Bring Me My Dream

Good Morning

My Crafty Friend Followers and Visitors

Hope this finds you all well and coping with the cold weather.

I have to go to mum's today, just hope the roads are not to slippery, as I 

hate driving in snow or ice.  I will have to check out the street before

getting the car out and if its slippery I will just have to take a long

walk.  I would rather trundle along like a ruptured duck and take

my change on not falling on my backside than drive my car and skid.

I have only ever skidded once and it frightened the life out of me

and since then I will not take the risk.

Hey if I walk I can honestly say I have done my exercise for the day

as its about a 4mile walk to my mums, not saying what condition I

will be in when I get there and will defiantly need a sit down before

I start doing her housework.

Today my card is a  Josephine Wall decoupage by Joanna Sheen

from a cd that I purchased quite a few years ago.

DETAILS

1. Card size 5 x 7 and I have matted it with black card

and a backing paper to match the image from the cd.

2. The image consists of 5 layers, (sorry the photo is not

very bright but the image itself is dark ) and I have

matted it also on black card before adhering to the

base.

3. To complete I have added one of the sentiments that

came with the image.

That is all for today my friends, more tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

I'm Coming

Good Morning

My Crafty friends, followers and visitors

Boy it's chilly and yes we have finally been hit with the snow, not much yet

and hope not much more and just to prove it here is photo of my back garden.

I do hope wherever you are  you are managing to cope with the cold

Lets keep thing Spring is round the corner !!

Well Again I would like to welcome more followers to my little blog 

Amy, Kev and Jo, thank you so much for following me. I really

am overwhelmed  by all your support .  If I have missed thanking

anyone, please forgive me, I love you all.

Today I hope to get on with some crafting for myself as I have

just scheduled some of my DT work so now I can concentrate

on playing and here is a card I made last night, hope you like?

DETAILS

1. My usual size card 8 x 8 and I have matted with pink

satin card and  backing papers from my stash.

2. Before attaching to the card I added a pretty flowered ribbon

(from the bargain bucket at Range). I think it very pretty.

3. The image is from the cd Sweet Geeks Besties and I have

used pro markers to colour her. I then used a SB die to

cut out the image. I love Bestie images they are such

fun to colour and I will be showcasing more over the next

few days.

4. To complete I have made a bow added a butterfly to 

the centre of it .  A row of butterflies added to

the bottom and the sentiment. 

Hope you have enjoyed your visit and

hopefully see you back tomorrow.

Until Next Time

Good Afternoon and Welcome

My Crafty friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we all today - getting ready for the weekend?, I hope it's a good one

and whatever is on your agenda, just remember to enjoy !!

I would like to welcome my new followers and hope you enjoy your visits to my

little blog and I send big hugs to you all.

I have some news to share with you, I have been asked to join another Design Team

and its Creative Craft Cottage - how cool is that? boy I am amazed to think  that

I have not been up and running a year yet and already I am now on 4 Design Teams.

Its so exciting when this happens and I must say it boosts your confidence  no end.

I will be taking up my post with their next challenge which is on the 7th February

but the challenge is already up and running for January, so why not jump on over

to their blog and see what's going on?

Back to today and I thought I would try a new venture - doing a bit of art -

For my first attempt I think I have done Ok- what do you think?

DETAILS

       1. The MDF heart is from the works and at only 99p was a snip.

2. I covered the whole heart with white gesso and once dry I

       took a stencil ( one of Imagination Crafts) and used one of 

the Imagination Crafts Silkies (Red Satin) to create the 

scene.

3. At this stage I must say I just stood there looking at it waiting

for some idea as to what to do next. HA HA I thought I 

wonder is gilding wax would work (Well I did tell you

I have never done anything like this before) so in for a penny

in for a pound out came the wax and I gently rubbed it on.

4. Again the same question and blank look on my face What to do?

then I remembered these sentiments I had purchased from Tonic

so with Shiny red card I die cut out three and adhered then

to the heart.

