Unfortunately, the snow
did not miss us this time. So, we are having typical cold, snowy and windy January
weather. Our neighbour on the north of us has been using his snow blower to
clear our driveway for a few years now for a nominal fee, which is awesome.
Yesterday, the neighbour on the south side of us decided to clear our driveway.
It was nice of him but I had to explain that the other neighbour does it. He said
he needed the exercise and wanted to thank us for being good neighbours. He’s a
nice guy but a little hard to understand because he has a strong Jamaican accent.
We are blessed to have such good neighbours. Until he bought the house, it was
rented out to a variety of people, who were not good neighbours. But all is
well with both of them.
I had a friend ask me to
make her a 50th wedding anniversary card. I had the Big Bloom die set
on my desk so I used it again.
The background is shiny white paper and th
flowers are a specialty white paper which is really nice in wedding cards as
well as anniversary cards. I’m almost out of it though so I hope I can find
more.
The flowers and leaves are all gold and white
and I used the same method of flipping them over and using a large stylus to mold
the back and then flipped them over again and pushed down in the centre to really
give them dimension. I die cut some hearts and tiny circles from the same gold paper. There
are several shades of gold and they don’t always look nice together. The gold
die circle was from another die but I have no idea where I got if from. That is
one die and it cuts as shown. The centre is another piece of the same paper as
the flowers but it looks different because its flat. I had to audition several
circle dies to find one that fit perfectly behind the gold circles. The sentiment
is a gold peel-off. It needed something on the bottom to anchor it all so I added
a strip of gold. She loved it. Whew!
That is
all for Wednesday, January 15, 2025
