Of course by Monday evening when I've emptied his suitcase and sorted through all his dirty washing I'll be trying to remember why I missed him in the first place!
But the upside to no hubby is I've had much less washing and ironing - until he comes home of course - less cleaning and less cooking, which mean more playtime yay!
Unfortunately I can't show these cards just now, but here's one I made last week to send to my buddy Gayle for her wedding anniversary.
DP is one of my favourite pads, Basic Grey Wisteria, I just wish I hadn't used the really dark purple one, far too dark in my opinion. A few pearls and nowt else.
I probably won't have the time to do any commenting tomorrow as I'm going to see my friend Linda after work, which also means I'll no doubt be feeling fragile on Thursday!
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xx

ReplyDeleteWOW....this is stunning! Your colouring is amazing & I love the way you have done the white edge and the soft lilac around the image. I think the dark purple is a great background for your image, it makes it really 'pop' out.

Hi elaine how lovely is this card and as for hubby yes i know what you meancause when chris (son ) isnt here there just doesnt seem any washing so not sad and he is lucky to be missed. Have a good night.
ReplyDeleteElaine your card is gorgeous, it's not too dark hun. Your colouring is beautiful, if you are bored after the hangover you could always do us a tutorial, I'm sure everyone else will want it too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your peace hun and have a great evening with Linda

Hi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't make you sad missing your hubby - just normal :-)
Gorgeous card and I like the dark purples I have to say. Great image and like you say really useful!
love Kerry xxx
Oh this is so gorgeous! I think I might have to order that stamp.. My mom said she would pay for some LOTV stamps as long as I get som eboy stamps and make her som cards.. (boys cards are so hard making!!)
ReplyDeleteMy husband (he told me yesterday that I was not to call him hubby on the net, he thinks it sounds weird) I think I might get to order a new bug, but I might need to wait a moth or so, want a blue one though.. or a pink.. and they don't have those here in norway :( Well I'm supposed to get a new phone this month when it's released. Been waiting for it since may and talking about getting a new phone all year so I think october is a good bug month..
Gorgeous colouring, gorgeous creation. Fab design.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting

What a cute card. I just got my first sets of LOTV and I am totally in love with them! Your cards are adoreable....we say in America to have a drink of the "Dog that bit you"!
ReplyDeleteI think the dark colours look quite sophisticated but love that paper and this image is on my wish list, I do plan on getting some lotv stamps but am having such a hard time choosing which to spend my birthday pennies on. I think this image is definitely on the list. Hope you have a good time with your friend and don't feel too fragile.

Perfectly OK to miss DH as long as one makes the best of the ME-time as well. =0)
ReplyDeleteAnd you do as far as I can tell - lovely card and a girls night out as well - hope you're OK. I typed this comments ever so gently to make less noise. GIGGLE...
Hi Elaine
ReplyDeletelove your card, and I bet Gayle & her hubby will too. And as for you being mad,sad or insane you are none of these, we all miss our husband/partners/other half, when they are not there. I hope you have a good night out at Linda's, and hopefully you don't have too bad a hangover on Thursday lol.
hugs

Hi Elaine!
ReplyDeleteDont worry about the purple being too dark I think it looks fabulous. A really nice contrast with the other papers and that gorgeous colouring of yours!
Congrats on making it to the Sugar Nellie DT ontop of the Sugar bowl one! I know how much you like your Sugar Rubbah!
Catch you soon

Hope you're not too fragile by the time you read this - good timing with your news too. I love these purples & the image is a real treat, the brilliant bit about those dark papers is that they highlight the pearls even more......

ReplyDeleteHave just sat drinking in all the colouring & the richness of the layers & textures & I could feel that kind of thrilling delight welling up inside me........ no, I've not gone mad, I know this is my second comment but I just had to come back & have another look & then I saw more........
ReplyDeleteHope you're OK & got some sleep after your late night.
