It's been a difficult time for me and my family as last Saturday my lovely Grandma passed away. I am truly heartbroken but comforted that she was at home and with her two daughters. It breaks my heart even further that my father who lives on the other side of the world can't get here due to Covid.
Some may remember I shared a mothers day card a few weeks that I created to send on behalf of my Dad, my Aunty opened it as it arrived and showed it to my Grandma. I do hope it brought her some joy, if only for a second.
After I heard the terrible news, I spent the whole weekend focussing on my new blog redesign, it was what I needed to do to keep my mind busy and to stop the tears from falling. Everyone deals with grief in different ways and I ploughed all my energy into finally getting it done and I hope you like it.
So now you'll understand why I haven't had time to create a card for this blog hop - instead I'm sharing the Valentines card I made for my husband. It fits the brief - it's a card for a man. It may be very simple but I know a card covered in flowers or cute images isn't my husbands cup of tea. The words are more important to him.
It's been over a week since I last shared a project. That's because I've been busy working on the finishing touches of my new blog look and I finally finished it on Sunday. You might have noticed I've changed my branding too, after I updated all of my social media the weekend prior.
I really hope you like the new design, it looks so much better on mobile devices and it looks pretty cool on desktop and laptop computers too. My online shop is back too, should you wish to order any Stampin' Up! products.
I want to shout out and say a massive thank you to Eve who has done a fabulous job of putting together this mash up of several of her lovely Blogger themes, perfectly to my specification, I couldn't be happier with the end results - check out her Etsy shop here
Today I am entering this card I created into the TGIF Challenge #TGIFC308.

I've used the All Things Fabulous stamp set, Fabulous Floral dies, Hydrangea Hill DSP and the Opal Rounds.
I have stamped the flowers and leave in Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight and Soft Sea Foam.
The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set. You might also have noticed behind the flowers is a label from the Nested Labels dies.

Last weekend I attended my upline Michelle Lasts Pinkies Craft Along. We were very lucky to have 5 great projects delivered to us virtually via Facebook lives by Stampin' Up! demonstrators from our team called the Pinkies.
We gathered together on Zoom and it was so lovely to see each other. It's been a year now since the last in person event and I can't wait until it is safe to see each other in person!
I'm sharing with you today this wonderful Twist and Pop Fold Card that the lovely Lin Gostling demonstrated.
