Granmargarets cards-n-stuff

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.

Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.

I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. 2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes challenge - shapes

Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes challenge
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-songs-rhymes-june-2nd-june-15-2019

Find inspiration in the rhyme:

Rhyme: Shapes

Shapes, Do you like Shapes
Shapes. I like Shapes
Do you like Shapes of all kinds?
Let’s see what Shapes we can find.

Can you find the circle?
I’ll give you a clue… it’s round!
And it has only one side.
That’s the one, you got it right!

Can you find the square?
I’ll give you a clue, it has 4 sides
They are all the same length.
That’s the one, you got it right!

Can you find the triangle?
I’ll give you a clue – It has 3 sides.1 – 2 – 3
The sides can be equal or different lengths
that’s the one you got it right!

Chorus
Can you find Rectangle?
Two sides are long and two sides are short
There are 4 sides in total
That’s the one you got it right!

Chorus
circle square triangle
Rectangle heart star
arrow diamond

My memory is getting worse. I remembered late last night I hadn't made my card for today's post so stayed up late to make it. Then I forgot to do the post earlier today.

I have used papers from We are 3 Howdy and Peppermint paper collections
Added shapes.
Added flowers from Whoopsi Daisy collection 11.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge
