Good morning lovely peeps!
It's been a busy few days as my sisters & I have begun the sad task of starting to sort through my mum & Tony's belongings.
Although it has been really sad at times we have also been laughing loads at some of the things we have found like our old school reports, & photographs we hoped would never see the light of day again they are that embarrassing lol.
Today I have two totally different style cards to share with you :)

One layer, eeeeeeeeek!
I hate this card lol. I've only just about got my head around CAS cards but one layer has caused me to almost have a total melt down lol. It's seems kind of something & nothing to me with no pretty papers or embossed backgrounds & creating it caused much sighing from me as this theme certainly did what it's supposed to & challenge me!
I've used Simon's Custom Copic Friendly card stock for this card and it was lovely to colour on. I still can't believe I actually coloured on my card blank & my copics didn't bleed through the inside either so it's a thumbs up for me using this card stock :)

Now I'm going to breathe again and show you a much more "Mandy card" which is one I created a little while ago & discovered this morning saved in a draft post & realised I've never blogged it!
I love this Magnolia Flower Cart stamp, it's so pretty.
This card was created for a custom order & I sometimes find it's difficult to create a card specifically for a lady who I don't know & when I asked her husband a few questions to point me in the right direction of creating a card she would like, here's how "helpful" he was! -

Q - What colours does Sandra like?
A - Anything I think! You choose!
Q - Would you like an image / picture as a focal point?
A - If you like!
Q - If I use an image would Sandra like flowers, animals, or people?
A - Yes, any of them sound nice!
Q - Would Sandra like lots of pretty embellishments to make it really feminine like roses, butterflies, ribbons, pearls, lace etc, or would she prefer something less fussy?
A - I'm not sure, what do you think?????
Q - What sentiment would you like? Just a standard birthday greeting or would you like Sandra's name on the front of the card, or wife, or both?
A - I'll leave you to decide!
Q - Would you mind if I stick pins in your eyes or shall I decide for you?
A - What! What have I done?
Men! Hahaha.

We are having a break from house clearing today, hubs has had his shopping fix to keep him happy as we've been an done our monthly grocery shop this morning, so I am hoping I get a few uninterrupted hours to catch up with blogging friends & play in my craft room. I am now itching to make a "proper" card as so far this year I have only made two cards & they were both really quick & easy, so I am going to dust off a Tilda, pretty papers, lace & flowers & play, play, play :)
Thanks for stopping by
