Chocolate Time

Thank you to all my crafty pals for your lovely comments. Well it is officially the coldest March, in Somerset, in the last forty years. I do so feel for my pals who are stuck with worse weather and hope you are all safe. Thinking that it is perhaps always time for chocolate and at the moment hot chocolate I don’t think this waistline is quite correct, lol. I do like this torso die, I think they are fun so as I was doing some die cutting I thought I would play. My background card was for another project, I printed it off and put it to one side, the following morning I needed a piece of  card so picked it up and happily cut into it without checking the reverse – duh – now how did it end up upside down (I expect it is those naughty fairies again). Anyway sometimes I don’t get the result I want !!!!! so here is my too busy card. 

Paper and card - card blank is a 6 inch square 
my backing paper was printed from an old download, 
 Dies used :- Sizzix Framelits Tags Rounded,
Memory Box Winged Swirl and bits of  stems. 
Magnolia Doily Flowers and 
SCACD Alice's Clock Statement Corner & Blank Canvas Torso.

    Hi Flora, your post made me smile from ear to ear! You did exactly the kind of thing I seem to do all the time. I love that corset die, it is really beautiful and I really like that time piece too. Hate all this snow, it is just lasting too long.... Hugs, Anne x

    A very special card Flora. It's lovely.
    I can't wait till this freezing weather goes. The wind is so biting all the time.
    At this rate the spring bulbs will be going in reverse !

    Hi Flora,
    fabulous card. What's this about naughty fairies. lol. They seem to like our crafting desks.
    I think the waistline is fab. Not that I have ever aspired to such a fab one. I always tell my family everyone see me as a short tubby lady when really they don't see that I am six foot very slim lady, I can just hope can't I.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