5. To complete I adhered pearls around the edge, placed a

key embellishment and tiny red silk flowers (from my stash).

And there is my little piece of Art work !!

I do hope you have enjoyed your visit and that you will call

again soon.

Until Next  Time

As Always

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends. Followers  and Visitors

Hope my little blog find you all ok and able to cope with the weather.  Some

of you must be experiencing some serious conditions and I hope you are

all keeping safe and warm.

In my part of the world (Cheshire) its not too bad at present. We have it cold

but lovely sunshine in the daytime, you could be forgiven for thinking its

spring , that is until you go outside.

Once again I must extend a very warm welcome to my new followers, I am

excited when I see that another visitor  has decided to join my little band and

I hope I can keep you all entertained and maybe, just maybe give you some

inspiration along the way.

DETAILS

1. 8 x8 white card stock and to this I have added a piece of

silver mirri board that has been embossed with one of the

new Tattered Lace folders- the name is ALL OVER FLOURISH.

2. Before adhering to the card I wrapped a piece of lace around

the mirri board.

3. The image is one of  Norma J Burnell's and she is called

                 Firefly and I have coloured her with pro markers and used glitter

             on her wings and on the fireflies. Then it was die cut using SB

    Regal Frame. The edges have be inked using Versa Magic

 Purple Hydrangea.

4. I layered the image on an angle onto three paper dollies

before attaching to the card and attached Lilac flowers 

from my stash down one side.

To complete I added the sentiment that I again inked with Purple  Hydrangea and

there you have it ! Sorry  the picture quality is not so good but I could not

brighten it anymore because of the refection from the mirri board.

Well my dear friends, that is it for me today, hope to see

you all again tomorrow as it will be my inspirational  DT post

for Penny's Paper Crafty that starts at Noon tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Angel Moon

Good Morning

My Crafty friends, Followers and Visitors

Hope you are all well and coping with the weather?

Just had to make this, the image has it was sitting on my desk crying to be

created - hope you like?

Off to mums today, a few things to sort out then back home and hopefully wing my

way into my craft room and Play!

DETAILS

1. Created the card by using SB Grand Big Scalloped Ovals, cut

two out of cream card then joined them.

2. Using the striped card I again used the same die ( only the next

size down) to create the backing. The card was in my stash

and I was amazed to find it matched my card perfectly( how many

time have we been able to say that, all the bits we save, then once

we start to find a match for a project, hey presto YOU HAVE NONE

that will go but not this time YIPPPPPP.

3. The image is a Tatty Twinkle and has been coloured with my pro

markers before cutting it out using with a SB Lacy circle die.

I then distressed the edges using Tim Holt's Scattered Straw ink.

4. Using a smaller SB Lacy Circle die I cut the sentiment and

again distressed it with the same colour ink.

5. Before attaching the backing card I wrapped a yellow spotted

ribbon around. Next I took two paper dollies and fixed them

at angles allowing me to adhere the image in the centre, using

foam pads. Foam pads were also used to adhere the  sentiment

tag.

6. To complete using Cosmic Shimmer Summer Blue PVA

I created pearls all around the edge of the card, the image

and the sentiment. Although you cannot see in the picture

I have added glitter to her wings and on the stars.

Well my friends, I must call it a day for today,

but do call again tomorrow if you can.

Until Next Time

Sugar & Spice and all thing nice.

DETAILS

1. Card size 8  x 8 and I have rounded all the corners. I

have then added a piece of blue mirri board.

2. Using white card I have embossed it then overlaid it

on the mirri board. Again I used the mirri board cut

down to fit just behind the image.

3. The image as I have already said has been taken from

the Crafters Companion Cd Sugar & Spice and just

altered to fit just in front of the mirri board panel. Before 

attaching to my card I laid blue and pink ribbon

around the panels and then created a bow.

