Embossing for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts challenge time again and the theme is Embossing, Wet or Dry.

I cut Sue Wilson Magical Butterflies from  card and acetate done with Pixie Powders, then cut the top part of the butterfly from black card and double heat embossed with Holographic emboss powder.
I mounted these onto S/B scalloped Ovals.
Then onto white embossed card which I just could not get to photograph at all.

I lifted the wing on this one to show the pixie powdered acetate underneath.

Baby Baby

Good Morning All

I made abit of a boobie yesterday, I posted the same card as Wednesday.

Dont know how it happened must have been a senior moment!!!!

But thanks for the comments anyway.

***

I made these two cards yesterday.  

It's very seldom I make shaped cards but I saw this when I was browsing around Pinterest and thought I would have a go.
I got the two from a piece of A4 Hammered card.

I hot glued and gathered the ecru trim.

Do they need any more on?

I have put 'Congratulations'  inside.

Looking forward to my craft club today, although Lyn and a couple of others not there but the two Vals will be so time for a catch up.

More Scraps

Good Morning All

Wow, did anyone watch John Lockwood's show on Hochanda last night?
I watched online as my John was watching Leicester and Athletico, I was willing Leicester on, how I would have loved them to win.
What an amazing product that Glitter Kiss is.
I love my Gilding Polish but I think I may love this Kiss more!!!!
*******

I made this one using more bits from my scrap box.

It is the negative cut out from S/B Labels 4 (I think) and another negative from a scroll.

Paper from Docrafts

Looks OK I think, would do for a man too.

Went back to Dr's yesterday just to make sure ear infection has cleared as I'm still experiencing ringing and some deafness.  All OK but he gave me more decongestant medicine even though my cough has gone and I dont feel that my nose is blocked, he said it is congestioon in my head!!!

LOTV Topper and scraps

Good Morning All

I bought a load of LOTV toppers a while ago and this is one of them.

In fact, I bought that many, as did my crafty mate Val (you know who you are !!!!) we probably wont EVER have to buy anymore!!!!!

All the flowers have been in my scrap box as has the pixie powder background.

Hope you are all having a nice Easter weekend and a good break from work for some of you.

John took me out for lunch yesterday which was lovely, 

We had a roast beef Sunday lunch which was yummy, we dont have one very often.

Book or Movie for Craft Rocket

Good Morning All

Craft Rocket challenge is Book or Movie Inspired.

One of the first pictures I went to the picture house to watch with my Mum was Mary Poppins.When I saw this topper from LOTV, that was in the collection that a friend gave me, I saw the lady feeding the birds and singing 'Tuppence, Tuppence, Tuppence a Bag.

So cute.

I have not added a sentiment yet, it was in a Christmas collection but not sure yet if it will be a Christmas card.

*******
Had a lovely day with Val yesterday but we were both abit dissappointed in Elda.
It is a 'shoe making' town and the Museum was very interesting, then we looked around the shops and ended up in a China store and bought afew (essential) craft items.
All the shoes we looked at were very very nice but very expensive.
Then we sat in a Plaza and passed the time talking and drinking until it was time for the coach back.
Then back to Catorce for an evening meal.
Back home and spoke to John Next Door on Skype and stroked the TV controls LOL while making ribbon flowers with my new ribbon.
Very Nice

Shelf Card/Box

Good Morning All

Here is another Shelf card/box I made to go in our local shop.

A little bit fiddly to make but very enjoyable if it works out right!!!

All homemade embellishments.

I put some tealight candles in the shelves or the buyer could add chocolates or even jewellery.

********

Well, first night on my own last night, I had the TV controls all to myself!!!!!!

I have never been on my own here so this is a new experience for me.

Just aswell I'm not going to Johns and Ally Pally as this cough and head cold just wont go away, my head hurts so much when I cough and my head feels like it is stuffed with cotton wool and the constant ringing/buzzing in my ears is driving me mad.

From what  I have heard, it is the same for alot of people that have had it, takes a long time to clear.

Just hope I manage on my coach trip with Val today, not got too much energy!!!

(for posting)

I also included some other goodies too.

On Wednesday,  my crafty friend Val and I are on a coach trip.

Food for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is chosen by me.

Food Glorious Food.

Not far from where I live is a road called the Lemon Tree and all along is citrus groves filled with Lemon Trees.

So when I cut this decoupage out it reminded me of driving along there and seeing all the lemons.

The papers are from a Docrafts pack which I thought was suitable as they have apples and Blackberries on.

I thought this little bucket charm was so cute.
