Facebook Live Replay 26th May 2020 (not great image quality. SORRY!) Possibly not the best heading for a Blog Post, Come and see this really bad video!!. But I have been told that it is actually not THAT bad. Not sure I agree, but fingers crossed. There is a reason, and it is a simple as I am trying to IMPROVE the recording of my Facebook Lives, so was trying out a Webcam. Let’s just leave it at, it has been returned and I am going to try a different one.

Beautiful Day – Wow That’s Bright!

I decided to use sets that were about to retire this week. So the first one is Beautiful You and a technique I came across by accident. Using Stampin Write Markers on Shimmery White Card allows you a bit of a blend! I am thinking this is because the card is able to take water, without really absorbing it. But whatever the reason, I love it! I went to town with the colours, especially Melon Mambo and Poppy Parade! Who would have thought they could work together. Amazing!

Music From The Heart – With Added Glimmer

The next card also uses Poppy Parade, but only as a pop on what is basically a Black & White card. I am so really sorry that this set is not carrying over, it is going to be one I will probably hang on to because I love it so much. I met my husband because of music, so it has always been a big thing in our lives. Many of our friends are people we have met through music. The added Glimmer I have referenced is some Crystal Effects on the heart in the middle of the Guitar/Treble Clef. It gives a raised shiny finish with a tiny amount of glitter.

Piece of Cake – Who Cares What the Question is…

Well what can I say. I am so sorry that not only is the stamp set going, but so is the punch, so there are no new cake stamps expected! This is such a versatile set which can be used for so many occasions. The card we made on Tuesday is very soft and pretty, but you could just as easily make it bright and popping. Just think of the card I shared yesterday that changed totally just because of the colour palette. I think what makes this card for me is the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. It just makes the whole card look ‘meant’.

Now if you are feeling strong enough, why not go and take a look at the video. Let it be said that the whole way through it some of those watching it told me that it was not great, but as the image I was seeing on my computer screen was perfect, I stupidly expected it to be perfect. So if for no other reason than to watch me being so determined that the problem was not at my end
