Corner Games

Good Morning everyone, Hope you had a lovely weekend and that you got some sunshine. I have had a funny old weekend :0 I got a message on Saturday morning to say my brother-in-law had passed away. My sister died 3yrs ago and he has been in pretty poor health, for a few years now. However it was quite unexpected as he was in  hospital with a Hernia and on Wednesday the dc. said he thought he had stomach cancer, he died on Friday... These things certainly happen quickly. 
Then the weekend saw Hubby and I being brought home in a break-down truck from Whitby, went for a run out and the brake pipe broke on the car so the AA brought us home...doh! Had to wait two hours for them to get to us. Do you ever get the feeling that you should stay in bed somedays,  but at least the neighbours were entertained as I climbed out backwards from the lorry....lol 
Now  we have decided to get another little job done on the car whilst its in the garage tomorrow.....so I guess we will be paying out ridiculous money again....grrr!! don't they realise money is far better spent in craft shops, at least you can see what you get for it.
Anyway now to my card, I thought I would play with some Spellbinders Corners,  sorry I forgot to jot down the name of them as my daughter bought them at Harrowgate show and cut me some. I saw a card like this on Amazing Paper Grace (Becca's blog) So thought I would try it out. It doesn't come anywhere near Becca's of course :(   There is a link to her blog on my side bar.
also used....
Spellbinders"Adorning Squares!
Flowers are Wild Orchid and ribbon from stash
Nitwit Paper..sob sob (my last piece of this one) 

  Hopefully can do some hopping tomorrow whilst waiting for the car to come back.
 Hugs to everyone xxx

    I agree about the car money could be better spent on crafts, but craft materials won't take you out and about LOL.
    What a gorgeous card and very pretty colours :o)

    Oh! Mau, so sorry to hear about your BIL at least he did not linger in pain.
    Oh! and your car, well they always cost money no matter how big or how little the repair is.
    Now to your card! which is absolutely stunning, I love the colours you have used. I don`t have that particular Die, I have similar must have a go at something like this.
    Have a Great Day

    Hi Mau

    So sorry to read about your BIL .. .. what a shock.

    I know what you mean about car bills. Mine is booked in for a service and MOT and it is costing a mini fortune. I'm just hoping they don't find anything wrong!!

    How much crafty stash cold I have for the same bill?!?!?!?

    Loving your card by the way. Those are gorgeous die cuts!

    Love Jules xx
