The One That Got Away. . . . . . . . .


Good morning paddling chums. Hope you are all well.

I'm busy at this end working extra days to cover my boss's holiday and its bloomin hard work, especially when a child pees on the shop floor and the Mother just drags it very quickly from the shop, without bothering to tell me. I was somewhat suspicious of the speed of exit so went to investigate at the back of the shop and found the offending puddle.

Accidents happen but to just clear off without telling me is out of order. . . . . . . . mind you, I'm assuming it was the child, perhaps it was the mother lol!!!

Now, today's offering is entitled so, as this was the card that I did as a sample for John's stamp shows but it couldn't go on telly as the die I had used for the flowers was not available on C&C at that time.

I tried to capture the sheen from the mica that I used on the panel. . . . . . . . 


Ingredients
White card
Orange card (Lidl)
Yellow card (Lidl)
John Lockwood's Daffodil Burst stamp 
HC Sunkissed Fleur die (for the daffodils)
SB Carnation Creations (leaf die only)
A Striplet outer edge die (to cut the recess the panel sits in)
TST Elegance mask (embossed under daffodil panel)
White embossing powder
Versamark 
Yellow and orange mica
Sentiment from John's Cherry Blossom set
Orange bling


Sorry that the embossing didn't show up very well on the top photo but you can see it better above.
Its a shame it didn't get its 15 minutes of fame lol!!!

Had a lovely time at CE Towers last Thursday with John and his ladies and was a very naughty girl as I bought 3 of Sue's new Christmas dies (Bad Duck!!!) I also bought a few other things (very bad Duck!!!).
Back there again on Thursday for one of Sue's demo sessions (repeat, I must not spend more, I must not spend more. . . . . .) They were originally 1 hour sessions but have been extended to 2 hours, yippeeeeeee!!! I have met Sue a couple of times socially but never seen her demo live so I'm so excited. Any of you ladies going?

Before I tootle off, I think it was Jane who asked about the difference between commenting and following. If you click on the followers button, my blog will appear on your reading list so when I publish a new post, it will appear on your reading list straightaway. Commenting just means you can leave a comment on anyones blog but you will have to look for updates yourself. Hope that makes sense. Also, when us bloggers have little giveaways for various milestones (like my 100 followers recently) it tends to be for followers only.

Well, that's me off to put my feet up (its Sunday evening and I'm scheduling) as I have done Friday, Saturday and today at work. Got today, as you're reading off then back at it again until Thursday so apologies if I fall behind with any comments again.

Hope you don't mind daffodils in June and that this week treats you kindly.

  4. Good to meet you at John's workshop last week. Saw you had been naughty in your purchases, but weren't we all? Don't think I will get to Sue's demos as I am a bit tied up on Thursday but you will have a great time. Been on a workshop with her in the past.

  9. Good morning Ang. Oh like Patricia it's not one of puddles you would want to paddle in. I have seen toddlersdo that and yes the offending child's mother just walks away, does make you wonder what home is like. Yes a " oh sorry " and do you have a mop and bucket I could borrow is all that's needed. That's one of the reason I am leaving work, new puppy arriving and they are very good at the puddle leaving and I am not mopping up after it. ( Time to retire any way)
    Love today's card, bright and cheerful. Yes it's a pity it missed the show, as to say.
    You will enjoy your 2 hours with Sue, she is lovely. To far for us to travel, but I kniw Patricia and I would have been there other wise. Enjoy your new dies.

  16. How very lucky of you to get to see Sue in action, what a treat that must be!! I was a bartender/waitress most of my adult life, pee is just one of the many excretions I had to deal with from people's wretched children, and for some reason the parents always tried to hide it. You think I don't know why all of the napkins are on the floor lady!!! DUH!!!

    Your card is so beautiful Ang, I love the inlaid panel, so pretty! The 3d flowers are lovely as well. A real eye catcher with the wonderful summery yellows! hugs :)

  23. Hi Ang
    I don't mind daffodils in June. This is a stunning card! I was intrigued to see the dies you used, as I have them and had never thought to use them in this way. Thank you for the tip. And how lucky are you with a visit to see Sue demo! Important research for your blog, of course! LOL. You will probably need another die for the same reason. And of course, you are setting the rest of us a good example... Have fun. Best wishes, Anne O

  24. Lovely, it's real splash of sunshine, and some of us could do with that this summer.
    It looks simple, yet there's lots of detail.
    Disgusting, how a Mum can leave someone else to clear up after them. What does that teach the kid.
    Cheers
