Brighten My Day

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope you are all well and coping with these strong winds, when

I keeping asking myself are we going to get some nice warm weather.

Anyway lets not dwell on that subject, as otherwise we will all be

depressed for the day.

Not feeling 100% today, think might be starting with a cold as my head

feels mussy and I keep loosing my voice (some including my hubby

would say that's not a bad thing). Saying this I don't feel as bad  as

yesterday as I ached everywhere and felt so tired. In fact I came

back from Mums and fell asleep until go past 3.30pm and that my

friends is not like me as I tend to keep myself busy most of the time.

Anyway enough moaning for today, lets get on with things.

Hopefully tomorrow will see me better still, you the old

saying " You cannot keep an old dog down" well that me

folks. Today's card is another made using the new Eden

 Cd from Polka Doodles, hope you like?.

DETAILS

1. Started with 7 x5 card white card and matted this with

paper from my stash.

2. Next stage was creating the borders down the side and

for this I used the Tonic over the edge die. I cut them 

using pale green satin card, once cut I adhered them to 

the card at slight angles so that they would match my

next layer.

3. Using the Eden cd I printed off the backing paper and

one of the frames and matted the backing paper onto

pink card, rounded the edges and stuck it onto my card.

The frame that includes the sentiment You Brighten My Day

was then adhered flat to the backing paper.

4. The image is one of the Pre Coloured ones off the cd

and was printed off onto smooth card.  Using the SB

die Labels 47 I cut it out twice, once in pale green

satin card (to match the side borders) and the other

in white card. I then laid them cross ways to each

other and adhered the image into the centre.

Well that's me done, will be back later to do

my rounds of your blogs and my commenting.

Not going over to Linda's today as she is to busy, so will

have a play around hopefully later once all the household

boring chores are done.

Until Next Time

As Always

Olivia

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Well what a wash out this weekend is turning out to be. Wet and windy

just what we needed!!.

Hope you all remembered to put the clocks forward? 

Playing around in the craft room today I think, whatever you are are getting up to

enjoy.

Another Sherri Baldy to share today.

DETAILS

1. Card is 8 x8 and I have created an aperture in the front

and used acetate to give the window  effect.

2. The inside of the card has been matted using paper

from the cd Perfect Floral Companions from 

Creative Crafting World.

3. The image is called Olivia Oddsocks and I have coloured

her using Copics then die cut using an X cut large die.

I then inked around the edges with Tim Holts Peeled Paint

distress ink. The image was then adhered to the inside.

4. To take away the starkness from the front using the same

ink and one of the new stamps from Phil Martin I stamped

all around the edges.

To complete I added a butterfly, silver dome stickers and

flowers and leaves from my stash.

Well my friends that is all from me today, back again tomorrow

I Believe

Good Morning

 My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Well its Saturday, the weekend is here, anything exciting planned? or

will you just be chilling out.

I would like to welcome my newest follower Ladycakes and thank you for

following and I hope I can entertain and maybe bring a little inspiration as

we scroll through blog land.

Today I am sharing a card I have made using the new Eden Cd from

Polka Doodles.  If you like a bit of fairy fantasy, then take a look

at  this cd. I don't think you will be disappointed.

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x 8 card and matted it with pink

glitter card.

2. Next layer used was a piece of lilac flock paper that

has been sitting in my bit box for around 4 years

(I am not joking, it was one of those papers that

you just want to look at but not use)

3. The image is a pre- coloured one from the cd and I have

cut  out  the frame again in pale lilac card using the

SB Nestabilities Label 46 but only used part of the die

and I then adhered it over the image to act as the frame.

4. I used the Tonic Butterfly over the edge die and cut

four out of light and dark pink patterned paper 

and then adhered these down the sides of the card.

5. The top was created using Heartfelt Creations Raindrops on

Roses die again out the the same patterned paper as the

sides.

6. I have added a lace border along the bottom. The

sentiment (Believe in Love) that has been covered

down the side with mini flowers from Tattered Lace.

I also added the white flourish as I thought it 

needed something in that corner.

The flower was made using ribbon with a lilac brad

in the centre and I have used a scrap of lilac

 ribbon to create the tails. The pearls were made

 using Cosmic Shimmer PVA Purple Violet.

Hope you like and that you will call  back

soon and maybe, just maybe I might have hit 80 Followers

YOU NEVER KNOW.

Well my Friends, that's all from me today.

Until Next Time

As Always

Apologies for the photo, its not showing at its best.

DETAILS

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we all doing today?

I would like to welcome Ameera who is my newest follower and to thank her and

each one of you for taking the time to pop over to my little piece of blog land.

If I carry on maybe I can make 80!! who knows.

Well its Tuesday and as you all know by now ( seeing as I am a creature of habit

sad I know) but I cannot help it, it's household duties this morning, then I 

am spending the afternoon playing in my craft room as I will not be seeing

Linda today but no matter I am sure I can keep myself amused.

I am going to show you the last of the images I won from

Nicky Burnett, sorry I do not know her name, well saying that

I did know her name but I have this stupid habit of writing the

names on the back of the image and  then I forget to write it

on some paper before I make the image into a card. Yes I know

I am a silly old fool and one day I will write it somewhere else

but for now don't hold you breath, he he!!

