Not Quite My Size

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Well today I celebrate my 65th Birthday, as its Monday I will
be over at my Mums for the morning and this will be the
first time in years that I get to spent time with mum on my birthday.
I know she is looking forward to that, so I think a bit of cake has
to be the order of the day, sod the diet LOL.

Now down to business!!!

Welcome back for another challenge over at
 Dream Valley 

The challenge runs every fortnight , posted every other Monday.

The theme for this fortnight's challenge is 

                              Feeling Blue/ Use The Colour Blue                                     

                                 and we are sponsored this fortnight by

Sherri Baldy

We would love you to come and join in

can be entered and you must link back to our blog.

The lovely ladies  over at Dream Valley have created some

fabulous creations for your inspiration, so why not pop on

over to the  DREAM VALLEY blog and have a peep.  

The image I have used is Image 923, You can purchase it HERE
please forgive the photo I don't know why they are showing up
dark as when I take them they look fine. Sorry.

DETAILS

1. Using a 7 x7 card I matted a quarter of it with embossed
dotty card.

2. With my Tonic square dies I die cut two out of blue card. I
then added a doily between them and a piece of blue
crochet ribbon across them both. They were then adhered
to the base using foam tape.

3. The image was printed out and coloured with Copic and
then die cut using Tonic Elegant Ovals, before I removed
it from the die  I used Pan Pastels over the background.
It was then mounted using foam tape.

4. The flourish was cut with a Tattered Lace die and again
I used Pan Pastels to colour, this was then added just
under the image frame,

5. Still using the Elegant Ovals I cut the sentiment tag
and added the word using the Tattered Lace Alphabet.

To complete I added an assortment of blue flowers from my stash.


So come on, lets see what blue creations you come up with.
Remember it can be anything you choose as long as it
uses the colour BLUE.

Until Next Time
As Always

  using my pro markers, then added glossy accent to 

the flowers, her eyes and the dragonflies wings

comments.

So what have you all been up to? me I have done the usual today food shopping

for mum and ourselves and now in my craft room having me time while hubby

is watching TV and keeping an eye on Oscar (our Pekingese) as he had an op

yesterday to remove 4 cysts from his back.  Luckily they are not serious

but the poor little thing is looking so sorry for himself and now has 4 bald

patches on his lovely fur. 

I will attached a photo of him to the bottom of this post and if you see

the light patch near his back end that is one of the cuts. 

Today's card is using one of  the new Tattered lace dies

black card.

2. I die cut the bird houses using the new Tattered Lace die

 (Birdhouse Heights) out of white card and adhered it to the

black background. To add a little more interest to the  back

       ground I used a glitter pen around the edges to simulate stitches

3. Using a word die (sorry cannot remember which one it is )

I cut the words NEW HOME  and adhered then and that is it!

Well this is a nice simple card and I hope you like

So until next time my friends

Christmas Stepper

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

I hope everyone is fit and well on this lovely sunny September Morning.

No you are not dreaming, yes it's morning and I am doing my post, I am

trying to get myself into a routine and trying to do my blog early (don't

know how long it will last before I end up back doing it late afternoon/

early evening).

Anyway I have pretty much the day, well late morning and all afternoon

to myself once I go and sort out mum the rest of day is Mine!!

So down to business, today my card is Can you Guess, maybe the

title will give a clue! No - well it's Christmas, oh I hear you say

but come on not a lot of time left, so if you have not started,

then oh boy!.  Anyway here it is hope you like?

DETAILS

1. The stepper card was made using the fabulous stepper die

     from Ruby Red Crafts, if you have not got it, then please 

take a look and if you can buy, its so simple to use and 

will give a perfect card every time and NO Measuring.

The card base is cream.

2. Using the die panels ( yes that's also included) I cut then

out using green mirri board and then adhered then to to

the base card.

3. The poinsettia was cut with a Spellbinder die out of cream

glitter card (sorry but looks pink on picture). The pine

was done with the Tattered Lace Christmas Pine die and

I again used  cream card.

4. The sentiment again was die cut with  Tattered Lace die.

And there you have have it, quick, easy but I think very

effective Christmas Card. ( I will be  making more

like this to sent out to family and friend)

Well my friends, that's me done for today, Well 

blogging at least.  Hope to see you all again

very soon.

As Always

Winter's Evening

Good Afternoon, my crafty friends, followers and visitors

How are we all today, weather not been to bad managed to get my garden done

and boy does my back know it.

              I told you the other day that hubby was taking me out for the day and would 

             not tell me where, well I can tell you we went to Quarry Bank Mill in Styal

          Cheshire ( it's about 40 mins drive from us).    If any of you are watching 

          The Mill on Sundays thats the mill that its based on and some scenes have

       been filmed there, mostly where the machines are.  We has a super day 

and its a nice place to visit, lovely gardens, nice cafe and the weather 

 was kind to us, what more can you ask for.

Well today I thought I would share another Christmas card with you again

using the Tattered Lace window Die (I do like this die)

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x 8 scolloped edged card to which I have

added another piece of card that I have embossed with a snowflake

design.

2. To enhance the snowflakes I have used Pinfliar Buff-it in Silver.

Before the panel was mounted onto the card I took  a piece of

tartan  ribbon and wrapped it around.

3. Using red mirri board I cut out the window with the Tattered

Lace Window die, I then took a winter scene from Robert Adams

CD Christmas Trees cut it down to fit behind the die then

adhered it to the card.

