And last week I was stunned to receive a package out of the blue through the post from Hunkydory, I'd only gone and won a load of goodies from Quick Cards Made Easy magazine :)
It was everything from their 'Shimmering Watercolours' range, tons of card stock, toppers, inserts, ribbons - and even a load of sticky pads - the list is too long to go through.
So, I just made this little card:
It just explodes with flowers! Not brilliantly made and I've since done some trimming but I was like a kid with a new toy wanting to try the technique out :)
And the card I'd sent into QCME? It was this 'snippets' Bargello one from Week 64 in the Playground:
Just goes to show, if you don't enter then you're not in with a chance.

Glad you both had a good time a nabbed some bargains - I reckon the parrot is from Cathy's place - it would be a galah though... LOL... Mxx
ReplyDeleteah so glad me parrot arrived - actually he really is a rainbow lorikeet, y'know..
ReplyDelete..an' Miss, make sure you feed him well, he loves grevillea nectar - a f'vrit, but if not growing in your garden a seed mix would suffice, Miss :D
oo-arr! the day with Mrs A was fun, cant believe how good she was...
and with the tongue out of my cheek - really well done on your win both cards are wonderful creations. love Shaz in Oz.x
It sounds like you enjoyed your day! How lovely to have such a parcel waiting for you too. That's an amazing card. Was it a kit in with your winnings? I love the Hunkydory stuff, but it is too heavyweight for International posting, so I keep it for local cards. Kate x
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great day with lots of lovely bargains! Well done you for winnning a prize and the card you've made with it is stunning. You'll be pleased to know the FOURTH repair man has finally mended the washing machine and I have lots of clean clothes blowing nicely in the breeze. Might find time now to play!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Di - it's a gorgeous card. Sounds like Newbury was a lot of fun too Karen x
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time with Mrs A. congrats on your win and what a gorgeous card you made.

Sounds like you pair had fun and picked up lots of good bargains.

Well, well, well what a fabulous way to pull you from your sad times, a day out with Mrs A, would certainly take your mind off other things and the fabulous parcel arriving out of the blue, and what a fantastic card you have made with it.
ReplyDeleteI said that card was a stunner, very well done indeed.
As for the parrot, the playground seems to have more animals than London Zoo, well there are plenty of cheeky monkeys in the playground.
I hope someone is going to teach it to say "pretty pixie, pretty pixie"

Ooo lovely goodies... and glad you had a good time at Newbury... and avoided being arrested or similar! Sorry been awol for SUCH a long time - never enough time at the mo... but promise to try and do something this week.... or next....LOL. xxx
ReplyDeleteOooo! Gorgeous and fiddly card there Miss. Like it though and I can see a small scrapbook in that!
ReplyDeleteAh so the parrot is from down under then!! I am surprised Shaz sent it packing to us!!
I am glad Mrs A behaved well yesterday! Not jealous of your bargains not!!
Hugs

That sounds like fun! Congratulations on the win, Di. I love that little flower card. Clever you, it looks a bit complicated. All pink and glittery! Dee xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you kept Mrs. A from any major damage! I know you had a wonderful time together. I think I could hear the two of you giggling all the way over here! Congratulations on your win and what an amazing card you created. I love how it burst forth when opened! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you both had lots of fun Di, your card is amazing so inspiring xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to bring some sunshine back to you, Di! And to get that incredible surprise package - your exploding flower make is nothing short of spectacular! - to top it off is just wonderful! I'm not at all surprised that your card (which became one of my favorite cards of yours when I saw it before) was picked as a winner!!
ReplyDeleteI am a little surprised, however, that I got away with depositing Polly (sorry, I save my originality for my cards!) in the Playground, and blaming Bonnie for it, and now seeing as how Shaz raised her hand and took the blame from Bonnie, well ... whew! How about that!
Now that means when Polly gets her feathers ruffled and lets you know the full extent of her speech capabilities, twon't be me on the naughty step!!
tee-hee
Hi there, Di, I'm catching up again - can't stay in for long when the sun is shining :) Sounds like Newbury was a blast, not literally but figuratively of course, and what a great idea to split the topper packs too.
ReplyDeleteLove your bursting flower card - it's gorgeous - and well done on the win - does that mean your card will be featured in a future issue of the magazine? If so, I'll look out for it.
As for the parrot, it wisnae me! Had a bad experience with my late MIL's grey many years ago and still haven't recovered :(
Hugs, Elizabeth xx
