They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 30
Hello everyone!
It’s Day 30 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024! I was hoping that a Christmas in July crafty order would arrive this morning but sadly it didn’t… so I turned to my Plan B which I had started working on ‘just in case’.
The background is embossed with my beloved Pinecone Plethora folder and the main image is an oldie but goodie – the Antique Pine Label die by Memory Box. After colouring it with distress inks, I added a Simply Graphic berry die and a few cones from the Stampin’ Up Christmas Pinecone die set that I first used for this card.
After assembling the card, I felt the lower section needed a splash of that red mirror card so I added a few berries. I was a bit concerned that they aren’t attached to a stem but now looking at my photos, I think they work!
Of course the sentiment is from my go-to Mama Elephant set!
Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 7
Hi there!
Welcome to Day 7 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024.
I chose a fun snowman from a Simply Graphic die set for my focal point today…. and then spent AGES searching for a background stamp that I couldn’t find…. maybe I don’t have it after all… but the upside was that I found some supplies that I’d completely forgotten about and they will soon be making an appearance on a card.
In the end I chose a circle stamp from an older Altenew set for the background.
To complete my card, I added a Mama Elephant sentiment and some stickles.
Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 4
Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 4 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024!
Today’s CAS card was made using two Simply Graphic dies, glitter and holographic card plus a Mama Elephant sentiment.
Although this card looks pretty simple, I tried a LOT of different permutations before landing on this one!
Thanks for stopping by!

Festive tree
Happy Festive Friyay!
Today I’m playing along with the current colour challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
When I saw that this week’s colour palette was green, white and gold I knew I would have to make a card with a tree!
I decided to use the larger tree from the Concord & 9th Cloche die set that I bought before last Christmas and oddly used for the February Colour Challenge! I cut it from Craft Consortium paper and then die cut elements from glitter and mirror card. for the card base, I used a Simply Graphic die and a few hand punches.
To complete my card, I added a sentiment from a Hero Arts set from 2005!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there!
It’s been a very busy month and I haven’t had much crafty time unfortunately. But I did managed to play with some new Simply Graphic dies and made a card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
The sentiment is by The Greetery.
Thanks for stopping by!