DETAILS

1. Card is 8 x8 and I have matted a piece of card stock

from the new Phil Martin paper pad Decadent Damask

I love these papers they are beautiful.

2. The image was coloured with Copic's and then

I created the frame from a Martha  Stewart punch to

fit around the image.

3. Next I added a lace border down the side and created

the flourishes from the Tonic Flourish Die and placed

around the frame.

To complete I made the bow using lilac (although it 

looks pink in the photo) and added a dazzler into the

centre.

I hope you will call back soon

Until Next Time

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Are you all ready for another week- soon be Easter.

Quick post today  as it's Monday and I am off to Mums for the morning.

Today's card is yet again another Sherri Baldy, hope you like.

DETAILS

1. I made a stepper card using the die template from

Ruby Red Crafty and its so easy to use and you 

get a perfect stepper card every time. If you would like

to check it out use the link HERE.

2. I have covered the card with  this gorgeous 

card  from Kanban.

3. The image has been printed  onto super smooth and

coloured with Copic markers. Once done I went around

the edges with blue chalk. I have attached lace all around

the image before adhering it at an angle.

4. I used a thin  pink satin ribbon to create the bow and

left the tails long enough to go across the bottom of

the stepper. I then adhered two pink/white rose buds

to each end of the ribbon.

Until Next Time

I would like to welcome my newest follower DL'Art and I hope you enjoy

your visits.

A bit late today with my post as I have been getting cards ready for my blog

and having a tidy of my craft room.

Today card is one that I coloured up on Monday and I think the colouring is

my best yet, its true what is said Practice Practice or maybe it could just

be a fluke hehe we will see.

DETAILS

1. Started with 8 x8  card and covered it paper from the 

new range from Phil Martin Decadent Damask, as it 

was perfect to go with the image.

    2. The image was one that I won and is by Nikki Burnett 

and I think she is stunning. It was coloured using

Copic markers and then die cut using a SB die

 Once cut I inked the edges with Tim Holts Scattered Straw

and then  I sprinkled glitter around the edges for added effect.

 I also used glitter on the mask (sorry you cant see it very well)

3. To complete I added flat pearls around the edges added two

feathers and a green embellishment.

There you have it! Hope you will come back and

visit tomorrow.

and scalloped edged.

paper from my stash, next a black layer again and a piece of

gold mesh effect paper also from my stash.  Before these

were matted onto the card I took black ribbon and wrapped

it around and down.

a Tattered Lace die. I used the same die to cut two black 

frames and joined them in the middle to create a large frame

to encase the image frame. This was then adhered to  the

card using foam pads.

4. For the theme I used three pearl hearts and placed them

down the black ribbon.

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we today, bet your glad its Friday?

Well did you manage to view the Eclipse - only thing I saw was the

sky went overcast as though it was going to pour down and saw the

sun go behind cloud ,Ah well maybe next time it might be a bit more

exciting.

Today's make is something I have never done before Steampunk and

I must say I did enjoy doing it.

DETAILS

1. Card base is 8 x 8 and I matted it with paper from the Tim Holt

paper collection idea-ology. Before I adhered it to the card I

went around the edges and distressed them.

2. Next using Robert Adams dies Clock, Cogs and pocket watch

I used gold card to create them and adhered them to the card.

3. Next layer from my stash was also distressed and inked around

the edges and I adhered this at an angle.

4. The image is from Nikki Burnett and was one of three that

I won (I will show the others next week) I think she is a

stunner and really had fun colouring her with my Copic's.

She was then die cut using a SB die and I again inked

around the edges with Tim Holts distressed ink Vintage Photo.

To add more effect I took a piece of old chain and glued it to

look as though it was wound around the cogs and then added

a key to the bottom.

Well that is it from me today but I will be back tomorrow

with my DT head on for a new challenge over at

Creative Craft Cottage and it starts at 8.00am GMT time

I hope you have enjoyed todays blog and that you will leave me

a comment, because I really do read each one and appreciate

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

I hope you are all well on this chilly Foggy morning.

Did not realise how chilly it was until I took Oscar for his walk, I was freezing

and typical of dogs Oscar wanted to stop and sniff every gate post.

Hopefully it will turn out sunny like yesterday, as it was lovely in the sun, I even

managed to get some seed planting done.

Anyway onto to today's project, I have again chosen to use another

Bestie by Sherri Baldy and I think its one that I won from Holley

but not quite sure ( age getting the better of me)

I adore using the Besties as they are all so cute and fun to colour, hope you like

DETAILS

1. Card base is 6 x 6 and I have matted it with paper from

my stash.

2. I then used a Tonic over the edge die to create the border

down the side and the glittered it.

3. The image has been coloured with Copic markers

and the die cut using SB die Pearl Effects.

4. Two heart shaped doilies were coloured over before

adhering to the base. The image was then matted

onto the doilies at a slight angle.

5. I then took the Tattered Lace Kaleidoscope Corner

die and used purple card stock. I did not want to

use it as a corner I wanted it to balance out the

other side.

