Hello everyone,
I had to really think hard to what day it was when my eyes opened up this morning..really, really hard, I wanted it to be Sunday, but alas, it is Tuesday, so I had to get up, it is cleaning day at my sons.
At least once I'm up the spring is still in my step and I whip around get things done then come home to play..
Time for a ships wheel, cut three times and layered up..
The centers which I have added myself a note to
remind me they will be perfect with other dies too
when I need a small center..
and this die, really, but I did it and enjoyed it..
They were to go here...
I cut them...then glasses off nose on the table and glued these babies on..
Done!..and worth it, it's the little things.
Side opening card with a round opening this time..
or flap really.
Sorting papers, all those scraps too, I never want them to end..
My choices..
and to make the strip go further I cut thin strips to add on..
makes a difference and not hard to do.
The wheel went on to the front flap and gold stars were added here and there..
I think this is macrame cord that I tied into a square knot..
and added this beautiful quote inside..
a stamp from " Impression Obsession " red rubber Clingables.
The card closed and being gently held down by my pokey tool
as it wanted to pop open..
Standing up and a seagull flying high...
and propped open a bit and more seagulls..
So there you go..
All the cards are going out to the shop this morning.
so fingers crossed..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..
luv CHRISSYxx

Can't see this one being in the shop for very long Chrissy- it's sure to be snapped up immediately! It's a wonderful design, I love the wheel (and all it's details!) and the seagulls.

Brilliant nautical themed card Chrissy I am so amazed at the little things that you add to your design fab choice of papers a super ships wheel I also love the rope/knot down the side a super, super make.

You put together everything brilliantly. Those tiny dots on the wheel are gorgeous, as is the ropeknot.
A super make again, which will not be in store for long.

Gorgeous card, I have to say, the seagulls really make a difference. Love them!
What a stunning nautical card Chrissy! I love the ship wheel cut around the circle for the front opening! So clever! Oh those tiny little bits! You're so right about adding them and hats off to you for that! Really brilliant card design my friend!
so cool, I love the wheel and the layering behind it, having the birds inside is a neat touch and I love how you added the rope to it also!
No finger crossing needed. This one is as stunning as every other one Chrissy. I don't know where you get your energy from but I wish I had it!!
