I can't believe that it's ten days since I last posted on my blog. My hubby and I spent a lovely few days in London last week. The main reason for going was to see the ABBA Voyage concert, which was absolutely amazing and mind-blowing. If you get a chance to see it, I can highly recommend it.
Two cards today to join in with a few challenges.
The image is from Beccy's Place and is a freebie this month. You can find it here. There is also a pre-coloured version, but I decided to colour mine with Promarkers. The patterned paper is from a My Mind's Eye 'Something Wicked' paper pad I won over in The Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
My second card is a masculine card I can post on my blog now that I know it has been received.
I used a new Gemini stamp & die set 'Wishing you a happy BIRTHDAY'. The BIRTHDAY was die cut straight into a card blank. The patterned paper and red card was from my snippets drawer, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Playground. I punched a small red circle and added a white star brad to finish off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Finally, a few photos of our trip to London last week. (No photos of the Abba Voyage concert as cameras were banned.)

Two super cards as always and thanks for sharing some of your London photos, looks as if you were lucky with weather and the concert must have been amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and photos Liz, looks like you were lucky with the weather as well. One of our sons roomed in Little Venice when he was at Uni, a huge building close to the canal.
ReplyDeleteYour Allsorts card has a lovely clean crisp feel to in in those colours, many thanks for joining in.

Oh wow!! Great pictures of London - our most favorite city which we miss so very much. More than 25 years we went every year (often 2 times!) untill Covid came along...Since than it's on our wishlist again. Next week our daughter and her family are going there for 5 days (2nd time this year!).
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so very nice!

Two lovely cards Liz, the first one is too cute to spook :) and the second one is just perfect for a male.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you have had a fabulous time at London with the concert and your photos are amazing. I'm very impressed by the floor of Tower Bridge, I’d be scared to walk there and look down!! :O
I absolutely love this Halloween card, especially how you framed the pattern paper. The design on both cards is great. What stunning pictures you have. Wow, that picture of walking over the glass floor is awesome. Looks like a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fab trip you had! Thanks for sharing the photos! Brian and I love ABBA - that must have been an awesome concert! Your cards are adorable, especially the kitty. I'm glad you added a little mouth to the kitty and that's what I will do whenever I use this one.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute kitty in the pumpkin Liz, fun rather than scary which is definitely more to my taste..lol, and a wonderful masculine make using your new stamp and die and love the large 'Birthday' cut into the actual card and the wonderful papers in black and white contrasting beautifully with the red card. I'm glad you had a great time in London and enjoyed the concert, and some great photos...weather looks good too. x

Two great cards Liz! I especially like the Birthday card as I was scrabbling around for male card ideas the other day - and I have the very same pack of papers here, Love the photos of London - I used to visit at least once a yes when I lived in Northumberland. Never dreaming I'd end up working there for at least 10 years. Still a place I love - despite the horrors of commuting.