To complete I added ribbon flowers from my stash.

I hope you have enjoyed you visit and that you will leave

me some love before you go.

Hope to see you back tomorrow

Loving The Pollen

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Well its' Friday, another week nearly over, are you all looking forward to the weekend?

I see that I have another follower, Donna, thank you and I hope you will enjoy

your visits.  Just realised its Friday the 13th, hope you are not to bothered at that, me

I don't mind it as it's usually a day when everything just falls into place somehow.

Short post today as off to mums for the usual Friday clean up morning, then

home to get on with some crafting. Just to keep you posted, as you know my

cousin Mary visits on Thursday's but I am sorry to say she is poorly and

is in hospital with chest trouble. Fingers crossed that she makes a  speedy

recovery from this awful chest infection.

Today's make is again using part of the Hunky-dory kit that has been sitting

in a draw, not sure if its part of the Moor head but whatever it is I think

its quite cute and lets face it, with any Hunky dory kits you cannot

fail to create something really nice.

DETAILS

1. 8 x 8 pink card base and to this added a piece of

green card stock.

2. Using paper from my stash I wrapped a wide pink

organza ribbon around it and also a piece of fancy

lace before adhering it to my base.

3. Next came the yellow patterned paper that I die

cut.  The image is decoupaged and was laid

straight onto the die cut.

4. I created a large bow from the same organza ribbon

and adhered a large daisy (from my stash) into the

centre. 

To complete I added pink gems and a Birthday Wishes

sentiment.

That as they say is that for today anyway.

Hope to see you back soon, hopefully tomorrow

Until Next Time

Linda here this afternoon for a colouring session and as usual

coffee and biscuits. Oh what a gay day!!

Today I am showing you another  card made using the Hunky dory 

 Moorhead's collection.

DETAILS

1. Card blank is 5 x 7 and I have matted it with

a matching  card stock from the collection.

2. Next I took another piece of card cut to size and

created two tags, then adhered them to the base.

3. The image I have left in the frame as it  matches

 the base layer.

To complete I added the sentiment BACK OF THE NET.

Hope you have enjoyed your visit

More tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting

Flower Canvas

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Hope you are all ok and ready for the week ahead.

Off to Mums this morning, ironing later and then back to crafting.

As I promised yesterday, I am showing you today the canvas

that I made last week when Linda and I went to Kath's.

I had a fantastic day, Kath taught me a lot (if I remember it all

is another thing) and was a lovely hostess and made me feel

very at ease.

I would like to say a big thank you to both Kath and Linda

for a wonderful day.

I cannot take credit for the design as I just followed what

Kath told me to do, although I did place everything on

the canvas then asked if it looked ok before I glued it

all down.

The two little sentiments ready (top) Treasure and (bottom)

Time.

I had a fab time doing this canvas the only down fall

was using my hot glue gun as I managed quite a

few times to get hot glue on my fingers (not recommended)

I can now say that this little masterpiece has taken pride of

place in the living room and every time I  pass it I give

a little smile. Daft I know but what the heck I am proud.

Well folks that all I have time for today

hope to see you back tomorrow

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Well a bit of change to the weather today, so glad I decided to tackle my

garden yesterday. It was beautiful and quite warm in the sunshine and

oh doesn't it give you a lovely feeling to see the sun and feel its heat.

I am a happy bunny now that it's all done and tidy, seeds planted

just some more to sow and some to sow in the greenhouse.

So how are we all anyway, bet there is lots of crafting being done.

I have made a start on my DT work and managed to make some

cards using some Hunky-dory sets I found hiding in one of my

draws, so I will post them over the next week.

Here is the first one

DETAILS

1. Card is a 7.5" x 6" linen effect.

2. Using a piece of the Hunky-dory card I cut to

size and then wrapped a piece of blue violet 

satin ribbon around the centre, next I took

some lace and wrapped that on top of the

ribbon before adhering it all to the base.

3. The image has been decoupaged and placed

in the centre and to enhance it I have gone

around the frame with flat base pearls from

my stash, also adding them along the top

and bottom of the card.

There you go, easy peasy but I think very effect.

I will say that one thing about Hunky dory is

that you cannot fail to make some beautiful

cards.

Well that's all from me today, tomorrow I will

post my canvas that I made at Kath's last

Wednesday.

Until Next Time

As Always

My DT make has been made using the image Back To School Bobby

you can find him here and I hope you like what I have done.

DETAILS

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

2. Using black card I have embossed it with a brick effect and

then matted it onto the card.

3. The image has been coloured with Copic pens and then

matted onto a circular card that has also been embossed.

He has been placed at an angle to keep within the theme

and I have used foam pads to adhere.

4. Taking paper from my stash I have torn and placed at angle

behind the image and along the stopper.  There is also

a piece of torn map that I added.

5. The stopped has been created by using the same black 

embossed card but I have torn it to created the wavy

effect.

To complete I have added the two wooden letter from stash to create

the work HI as to me that is what he could be saying.

So my friends, I do hope you will join in and support us

looking forward to seeing  what you come up with.

Until Next Time
