Hi there bloggies!
I managed to find some time to pop by my fav blogs yesterday … but no stamping … again! I was getting withdrawals … and so when Sandy asked if Skye could take he & his mate down to the tennis courts today … I thought YIPPEE! 
Stamping time!!! 
Then I got distracted looking for a gift online for my b-i-l’s b’day … and after an hour I gave up! My stamps were calling me!

I have been over on a couple of the Inkspirations DT blogs … and just loved the last two challenges that Makeesha had given us … and even though I have missed the deadline for BOTH … I thought I would combine the two together and make a card for a special friend.
I am keen to get over to the INKspirations 4U! website (It is hard not to confuse Madeline’s group with Keesh’s Inkspirations challenges … but … these are two totally different groups! ) I can’t wait to work on a few of the new projects that have been posted … there are some wonderful ideas over at INK4U! So … I do hope to be back tomorrow with a project to show you!
And … I just wanted to remind you all … SALE-A-BRATION is here!
My workshops are “on hold” at the moment … due to some family commitments & responsibilities that are occupying much of my time … BUT … I am happy to take orders or talk to you about joining SU! Make sure you click on the pic above to see the adorable FREE stamp sets that are available with a $100 order. Have a great day! Hugs xxaxx
I love how you’ve joined both of the challenges. Your card turned out beautifully!! Sadly, I missed this weeks deadline to enter too. So disappointed.
Andrea adds: We must have been visiting each other’s blogs at the same time … without realising it … cos I left a similar comment on yours! Hugs xxaxx
Fab card!! Love the jewels along the ribbon and how neat you’ve made that heart border!!
This was my 3rd!!! Giggle! Sssshhh … don’t tell anyone, okay??? Thanks for popping by! Hugs xxaxx
Andrea adds: If only you knew how many attempts I had at that border! LOL!
Wow! What a shame you missed the deadline again. I really love the way you have used the border punch with full borders and then only one side. It matches in so well!
TFS
Cheers
Sonia
Andrea adds: You always manage to notice the little details, Sonia! Even though I missed the deadline … it was fun combining the two challenges! Lots of inspiration to work with! Are you home??? Hugs xxaxx
Not home yet! A few more days… am looking forward to seeing hubby again!
(Now I am showing my age!) xxaxx
Andrea adds: What do they say???? Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
Love the card, colour and details.Beautiful.
Betty Boo
Andrea adds: Thanks Betty Boo! I had to smile at your name! How fun! Hugs xxaxx
This is a lovely card. The folded ribbbon adds just the right touch. I also love the offset embossing on the white mat in the back. Your friend will be blessed to receive such a gorgeous creation.
Hugs xxaxx
Andrea adds: Thanks for noticing all the small details! It put a smile on my face!
Another luscious Lowcock creation darl’n!! I totallyhear you on the NO STAMPING thing…sadly I am not allowed to craft for ANOTHER week!!!! You know you had me with this card when I saw VV. The pinking hearts add such a FAB edge!! (They are both on my SAB wishlist…LOL). Fab card darl…LOVE it. I am off to sketch and punch since I can’t stamp….least it feels Like I am doing SOMETHING…LOL!!! Take care of you. ooxx
Andrea adds: Sketching I get … but “punching”????? HHHmmm … great visuals, hunny! Hope you can enjoy a relax … and look after yourself … until you are able to get back to your stamping! Hugs xxaxx
If I punch out bits and put them together….I am still creating…and keeping that part of my brain active….it shivels so easily sometimes and the mojo flees quickly. Will take card……..sanity needs a paaded cell…..LOL!! ooxx
Hugs xxaxx
Andrea adds: LOL … I think the brain was working faster than the fingers here! I could have corrected your mistakes … but it is much more fun to giggle at them!
So glad that I can provide a ray of sunshine in ur beautifully spelt day!!! Yes the brain does fire off….randomly and with gay abandon…but as long as there are smiles…then I am a happy gal!!! ooxx
Hugs xxaxx
Andrea adds: Then … you should be a happy gal … every day … cos there are always lots of smiles here!
This is gorgeous, Andrea. Another one I have to case!!!!!
Hugs xxaxx
Andrea adds: Thanks Julie! It was a return to vintage Andrea!
Hi Andrea,
This is such a pretty card. Wasn’t it a pretty colour combo. Pity I haven’t had time to play. Thanks for your comment on my blog. We have been crazy busy at work (though my last week was blissfully quiet, and boy, did we need it!) and I was a bit unwell, had a weird tummy thing, then was crazy tired for the next 2 weeks, then on Tues all my upper back muscles spasmed (while drying my hair ????) and have been stiff and sore since. Today is best I’ve felt in 2 weeks. Need to stamp desperately so planning that for today. Just starting with some blurfing to get inspired
have a fabbo week,
Love Fi xox
Andrea adds: Hope you managed to get some stamping done. My prob … I start blurfing … and get so distracted that I don’t get to the stamping! Hope you continue to pick up after your recent probs. Praying for you! Hugs xxaxx
I always love what you do with this stamp set Andrea, and this card is just lovely. Such a shame you missed the deadlines, but great you could still play. I love the subtle background on the pink, and your great use of the border punch. Very cute ribbon detail as well.
I am a goober … but all my intentions don’t always go to plan. Now that school is back perhaps I can be a little more organised! hugs xxaxx
Xox
Andrea adds: Thanks Lee-Anne! Yes …
Another gorgeous card, and I do love that set, must get it out more often I think, love the ribbon, looks fab! hugs Melissa
Andrea adds: Thanks Mel. It was nice get such lovely feedback! Hugs xxaxx
Very pretty. Your friend will love it!
Andrea adds: Oooh! That just reminded me … I have to post it! Thanks Jane! And … thanks so much for visiting! It is lovely to have you pop by! Hugs xxaxx
