So without further ado here is my effort.
A very simple creation this week made using a Marianne die, a Hobby Art sentiment and some ribbon from my stash. The white card is raised on sticky fixers and it was a real bugger trying to get the 'waste' piece between the bird's legs. Chrissie will no doubt admonish me for a floating branch, tee hee. I suppose I could have positioned the die so it was off the edge of the white card but birdy's tail would have been very near it too. Never mind eh, someone will like it I'm sure.
On a different subject altogether, I am pleased to report I have finished my decorating, Hurrah! It's taken me a fortnight on and off but I have done the entire ground floor of my house.
Yesterday I popped out to a jumble sale, such excitement I can tell you, as I last went to one in about 1975 when I was a Girl Guide. Seeing Vix's JS bargains spurred me on to find one in my area and I loved it. Alas no vintage finds but I purchased six items of clothing for the princely sum of £3!!! Most of it was for my 12 year old niece, who said 'Cool,Thanks!' and promptly donned one of the garments. (a shirt) Her mum said 'don't you want to wash it first?' but after a perfunctory sniff she decided it was clean enough and went off shopping in it.
Here are some of my recent chazza shop buys.

Glad to hear you're finished with the decorating Fiona which must be a huge relief.
ReplyDeleteLove that card and your aperture is a very clever one too, I'd never have thought of doing that with a die.
Your charity bargains look fab too.
Hugs, Fliss xx

I love that card, simple like me. I love the card you sent me too. Of course I have questions about it! The card blank, beautiful colour, what is it?
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment: sincere thanks, where's it from.
I'm guessing you have some sort of machine?
