August Swap

Sorry to her you are not too well PP. Be kind to yourself and don't push yourself if you don't feel up to it. Even if it's not Covid, in my experience other viruses have less long lasting affects if you allow yourself to take it easy.

I have been a Tolkein fan since the age of 9 so this was right up my street. To me , that’s Smaug’s eye when he first wakes up when Bilbo and the dwarves are after his treasure.I have got ‘O’ Level Latin but thankfully Borderline sent me a translation.
Borderline used gilding flakes, shimmer pens and mica powder to create the wonderful way the images catch the light and change.
Truly awesome Borderline, many thanks.

Wow that’s amazing must have taken you a while
I’m afraid my effort is not up to that standard
My mojo has left me in the lurch
Probably hiding under piles of boxes and brick dust
How does it travel to every room when doors a closed
Doesn’t help when I cover things up and hubby just yanks the cover off sending plumes of dust into the air
Anyway back to subject my swap is winging its way
And I now can think about the ATC swap

Mine is being posted today - but having just driven past a picket line of posties on my way home from work I reckon it might take longer than planned! Apologies :(

Received my lovely card from PinkPig last week, but recent national events held up photographing and posting the picture. Many thanks for all your hard work. I had forgotten all about revolutionary bow-makers until I read your message!!
I love the autumnal feeling of the card from the colour used for the Tonic border and the way the double cut butterfly gives a feeling of motion.

Beautiful card
Unfortunately I can’t see the details that clearly
If you used the forum link it does not work as well as you can’t enlarge the imaged like you can using a free uploading site such as imgur

PS I had a bow maker years before the internet
My dad made me one out of strip of polished wood with little dowel rods you could move into peg holes to make different sized bows
Made me a score board and a block so I could make little gift bags
This was back in 1988
Think if only we had known how theses tools would take off
He could have made a fortune If he could have afforded to get the patent on them
Will see if I can find them

I tried loading up the picture with Flickr - I'll give Imgur a try instead!52354890235_61c62c38bc_o.jpg

No better - I'll try again to morrow when I'm not so tired.

Here is my beautiful Card from CSF

I have had it a few days but it has been hectic here
I love the colours used in this card they are both zingy and calming
The die cuts were made with with paper and dies that were from Papercraft Society magazine that CSF forgot she had, I know that so well after sorting my stash some of it is from 2008
