Just For You

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope everyone is well and coping with this strange weather.

Yesterday looking out the window, you would be forgiven for

thinking Oh what a beautiful day, then out you go and its 

freezing (well for me anyway then  I am cold even when we

are having a hot day LOL).

Today I have made a card just for the heck of it!

hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Card size is 7 x 7 and I have matted it with black card. Next

layer is  from papers pad from Phill Martin and before I

adhered it to the card I took a piece of red satin ribbon

added a slider and place across the card.

2. The flower swirls and sentiment are all from Heartfelt

Creations and are the Sunrise Lily Swirls and Sunrise

Lily Wishes.  I stamped these out and embossed with

black embossing power.  There are also dies to cut

out the Sunrise Lily swirls which I have used but the

 spray on the right next to the sentiment did no have

 a die so  this was hand cut.

3. Having a sort through my draws I came across some

 Derwent watercolour pencils that I must have bought

 over 12yrs ago and though maybe time they had an

 airing.  I am not very good using pencils but thought

 I would give it a go and I am quite pleased with the 

result.

Well my friends, that all from me today

maybe see you tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Visitors and Follower,

Hope everything is fine for you all?
Not long to go before this month is out,  do hope the
weather starts to warm up a little.

Today we are starting our new 

challenge  # 203  over at :-

  Ooh La La Challenge Blog

The challenge theme is

Photo Inspiration

and its been chosen our lovely Allison

I have chosen to use an image from the

Shaun Jenkins Collection cd
This is such a versatile cd and there are
design's to suit almost any occasion on it.

You can purchase it and others by clicking on 

the link   HERE.  There are also some great
freebies too,  so well worth checking it out.

The prize for the winner will be

2 digi downloads from the Ooh La La Creations Store

Here is my card and I hope you like my interpretation
of the photo.  The team and I cannot wait to see
what you create but if you feel you need some inspiration
then pop over to the challenge blog and see what
the girls have come up with.

DETAILS
1. Using a 7 x 7 card I matted it with sliver mirri board and
two papers from the cd Shaun  Jenkins Collection that
co-ordinate with my chosen topper.

2. Before adhered to the card I laid a piece of satin ribbon
across the centre to conceal the join in the two papers.

3. I took my topper and mounted it onto more silver mirri
board and punched the corners with my X Cut punch.
Using foam tape I mounted it to the centre of the card.

4. The corners were cut using a Tonic corner die and
silver  mirri board.  I searched through my stash and
came across this silver card that is a peel off and
new it would be just perfect to add to the bottom.

To complete I used some die cut flowers from  Tattered  Lace,
coloured them and added them to the card.  I used pearl
gems for their centres.

So there you go, my take on the photo inspiration!.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

Thanks for the visit and the comments

a doily and then using another paper from Verity Rose

I die cut the spotty frame. Again this was placed at

The season that I like the best is Summer, Long days, sunshine
the garden looking its best and hopefully lots of sun and heat.

For my card I have used an image from the House Mouse Triple
cd from Joanna Sheen. Sorry picture is a little dark, camera
playing up.

DETAILS

1. Started with a 7 x 7 card and matted it with  Lilac card
and backing paper from the cd that matched the topper.
Before I adhered them to the card I rounded the edges
and secured a piece of ribbon diagonally across the card.

2. I mounted the sweet image onto another piece of lilac
card and adhered to the card with foam tape.

3. To add a little extra, I added glitter onto the flowers on
the backing paper and on the water on the topper.
( Not showing up but I assure you its there)

To complete I added the sentiment also from the cd and
three pearls in the top corner.

So there you are, my card that depicts summer for me
as looking at the topper you can just image the sun
beating down on those adorable mice.
