Cupcake Inspirations

 Hi Everyone.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge time.

This montht the theme is

In The Garden

I chose this lovely digital of a Tea Rose and added  homemade sentiments.  Matted onto half a doily and paper from a magazine, all on two pieces of card.

Of course, I made more cards using what was left over from papers and card.

I hope you will join in.

You Tube - Journal

 Hi Everyone

I have a You Tube video out today showing a lovely Bee Journal.

The papers are from a friend of mine at Lollies Printables and these are free on her Kofi.  I have added all the links under the video.

 Here are some pics.

I am including this notebook with the journal.

Front cover, closure with gingham ribbon

This is my centre spread of mini concertina books for extra writing space.

Altered window envelope

And this is a box envelope, idea from Vectoria designs and another freebie, link under video.

Video.

It is for sale at 35 euro plus postage.

 Hi All

Abit late with this one as we have been away for John to meet hi new Grandson from Australia.

Anyway, I forgot all about Moving Along With The Times challenge which has a theme of 

Feminine

for August.

So I pulled this card from my files and I hope you like it.

I think its a Hunkydory topper but it is very pretty.

Some pics of Johns 2 grandsons, Acton Jude on the left from Hawarth and Charlie on the right from Australia.

So very much alike and only3 months between them

We had a little trip on the local steam train which was fun.

This is right by Johns sons house in Hawarth, very beautiful in the summer, not so much ion the Winter!!!

Thanks for visiting.

 Hi

Nothing to report this week. I haven,t done much crafting as its so hot.

I had to buy a new computer as mine was old and extremely slow.

So instead of getting a laptop, I went for a desktop and very pleasantly surprised.  Instead of a great big box under the table its now a very small, maybe 6x6 flat box that sits along side the screen and a nice big screen.

So getting used to it and Windows 11`s new ways.

Here is this weeks You Tube video  -  Little Folios to hold some Ephemera as gifts for my Craft groups.

And a couple of pics of Rico for good measure too.

So relaxed, keeping cool on the tile floor.

Reminder For Outlawz Twisted Challenge

 Hi Everyone

Today is the reminder for Outlawz Twisted Challenge where the theme is 

Greetings

I kept to the same style of card as the 1st of the month, using a sentiment stamp for my Greeting.

I used my Oxides and stencil for the background.

I had this die cut circle  on my desk so heat embossed the sentiment

Added afew punched mini butterflies.

All looks good.

Cupcake Inspirations DT

 Hi 

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge starts today.

And it is a colour challenge of Red White and Blue.

I used Fired Brick and Saphire Blue Oxides for the background.

Stamped the butterflies and sentiment then painted in the colours on the larger butterfly.

And, of course, I made another card.

I used water colour paints for this one and stamped  over the top.

Added afew mini punched butterflies.

I did make these two cards afew weeks ago, as I do like to work well ahead.

I have lost my mojo abit recently, I think its the hot weather which puts me off going in my craft room as its so hot in there.

But also, I have lost interest in my craft group and classes, so I am having a break from all except my Junk journal group which is being held in one of the ladies house  so its nice and cool.

Sadly, losing my mojo means I have lost my interest in my blog and my You Tube channel.   I'm hoping my enthusiasm  returns soon.

My sis arrives next week and then we go back to UK with her for family  visits, both mine and John's.

See you soon.

Let me know what you do when you lose your crafting mojo.  Please.

 Hi

I have no Challenge card to show today as Friday was the last day of my Craft Group for a while as the shop is closing Fridays through the Summer and I am not sorry as it is so hot.  And to be honest, I have not been enjoying the group as much since my best friend  Val passed away in December.  I still miss her so much.

---------------

I released a YT video yesterday making these cute little paperclips using lots of tiny scraps which is good.

I put this one next to a ruler to show the size.

Here is the video link.

Mindless doodling

 Hi 

These are some pages from my Reverse Colouing Book

I may have shown some before, forgive me if that's so.

I have used some of these for backgrounds on my cards, they are too pretty not to really.

 I really like this one.

 And this one.

 Before doodling and see what you can in the colours and shapes.  Definitely  flowers in this one.

What do you think ?  Anyone else done this??
