My Gift

Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we today?, quick post today as lots to do on the domestic chores

side of my life.

How are all your Christmas  preperations coming along, hope you are not getting

to stressed out.  I am well on the way, all the presents are bought ( I think)

just waiting to be wrapped, card's posted and will be starting to put up

the decorations this weekend.

DETAILS

1. Started with blank white card 7.5 x 6 inches and rounded the corners.

2. Using centura pearl card I embossed using a Tattered Lace embossing

folder then inked the embossing using Tim Holts Scattered Straw. I

then mounted it onto red mirri board and again rounded the edges.

3. The image was stamped onto white card then fuzzy cut and coloured

with my pro markers and adhered to the card.

There you have it, simple little card, hope you liked

Until Next Time

As Always

Missing You

Good Morning my crafty friends, followers and visitors

Hope you have had a pleasant weekend and achieved everything you wanted to do.

Well it's finally here DECEMBER not long to go now, hope your shopping is going

well and that you are not getting to stressed.

As promised another card from me today and I have gone yet again with the

vintage theme.

 DETAILS

1. Card size is 8 x 8 and I have layered with  Kraft Card that

I distressed and inked using Tim Holts vintage photo.

2. The image has been created in MCS and again I have distressed 

the edges using the same ink.

3. I have wrapped brown ribbon and lace around the bottom before

adhering to the card at an angle.

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

and lace, added two pearl stick pins and cream flowers. Pearls

have been added to the lace border and at the right hand corner.

Until tomorrow

As Always

ink.

2. The image is one I had lying around and its from a Joanna Sheen  vintage

cd.  I have  also distressed it before mounting it onto black  card again

distressing the edges.

3. Using the same Tim Holt ink I distressed a piece of ribbon then wrapped

it around the photo at an angle before I adhered it to the card.

and stuck a row of pearls down the centre.  To complete I added a

Quick post tonight as thing's to sort out and need to settle down for the evening.

pearlescent card and created inverted corners before adhering

cd entitled Dawn Chorus.  The backing paper has also had each

corner inverted and I have placed cram ribbon across the middle

and down the left hand side.

also cut another one using the same pale blue  pearlescent card

Good Morning my crafty friends, followers and visitors

Well nearly the end of another week - anything exciting planned for the weekend?

As it's Friday I am off to mum's to do domestic chores and then this afternoon

I hope to get back into my craft room because as I said yesterday I am trying

to make a card a day and to blog each day.

I hope our American friends enjoyed their Thanksgiving  and managed to meet

up with their families.

Well today I have made my card using the Lelli-Bot Twit Twoo collection, hope you like

Details

1. Card base is 8 x8 and I have matted it with a piece of gold card.

2. Using papers from the collection I then matted these onto the

           gold card.  The next step was to wrap lace down and across card.

   3.  Then I placed one of the toppers from the collection at an angle

      and completed by adding a bow and placing pearl hearts at each

     end of the ribbon and an owl charm at the centre of the bow. The

sentiment also from the collection was added at the bottom.

Everything apart from the card base is from the Lelli-Bot store

click here to go to the site, you will no be disappointed  I promise.

Well my friends, that's all for today
hope to see you back tomorrow
Until Next Time

Nice Hat

Morning My Crafty Friends, Followers and visitors

Yes your eyes are to deceiving you, I am doing a new post and not for

any DT work but just for myself.

It's been a while since I have managed to post two days on the trot as I

always seem to have something else that need doing, then before you

know it its evening and to be honest all I want to do is chill out in

my chair and usually fall asleep.

I hope I can rectify this and I am going to make myself make  a card

each day and post it and I hope you will all support me with your

encouraging comments.  We all know that the comments we send each

other really gives us a boost and makes us want to go on and create

more.

Another reason I have been out of action quite a lot is that I have been

doing wedding invitations for a friends daughter, as a wedding present

from me and it has taken a lot of time.  Sorry cannot show you any

but will do so next year.  what with that and Christmas I have been

meeting myself coming backward hey ho that's life.

Well down to business, here is my little offering - hope you like?

DETAILS

1. Card size is 8.5 x 5.5 inches and is from my stash

2. The next layer is blue pearlescent card and to

this I have added patterned papers in orange and

blue.

3. The image is from the cd My Besties "TM" and

          I have used pro markers to colour her. She was then

die cut using SB Labels Eight.

  4. Before adhering to the card I have backed her with

a paper doilie and to complete I have attached

paper flowers and three sparkle stickers.

Well that's all my friend for today, more tomorrow

As Always
