Pariotic colours

Good Morning All

I tried posting this early today when I was up because I couldn,t sleep but blogger was having a hissy fit on me.

Please look at the blue flower on this because the shapes were given to me by John next door
 (I always put next door because my partner is called John too).  I made them into flowers on Wednesday night while footy was on and I thought they were so lovely I have saved some to put in my candy at the weekend.
I have stuck to shades of Red White and Blue for the challenges I want to enter

Sweet Tilda is holding a cup cake and a wooden spoon coloured with Promarkers and inked round edges
Round sentiment are from Jak Heaths Blog
Border is done with XCut border system
Doily round Tilda is a Square one pleated and glued around
Peeloff butterflies stuck onto acetate and cut out

Afew pics of the flowers

I shaped them with a large ball tool on an embossing mat and layered up.  You could use as many of little as you like but I think they are lovely.

Good Afternoon All

I have been busy this afternoon.  As I have said previously, I want to make afew special items for the craft table in July for the local people.

This card blank was one included in goodies I won from Docrafts for Star letter, it,s a 6 x 6  multi page one.  I think I will have to make a box for this one as it wont fit in the envelope provided.
I will not go through everything that I have used but it includes lots of bits I bought in USA years ago.  The papers are all freebies. The pram on the front is Forever Friends decoupage.  I have also put a tag in where the sender can enter the name, date and weight of baby.  I like doing this type of card because it enables me to use allsorts of bits from my stash.
I hope to be able to show people at the local fayre what I can make to order if necessary, but I will sell on the day too.

White Elegance

Good Morning All
Wow we had a great thunder storm in the night, gosh was it loud!!! And there must have been  dusty rain with it as everything is covered in red dust this morning.  John had to go down and bring the cushions off the outside sofa in. So this morning it is all muggy and clammy, so fans going full blast trying to keep dry and cool.  My daughter in law Facebooked me last night and asked if I could send her some sunshine, oh how I wish I could.  But I dont think she will want too much as she now only has five and a half weeks to go and I would imagine she is getting abit uncomfortable. 
I am putting together some CANDY to celebrate the birth and I will bring it with me to the UK in August (to post) when I come over to see baby.  I will post a pic as soon as I have it sorted, so I hope you will all join in.

It is time for a new challenge at Love to Create Challenge blog titled YOU MAKE ME SMILE and there must be something recycled on your creation

This week the sponsor is Sassy Studios Designs and they have such great digis.  You can win 2 of their designs if you win.   I chose 'Country Girl' and  had a great time colouring this one with my Promarkers.  We had to put something that was recycled so I pinched the doily from my plate when we had a coffee and biscuit last week, (I always do this - waste not want not is what I say) .  The pins I make are usually made from broken bracelets and necklaces too.

Hope you like it and will hop over and join in the challenge this week.

Good Morning All

What a day we had yesterday.  The builders started rebuilding the entrance to our complex, and, guess what, they split a water pipe which flooded down into the garage area.As our car and storeroom are at the same end as the entrance, our storeroom got the water.  Luckily, we got there in time to stop major damage but we spent about an hour brushing the water to the grids.  The water people were out within the hour to repair and put the water back on.  So all OK now.

Pale lemon A6 card blank
Quilled flowers made from goodies sent to me by my friend ChrisLee over on Docrafts site, she sent me a lovely box of flowers, paper strips to make flowers and those gorgeous green flourishes.  The flowers centres - Chris uses the strips of paper from her paper shredder- A girl after my own heart - waste nothing!!!!!!!
She also sent me some punched border strips, she is so kind,
and I used one as a mask to distress ink the pattern on each side.
