My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Happy Saturday, quick post today as lots to do

Food shopping first, then off to pick up mum and take her into town

and buy her a present for her birthday and a little look round, as she is 87 today.

manage somehow.  Then she will be back to our's for a little birthday tea.

DETAILS

1. Usual card size 8 x8 and this has been matted with

papers from my Kanban kit.

2. Next the topper is also from the same kit and I have

decoupaged the words and some of the items on the

line.

3. Ribbon with the wording IT'S A BOY from my

stash has been added to the top and bottom of 

the card. The little heart embellishment also

from the kit.

That's me done for today, hopefully I will

return tomorrow .

Sweet Smiles

Good Evening,
My Crafty Friends. Followers and Visitors

Before I start my little saga I would like to welcome Bonnie who is my latest follower.

Late posting from me today, its been one  of those days, you know the ones
when whatever you want to do seems to go haywire  or take an age.


Started when I had to go to hospital this morning for a blood test, now bearing in mind
the hospital is literally down the road from where I live, because it was pouring
down I decided I would go in the car, well a snail could have got there quicker.
The traffic was horrendous, well eventually I got there, got wet through going
into the hospital and then when I got to the blood test department ITS WAS PACKED
and this was only 8.45am and to top it all there had been a burst somewhere
and the department was flooded.  Anyway  I had to wait 15min to be called so
was not that bad in the end but I had to stand for the whole 15mins and boy
could I feel it on my back.

Came home and tried to make a start on doing my DT work   and I think  I
left my mojo in the hospital because for the life of me I could not get going.
Mary came as usual then Linda and we all had a nice lunch, helped
Mary to sort some of her cards out and slowly mojo started coming back.

Well now that I have bored you all to tears (sorry) here is an little
card I have made using another Sherri Baldy digi that I won.

DETAILS

1. Using  an 8 x 8 card I matted it with paper from Craftwork Cards
before I adhered it to the card I wrapped lace around the bottom
and down the side.

2. The image I coloured using Copic Pens and then die cut  using
a Tattered Lace Oval die and mounted it into the centre of the
card using foam pads.

3. The flower is made out of ribbon and I have used a lilac brad
as the centre.

To complete I added a With Love Tag and added a dragonfly brad.

That's it for today, my friends, hope you will
call again tomorrow and I promise it will be
as short post.

Until Next Time
As Always

Good Afternoon,

LOTS OF LAYERS

our other sponsor is

Lacy Sunshine and they are offering a prise of $20 Gift Certificate

I do hope you will join in and for more inspiration, please visit

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog where our  lovely ladies

have created some beautiful cards.  Here is my DT make

and it is one from The Paper Shelter and is called

SOPHIE IN THE COUNTY and can be purchased HERE

DETAILS

1. Using my favourite card size 8 x 8 I matted it with

paper from Craftwork Cards their Butterfly Parade

collection. Before adhering to the card I wrapped

a piece of lace along the bottom.

2. Next I laid a paper heart shaped doily, then came

the lemon felt circle.

        3. The image is as I have said from The Paper Shelter and

               titled Sophie in the country and I have coloured her with

      my Copic pens. She was then die cut using SB die 

         Timeless Rectangles ( I love this die). I then mounted it

using foam pads.

      4.   I then created some flowers and leaves and coloured the 

flowers yellow to match and used blue gems for

    the centres.  Another flourish was die cut and placed

near the bottom of the card to balance it all out.

There you have it, hope you like and really would love

to see you all play along with us and I cannot wait

to see all  your wonderful creations.

Until Next Time

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Busy old day for me, housework, ironing and then off to Linda's after lunch

to play around doing some altered art and hopefully learning what products

go with what.

How are you all doing? trust you are well and that the weather is being kind

to you. Looking out the window you would think its spring, blue sky, sunshine

but go out and the wind hits you and its chilly.

I see that I have gained another follower but I cannot see her  name, so

please forgive me, you are very welcome and hope you enjoy what I

say and create. Please let me know who you are then I can pop over

to your blog as I think its right that we support and encourage each other.

