Hello to you All. I have been playing AWOL for a week, but the truth be told I was finishing Molly's lace shawl. I had no inclination to make a card at all and the weather was so dark and dismal. However I managed to make a birthday card to-day, but found it difficult to get motivated. So its a card made up from dies and using Teal & White card I managed to create a card for a friends birthday later this month. I used SB Elegant Labels four along with a lovely heart die from Cheery Lynn called Lattice Hearts & Vines. Finished off with a sentiment and some pearls, ribbon and a tiny rose. I'm intending to start another card this evening as there is nothing I watch on television. My craft room too is in need of an overhaul and that is a job I'm not looking forward to. Got a phone call from my only brother this morning saying he is hoping to come over for a visit in July. He stays in Australia, so it would be wonderful to see him again. I hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend no matter what you are doing. Hugs Rita xxxx

Hello Rita, beautiful card, lovely colours and such an elegant design. Would love to see your shawl, hugs Kate X
Love this white & teal, and the super elegant dies you have shared on this beauty. I have the S/B and a similar heart die (Not CL though). I shall definitely be trying your design! Happy to hear that during the gloomy weather days, you've got something exciting to look forward to - a visit from your brother in the summer. Enjoy it. Hope you share the shawl too. Stay warm & cheerful. Hard to do when gray weather though. TFS & Hugs
Beautiful card, very elegant and stylish. Hugs, Valerie
This is lovely Rita and like Kate I would love to see your shawl! I'm struggling with motivating myself I think it's this awful weather and your right there is nothing good on tv tonight either, roll on Mr Selfridge tomorrow woohoo LOL. A visit from your brother will be so exciting:) I'm looking forward to the NEC in March meeting some more blogging friends. Lots of huggles Sue xxxx
Gorgeous Rita, love the colour, really pretty. Are you going to show us your shawl? I love lace knitting. I'm finding it a bit difficult to get motivated too. Maybe now that I've got a good (hopefully) internet connection again I'll be able to visit my favourite blogs more easily and also find challenges to enter. I usually spend Saturday evening watching stuff on Sky+ since there's nothing I want to watch on tv either.
Have a lovely weekend.

Good evening Rita, beautiful card, love all the wonderful Die work, colours and design.
Never managed to get the hang of the "nupps" on the shawl. Making a nice wrap instead...........!!!
Can just imagine the excitement in the house with news of your brothers visit.
Absolutely bucketing rain here, a night for the fire
Have a great weekend

I'm glad you battled your disinclination - I love this card. The teal and white combo is so fresh and pretty, and I love those intricate dies you've used. Very exciting about your brother's visit - and good luck with the crafty re-organisation (if you get that far!). Have a lovely Sunday tomorrow.

Oh Rita! This is beautiful! I do so love that colour and it makes a real impact on the white! Good luck with the craft room - it's always worth it in the end though! Chris
Hi Rita,
love this fab design of a creation. Great colours and dies used in this gem of a creation.
I agree nothing to watch tonight that interests me too.
How lovely a visit from your brother, I bet you can't wait for the summer now all the lovely weather and your brother to enjoy it with. Hopefully he will bring the lovely Aussie sun with him.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Gorgeous card Rita...love the design & colours...good luck with the craft room sort out...I done half of mine yesterday as I had no space left to craft... (lol) Hugs May x x x
This is stunning! I love all the die work and the heart is fantastic. Just gorgeous!
Oh Rita, this card is so very beautiful, I love the teal colour and the gorgeous die cuts. How wonderful that you will be having a visit from your Brother too. Best of luck with your craft room, I need to do mine too...... Hugs, Anne xx
It is so hard to get motivated when it's dark and miserable outside so I do sympathise Rita. This is beautiful though, especially with the use of that fabulous teal colour. Jenny x
I could never guess that you are not feeling motivated from viewing this beauty of a card. That teal colour is so very pretty.
How wonderful if your brother manages to visit, that will make for a very special Summer.
Wishes

What an amazing card Rita, you are such a wizzard with those dies!! It looks fabulous and I love the colour combo you have used! (I hope we will get to see the shawl too though). How lovely your brother might come over from Australia, I'm sure it will be a fantastic reunion!
Your white and teal looks fabulous Rita - and yes I understand about the dark and miserable weather we are having! Pretty grim here too. How lovely for you to see your brother - I have just arranged to see mine too after three years and he lives in the UK! I am sure you will find all manners of things when you start on the craft room - I did!!
Do show us the shawl!

A beautiful card, I love how you used the dies. Spring will come! We just have to wait a little longer. I would love to see the shawl.
I love how you use your dies and create such beautiful layered cards Rita, this is stunning. Can't wait for some brighter weather and to get rid of the rain. Roll on summer and you will then have that lovely visit from your brother.
