Vintage Greens

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Today I have another 'Vintage' style creation to share.
I have to say that I am not completely happy with this card but it's growing on me.

  I love all the papers, flowers and embellishments on this card, which are all from The Hobby House, I just feel that I have missed something. (The image is from a sheet of images that I picked up at a show but I can't remember the make.......sorry!).
Thank you for taking the time to pop by.
Have a lovely day.

Happy Birthday ~ Vintage Style & An Apology........

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Wouldn't you just know it......My weekend off work and someone has stolen the 'Sun', now isn't that just typical, but at least I couldn't use the sunshine as an excuse to avoid the housework.....mores the pity!!!!
First I would like to apologise to all my followers and friends out there in blog land for being a very bad blogger of late. I know I have lost a few of you along the way and I would like to 'Thank' those of you who have stuck with me no matter that I haven't always commented on your beautiful blogs and creations but I have had so much going on at home with one thing and another. Hopefully things are settling down now and I can get back to crafting and blogging and normal service will resume.
Today I have card to share. I made this for a friend who's birthday it was recently.

Most of the items I used to make this card are from The Hobby House from their Elegant Card Making Kit, the only other items I added were the gems also from The Hobby House and some die cut leaves.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~
Charisma Cardz ~ # 28 ~ Girly Lady Anne's Challenges ~ # 4 ~ Monochrome

Thank you for taking the time to drop by. 
Have a lovely Sunday.

Cameo

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I just wanted to share a quick card with you that I made with the scraps I had left over after completing another project. It's a very simple card and although I'm quite pleased with the effect I keep wanting to add 'something' to the bottom left hand corner......but I'm trying to resist the temptation..........

All the items I used can be found at The Hobby House except the sentiment which is a stamp from Hero Arts ~ Your History.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
Have a lovely day.