DETAILS

1. Card is 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 scalloped edge and to this I have

matted a piece of pink paper that was free in one of the

Tattered lace magazines.

2. Next came the Dollie but before I adhered it I  decided

to thread a pink ribbon through it and gather it up

slightly.  The image is one I got free from one of

the craft fairs last year and was just a perfect fit

for the inside of the Dollie.

To complete I added pink gems to the top and bottom corners.

Very quick make today, hope you will call back tomorrow.

Until Next Time

For Mum

Good Evening

My Crafty Friends, Followers  and  Visitors

Boy the weekend has flown by and had some catching up to do, hence why

I am late with my blog.

I would like to welcome Jackie who is my latest follower, I hope you enjoy

your visits Jackie and please let me know your blog address so that I can

pop over to you and follow.

Well had a lovely time yesterday at Leigh and I did behave myself and not

spent too much but the things I bought I am very pleased with.

Mostly I was stocking up on goodies to start doing Altered Art projects. Don't

have much of an idea yet as to what goes with what but I will have.

I could not resist buying this MDF heart and I have been doing it for some

time today (longer than anticipated but spent at least 1/2 hour looking at it)

Anyway once I started I was on a roll and I think seeing as this is only

my third attempt at this craft I am very please with the result and I 

hope mum will like it as I will be giving her this on Mothers Day as part

of her present.

DETAILS

1. Started by covering the heart with white Gesso and once

dried I covered it with Imagination Crafts Lavender Lace

Silkies.

2.The flower at the bottom is made from ribbon I bought 

at the show and you draw the cord at the  ends and it

make this gorgeous flower and I put a brad through

the middle.

3. All the rest of the flowers and pearls are from my

stash and they have all been adhered using my heat

gum.

I used a piece of Lilac satin ribbon to create the hanger.

The reason I have used mainly Lilac is that it my

mums favourite colour.

There it it! my creation and I am so proud of it

and I have also created today another little project

but I will share that with you sometime this week

as its another little present for my Mum who

will be 87 on Saturday.

Hope you can join me again tomorrow

Until Next Time

Include A Sentiment

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, followers and Visitors

Yippee it s Saturday the weekend is  here at last

Hope it's a good one for you all and today sees the start of another

challenge over at Creative Craft Cottage Challenge Blog

Our theme today is  - Include A Sentiment

Now that's an easy on, so we really want to see you over there

show casing all your creations.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is :-

Karleigh Sue and the prize in 4 Digi images of your choice !

Our lovely design team ladies have been working hard

and have created some stunning work, so please pop over

take a look and join in.

Here is my design team make, hope you like?

DETAILS

1. The teepee was made using three pieces of A4 card

and before I joined them together I embossing each one.

2. Using my pro markers I coloured each section of the

embossed design and by the time I came round to the

last section believe me I had had enough, did not realise

when I started just how many sections it involved  colouring.

To give a little more effect  to the teepee I took three cocktail

sticks and adhered them through the fold at the top of the 

teepee to give the impression of a frame. The teepee can

be unfastened at the side and folded flat.

                     3. The image is from Karleigh Sue  and is called
Autumn Moon (you can find her HERE ) and I have coloured her

with pro markers then fuzzy cut her and adhered her to the

front of the teepee.

The sentiment I used was from my stash and reads

When the world says

Give Up

Hope whispers

Try it one  more time

I really like that sentiment and think its very inspiring.

I will be off to the craft show today at Leigh with

Mary and hope I don't spend to much He He!!!

Will have to keep hands firmly in my pockets.

I Thank You

Good Morning

My Crafty Friend, Followers and Visitors,

Well it's the start of another week, anyone getting up to anything special.

I believe its half term here in the UK so I guess most of you will be taking

a break from work and looking after the children.  Probably by the end

of the week wishing for Monday to come to get the children back in

school and you back to normal.

I see that my little band of followers is growing steadily and hopefully

soon I will be up to 70.  If you have started following me and

I have not returned a visit to your blog, it's more than likely that

I don't have your blog address. Please leave me it in your

comments as I do want to start following you all.

