I'm continuing to loose one gain one,
loose one with my followers.
Beginning to be a bit of a cat and mouse game!
Also though I can access my Dashboard
from my Ipad I cannot see my readers list or
write a new blog post up.
Anyone else having the same problem?
It's annoying as I like to be downstairs of an evening
and not glued to the internet upstairs.
Right. Moan over.
It's time once again for the
girls in the Christmas Card Club to show
our next batch of cards
Kate has chosen the Theme of
'Icicles'.
This one I freely admit had me well and truly stumped!
But as I never admit defeat
looking through my stash of used christmas cards
I found this picture of a water mill which I cut down
slightly to make this new card.
I mounted onto silver glitter card and then onto
sage green card stock ( that picked out the colours of the water)
to make the base card.
Sentiment is die cut from a snippet of the glitter card
then I simply took my silver stickles bottle and created some icicles
hanging from the roofs, wheel, waterfall and the trees.
I took the picture with the card at an angle to catch the icicles.
I'm still sticking to my resolution to make one card from
my used stash and one from my stash of
stamps, embossing folders, diecuts , digis and stencils
which I have mostly never used.!
Could I find an Icicle amongst them?
Nope.
But
what is a snowflake if it is not an Icicle
so just keep that idea firmly in your head as I show you
my next card.!!
This snowflake E.F is by Spellbinders
M-bossibilities Winter Wonder design B.
The empty space at the top was just crying out for a stamp.
I found this never used freebie 'Humphrey's Corner'
and sentiment (had been one long word but I cut it in half)
which I coloured with my promarkers and pearlised chalk
for the background..
Snowflake brad was in my odds tin on my desk.
The stamp had snow falling so I used liquid pearls to embellish.
Mounted onto white card and then grey pearlised cardstock.
As I was putting everything away
I still had this freebie snowflake EF on my desk
that I had embossed onto a strip of white card.
Waste not want not!
10mins later a further Icicle card.
Silver Sentiment sticker and silver gems
completed the look.
Hope your all enjoying what is left of the weekend .
I off to do a spot of sewing now.
hugs to you all.

Very similar problems here as well, the odd few followers going from personal and challenge blogs and when it's several at a time it has to be down to Blogger. Also exactly the same issue on my tablet, was doing a bit of research on that and seems quite a common one again put down to Blogger blocking certain devices.
But on the positive side a nice collection of cards.

Hello Valery, well what a fabulous selection of cards, each and everyone is so beautiful. Your winter scene is gorgeous, and you have upcycled it so well with lots of icicles, very creative and Humphry is so sweet and your third one is a lovely traditional card, brilliant, Kate x
Not one but three fabulous cards. Great upcycling and use of freebies xx
Hi Mrs A Soooo pretty are not one but all three cards the recycled card is simply gorgeous l love the scene and all the glitter and the green card really captures the water effect too! your second and third cards are equally stunning and a cute image and embossed background so so pretty they all are take care x
You have been very productive!! All three cards are beautiful and love very much the first one with the gorgous upcycled picture, your icicles sparkle wonderfully! And yes, you are absolutely right, the snowflakes are icicles too! :d so your amazing panels are perfect for the theme!
Goodness you put your thinking hat on and got busy. Three lovely cards Mrs. A. I love your Humphrey image. Barbxx
Hi Valery....such industry....3 cards and a recycle....well done,loving them all...my favourite I'd Humphrey...he is just so cute xxxxxx
Such cute Christmas cards !
I'm having the same problem with my followers, I hope after all the cleaning, Blogger will also invest time and energie in some improvements!

My goodness,you have been very busy. I would never have guessed that the first card was a cut down recycled card - I thought it was a topper. Very well matched. Onto the topic of blogger, I have lost all my followers - and I didn't have many to start with! I have also lost the followers link on my sidebar. I will sort it out eventually. Have a good week. Lynn
Gorgeous ValeryAnne. (Just left you a message on the butterfly blog)
Hugs, Veerle
Great use of your stash and technology is a mystery to me!
I so admire you sticking to your resolution of recycle and once again, you've done a fab icicle look on the wonderful old watermill. Brilliant to hang the stickles icicles..very glistening. Also love that great folder on #2 with the cute image. And #3, equally cool, with a great design, use of color & shine. three terrific looks, each so different. I'm still losing people too, not sure if I've gained any or it's 'old followers' resigning. I gave up worrying about it. Was going to use the 350 mark for my 4th blogaversary celebration, but that's not gonna work! TFS & Hugs
FAB makes & that's a great resolution you're sticking to! xx
Great recycling and a lovely set of card.

Fabulous cards... Love the first one ....... Stunning scene
Hugs Sylvie x
All three are gorgeous! Loving all the sparkle! xxx
Blogger has certainly been playing havoc with our followers numbers since December and yes I have had to deal with the dashboard disappearing act too [ nothing we can do about it rather than wait it out!]
Terrific trio of twnkliness, all so different but equally lovely. Love technology when it works, hate it when it doesn't, which is too often xxx
Ooooooh love them all Mrs A but think the five min one at the end is my fav.
Just cutting up some cards to upcycling for Cgrustas today as dong a clean up in my desk, it sssso needed it.
Mm I know there's more at bottom of this comment but sigh it won't show so this comment is going to be very odd.
I am on iPad and have never been able to do a post on it always have to be on computer. Can edit a post on android mobile sometimes though,
Love Shaz in Oz.x
Typical the bit I thought was at bottom of my comment just vanished so now that's even weirder. ;)
Fabulous cards and I like them all!!
It seems that the 'follower problem'' has something to do with Blogger + Google. It also happens to my followers. So weird...!

Something very weird is going on. Your post didn't show up in my list until about an hour ago. Very odd! I love the watermill; such a beautiful image. Great cards all round. Christine xx
Three very beautiful cards here. All have lovely details to them. Hope you find your followers. I have also lost some:( Michelle x
three great makes Valery - I really struggled with this one! Big hugs Rachel x
Wow! Three cards for the price of one Mrs A. All fabulous and great to be whittling down your stash too.
I haven't experienced any problems with Blogger as yet thank goodness, I know a lot of people have though and it can be very frustrating. Goodness knows what they are up to, they haven't let on and probably never will tell us why they're messing with things.
Lorraine
Oh my Valery you really went to town on this one and I like them all. Zx
A wonderful trio of icicle cards Mrs A, do love the EF folder on the second one. Carol x
