A present for you

 Good morning world,

Hmmm, a mixed bag this morning.  Went to bed too late for these old bones and so this morning it's been a bit hit and miss so far due to wandering around only half awake!

Definitely hit and miss with cards at the moment.  Today's card I mostly liked, but was a begger to take a pic of. I saw a 'no squares' challenge at my old stomping ground Sweet Stampin' Challenge and decided to give it a go with an easel card.  Been so long, I had to dig out an old card to use as a template as I couldn't remember how to make them.

I used:

Image -  Stamping Bella - Posh has a present stamp (which I probably got from Dies to Die For (as I was a big shopper there back in the day) but am not sure).

Coloured with Copics - as always. A little bit of stickles glitter glue on the bag as well.

Sentiment -  Lili of the Valley - mine is a clear stamp not a digi.  Looks like they don't do rubber at all anymore.  Am well out of  the loop!

Dies - Go-Kreate for the card shape and Impression Obsession for the bows.

Everything else came from very old supplies.

Now to go off piste.  In addition to making cards I bake - my specialities being cakes, cookies, pastries and bread.  So, before 10am, I've already re-heated a choc au pain (for TTT's breakfast) and made a couple of sourdough loaves but, because of the aforesaid brain fog, the first one went in the oven on a cold baking stone - not a good idea - at too high a temperature and had to be scraped off the stone at end of time. The second loaf I wasn't sure about at all, as it's an experimental recipe and I'm not sure it worked.

Photographic evidence:

Proof is in the eating - as the saying goes!  I will report back in due course.

Have the best day you can, everyone.

Signing off,

Sarah