Off to Mums today to check everything is ok and hopefully weather

permitting clean her outside windows, quite easy really as she lives

in a bungalow.

Not wanting to speak to soon but my back seems to be getting a little better

and I have been thinking  about what could have brought it on and the 

only thing that I can think of is back in January I  have to go and get

my blood pressure checked and they found my cholesterol was quite high

and told me they were going to put me on Statins. I have never heard of

them but they help lower cholesterol but I was told if I started having

headaches, joint pains or feeling very tired to stop taking them and

go back.  Well I have been having headaches, falling asleep at the 

drop of a hat and of course the pain in my back started.

So I thought Jennifer stop taking the dam things and that was

last Thursday and the pain is defiantly getting easier and I am

not falling asleep as soon as I sit in the armchair, although I do fall

asleep later in the evening but that is something I have done for

years, No Comments about OLD AGE Thank You  ha ha !!!.

Boy I do waffle on don't I, sorry folks but I just wanted to bring

you up to speed and promise to SHUT UP.

Today's make is again using the Kanban kit, I think its breading

in the box as it does not seem to be going down but then it

is a lovely kit to work with.

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x8 card and made it into an easel card

2. Using paper from Craftwell Cards paper pad I covered the

bottom and top of the card.

3. Using the Kanban topper I mounted it onto the card using

foam pads. I added a paper border also from the kit along

the top.

4. I added (one of my favourite sentiments) There is nothing

Special about this card except the person holding it

made a stopper out of silver mirri board and added

the sentiment Thank You to it.

There you have it finished - what's that I hear you say

about time she shut up waffling.

Hope you can call back tomorrow and I promise it will not

be an essay.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

You Must Be Clean

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

And how are we all this Sunday Morning?

Looks as though it's not going to be a bad day weather  wise, hope it's the same

wherever you are.

Today I am showing a card made using the lovely HouseMouse designs.

DETAILS

1. Card size is 5 x7 and I have decided to use it in landscape

format.

2. Using the Housemouse  cd from Joanna Sheen I printed off

the image and a backing paper to match. The backing paper

I used to mat onto the card.

3. Taking one of the larger images I mounted it at an angle onto

            a piece of green card to match the border colour around the image.

Before mounting onto the card I wrapped a green ribbon 

around it.

4. In my stash I found some alphabet's and they were the perfect

colour to match the card, so I made up the the saying

Bath time Fun and placed then off set  to each other 

on the card using foam pads.

There you have it, quick fun little card.

Before I go I would like to  show you the card I

made for Linda & Rick as it was their anniversary

on Friday - Don't think she will mind me sharing?

And here is a photo of the box lid

The colour was Navy blue and white and the flowers were 

also Navy but they do look black.

Well my friends, time for me to go for today.

I will be back again tomorrow and I hope you will

visit me then.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Dreaming

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are you are all doing today, hope the weekend is going well.

Happy Valentine's Day to you all and hope your loved one is going to 

smother you will lots of love today.  If you don't have someone

special to share the day with, take heart you are not alone as long as

you have all your crafty family. We never judge you just try and

cheer one another up and share, listen to your troubles  and try to lend a helping hand.

Off shopping (nothing exciting only Food) then not sure  what we will be doing after

that.

Today I have again used a Sherri Baldy image, sorry but I cannot stop

using these images, I am in love with them.

DETAILS

1. Card is 6 x 6 scolloped edge and to this I have added

a piece of fawn coloured plain card.

2. Next using the Tonic die Elegant Vine Square and a sheet

of Hunkeydory patterned  card I created the backing.

3. The inner part of the die is shaped as a tag and I used

this to cut not only the image but two more  tags in

both the patterned and plain card and laid them at 

different angles on the  card. A blue spotted ribbon

was wrapped around the base before adhering to the card.

3. The image has been coloured using my new Copic pens

and I must say I love them and cannot wait to get the

rest of the set. The image is again one of the Sweet Geeks from

Sherri Baldy.

