Jam Jar Cards....

It's my turn to post over on the Craftwork Cards blog today, I decided to make as many cards as I could on one sunny day this week, using the new jam jar shaped cards, and I had such fun doing them, here are a couple for you to see, you can see the others HERE - I would love it if you could go over and see the others, and leave a comment if you have time

and here is a jar full of hugs! I cut a cross on the front of the card with a craft knife, then I was able to cut away the front, which I backed with acetate.....

I tried to make the hearts look as if they were tumbling about inside the jar, and piled them up a bit at the bottom. I added some sequins for sparkle...

I will post some more jam jar cards over the next couple of days, as I know some of you can't click on links from your phones

Sitting having my coffee today in the sunshine, two young women came and sat at the next table. I did my famous 'hide behind the sunglasses and pretend to be looking somewhere else' while I shamelessly eavesdropped on their conversation. They were laden with shopping bags and started pulling out their stuff to examine it. Apparently they had got a lot of bargains in the July sales, including the bikini top that one of them had snapped up for a pound, a bargain because the bikini was missing the bottom half apparently.   I was a bit bemused, I mean, I can understand some young thing snapping up a stray bikini bottom, all ready for those European topless beaches. But no bottom? The mind boggles. Perhaps there is a new European fashion that I haven't discovered - 'cover up ze top s'il vous plait mademoiselle, no, don't worry about ze derriere'.... If it is a new fashion, which I doubt, I think I will give it a miss, there is enough anguish in the world without me adding to it...

See you tomorrow x
