Embellishments

Good Morning All

On Sunday I made some embellishments.

I think they look quite pretty and I hope to sell some at the craft fayre in November at the local English bar.

I think one of these would look so pretty on a card, either as the focal point or as an embellishment on the side.

And, I really enjoyed making them.

*******

Well I hope anyone that has been flying over the last few days  has got where they need to go. My heart goes out to my friend Val,  her flight was cancelled due to French air traffic controllers and she can't get home on another flight until Sunday.

I took some neighbours to airport last night as they were told to turn up on time  even if there were delays.

Good Morning All

I made this card when I got home from my Craft Club on Friday.

I had been showing the girls my new stuff from John Next Door .

I started with the rectangle media plate from the shapes set, coloured with Izink, then experimented with a mask.

Then the butterfly stamps, and there are lots of stamps in the set, some tiny ones too.

All I had to do when I got home was mat and layer and I added a couple of charms with coloured twine.

I cant praise enough, these new products that John is using .

The Inks are very juicy and the stamps stamp very neatly and precise.

Shabby Chic Plaque swap

Good Morning All

Another creation I made for a swap on Facebook.

Create or decorate a plaque or canvas in a Shabby Chic style.
Lots of homemade doilies, fabric flowers.
Stunning Applique, stick pins.
Thoroughly enjoyed making this.

I swapped mine in person as my partner lives in Corby so we arranged to meet up when I was staying with my Son.

We had a good natter too, a lovely lady, Debbie.

Concertina card die

Good Morning All

A quick post this morning.

I have just added this card onto my Facebook Page so I thought I would show it on here too.

I bought the die to make this card while I was in UK.

It makes it so much easier, I have made it in the past, cutting and measuring and alot of trial and error!!

LOTV Toppers, fabric ribbon down the sides, tiny bows and butterflies.

Easy Peasy.

Tag Envelopes

Good Morning All

Yeh back at Craft Club today, missed them girls and still missing my mate Lyn who moved back to UK.

******

I made these tag envelopes before I went to UK.

I will use them in a Junk Journal or for gifts or even for a topper on a card with a tag inside.

Also, making these is a great way of using up bits of ribbon and odd bits lying on my desk.

These three each have a quilled flower on

Afew pics from UK visit

Good Morning All

Here are afew pics from my visit to UK.

First stop was in North West.

4 generations - Mum, me, my son and my grandaughter

Noah and Aurora love playing in my sisters garden, bubbles and water balloons.

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

Next stop was Leicester.

I went out for lunch with John Next Door, Mrs Duck (Ang) and one of their friends.

Now he is having a well earned break in Greece, he wasn't booked on Monarch, thank goodness!!!!

Then these are some miniature plants that a lady made for John and Ang.

I couldn't resist showing you these, they are amazing.

She makes all parts of them and the tiny flowers and leaves are paper.

Very intricate work.

Then last stop was Corby where I met up with a lovely lady from  my swap group on Facebook.

We met up for a cuppa and a swap.

Then finally, Hollie and Tess.

Hollie had a school assembly where they had to dress up as a favourite character and sing!!!

Then this little cutie has just started walking and learning to talk, so funny.

A most pleasurable trip and today I am taking some friends to Quesada to pick up a coach for their cruise.

Then John and I are going out for a walk.

THEN I can get in my craft room and play with all my new goodies!!!!!!