4. To complete I made a bow using the same ribbon and

added a blue flower brad. Since she had the word

Paris across her top I decided to add a metal Eiffel Tower

embellishment.

Hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you will

pop back tomorrow.

Until Next Time

Heart Shower

Good Morning 

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we all doing today? Wow I cannot believe it, yes I have another
follower- Chrissy welcome hun. I am so thrilled to be getting so many
new followers and I really am grateful for your support and love you all

If I have forgotten to mention any of you by name, please forgive
me, it was not intentional and if I have not returned the following just give
me nod on your next comment and I will make sure I do follow you.

Just to bring you up to date with my back pain - well went to see the physiotherapist

yesterday and basically they are not sure what is causing the pain but gave

me a massage, told me to take pain killers and not to sit to long, keep

moving around  but it the pain gets to bad rest up a little.

So I think its a case of get on with it- which if anyone knows me is exactly

what I do and will do. Go back on 4th March and we will see.

That's enough about that so let's get on with what matters (Crafting)

Today's card is again a Sherri Baldy Geek image

(Don't think you can tell that Sherri Baldy images are one of my top list Or can you )

DETAILS

1. Base card is 5 x 7 and I have covered the front with a 

piece of Lilac card.

2. The image has been coloured using pro markers and

then die cut using SB die Fanciful Lattice. I then cut

another  frame out of lilac patterned  card and attached

to the image frame a little off centre, to give a slight

shadow effect.

3. Made a bow from lilac organza ribbon and added a 

Daisy flower ( from the Works pk of 25 for £1.00)

Lilac gems and Lilac glittered  butterfly.

Hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you

will call again tomorrow as I love hearing from

you all.

Is It For Me

Good Morning/Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors
A very warm welcome  to Debbi my new follower and a big thanks for joining.

How are you doing ?  Well it's that time of the week again-

Wednesday and it sees the start of another new challenge  over at

Penny's paper Crafty Challenge Blog and this week the theme is

EMBOSSING ( CAN BE DRY OR HEAT EMBOSSING)

the choice is yours.

Our sponsor this week is the fabulous  Sparkle n Sprinkle

and their prise will be either 3 Digi images or sets from their SNS exclusive lines

winner to choose.

I am sure with all the embossing folders out there, we are going to see some

fantastic creations but should you need any inspiration, then our wonderful

design team have created some stunners. So why not pop over to the 

challenge take a look and maybe leave the ladies a little love while you

are there.

Here is my little bit of inspiration - hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Started out with an A4 sheet of white card and cut it down

to create an side easel card.

2. The first layer is plain black card,then a piece of white hammered

card, which I have marked around the edges to represent  stitches.

Next came the green card that has been embossed with block

squares, some are dotty and and the others are plain.

 (sorry I cannot remember the folder name). After that another

piece of black card then the image (Across the Miles which can

be found here) I have coloured the image with pro markers and 

die cut using SB Nestabilites Pearl Effect die.

3. The bottom of the card has again been layered using black

card, then the green embossed card.  The stopper 

JUST A NOTE has also be die cut using the smaller

SB Nestabilites Pear Effect die.

I must say I really enjoyed colouring this little guy and making this card. I

hope you will enjoy doing some embossing to showcase on our blog

 We will be waiting!!

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Quick post toady as I am going to try and do some housework if

my back will allow, so don't know how long it's going to take me.

Will be doing a spot of colouring this afternoon with Linda and having

a natter.

Another card today using  the Kanban collection

DETAILS

1. Using an A4 sheet  to make an A5 card I then 

covered it with backing paper from the kit.

2. I took a piece of craft card and using a SB die

cut it a little larger that the topper and adhered 

straight on the card.

3. The topper was then adhered to the card at an

angle.

4. The sentiment and banner were from my stash.

Hope you have enjoyed this quick card and 

hope to see you back tomorrow.

Until Next Time

He Love me, He Love Me Not

Good Morning 

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are all doing today - did you all have a good weekend?

I did quite a lots of crafting over the weekend and even surprised myself with

the amount  I did, guess the brain must have engaged fully.

