Enjoy Silverstone - an area for locals to avoid this weekend as traffic and helicopter activity will be horrendous.

  7. Hi Ang, sorry you've had yet another dash to the hospital, hope you get used to the meds and start to feel tons better soon. Hope all goes well for Silverstone. I bet Jenson can't wait to see you in the crowd.
    Love the card today. There was definitely a baby boom in 1946 so many birthdays, all those amorous men coming home from the war. I'm a 46 gal myself so I know about these things.
    Take care Ang.
    Love Val in Spain xxx

  9. Stunning. I look every day but don't always have time to comment I love it when you inset those roses into a circle like that. Yes, I hit 70 last month, so I too was part of the baby boom.

  11. Ang, you are not doing well are you, infact I think you should just book a side room and make it comfortable with all you own bits. No joking apart I hope you feel well enough for Sunday that's the GP you like going to!
    Love your card. Good choice of colour too!
    Please take care. Hazel xxx

  22. Hello Ang,
    Fabulous card, I love it. My OH brother was born exactly 9 months to the day after his father returned from the war, funny that!!!!
    I'm sorry to read that you took advantage of the NHS again. The sooner they get you sorted, the better. Have you got your scan date yet? What tests did they do this time? Are they doing anything? Sorry, so many questions, but I don't understand why they are not moving faster. I was at the Rapid Response Unit quicker than you can say Formula One, so I hope they do something soon.
    Now take it easy with Jensen when you see him, we don't want him to get overexcited when he spots you!!! I hope you are well enough to get there, and enjoy it.
