 Good Morning All

I have found afew bits and bobs that need to be used and as I need to fill the boxes of cards that go to charities I am making quick cards.

I must have cut the decoupage out a long time ago as these two toppers were in the box waiting to be used.

I like the first one but not too sure about the second but I have found in the pat that very often when I dont like  a card, others do, so it went in the box.

The two pale strips on here are the reverse of the gingham paper, waste not want not.!!!

This backing is quite thin parchment or vellum but I was able to work a Groovi grid plate on it.  It is abit shiny gold on the front.  I did think the backing would match the Hugs blue but not to sure, but its made now and in the box.

Tell me what you think..

Make afew small cards from a big one

 Good Morning All

Liz at the Craft Shop gave me a beautiful Heart plate for Christmas last year and it is about 8x8 so I worked it all and did abit of snipping.

I decided to make smaller cards with it instead of one big one (better in the charity box).

So here are afew that I made.

This one I kept four squares together.

And these two, I used just one of the squares

There are more like these two but didn't photo them all.

I often just add 'Congratulations' then they can be used as Wedding or Engagement cards. or even Anniversary.

Thanks for looking.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

I hope you are all OK after the storms hit the UK on Friday.

Weather here in spain hs changed for the better, it has got slot warmer, hitting the mid 20's during the day.

My challenge at Craft Club on Friday for the ladies was a  chart. I used Blue Square Twine for this Mans card. The motorbike is an old topper I found in a box.

I found the pieces of embossed card in my scrap tray, gems from a Chrystal Art kit.

Chart to follow

The gifts I gave out were cutting tools, always handy for a crafter.

Last weeks challenge was a sketch.

'I Love'

 Good Morning All

This  post would normally have been for Allsorts Challenge tomorrow but I have decided  to step away from the Design Team after spending last weekend worrying because I had cocked up the winners post on Friday

Then I had a good talk to myself and thought WHY, it's a blog for goodness sake and I had got myself really upset about it.  Then I told myself to get over it and move on so here we are.  I'm a worrier, always have been and always will be I suppose, I wish I could change but I cant.

So this is the remainder of what would have been my post for Allsorts.

There are many things in the crafting world I love but I think the one one I love most is Groovi grid work and here are two cards doing just that.

The image is from Clarity  and I didn't colour it , just a little bit of white embossing on her hair and the petals.

I use all my left over bits of parchment to punch flowers and butterflies.

Using the grids do take some work and I made a couple of mistakes on this one, hence the flowers in two corners!!

I save these cards for my family and crafters as they take so much time but give me so much pleasure.

Junk Journal Snippets

 Good Morning All

Today is my monthly Junk Journal class at the Craft shop and we will be making Snippets like these.

It is a great way of using lots of little bits of scraps, glue them onto a piece of Amazon packaging then stitching with a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine.

Last week one of the designers I follow on Facebook set a challenge to make a 5 tag  book and here is my offering.

Tracie provided us all with freebie tags and some ephemera.

I created a side pocket with journal cards.

Thank you for visiting.