Well I have to tell you folks,  I have also been suffering with really bad

backache since Thursday and its not getting any better, who said getting

old gracefully?.  I have been having trouble with my hip, back and leg

for a while and had physiotherapy, which on the first visit worked and

I got relief. On my second visit however, for reason know only to 

my body it came back again, thought nothing of it and hoped it would

sort itself out.  Wrong and its been getting worse each day then what

did Jennifer do?

Decided to have a walk on Thursday to town which is around a mile

away- not far I hear you say! when part of it is up  hill boy it's far.

By the time I got there, I was fit for nothing and yes I got the bus back.

Anyway to cut a long story short, I have made another appointment

and go back Wednesday Morning and fingers crossed she can sort

me out, Lord knows someone should as I am walking around like

a ruptured duck.

Moaning over, down to business, today's card is again made

using a Sherri Baldy image that I Won! sorry cannot remember her name.

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x8 card and  to this I added a piece

of co-ordination card that I had embossed with the 

folder Dry Stone Wall then sanded back to show the

core colour.

2. The image has been coloured using  Copic pens

and then die cut. I also cut a larger frame from

silver mirri board and mounted the image onto it.

3. A row of silver diamante hearts was added down the side,

three flowers and three silver  candies .

Well that's all for today folks, more tomorrow and

promise won't rant on about my back.

Hope you see you back tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope your weekend is going the way you planned?

A very warm welcome to Kate who is another new follower,
I am truly grateful to you all, I know I have said it before
but to have your support really really means a lot to me and
I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart.

Busy day today as I have DT work to sort out and want to get

on with some colouring.  So that means a day in the craft room for me.

After doing a spot of tidying the cupboard in my craft room last week

I came across a box and found it contained a load of Kanban kits, so

I have decided to make a few cards using some of it, seeing as I have

had the kit since January 2013, it's about time don't you think ,hehe.

There will be about 4 to start with over the next few days and here is

the first.  Apologies for the picture as its not very good, showing to dark
the colour is a lot lighter lilac. Well I never claimed to be David Bailey.

DETAILS

1. Base card is 8 x 8 and to this I have added a piece of

backing paper from The cottage garden paper pad by

Craftwork Cards.

2. Before adhering  to the base I wrapped two pieces of 

organza ribbon horizontally and vertically onto the 

backing paper and then created the chocolate  box

bow.

3. The topper is out of the Kanban collection and all

      I have done is add foam pads to give some dimension.

To complete the sentiment (Thank You) again part of the

collection has been added to the top.

There you have it, quick make but think it's quite elegant,

what do you think?

That's all for today my friends, hope to see you back

tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Morning 

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Are we going to enjoy the weekend? any special plans or just

chilling after a long week.
A very warm welcome goes to Christine my latest follower, well onward
and upward, getting a little closer to 100, now that would be an achievement
for me and fingers crossed I get there.

Well my friends, as you know I have been appointed a member of the 

design team at Creative Craft Cottage and today sees the start of

another new challenge.  In case you do not know the challenges

run on the 7th and 21st of each month.

  The theme for this

challenge is DIGI/  IN THE GARDEN and our lovely sponsor is

All Dressed Up and the prise will be :- 2 Digi Images

We would love to see you come on over and show us your wonderful

creations and should you need any inspiration, then our lovely

design team ladies have created some fabulous work.

Here is my make, hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Started with an A4 card and made it into a stepper.

2. I covered the front panel with backing paper from

my stash and then using my pro markers coloured

the gorgeous image from ALL DRESSED UP and

then used glossy accent on her glasses. She was

then fuzzy cut along with the sentiment.

3. Using Tattered Lace dies I cut the flowers and 

trees and coloured them using pro markers.

4. I die cut the trellis from satin card and adhered it

to the front panel before and using foam pads 

adhered the image to give some depth.

5. I arrange the  garden flowers along the front edge

and smaller flowers around the trellis. To the other

part of the stepper card I added larger single

flowers that I made using lilac and yellow card.

To finish off the garden  scene I added a trees

at the back.

There you have it, I do hope you will come and play

along with us.

As Always