4.  Tonic Flourish die and the blue mirri board used for the

flourish (one of my favourite flourish dies) and to this

I added pink flowers from Sweet Lilac. Blue gems

  were added to the flowers and also on the flowers on

 the  dress.

Good Morning, My crafty friends, followers and visitors

How are we all today?

Busy day today, domestic chores and washing this morning, then this afternoon

I will be rekindling  an old hobby  (crocheting), by this I mean I will be

trying to remember what all the stitches are with the help of my friend Linda,

who will be giving me instructions.

I of course will be supplying the coffee and biscuits (whoops did I say biscuits)

well maybe one !!

As promised yesterday I have another offering today - hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Card size is 5 x 7 scalloped edge and I have a piece of handmade

paper at the top and orange embossed (spotted) card at the bottom.

Before matting these I placed an orange ribbon around the centre

to hide the join.

2. The image is a Sherri Baldy, (sorry I have forgotten the name)

and I have coloured her using my pro markers. Although you 

cannot see very well I have glittered the little dots around the

frame before adhering her to the card at an angled position.

3. Using a Tattered Lace flourish die and white card I cut

out the flourish and then coloured it to match the image.

4. To complete I added the sentiment (Happiness in Life is to

Love and Be Loved) in the bottom  right hand corner and

a metal butterfly charm.

And that's as they say IS IT for today anyway

I hope you will visit again tomorrow as I will be

showcasing my DT card for Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge

that starts tomorrow at Noon.

Until Next Time

As Always

Good Morning My crafty friends, followers and visitors

Yes it's me again two days in a row WOW must be getting my head round things

at last.  I do aim to blog everyday but one reason or another it never seems to

happen but I think I have enough makes to blog each day this week.

Well I hope you are all well and having a good day so far.

Off to mums today then doctors this afternoon, Hopefully be able to do a little

more crafting later (fingers crossed)

DETAILS

1.  Card base is 5 x7 fancy edged cream card.

To this I have added a piece of lilac ( I know it looks blue)

patterned paper.

           2. The image is from the Norma J Burnells collection and is

      called Mid Summer Dragonfly and I have coloured her 

  using my pro markers, then added glossy accent to 

the flowers, her eyes and the dragonflies wings

 I have then die cut her using SB die Labels Twenty

   Isn't she just adorable?

3. Using lilac satin card I cut another die using the 

same SB die, cut in in half and placed each

piece at either end of the image.

4. I then took more of the lilac  card stock and cut a

border using the Tattered Lace die Trellis Border.

5. With silver  ribbon I threaded it along the border

die before adhering to the card.

To finish off I took some dragonflies that I had in my

stash and used clear gems to enhance them. I added

a bow with a silver  and gem centrepiece.

Thanks for visiting and hope you will call again very soon

Until then

As Always

Let's go Walking

Good afternoon, my crafty friends, followers and visitors

How are we all doing today, relaxing crafting I hope. 

 The weather has been awful but or some of you it must have been frightening,

 the winds are sure getting stronger. I have never know weather  like it before

 and if you have been affected by it -

my heart goes out to you.

Anyway on a lighter note I have been playing around on the computer and

found a Cd with some Art Deco work on it, so I thought hey ho lets make

a card using some of these images, so here it is, hope you like?

DETAILS

1. I started out with an 8 x8  card and I  made it into an easel card.

2. From the cd I took the image  and the corresponding backing 

paper. I decoupaged the image and added a purple feather

  trim around it.

3. Using silver mirri card I created a frame then added the pale

blue paper. Another frame was made and this time I added

the patterned paper before adhering  all the card.

4. The image was then added to the card and to add more interest

I added two blue feathers a pearl embellishment, two pearl

stick pins, and pearls down the sides.

5. Again using the the mirri board and patterned paper I created

the stopper to which I added the sentiment Best Wishes and

Pearls.

well that's me for today

As Always

Until Next Time
