House of Cards September Challenge. . . . .Photo Inspiration

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you are all well.

Glad you liked my latest Striplet offering. Its still one of my favourite dies.

Now today's offering is my DT creation for House of Cards September Challenge and we hope you will join in by taking your inspiration from the following photo. . . . . . . . . 

Soon as I saw it, I thought of a particular First Edition pad I had, Family Ties. As it was a 12x12 pad, I had extra paper left to make a matching gift box too.

Ingredients

White A5 card base

Orange Lidl card

First Edition Family Ties 12x12 pad

SB Decorative Labels 8

SB Labels 28

SB Matting Basics A

Crafters Companion sentiment

Bundled Sage DI

Yellow satin ribbon

Bling

Don't forget to pop over to House of Cards to check out the challenge.

Before I skidaddle, wasn't it great to see our John's fabulous cards alongside Sue Wilson's on C&C at the weekend? Well done John and well deserved. He's going to have a fab time demoing at Ally Pally this coming weekend.

Hope this is the start of a wonderful week for all of you.

Hobbycutz Challenge 58. . . . . . . . . . .Buttons Galore

Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well? Thank you for all your lovely comments on Anya's card.

Today's card is my Hobbycutz DT post for the latest challenge which is Buttons Galore as chosen by Elaine and our sponsor is All Dressed Up.

Now, most of you know, I'm not a fan of buttons on cards so this was a challenge for me, not least as I had to go button shopping again. I got these from work in the end so I now have a container full lol!

No sentiment as yet as I shall put it in my box for later use.

Ingredients

Cream card base cut to 6x6

Cream linen PMD card

Brown Lidl card

Hobbycutz lazer cut circle

Sissix square dies

SB Captivating Squares

SB Imperial embossing folder

Papermania Capsule buttons

Dovecraft bling

Hope you call all pop over to Hobbycutz and join in the challenge.

Had a super time on Friday meeting up with John for lunch. It was great to catch up in person rather than just by phone. He was looking toned and tanned and very well (That boy is too handsome!)

That's me for today.

Enjoy the Sun and be good.

Fisherman's Friend. . . . . . . .

Good morning Duckadees. Hope you have all had a splendid weekend. A great win for Lewis in the GP but really wish it had been Jenson Baby.

Firstly, welcome to The Pond to Mary Ellen. I have only just seen your name as a follower so will have to see if you too have a blog. Thanks for popping by and hope you will visit again soon.

Next, I have to say Janice, please don't age me prematurely lol. . . . . thanks for your best wishes for my 50th but its a good while off yet, which is why Mr D has time to save up!

And, Lesley, you need to start a blog with your cards chuck. For those who haven't seen it, pop over to John's blog to see a wonderful card, by Lesley, in John's gallery.

Now, today's card was made for a friend of ours who loves fishing. I'm usually not keen on doing blokes cards but I quite liked doing this one. Simple but hopefully stylish.
