"Here we are again, happy as can be, all good friends and jolly good company." I think it goes on to say something about never minding the weather but after that I am stuck and I haven't a clue what the song is or who sung it but I do know it is showing my age. (I've just looked it up and it was first brought out in 1931 but I like to think the version I am thinking of is by Alma Cogan in 2016. The first one would make me about 92 I think.)
Anyway, it is a pleasure on a Wednesday to share my desk with everyone at WOYWW. A really happy group of people with no recriminations as you get so often in so many groups, particularly comprising of ladies.
I did think I would have some birthday cards to show you but thankfully at our club on Saturday we made some cards with Lynne. It's always a good class with her as tutor, she puts so much work into the preparation and it pays off. Two different techniques using 3D folders were shown as you can see in the photo below.
You will notice the white one is slightly different to the other three. The central sprig of mistletoe was cut out with a matching die, another diecut image placed underneath it and then the two put back into the gap in the card. With putting the card back through the embossing folder it gave the 3D effect but then the central image was raised even higher.
There was one folder of Lynne's that I want, it had a matching die which she cut out in vellum and attached pearls to. It looked stunning and was a firm favourite of mine. That plus a village one but I must try my scene folder first before I buy. Spend spend spend. But can't wait for her to be tutoring again.
I don't know what I will be getting on with before I publish this, if anything, but maybe something can be added to to show I did something at home during the week. I've been too busy messing about with Minutes as I had a meeting to chair before the class last Saturday.
We've just had two new doors fitted and now the phone line is down, plus we had a guy came to fit a new track, at the same time as the door were being fitted, in our huge lounge window, so we need to get BT out to get reconnected but it looks like it's going to be Friday. Hopefully all will be sorted by the end of today.
Here are the pages I have done in my journal for Art Journal Journey from last week to today (I've provided the link in case you want to view some of the other entries, there are some really super ones. Hope that is ok with our Julia,):
That's all for now folks, toodle pip!
