 Good Morning All

No challenge today as we were not at Craft club on Friday as shop is shut and I am in Alicante,  home today.  There will be a new challenge next week.

Another CAS card today with another of my doodles.

Quick Easy and Simple.

Groovi Flower Layout

Good Morning All

Clarity have been selling Layout Plates so I thought I would have a go at doing a similar layout with plates I already own.

I am very happy how it turned out and will be keeping this one for my own use.

Cirque de Soleil tonight  woohoo.

CAS card

 Good Morning All

Tomorrow we are going to Alicante for afew days.

I have a ticket to see the Cirque de Soliel Luza show which I am so looking forward to.  I have wanted to see one of their shows for a long time and when I saw they were coming to Alicante, John said he would buy me a ticket for my Birthday.

So we are going to make a weekend of it.

Back to card making. 

A very CAS  card from me.

I cut a leaf from a piece of alcohol inked card and just edged it under this left over piece of ephemera from a kit.

I embossed diagonal lines across the corner just to give it some depth.

I have decided I quite like making CAS cards.

Journaling

 Good Morning All

As you may know I make junk Journals but I have also got into Journaling for myself too.

One of my Craft Group ladies gave me a lovely notebook for my Birthday and I started collaging on afew pages, then started watching afew You Tube videos on the subject and came across Shayda Campbell via Attic Lane. and I was inspired as she combines doodling with journaling too.

Here are afew of my doodles, which I may have shown before, and some collage pages in my Notebook.

So after watching afew of Shaydas videos, I went online and purchased an  A5 size  Ottergami journal.

I am designing my 2023 Diary in a Bullet journal style.

This is my 1st page.

I hope you will join me on my Journal journey.

I will post my progress.

Hi

 Good Morning All

Another quick post today as still feeling abit under the weather.

This is a card I made a while ago using an image from a decoupage book I bought at my local craft shop.

I used a CE Leave Emboss folder and a little stamped sentiment tag.

Here is a thought provoking  quote I saw on Instagram

Thanks for visiting and see you Friday I hope,

Happy Sunday - No Challenge

 Good Morning All

No challenge this week so I will be carrying over last weeks.

I had to cancel our Craft Class due to me being unwell.

So just a couple of very CAS cards from me.

One of my ladies, Dawn, gave me some earrings she had made and she put them in an envelope and these tiny butterflies fell out too.

So, you know me, waste not want not.  I added afew gems to each one and made a very simple card.

This is one of my doodles, made into another very simple CAS card.

I am really enjoying making these types of cards.

Baby Yellow Crochet

 Good Morning All

Abit of Crochet to show you today.

One of my craft ladies asked me to knit her a baby cardigan, but as I find knitting harder on my hands I said I could crochet one instead.

She wanted lemon colour and I made two hats with the left over yarn.

I followed a pattern from Maisie & Ruth over in YT

as I did for the bobbly hat. the 2nd hat is from Craft & Crochet on YT.

They are all quite easy.

Crafty Friends & MAWTT Challenges

 

Good Morning All

I shall start with Crafty Friends Challenge  which has a theme of

Embossing

I made two cards, very similar.

I used CE Mosaic Leaves EF.

The tag toppers came from one of my crafty friends.

I helped tidy her craft room, way back in March and she disposed of alot of stuff so I grabbed some bits and these were among them.

I rubbed over the embossing with Johns (Crafts Too) Mica Paints.

Added  a sentiment tag on each one.

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

Now onto Moving Along With The Times Challenge

Which is Inky Backgrounds

I was playing with my Oxides and water, and had quite a selection to choose from but as I was doodling at the time too, I chose colours that matched the doodled flower.

Great fun to play with.

Enjoy the challenges this month.