4. The pointsettia was cut using the Spellbinder die out of cream

centura pearl card and glittered (although its not showing up)

a red gem was added to the middle.  The flourish was again cut

using the same centura pearl cream card and also glittered.

  5. To complete I used the Tattered Lace Winter Wishes die for the

           sentiment  and  added another piece of ribbon that has the greeting

 Merry Christmas printed on it.

Well my friends I am afraid that is it for today, hope you enjoyed 

your visit.

Until Next Time

is yet another Christmas card (well it's something we all have to get going with )

so hope you like?

piece of silver  mirri board which I have embossed using 

one of LeCreaDesign embossing folders - Art nr. 35.9753

these out of red mirri board.

to the window frame before adhering to my card.

Lace and was cut from the same red  mirri board.

DETAILS

Started with 8 x8 scalloped edge white card, the using a piece of

 adorable  Scorable  backing card from the Hunkydory Pretty Petals

range I took a piece of lace and adhered it around the card before

mounting it onto my card.

Postcard Toppers and placed at angles onto the base backing card.

The rose is also from the Pretty Petals kit and has been decoupaged

and then mounted flat onto my card.

distressed.  I then added a gold border and using

foam pads for height I  stuck  it to the backing paper.

Summer Fun

Good Evening my crafty friend,followers and visitors,

Not had much time to craft this weekend as its flown by and things have been a bit hectic. Firstly
going back and to to see mum, who by the way is improving and is now eating although her back
pain will not ease, hopefully she will be able to cope. Secondly my dear Hubie yesterday
decided he would vacuum out his car and whilst cutting the cable tie on his hoover, yes you have
guessed he managed to slice the top of his finger with the Stanley knife.  Men being men he told
me to just plaster it up.  This happened around lunch time and by 8pm I was winging him to
A & E as the bleeding would not stop and he ended up having three stitches (MEN), so by the
time we got home it was after 10pm. Hey Ho that's life, anyway I hope you like my creation.

DETAILS

1.  8 x8 white card blank to this I added  navy  card.

  2.   A smaller backing card in red was added on top 

of the navy card.

3. I then die cut another navy card using the Spellbinder

Grand Circles.

4. Once the circle was cut I then pleated red dotted ribbon

all the way round the edge.

5. Using white card stock I die cut the Ferris Wheel the

Helter Skelter and Carousel using the Tattered Lace

dies and then backed them onto red card.

6. The sentiment was created by using the Tattered Lace

alphabet and mounted onto navy card an then

mounted using foam pads.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and I would you to leave a

comment.

Until next time, Take Care and Happy Crafting.

Playtime

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well?. 

 The weather here is not very nice today as it's raining but

 I will be able to play in my craft room without looking out and thinking I need to be in the

sun.  Once again its Thursday (my how the weeks are flying by) and Mary my cousin will

be coming over, not sure how much crafting we will do as we have to go out first.  Anyway

my friends whatever you are are up to hope you have a good day. Today.s card is again a

stamped one - Hope you like?

DETAILS

Card is made from white card stock and measures 20cm, I scored at 10cm

to create the panel.  Next I embossed the front panel with a Sheena

Douglass  Taste of India embossing folder.  The inside panel has been

covered with a backing paper from the Tattered Lace magazine ( think it

was issue 1).  I then die cut the tree using the Spellbinder Flutterby Tree

and cut extra butterflies for the front panel. The image I coloured using

Pro-Markers then mounted onto a piece of Hessian before attaching to

the card. For the  finishing details I added buttons and a bow from my

stash and placed the extra butterflies around the image. The sentiment

was stamped onto white card and die cut using  part of a Die'sire 

Magic Mirror die.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge

I love Pro-markers  #220 Anything Goes

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you will come back soon.

Hey Girlfriend

Good Morning followers crafty friends and visitors and welcome to my blog, I hope you are all well
and enjoying the sunshine today, let hope it lasts. Today I have created another card using a stamped
image.

DETAILS

I took an A4 Cream card blank and mounted black card onto it, then

covered with a backing paper from Creative Expressions. The image

was coloured again using Pro-markers and distressed around the

edges with Antique Linen by Tim Holt's, I then mounted it onto

black card and attached using foam pads to the card.  The flowers

were cut from black card using Tattered Lace Mini Blooms die

and then I added glitter which gave the blue glitter effect.  These

were then mounted onto to the card .

I do hope you have enjoyed your visit and I would love to read

any comments you may wish to leave.

Until next time, Take Care ands Happy Crafting

My Little Friend

Good Morning Crafty friends,followers and visitors,

Well what a week its been for me, mum has been laid up in bed due to problems with her back which meant I have been going to her everyday from early morning until late afternoon. I had to get the doctor back out on Wednesday and its been decided that she  needs to go into a  rehabilitation centre to try and her back onto her feet, she will be there for 2/3 weeks and hopefully they will be able to help her out.
So my friends hence why I have not blogged, but I have managed to get a make done, yet again I have had a go at stamping ( I will get the technique if if the last thing I do). I do hope you like.

DETAILS

                     A4 Card stock embossed, I then added my stamped image

               which had been coloured using Pro-markers, then die 

           cut using a Spellbinder die. Card was finished off

by adding a bow from my stash.

                      The sentiment is made up from a Tattered Lace Alphabet Die.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit today, and I love reading your comments.

So until next time, Take Care and Happy Crafting
