Scrappy Mo’s Snippetty Christmas Challenge + NBUS + WOYWW

Well, yes! we ARE into Rudolph Day AGAIN, at Scrappy Mo’s from 25th to 30th Sept. Here are my ultra quick upcycles!

Was (as you can see below) originally one whole card from last year’s Christmas cards, a handy topper! I just cut out two sections of a very busy card to make two more CAS cards.

This desk below was at the weekend and talking of desks it’s Desk Day, so come and please do share over WOYWW or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday at Julia’s Stamping Ground!

Love it when you can take some snippets, a white card base and come out with this (Snippets, yay! So off to the playground)!

These are both made with Stitched Circle Dies Memory Box, scallops are CCD. Verses are two digis from a set bought years ago. As Christmas is rocking in so quickly, I’d better get my skates on, and make some more. 🤔🙏

I’ve made other cards even though I’ve not blogged sorry! I’m okay, just going slower so blogging neglected. Here is one from last week.

It was for a very special young lady. I used my bargain Grand Calibur Spellbinder die set for the first time (so off to NBUS Challenge here, yay!) bought half price for base, it’s very nice, made a square insert frame with Sweet Poppy Double Stitched rectangular die set, largest die.

The Papertrey Quartrefoil die was used on both sides.

On the inside of the window, and the clear insert is a laminated sheet with glitter and sequins, etc. captured in between when laminating the sheet (aka Jennifer McGuire, see HERE!). Don't worry didn't cut it in there, was just checking size of window..

The image is Mo Manning image called “Between”, and the inside image is reversed with a tool on my Samsung photo gallery.

The inside section needed to be plain white where the image shows.

I did partial embossing (see image above: just add shape desired in centre, I used about five cardstock layers, and emboss with suitable sandwich for your machine). Just then have dots folder embossing in centre.

Added calligraphy greeting, and flower border. Pink, especially hot pink - which this was although looks purple, it is Emily’s favourite colour.

Next are some roses - the spring flush has arrived, this was one day's pick.

And some Clivia in flower.

A beach photo for those who need their beach fix 😃.

Many thanks for popping over for peek and chat I will endeavour to return visits. However, I'm continuing a bit of a break from blogging as only way I can manage at mo. I am well for me, but just tired a lot. Love and prayers for all of you, especially in the struggles in your life. I pray with you in all of your burdens. Prayer hugs, 🙏🤗

PS sorry formatting is mixed .. the new blogger changes as you go! Or not go in some cases.

Thought for the Day

I saw these and thought to share them with you as they cheered my heart.

I so need God's strength, I’d not be here by now if it were not for keeping saving power of my God and Saviour. He is there in those difficult long nights, those days when nought goes just the way you’d hoped. I may not see the Road ahead, but there is One Who walks before me on it, is with me as I go through it and is also as scripture puts it, my “rereward” too!

Isn’t that amazing? 
Jesus is fore and aft, and beside me all the way. No, never ever alone!
