I'm Back...

 

Happy Greetings,

Realized I hadn't posted my CCC card before I left for London, so two posts in a row. Getting old. Did you know I am in my 80's?

Did you know my daughter took me on a trip to London for eight days? We are back!

What was my favorite thing we did in London? Riding the London Eye. So much fun. See the picture below that was taken by my daughter.

We went near sunset hoping to see that, but it was raining. But how fun it was pink. The pod capules to hold us were quite big, holding maybe 30 people. They look black in this picutre. 

The ride took about 1/2 hour and we could see so much of the London area including the river. Loved every moment of the ride.

I cought a nasty cold on the way back, so will stop for now. Hope you all are well and happily crafting.

Hugs from back in cold Minnesota.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.

First Card in 2025

Hello Again,

My Card Chain Challenge submission is on the way to Gail in Norway. I used the color suggestion this month using colors I have that match the best. 

It was fun trying to come up with an idea for Gail, our coordinator. Hope she likes the card. What do you think?

The cardbase is SU Pecan Pie. For a monochromatic background, I inked up a wonderful NBUS stamp to me from PTI called Weaved Background. It is on sale currently.

Next I searched through my many, many floral stamps for just the right flower that had a matching die. Found retired Irrestible Blooms also SU that fit the bill. Used a oldie but goodie ink called Orchard Opulence for the flowers along with Garden Green for the leaves. 

I kept my front greeting simple. Then I stamped inside (on white cardstock) the phrase "I couldn't be happier to have you as my friend" from the same stamp set above. 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again. Won't be back for a while, off to London!
