Hi,
Well this was a fairly nice week for me.
I finished my 6 weeks Back-To-Work course
and I am looking forward to starting my new Training.
Scary though it may seem after all this time,
having to retrain and possibly start a new career.
And all this and I'm still not sure if my body can
physically take what I'm wanting to do but only time will tell
I guess, so fingers crossed please everyone.
Well I was treated this week to a date with my mister
(why do we never make more time for dating)
to the Cinema,
and yes we went to see THAT film.
Was very surprised that he actually enjoyed it,
and stated that the plot line was rather good
(and he wasn't referring to the Adult Content)
!!!!!!!!!
Well I'm off to spend some more quality time with my beloved
as he is finally off work for a bit after
12 solid days of work.
So I will leave you with this weeks
lovely Spring themed Project,
which I have again used a sketch.

Well I'm off to spend some more quality time with my beloved

So I will leave you with this weeks

which I have again used a sketch.

Dand E Lion Blooming Beauty Digi Stamp
from Lacy Sunshine
(our sponsor)
(stash)
On to this I place a 13cm Square of
Dandelion Wrapping Paper
(Emily Burmingham).
Next I cut a 10.5cm Square of
Mustard Yellow Card
(stash)
which I cut diagonally in half.
And also a 7.5 x 8.5cm Rectangle of
Apple Green Card
(stash)
For all of the Corners I used a 5mm Corner Punch
(X-Cut)
to round them off.
Using the Mustard Yellow Card again
I Diecut out the Oval Flower Frame
from the A5 Trims Border Set
(X-Cut XCU503057)

I then cut it out using the insert
of the Oval Flower Frame Die.
I wrapped a Green/Silver Ribbon around the Card
(Boyes Haberdashery)
under the Apple Green Rectangle.
For my Flowers I handmade them,
I remember seeing a video on You-Tube ages ago
(sorry I can't remember which one).
I used White Crepe Paper
and coloured it with my Promarkers.
Here are the Basic Instructions,
A 2 x 1 inch rectangle
(coloured with Gold)
A 10 x 1 inch Rectangle
(coloured Yellow + Gold)
A 8 x 1 inch Rectangle
(coloured Pear Green)
A 20 x 1 inch Rectangle
(left White)
A 3 inch length of Green Flower Wire.
First I folded the 2 inch Gold Rectangle lengthways
by a third and cut on the folded area,
then wrapped it around the Wire
Next I made wider cuts all along the
10 inch Yellow Rectangle then
wrapped this around the Wire over the Gold Paper.
(this makes the Flower)
For the Leaves I folded the Green in half to make
4 x 1 inch which will give you 2 Leaves.
Then folded in half the other way,
then cut out a Dandelion Leaf Shape.
To make the Seed Head I cut all along both sides of the
20 inches then folded it 0.5 inch wide
concertina style.
when all folded I wrapped a piece of wire around the middle
of the paper and just fluffed all the cut edges out.

And to finish off I used Holographic White Fluffy Glitter
(stash)
on the Dandelion Seed Heads
to give them a bit of dimension.
And round the Edge of the White Card
I ran the Gold Promarker Pen.
