Happy Sunday

Good Morning All
These are what I gave my  Craft Club ladies on Friday.
)The boxes are made following a You Tube vid by Mixed Up Crafts HERE
The took me a while to do.

Abit awkward   getting the ribbon round.

I always tie with a good length of ribbon so they can use on other projects.

I added a dangle charm to each one aswell for them to use.

I made another tiny box to go inside.









Each containing a 'Fun'  treat of chocolate.

*****

This is the card I made for the sketch for them to follow this week.

It is from a Peter Rabbit decoupage sheet.

The sentiment is from one of JND sets.

The surround for the sentiment and the frog is mounted on a die cut from Sue Wilson Swiss collection - Zurich.

This is the inside .
I fussy cut around two of the images from the title on the sheet.

And another one I cut for the envelope.











And here is the sketch.

*************************

I have decided to show the cards the ladies make on here aswell as on my Facebook page.

This is from last weeks challenge.

I gave them each a sheet from a decoupage pad from Joanna Sheen and a  couple of wooden buttons.

This is mine with a tag too.

Sweet Treats for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is hosted by  Susan and the theme is Sweet Treats.

Some of you may know that I run a Craft Club here in Spain, and I give my ladies a little gift within a homemade box every week.

I made these boxes using my Envelope Punch Board.

Followed a Pootles   tutorial on You Tube.

I added a homemade gem for the closure.

I tied some gold ribbon around.

I make the bows big so that the ladies can use the ribbon on their own creations

Sponosr is

Marianne Designs.

Back to Craft Club today and I am looking forward to see the girls.

I,m not sure if I have already blogged this card, I made it for a friend and then realised I had already made one.

The card is from a pad I bought in B&M or somewhere like that.

The sentiments are from one of Johns sets.

All set onto pierced Squares and Ovals.

Tranquil

Good Morning All

We had a lovely weekend in Jalon, infact it was Benissa.

So quiet and tranquil, no traffic sound, just the birds, a donkey heehawing and the bees buzzing.

Fun in the pool Saturday afternoon.

 Breakfast Sunday morning.

The hosts cook for us if we want them to, which we did on Sunday morning.

Lunch on Sunday with some new friends. 

We tried Cocas, similar to a pizza.

The others stayed here.

John and I stayed here 

And this is the owners place.

I can well recommend this place if anyone wants to stay in a nice, quiet, peaceful pace in the Spanish countryside not far from Benidorm.

Groovi meets Pixie

Good Morning All

I love my Groovi, as you know, hope you're not getting too fed up with it!!!!!

I wanted to make some background papers to mat my parchment work onto.

I love adding it to  rainbow card or paper, it looks nice on a multi coloured background.

So I wanted to make my own.

Here are two different colours.

I think it looks ok too.

Blues.

 Red
& Gold

Pretty Paper

Good Morning All

I made this one afew weeks ago and the paper is from a pad I bought from Joanna Sheen, so pretty.

Each page is different shades.

This was when I was clearing the bits from my scrap box.

The die cut was cut before John Next Door moved back to UK.

A quick, easy card to go in the box for the charity.

Groovi Twosome

Good Morning All

My friend Liz is popping over this morning to give Rico a trim, she is a dog groomer in Scotland so she is doing the honours for us today.

I much prefer him trimmed and tidy with short fur, it has grown so quickly since we had him trimmed in March and it will be better keeping it short in the heat here.

********

I,m still enjoying my Groovi and buying more plates to play with.

This is on I posted onto the Facebook group to ask which they preferred.

With or without the tiny flowers.

It was a mixed response so I left them on.

Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

It was lovely to get back to Craft Club on Friday.

But I will be missing again next week as we are going away for the weekend with afew friends.

The gifts I gave out to the girls were Tea light candles in a pretty box.

This is the challenge this time and it will run for 2 weeks again.
I gave the ladies a sheet from this decoupage pad I got free from Joanna Sheen plus a couple of wooden buttons.
 Do with them what they wish.
If anyone wants to play along just use a sweet / cute image and add 2 buttons.
Just abit of fun.

I made a Tag with one of the images from the sheet.

I decorated the inside of the card with another of the images.

And with the last piece I stuck it on the envelope.

Have a good Sunday.

Settled back home

Good Morning All

Been home for a couple of days and we got Rico back home on Wednesday and today is my Craft Club, Yehhhh.

Decided to tidy my craft room so  in total chaos and cannot craft at all.!!!!
I need to empty a unit John Next Door gave me to make room for a free standing fan for summer.
So I have to find space for all the stuff  in it!!!!
How do you all store your stamps?
Inks and blocks?

********

Before I went away I was desperately trying to clear my scraps.

This is one I made.

Scrappy bow with seam binding and one of my smaller pins.

Left over piece of paper used on the inside.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
