Birthdays are Wonderful!


Hi, It's Allsorts Belated  Birthday Celebrations this week, the challenge has been running for 11 years!  Although I'm not a regular - I don't seem to enter many challenges lately - I didn't want to miss joining in with their theme  'I Love.....

I do love flowers,  I love embossing, I love this TH embossing folder and my new love, this AALL & Create background stamp and I love making inky backgrounds, so lots of I Loves.

A short post as the family have been over for lunch and coffees, before our area is put under new restrictions following a spike in Covid19 cases.  As part of the new restrictions we are not to socialise with other households, so we made the most of today.  As a family we have all been so careful, so it's very frustrating that due to the reckless actions of some irresponsible folk in the area, these measures need to be put in place.

Whatever you're doing, stay safe, Avril xx

Beautiful card. Glad you had a good day with your family, and made the most of it. Covid is on the up again, here, too. Some people just don't learn! Stay safe! Hugs, Valerie

You have made a really delicate and feminine floral card Avril, thank you so much for joining in with our 11th Birthday celebrations at Allsorts challenge.

Sorry you are back on restrictions but think it was inevitable when schools returned, we are avoiding it at the moment but sure it won't last.

Hi Avril, this is such a beautiful feminine design and gorgeous soft colours, I love the embossing and those gorgoeus flowers.
I am fed up with not being able to see my family properly, we were just starting to get together at home again and now this and your so right, all because some just won't listen, fingers crossed something changes before Christmas though, take care.xx

How very pretty Avril, I love the beautiful colours on this one and those die cut flowers are lovely. I'm sorry that it sounds like new restrictions are coming in to force for you - I think it will be quite bad over the winter. You take care of yourself and stay safe xxxxx

Glad you got to see your family before new restrictions come out. I think we need those here also as with school back numbers are inching up too fast. Love your card. It is really pretty with some gorgeous texture. Hugs-Erika

So very pretty!
When so do go out - I am amazed at the number of people that wear their masks below their nose. For some reason, this has become my latest pet peeve! I don't think that people mean to do this - they are just stupid. And you know what they say about stupid - I don't care how big of hammer one uses, you can't knock stupid out of stupid people. That was a stamp I saw someplace.

Such a pretty card, very much sharing your love of many many things. I can relate and stand back t ooo and arr at it all. Glad you managed to have a family day. We are in local lockdown again but i'm thankful to still be able to keep my extra time spent with my Mom due to our support bubble. A bonus today as it was her birthday. Wishing you and the family well, lets hope all this horror ends very soon Hugs Tracey xx
