Hello all, me again!! While I am not able to get in the saddle or do horsey things I am, however, able to craft and blog so, here is today's offering.
A New Home Card for our youngest and his Girlfriend who have just bought their first home together.
I should just point out that I was NOT drunk when I took this photograph...honestly!! If you tip your head to the right a bit it will look so much better!! The little house is actually Holiday House from Elizabeth Craft Designs and I used coloured cardstock so that it looks a bit like their new home. The strip of flowers is washi tape that came free with a magazine many moons ago, I always knew it would come in useful sometime!! Sound familiar? The sentiment is a collaboration of stamp and dies.
They moved in the weekend before last after a lengthy wait actually, as their offer was accepted way back in early January. It's a new conversion so no chain either, a delay in searches was the excuse. Still, they are in and getting things ship shape. We, on the other hand, have a very quiet house and Bowie and Bumble are eyeing up the now empty room!! We are expecting a massive reduction in our electricity usage though as he'd been working from home !
If you are still with me Thank you, it's always lovely to have visitors.
See you soon xx

That’s fab, so colourful. Love the house
Fabulous card Sarah, glad you are still able to craft and hope you'll soon be back in the saddle!
I bet your place will be quiet, we moved and left the youngest behind as he was going nowhere fast!! Mind he has transformed the old homestead since. :)
Wonderful card to celebrate this big new adventure for your youngest! The empty rooms fill up quickly...The bright colors are so nice and the strip of washi a brilliant addition. Thank you for joining the challenge at Allsorts this week.
Your New Home card is a beauty Sarah,love the house and your floral washi tape
Sitting here with my head tilted and I must say this is adorable Sarah, I love the die cuts and cut into the colours you wanted and love your card design..awesome..

Such a wonderful new home card, Sarah! Just love the colors on the house on the washi behind! Thanks for sharing at NBUS!! Linda, May Guest Designer
Congratulations to the young couple! Buying a new home is a huge milestone, but I'm sure you all miss them - not everything, lol! Your card is a beautiful keepsake for them, Sarah! I'm glad you are able to keep crafty and I thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Clearly I missed a post so just scrolled back, ouch and rest those buttocks Sarah.
A great New Home card, I think solicitors are all the same, Anysia and Sam are going through the very same. Not helped by one seller pulling out the day before contracts.
Many thanks for joining us at Allsorts challenge this week.

Hi Sarah,
I strted to comment last night and suddenly got the shivers abd couldn't stop so I put my self to bed with some parracetmol tablets and am fine now.
I love your wonderful new home card for your youngest.
Congrats to them on owning their new home.
A brilliant die cut house and the washi tape was a great idea.
I'm sure some craft items will venture into your empty room I'm sure.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Love the design with a gorgeous house. A perfect card Sarah,
for the happy couple.
Does feel strange when you get a spare room!! Soon filled mine into my craft room!!
Hugs, Carol S.xxx
Well wasn't that washi tape just perfect for your pretty house! Bet your son is so excited to be in their new home at last, sometimes you do wonder what the hold up with solicitors is!
A lovely, bright and cheerful new home card Sarah, a super design.
I hope you are soon able to get back in the saddle.

Fab card Sarah I hope you're recovering well and great news about your Son and his girlfriend..all the excitement of a new house...hugs Sue x
I had to go back to see why were not feeling yourself. A tumble is no fun and I feel hurt more and more as you get older. I hope you're feeling lots better. Crafting is definitely an awesome activity when you're slightly under the weather. You card, as always is beautiful! You had me smiling and tilting my head just so I could see the little house from a different angle :-) Love the flowers washi!
We've been dealing with illnesses and falls for the last few weeks. During that time I also had family visiting from overseas, so it's been busy. My little grandson will hopefully get his cast taken off in two weeks. The little guy broke his arm while playing with his buddies. No fun dealing with that while we've all been sick, even too sick to feel like crafting. But I think we are all on the mend now :-)
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Lena
How exciting for your son and his girlfriend! This card is such a nice way to celebrate the wonderful occasion. I absolutely LOVE your use of the washi, perfect! Glad your recovery is going well.
This is a beautiful card, I love the bright colours and bold sentiment too.
Sorry I have been MIA and missed a couple of your posts, I hope your bruises and aches are getting better after your tumble though.

What a lovely 'new home' card for your boyo and his girlfriend. A lovely striking design. Sure to mean so much to them in celebration of their first home! The washi tape is fabulous with it! Hope the purchase went smoothly for them and the move and settling in has gone well too. (Yay for a cheaper electricity bill, but it will feel a bit 'empty' for a time I'm sure.) Hugs, Wends xoxo
