A Mix

 Good Morning All

A mixture to show you today.

On the weekends we very often get given freebies on Facebook within the groups we are in.  The first is from JaneyB Journals and Jane gave a couple of sheets of images and sets the challenge to show what we can make with them.

Here are the two sheets she gave out on Saturday, 2 A4 sheets.

And here is what I made.

First a triple flip tag for a Journal

Then  with the pieces left I made two Birthday cards.

Next, Gi Kerr from Happiness in Crafting gives a Friday Freebie every week and this week as her ink had gone in the printer so  the sheet was Black & White but still gorgeous.

I laminated it on one side and made a triple fold notebook folio for the charity box in the shop.

This is the inside showing two side pockets and I made little notebooks to go in those too.

I trimmed with lace and added decorated paperclips.

Then stuck some words on from one of Gi's kits.

I love it, infact I made two.

It is well worth being a member of the groups.

A challenge from Gi Kerr

 Good Morning All

A folio to show today.

I made this for a challenge on Facebook set by Gi from Happiness in Crafting.

She gives out a freebie every Friday and she set a challenge to use them along with an envelope template she gave .

This is what I made, a shabby chic folio.

I used as many bits as I could and added a notebook made with coffee dyed papers.

Lots of pockets and tucks and secret places.

There are over 100 entries so I dont hold out much hope!!!!!!

Say It With Flowers for Penny Black & Challenge

Good Morning All

As part of Allsorts Design Team we can Guest  at Penny Black Challenge blog HERE.

The them for August is

Say It With Flowers.

I used PB3822K Trumpet Vase and made two cards.

This first one was made a while ago when I was playing with water colour paints.

I simply painted different colours and stamped the image over the top - simples.

The charm is one I made, attached with twine and seam binding.

I used the same backing paper and used one of JND tags, played with Mica Magics and stamped the image on top.

Added afew flowers punched from left over scraps of parchment,  half a doily and some homemade sentiments.

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

Now onto my normal Sunday post for Craft Club Challenge.

Instead of a sketch or Tic Tac To, I gave the ladies 1/2 mtr of ribbon each from Crafty Ribbons

I want them each to make a Christmas card or something else using the Christmas ribbon I gave them.

Here is mine, a twist pop up card using a tutorial by Gi Kerr on You Tube.

I used the cute Penguin vertical ribbon, LOTV topper.

A Bellyband with a little tag pinned to it.

This is the back and I used a cut off from this paper for the bellyband.

This is the card all opened up.

It was quite easy to make too.

Crafty Ribbons are doing a SELECTION BOX

Montly Selection Box

Only available during the month they are launched.

August theme is Holiday

I gave these gifts out on Friday.

Gi Kerr Folio

Good Morning All

I have been making more notebooks or folios, whatever you wish to call them.

This is using a set of papers from Happiness in Crafting (Gi Kerr).

She also has a You Tube channel with wonderful tutorials.

This is the front with a pocket, lace and a dangle charm

Inside the front cover with a pocket for tags.

Inside  the back cover, more pockets.

Lots of tags and ephemera and pockets and tiny notebook.

I'm very happy with how this turned out and I love this paper set from Gi,  and another gift ready for Christmas!!

Envelope Notebook Folder

Good Morning All

I am so in to my notebooks at present and here is another one following a You Tube video from Gi at Happiness in Crafting.

Quite afew pics to follow.

This is the front cover of a fold up notebook envelope.

Inside the back cover

Inside the front cover.

Gi also has a video on making these cute little dresses and handbags.

UYou can deocrate as much or as little as you wish.

Most of my lace and ribbon on these comes from Crafty Ribbons - Link in sidebar.

I made mine into paperclips and attached to journaling cards but they would make great toppers for cards.

I decided to add a little tuck spot on the 1st page of the journaling pages.

Coffee stained and notebook pages sewn in.

And this is the envelope part on the back of the journal notebook.

All the ephemera stored in two pockets.

And this is a fold out page of journaling space of coffee stained paper.

How gorgeous is this.

Take a look at Gi's tutorials, they are fab.

I used papers I already had in my stash but I am going to make another one using Gi's papers.

Another gift to go in my drawer for Christmas.

Crafty Ribbons have a massive sale on, go check it out.
