Crochet

Good Morning All

Here are afew Crochet baby blankets and shawls I have made over the last few months.

Love this stitch and quite easy when once you get going.

I can't add a link via my tablet but it is on You Tube - Cute Craft Ideas called 'How to make fancy baby blanket tutorial'

                                                                     And another one.

And Another !!!

I am going to have to search for a new pattern now.

Don't forget that John is on Hochanda today at 6pm.

Seam Binding for Crafty Ribbons

Good Morning All

My turn to post for Crafty Ribbons Design Team and I have made this lovely card featuring their Seam Binding.  There are so many colours to choose from HERE. I added some darker green Rik Rak from the store too.

I embossed a piece of green Ombre card with a folder from Crafters  Companion called Wishes

 (I think).

The club Groove plate from March and one of the Queen Border Grids to make the centre piece.

I love seam binding as it is so easy to tie into a nice bow and soooo many colours available.

Pop over to the Facebook page to enter the challenge.

Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

Happy Sunday to you all.

The challenge I set my Craft Club Ladies on Friday was a sketch and here is my card for it.

I must admit, that this is mostly made from scraps on my desk or in my scrappy box.

A small piece of Butterfly embossed card, inked on the edges.

I cut some flags and stamped the sentiments.

Seam binding, pearls and and afew butterflies.

Sketch to follow

Here is the link to my Facebook page, you can enter there or email if you wish to play along. I draw a name next Friday at my Craft Club.

As I gave them pencils last week, I thought I would give pencil sharpeners this week.

Ok, some of you sharp eyed people will notice that  a couple of the boxes are Christmassy but I do try to use all my scraps!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Monochrome for MAWTT

Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Ties challenge is hosted by Penny from USA today.

She has chosen a theme of 

Monochrome.

I bought this Groovi plate when Clarity had their members sale in in Feb/March thinking it would be suitable for 'Man' Cards.

I also bought the coloured parchment at the same time so when I saw this theme I thought it would be perfect.

I was going to colour the squirrel in but when you look closely at the lines there is no definitive line to end the colour.

Why not pop over to the challenge blog and see what Team A have been upto.

Clear out

Good Morning All

Busy day for  me today.

I have to pull my desk and storage units away from the windows in my craft room as I have a new window cleaner coming this afternoon.

I look forward to it really, because it makes me have a good clear up and sort out too.

I am determined to go through all my drawers and shelves and have a really good tidy out over the next few days

*****

Showing you three Groovi cards today as I am having a clear up in my photo file on my laptop too.

I love the first and the last one most but still enjoying doing them all.

OK, gotta go now and make a start as  I have to get cleared out then we are off clothes shopping at La Zenia boulevard, there is a Primark there and I have my birthday coming up next week!!!!

Happy Birthday Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge is 10 years old this week, so guess what the theme is!!!!!

I used one of the Queen Groovi border Grid plates and matted it onto coloured parchment.
I stamped the sentiment and flowers with Stazon ink.
I used CE Gilding Polish  to colour the bottom mat in a Pearly shimmer.

There are LOTS of wonderful prizes this week including this laminator.

PTC Swap

Good Morning All

Here is a little PTC I made for the Groovi Swap group on Facebook.

The theme was BLUE and here is the link if anyone would like to take a peek at the others the group  have made.

This is the card I sent to my partner too.

I leave it general so they can re-use if they want to.

I added punched parchment flowers that I cut from my scraps.

Johns Spring Flower Stamps

Good Morning All

We took Rico to the vets yesterday to have him clipped.

His fur had got so long and it is getting very warm here now.

I dont think it will be long until we change his walking times.

In Summer John took him out for a quick walk around the block in the afternoons and then we took him out for a longer walk at night when it has cooled off abit.

                                       From this                                                                       to this

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

Onto  a card I made yesterday.

I had been playing with Izinks before I went to UK so I used a  piece of that.

I used  Johns stamp set Spring Flowers

then matted it onto some Embossed card.

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

Wardrobe hanger fragrances.

I made a thin box for them but left the hanger out  so that I could use A4 card stock.

I stuck pretty paper on the front and that was it.
There was a lovely smell when I opened the carrier bag at class.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
