Lucky escape

Today my husband had a lucky escape but someone else wasn't so lucky. This morning a car pulled out of a junction and drove straight into the side of the car in front of him. The car that was hit went onto the other side of the road, rode up a bank and was flipped onto its roof. We hope the driver makes a rapid recovery. One phrase went straight into my head when my husband phoned me; "there but for the grace of God goeth I". Perhaps this is another reminder to live each day to the full as you don't know what may happen tomorrow.


Moving on. I promised a show and tell of this weeks craft projects so here they are. I made (and finished) three cards. The cards involve stamping, colouring with Copic Ciaos and die cutting. They feature three of my favourite stamp companies and are all fairly straightforward to make.

Magnolia Bon Voyage Indian Tilda

Gorjuss Balloon Girl

Lavinia Stamps Small Pixies with a variety
of foliage stamps for the border

I've got a bit to learn about how to photograph cards but I'm pleased with the cards themselves. They are my style rather than a copy of what someone else has designed, and I would feel happy to give them to someone for a special occasion.

I'm now deciding what to make for the next project, so until next time
