Stolen Kiss

Good Morning my crafty friends, followers and visitors

How are you all today? well I hope.

Well another  quick post today as lots to do at home and we also have to

go to mums to do a couple of jobs.  Hopefully will be back early afternoon

(fingers crossed).

Hope you are enjoying Sunday, be it being with family, friends or just

enjoying a peaceful day.  

Thought we might have a bit of vintage today - hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Card is 7.5 x 6 inches and to this I have added backing paper that I have

distressed all along the edges and coloured with Tim Holts vintage photo

ink.

2. The image is one I had lying around and its from a Joanna Sheen  vintage

cd.  I have  also distressed it before mounting it onto black  card again

distressing the edges.

3. Using the same Tim Holt ink I distressed a piece of ribbon then wrapped

it around the photo at an angle before I adhered it to the card.

4. I took a piece of cream lace coloured it again with the vintage photo ink

and stuck a row of pearls down the centre.  To complete I added a 

distressed rose.

That's me for today my friends

Hope to see back tomorrow

As Always

Until Next Time

Good Morning my crafty friends, followers and visitors

Well nearly the end of another week - anything exciting planned for the weekend?

As it's Friday I am off to mum's to do domestic chores and then this afternoon

I hope to get back into my craft room because as I said yesterday I am trying

to make a card a day and to blog each day.

I hope our American friends enjoyed their Thanksgiving  and managed to meet

up with their families.

Well today I have made my card using the Lelli-Bot Twit Twoo collection, hope you like

Details

1. Card base is 8 x8 and I have matted it with a piece of gold card.

2. Using papers from the collection I then matted these onto the

           gold card.  The next step was to wrap lace down and across card.

   3.  Then I placed one of the toppers from the collection at an angle

      and completed by adding a bow and placing pearl hearts at each

     end of the ribbon and an owl charm at the centre of the bow. The

sentiment also from the collection was added at the bottom.

Everything apart from the card base is from the Lelli-Bot store

click here to go to the site, you will no be disappointed  I promise.

Well my friends, that's all for today
hope to see you back tomorrow
Until Next Time

Nice Hat

Morning My Crafty Friends, Followers and visitors

Yes your eyes are to deceiving you, I am doing a new post and not for

any DT work but just for myself.

It's been a while since I have managed to post two days on the trot as I

always seem to have something else that need doing, then before you

know it its evening and to be honest all I want to do is chill out in

my chair and usually fall asleep.

I hope I can rectify this and I am going to make myself make  a card

each day and post it and I hope you will all support me with your

encouraging comments.  We all know that the comments we send each

other really gives us a boost and makes us want to go on and create

more.

Another reason I have been out of action quite a lot is that I have been

doing wedding invitations for a friends daughter, as a wedding present

from me and it has taken a lot of time.  Sorry cannot show you any

but will do so next year.  what with that and Christmas I have been

meeting myself coming backward hey ho that's life.

Well down to business, here is my little offering - hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Card size is 8.5 x 5.5 inches and is from my stash

2. The next layer is blue pearlescent card and to

this I have added patterned papers in orange and

blue.

3. The image is from the cd My Besties "TM" and

          I have used pro markers to colour her. She was then

die cut using SB Labels Eight.

  4. Before adhering to the card I have backed her with

a paper doilie and to complete I have attached

paper flowers and three sparkle stickers.

Well that's all my friend for today, more tomorrow

As Always

My Crafty Friends. Followers and Visitors.

I hope you have all had a good weekend, mine was great, what more could a crafter

want than to go to the NEC and spent (apart from having more money to throw around).

Mary and I had a fab time and met up with some crafty buddies, Steve and Andree
which was lovely.

Suprisingly I did not buy as much as usual but did manage to spent all the money I
took and some more beside  but hey ho that's what money is made for HA HA!! .

Now down to business, its Monday and we all know that mean another challenge

starts today over at Whoopsi Daisy - The theme this week is  (LAYERS)

two patterned papers and before adhering to the card

I have added two strips of white satin ribbon.

the same pink  satin card and I have added yet another

patterned paper.

4. The image I have taken from the Whoopsi Daisy Cd

Good Evening 

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

I trust we are all well?.  Well nearly another week gone already, I cannot believe how

fast the weeks are going.  It will be Christmas before we know it and I still have

around 20 Christmas cards left to make.

What plans do we all have for the weekend? I am off to the NEC on Saturday

with cousin Mary and really looking forward to it and to hopefully meeting

up with some crafty buddies, which should be fun.  If any of you are there

on Saturday and recognise me,give me a shove and say hello.

I would also like to say  a big thank you to my new followers  and although

I don't seem to get the time to blog each day, I do hope that when I do

I can entertain you and that you will continue to support me with all your

lovely comments.

My creation today is again a colouring one and I have taken the image from the

Cd MY Besties and  she is called  New Messy Maddie.  I am having so much

fun colouring and trying to learn the techniques,  I hope you like.

DETAILS

1. Card is again 8 x8  ( my favourite) and I have covered  with

some backing paper that I have had for years and had forgotten

about.  Although you cannot see it the flowers all have glitter

on them.

2. The image I have coloured using pro markers and then die

cut using SB  Bow Elegance.  I also cut another frame from

peach card and adhered it to the back but before putting

them together I threaded pink ribbon through the first frame.

3. I adhered her to the card using foam pads and added the

sentiment.

Well my friends, that's all from me tonight and hopefully I 

will blog again either tomorrow or Sunday.

Until Next Time

As Always
