Good morning Deskers, another Wednesday arrives, cold and sunny here in London. Business not quite as usual as we have heard from Doug that the lovely Shaz is really very poorly. Our hearts, prayers and best wishes go out to them both today.
Well here's my desk, late Tuesday - and still light at 5.00 pm despite the grey, snow laden skies.
And here's a commission for a personalised 80th. A bit of a rush job this one but I still like it. Look at the depth of that embossing folder. This is a newish one from Lisa Horton (which I bought in January - I'm still on track for no February craft purchases).
Why am I showing you this? Well it's our weekly Wednesday Blog Hop - WOYWW. Here's the link to the one responsible, the lovely Julia at Stamping Ground - pop on over and join in, see what it's all about and have a go yourself.
Stay well, stay safe, Cindy xx

well done for keeping to the February purchase embargo. That 80th birthday card is stunning Cindy and you are right about the embossing - it is deep. Greta never ending cards too. Stay safe, Sarah #5
LOVE your neverending cards! I am not much of a cardmaker, really, but I am a sucker for a weird construction or some kind of interactivity. Lovely stuff!
Happy WOYWW!

I love what you've done with the embossing on that card - the colours are so soft and pretty. Definitely hugs all around today, Lisa-Jane #10
Sending that Hug!
Good on you for persevering with those Never Ending Cards, I do find them difficult to know what to stamp in the squares. Someone once sent me one with footballs in each and everyone of them so that could be an idea for a football fan (not that I am).
Lovely 80th card - very appropriate and fab embossing folder, that is deep!
Another Hug, Neet 6 xx
That 80th card is really lovely, the soft tones and flowers are gorgeous - I’m sure Eleanor will love it! And we don’t always have to do masterpieces, but those cards are bright and cheerful, perfect for a pick-me-up which I think we all need today.

I'm trying to work out how the "never-ending cards" work! Looks impressive, in any case. The commissioned card looks gorgeous - I couldn't say it was rushed - it's stylish and tasteful! Have a lovely week, Cindy! xx zsuzsa #24
Well done on Dry February (for craft stash that is!). The 80th card is absolutely beautiful -I love that embossing folder, it gives such a good impression. Not sure how never-ending cards work but they look fabulous and also intriguing!
Hope you have a good week, stay safe and well,

the never ending cards look great!! You should have plenty of time for proper "art" being retired.... but well done on the commissions! I saw Doug's latest update whilst I was on the bus home from work.... now that DOES suck! Take care and stay safe Helen #2

Cindy those cards are brilliant! I love them!! I think you filled up and used the spaces in a perfect way! I love the bits you used, the colors and the stamping! I think it pulled together nicely! And I really love the commissioned card! How special and beautiful. I really like the depth of that embossing folder! Wow, so gorge, especially when you added the color! Stay safe and healthy and have a great rest of your week! Felicia #30
Good for you for your continued abstinence! The cards are terrific ~ So many sides to consider ! I don't know how you did that?! Enjoy your week ~ love, Karen#28
Always been amazed by those never ending cards, so clever in design. Your commission card is fab, great colours, it will be loved for sure. Well done on the no purchase February your very very good.. Stay safe & well Tracey #36
I started doing a never ending card the other day...I never ended it but will have another go as soon as I finish cutting up the dinosaurs! I love the purple ones, your cards that is...not my dinosaours, I've coloured the ones I've already done a sort of grey. One of my last 'commissions' (no I wasn't paid)was for an 80 year old too, I hope she liked it!
Stay safe, Keep on crafting! Happy WOYWW!? ((Lyn)) #26!
Lovely collection of cards, my favourite would have to be the 80th. The flowers and light dusting of colour is gorgeous. Have a lovely week and keep safe.

Well my friend, I congratulate you on your dry February. Mine isn’t. I did some bad mood shopping yesterday and no doubt when it comes it will just sit about for a bit while I figure out why I bought it! For all the work the endless cards make, your desk looks pretty sane. The cards are lovely, a triumph of folding and figuring where to put panels, I believe you have more patience than I! What a sweet card for Eleanor too, I agree about the depth of the embossing, these 3d folders are incredible. And hard to crank through the machine! Keep wel and stay strong with the shopping, we’re nearly half way through the month!
Hi Cindy. That's a lovely commissioned card - beautiful. The embossing is indeed really deep. Well done. And I love those never-ending cards. I have made a couple over the years - they are great fun to do and always intrigue the recipient.
Take care. God bless.

I'm late this week getting round everyone as mum is in a nursing home and we had to take her some stuff yesterday as well as going for our vaccine. I love never ending cards they are so much fun to make and receive. Wishing you a very happy belated woyww, Angela x18x
Oh YAY you are almost to the half way point for this month, that is a gorgeous folder. I do love the personalizing you did for it too :) ((( HUGS ))) ~Stacy #37
Lovely cards, do. Everlasting cards stand up? Just wondering. Have a great weekend. Angela #12
Your never ending cards are gorgeous, Cindy, and they look fascinating! Not sure how the construction works, but I love anything interactive. The 80th birthday card is beautiful, and as you say, a really deep embossing folder - so pretty!
Shaz and Doug are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi x #25

Never ending cards are one of my favourite styles - and yours look brilliant! I can spend hours just playing with them!
Happy WOYWW!
Stay safe and keep well!
Update on here in Victoria – we are in a snap lockdown again – hopefully only for a few days – but 5k limit, no visitors or gatherings, only leave the house for the 4 special reasons, only essential shops open…
And the rainbow lorikeets are eating our peaches!
