Hello and good evening
Well I said I'd be back if I got my housework finished and here I am...
my dear hubby has just returned to work today after bad health problems and although I've missed him (and I have) it has been nice to return to normality and turn the house upside down cleaning!
He's a lovely hubby ♥, I love him to bits and he's very helpful too but you must know what it's like ladies you just want to clean like mad when they are not in...I have hoovered, mopped, dusted, washed and even ironed...in fact in the right light you can see the house sparkle from down the street lol
Right my card...
it's Rebecca this time, I adore these images I really do.
Close up of the flowers, holly & charm
I made this card using papers from the Rosewood pad again
I used the icy mesh lace
all flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts
charm from ebay
pearls are Kort & Godt
and the gorgeous glitter snowflake is from Michaels

ReplyDeleteTeresa I have one of those husbands who suddenly gets really annoyed when you are out for the day, its starts to rain and he turns to you and says.... "Damn it the washing is getting wet. I knew I should have brought it in but I thought it was such a good drying day, that I'd get away with it"!! Yeap....thats my husband! He's handier than a Swiss Army Knife, lol. Your card is really beautiful Teresa, I love your colouring, its so incredibly professional. Im still at the stage where Im sitting at my desk with an image with my tongue stuck out the side of my gob trying to stay within the lines of my image. And if I manage that, I think Ive achieved Artisthood! lol. Stunning card as always Teresa. Lee x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Teresa - love the beautiful blues. I chuckled at your tale of housework ... it's a story that's all too familiar. Glad to hear your DH has now recovered though :) Elizabeth x

Oh my Teresa, you've been so BUSY! So much stash from the States too (I LOVE those snowflakes from Michaels and the gingerbread men and candy canes too, yummo!) This is another gorgeous card, you can take this comment and apply it to all the cards I just looked at: It's your attention to detail that grabs me every time. I love the new Sugar Nellie Victoria (last card, I think) gotta grab that one, and this is gorgeous too - how do I choose? lol. Re your husband been home, I'm with ya girl; they never want you to do the housework when they're around (but like a nice clean house!)and can't see that if they are "around" a lot, you're going to HAVE to do it when they're there. A taste of retirement perhaps, "Retirement= twice as much husband and half as much money" Donna
