Fantasy for MAWTT

Good Morning All

MAWTT challenge is Fantasy, a theme chosen by one of my newer DT members, June.
I made two cards from the one page of decoupage.
This is the first one which I think I shall keep for one of the girls Birthdays.
All homemade embellishments.
Butterfly embossed Centura Pearl card.

And here is the second one.

Embossed card again.

A beautiful sentiment.

Another pretty embellishment.

Gift Bags

Good Morning All

I was asked by my friend Val J if I could make some more bags for her daughter to sell.

I love making these and decorating them.

These are just afew of them.

I think she fills them with choccy goodie or toiletries.

**********

I forgot to add these pics to the post yesterday of the gorgeous Paper Clips I received from my partner.

I think I shall use them to adorn a card or to add to a Junk Journal.

Altered Paper Clips Swap

Good Morning All

As you know, I am in a swap group on Facebook and the last one I too part in was to send Altered Paper Clips.

Well here are mine.

I used lots of bits of ribbon from Crafty Ribbon

you can but off cuts, great for this type of work.

This is a great way of using scraps too.

Also, if you make Junk Journals, a great way to add page marks.

I decorated both sides, that is why there are so many pics.

Sketch and Craft Club

Good Morning All

I gave the ladies at my Craft Club on Friday,  one of these lovely boxes made from a tutorial by Pootles.

I put two fragranced Tealight candles in each one.

*******

Quite an easy sketch this week

Three circles in a diagonal line.

And my interpretation.

I stamped my backgroung paper using JND stamps

This one, I used the free stamps with Stamping magazine and the papers too.

We are away tomorrow for afew days to a place called Altea.

We went there last year for the same price and  the deal was too good to pass up. 

99 euro for 3 nights, 4 days full board.

So I have scheduled a couple of posts.

Friends Birthday card

Good Morning All

I made this pretty card for a friends Birthday.

Centura Pearl card embossed with Fanfare folder from CE.

Johns Gerbera stamp and die, heat embossed in black and white.

I did originally make it for a sketch challenge but decided to keep it for a Birthday card.

Leaf element from another of Johns stamp sets.

Random pearls and some tiny butterflies.

********

John is on Hochanda on Sunday with some new releases.

This is the view in the very large park where I walk Rico sometimes .

A beautiful manmade lake, lots of geese and ducks so I have to be careful.

Twist card and Walking day

Good Morning All

My friend got a magazine for me with a Tonic Twist die included, Die Cutting Essentials 35.

Christina Griffiths does a great You Tube vid HERE

Trying to get a photo that show the twist or the flip in it.

I used elements of Johns stamps on these and all homemade embellishments.

*******

We had a lovely walking day at the rescue centre where we got Rico from on Sunday.

John took Rico and I walked this girl called Nat, she was a lovely dog and would make a great pet for someone.

A very good walker on a lead, unlike Rico who pulls.

There must have been about 50 or 60 walkers and we all pay 5 euro, so, hopefully they made lots of money.

Altered Choccy Box

Good Morning All

John always buys me a box of Ferrero Rocher chocs for Christmas or Birthday so I have afew empty boxes in the cupboards upstairs, (well they are not going to be full are they???)

Here is one I have decorated.

Started by decoupaging with paper first.

Then went on to decorate with ribbon flowers and lace etc. etc. 

This will go in my Christmas box ready to load up with goodies.

Sketch & Craft Club Gifts

Good Morning All

Sunday Dog Walk today so it will be a noisy morning for us!!!
It is a way the rescue centre raise fund, they charge 5 euro to walk, either your own dog or one of theirs.
I made some nibbles as they have a little stay behind after the walk and sell Tea, coffee and nibble to raise even more money.
I also gave them another box of cards to sell too.
*******
Onto todays card, it is for my sketch challenge.
I used 3 thin strips of embossed card.
Johns    stamp
My tiny butterflies and a stick pin.

The sketch for this week, can be  used either way, portrait or landscape.

***********

These are the gifts I gave out at Craft Club on Friday.

I found these in a supermarket, they are room smellies.

Little glass  jars with oil in and you add the sticks to them.

Tall and thin but great fun making the boxes for them and even more fun decorating them all.

*******
Dont forget, there is a little gift for a randomly drawn name for the Sketch Challenge.
