 Hi

Well it feels like I've never been away!!!!

Back to Craft Group on Friday and this is the card I made for their little challenge.

Use Scraps

This is a great way of using scraps.

I tear them into small pieces and then sort of collage them together and stick under an aperture.

You could ink the white edges but I quite like the white standing out.

Then decorate with a small topper.

What do you think???

Crochet

Well  I am back from UK after a lovely  visit to my son and 2 grandaughters.

My foot is feeling lots better, not perfect yet but I can walk.

I have not been making cards while I had to rest my foot but lots of Groovi and Crochet. 

Here is the start of a new baby blanket  using a You Tube video from Alison Russell

It's a nice easy 2 row repeat using DK baby yarn.

I have also just completed  this shawl/cowl which I did most of while at Rick's last week.

It is a pale taupe colour. The photos are not a good representation of the true colour.

Again, it was a You Tube tutorial by claudetta 

I did go to my Groovi  group yesterday  so I will be getting back in my craftroom and making cards and videos again.

 Hi

As I'm away, Eve looked after my Craft Group on Friday.

This is the challenge I left for them, a sketch

I used the same papers with different Santori images.

I dont mind making two or even three cards, very similar as they go in different boxes for the charities to use as Raffle prizes, so it's not a problem.

Home tomorrow.

Reminder for Outlawz Twisted Challenge

 Hi

Today I want to show you the card I made for my mum for Mothers day.

It's for the Outlawz Twisted challenge reminder.

I used an offcut of parchment and did some snipping, which I thoroughly enjoy.

Cupcake Inspirations

 Good Morning

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge is a colour combo.

I made this card first using paper from  an LOTV pad, a couple of die cuts that were on my desk and some punched parchment flowers, all backed onto brown card

Then I saw this die cut on my desk too, the dusky pink, from creative Expressions.  So I thought I would make another card to use the offcuts of the above paper, added some rose trim between the two pìeces.

And, of course, afew mini butterflies!!

Birds / Bees for MAWTT

 Hi

My 2nd post today, as it's the 1st of the month, is for 

Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog

The theme is

Birds and / or Bees

This theme has been chosen by Tracey.

So, on my first card, I included both by using a bird paper and a bee charm.

My second card is using offcuts.

I am determined, when I cut into a piece of paper, to try and use all of it, to cut down on stashing them all in a file!!!

That's my theory anyway!!

I even used some peeloffs on this one too, got to use them too !!!

***********

I had a fall last week and ended up in A&E.

I have got ligament damage in my right  foot and have to rest as much as I can and not put weight on it, hence I'm having to use crutches.

Therefore lots of crafting getting done, crochet and groovi, things I can do on my lap while keeping my leg elevated.

Shaped cards

 Hi

LOTV Toppers, Peeloffs,  card oblongs and offcuts of Clarity designer papers.

 and here is what I made, afew shaped or rather, folded cards.

These are the oblongs of card, about 15x 5 inch, had them for a longggg time.

Off cuts of this lovely Clarity designer paper.

I tried to fold in different ways just for abit of added interest.

Then started adding the LOTV toppers.

I added another topper on the inside.

So happy with my little stash of cards.
