So, for photo purposes, I thought you’d like to see what I made from the bits of scrap and the stamped images I found on some clear up. I coloured the images to match the colour of the little cards.
I stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ inside each card with ink the same colour as the card. No, I haven’t got too many ink pads. But I have still got lots of scraps and a few small coloured cards to use up; I’m beginning to think they’re multiplying. It was an enjoyable exercise,I probably made a card a day for a week because I only got to the desk for a few minutes at a time. I might go on with this idea of over doing the stamped images, hiding them a bit *cough* (you call it tidying) and then coming back. This week is filled with the joy of visiting family and the sadness of a funeral service for my Mama tomorrow, so please don’t consider me rude if I don’t visit…so far I’ve only got two extras guests in the house and it already feels as if we’re overrun….by tomorrow we will have swelled to nine and a baby. We’ll be playing sardines!
Never mind all that though, keep me sane and show me what you’re working on, it really does help!

Your photo doesn't seem to have loaded, but nomatter.
I hope tomorrow goes as well as it can do, I am sure that your hard work with the service will have paid off. I will be thinking of you, as will all the deskers and of course we don't expect you to visit!
Much love to you and the family xxx
For some reason the photo isn't showing Julia but you have plenty on your mind so no worry. Hope all goes well tomorrow and that the house doesn't burst at the seams. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
Sounds like a stressful, week for sure, and while I’m sure you will weather it with grace I also know it will still take a toll. My imagination is in overdrive so I’m sure those cards are lovely! Enjoy the family. Life events that gather us together, happy or sad at their core, are worth celebrating for that.
Big hugs and happy Woyww

Well those cards turned out just fine. Hope all goes well for your Mama's funeral, I will be thinking of you. Enjoy the family time as well - and I sure know that tidy up frenzy! Love and big hugs, Cindy #12
Morning Julia. Praying for you for tomorrow to be a special, though undoubtedly sad, day, as you all say goodbye to your mum.
Trusting the house doesn't burst apart as it fills up with everyone.
Take care of yourself; mourn, cry and laugh, as you remember that special person.
I really like those little cards - well done.
Love to you. God bless you.

I hope that being busy with the family busting the house at its seams helps quell the sadness of tomorrow a little for you, although it is always hard when it is someone as loved as your Mama was. They say we should celebrate a persons's life when they have passed but sometimes it is hard. My thoughts will be with you, prayers especially tonight.
Your cards are lovely and bright, I do like the idea of that matching the colour of the image to the card base - and ink inside - that is really putting effort in. They look absolutely fabulous all there on parade for us.
Sending gentle hugs, Neet 6 xx
Hi Julia, I am sure you will have a nice time when the family get together. Although funerals are not anyone's favourite time it is one of those occasions when families do get together and that makes it all so much better. I'm loving the cards and pleased to hear it's not just me trying to use up all those left-over bits and pieces, maybe it's that time of the year. Sending happy woyww hugs, Angela x13x
I’ll be thinking of you Julia tomorrow. There’ll be tears and laughter and many shared memories I’m sure.
Lots of love
