Abstract!

Hi Everyone, something different for me, hubby loved the cards, me I'm not sure if they needed something else on them. However, the centre digital die is fabulous and I had it as a freebie, told you I'm a cheap crafter!

Anyhow, I took a paper pad which I thought generic and cut 4 of the dies on my Silhouette with the background. You look at the last photo and think there are only 3 there? Well I have to admit to using an old mat and the paper moved spoiling the last cut! Mmm lesson learned (perhaps) use a better mat next time! 

I glued 3 layers of the top and one of the under black layer, together and placed them onto the paper, I cut them out of. I think they are called shadow cards? I love the effect of the paper and the sentiment matching. I added some sparkle pen to the sentiment, shame you can't see it.

I have a poem, this time I DO know the author, it's my SiL's sister.

Gillian Reed, who also is an author of books.

Gill's life in Lockdown

We all went into lockdown. I thought, “Well, this is great,

I’ll take the opportunity, to lose a little weight.”

I can’t get any flour, I can no longer bake,

No calories to count from my favourite chocolate cake.

I’ll get myself a smart watch and exercise with verve,

An hours daily walking – I’ll soon get back my curve.

The holidays are cancelled – no need to over-eat,

I’ll clear out all my cupboards to make sure there’s nothing sweet.

I’ve now stepped up the exercise, fish and chips is just a dream,

Ten thousand steps (and more) each day, I haven’t touched ice-cream.

I ventured on the scales today, I thought that all was fine,

OMG! My weight’s gone up, Damn! It must have been the wine.
