Hi to everyone, hope you are all well.
Felt a bit sad today when I logged in, yesterday I had 90 followers and had a smiley face, today I have 89 and a sad face, hope I haven't upset anyone! Come on people let's try to get to 100 and we can do the candy thing to celebrate.
Well the weather here is shocking. It was torrential rain on Thursday evening that flooded my garden and I live on the top of the hill, gawd knows what it was like lower down. And it has rained since, then the wind came and low and behold blew down my Laburnum tree in the front garden. Hubby had to go out with a rope and try to anchor it to the lamp post by our gate so it wouldn't blow into next doors garden poor soul, he nearly blew away himself. He looked like a drowned rat when he came in. Good job he's no hair it would have spoiled it ( ha ha ) Thought this was supposed to be SUMMER
I have used a Bildmarnia stamp for the card I am sharing with you today. I quite like these stamps and have just bought some on ebay from a fellow crafter so you will be seeing some more.
Happy crafting all.
Recipe.
Bildmarnia stamp coloured with copics, pro-markers and polychromos. I distressed around the edges.
The papers are Prima Pixie Glen collection bought from My crafty Heart, fab shop ladies, check it out.
Magnolia doohickey tag and added gingham ribbon
The jewel strip I bought at Country baskets
Flowers WOC and others
and of course glitter, who can make a card without glitter?

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I don't think you should worry about the follower, they sometimes just return, I think it's a glitch. If not it's their loss!!

Don't worry Sue it's their loss!!!. This happened to me the other day so there may be a glitch on Blogger as the next day I either had a new follower or it had rectified. Putcha smiley face back on girl!!!. Don't lose sleep over it as you are an amazing crafter. Look at all of your beautiful work and all these lovely comments are testament to that. Big hugs Clare xxx

I love your blog, first time here. You have similar taste to what I love so I will be visiting often. I have the same problem, I just can't get to 100 and the followers are very slowly getting there. I do enjoy blogging and making friends. I will follow you so you can get that one back. LOL
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely and beautiful card! Love all of the details in it and again your coloring rocks. Don't worry about the numbers changing in blogger...it's probably not that anyone left...it's blogger itself that messes with the numbers. Kind of like sometimes blogs don't show up in your reader one day and then the next day they're back. Strange
ReplyDeleteShelby
so beautiful. Love the colour combo and the image is so sweet
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for joining us at Sweet Stampin' this week

Hi Sue, I was so thrilled to see you have stopped by my Blog and thanks for the lovely comment. Welcome as my new follower too. What a lovely card this is and in fact what a lovely Blog you have. It seems we have a lot in common, how good is that! And you managed to get those lovely stamps too! Who would have thought that a little message on Ebay could lead to this! I am thrilled to bits Judy x
