PROJECT WEDNESDAY

 Happy Wednesday everyone.

Well, I don't know about you but I feel like we went from Summer to Winter overnight!!  All the beautiful Autumn colours look a bit drab and dreary and the nights are certainly darker.

My poor little kiddos went Trick and Treating on Monday evening and they got absolutely drenched through to the skin.  Bless them though, they had a great time and got home to Hot Chocolate, a hot bath and bed.  Shame it was on a school night really but them's the breaks I guess. Lol

So, if you missed my live on Monday here is the link to watch the edited version on You Tube.  Those of you who did join me know I was a bit aggrieved that my card wouldn't stand up.  But, as I said during the live - I did add an extra piece of card to the inside of the "box" part and hey presto it stood up on it's own.  So, I would use a heavier cardstock than I did and you shouldn't have any problems at all.  I think the larger the card is made the less likelihood there is of it standing up properly.  Lesson learned.

Claire's edited live will be linked as soon as she can, probably at the weekend as she is away.  

It was a great live and if you missed it you can still catch it in the CWLH group.

Project day today here on the blog and this week's project is brought to you by the lovely Natalia.

Cut yellow card measuring 15cm by 15cm and white card 14.5cm by 14.5cm. Punch the corners on both cards. Matt and layer them together and adhere to the base card.

Position four embossed cards to the centre of card before gluing them.

Stamp a sentiment and cut into square measuring 4.5cm, punch the corners. Cut a 5cm square from yellow card punch the corners and matt and layer with sentiment.

Add the sentiment to the centre of the card with 3D foam pads.
