Groovi Again

 Hi

Following my last few posts I have more Groovi for you today.

These are 8x8 so will be kept for my own use.

This one is one of the French Grid plates with a seperate piece for the middle.

A simple border on this one and a Japanese lady in the middle.

Again, a simple border and seperate centre piece of a boy on a swing.

I love both these plates, the large grid and one the the Japanese collection.

I hope you like them.

A Man Card

I did alot of Groovi when I was laid up with my sore foot so now I am making all the pieces into cards.

I loved doing this one as I love all the snipping out.

I thought the leaf brads fitted quite well too-

Groovi

 Hi

As you know I have got back into my Groovi groove so here are afew cards I have made.

This is a large card 8x8 using a piece of coloured parchement that I have previously diecut the centre from so just used the peice left over for the border.

The centre is a picture included in a parcel from Clarity which I coloured and matted onto various layers.

Random Butterflies in circles on a shaped base card. 

This one is  a 7x 7  and using the Anne Grid with one of the uncoloured Poppets in the centre.

I'll be keeping these for my own use!!

 Hi

I have a lovely card for my Craft Group challenge this week.

Circles

I made  a Groovi Circle with one of their Grid plates and added a cute Poppet in the centre which I lightly coloured with Polychromo pencils. I also used Clarity designer paper for the backing.

Sweet or what.

Crochet

 Hi

Today I have quite afew crochet items to share with you.

This ia a lovely peppermint and white baby shawl done in the Corner to Corner stitch with Bella Coco.

I also use this stitch when I do blankets for the dog rescue centre, just using any odds of wool.

Very pretty colours isn't it???

This is all white and a tutorial by Alison Russell.

Again, it is quite easy once you know the basics of crochet.

She added a lovely border to hers but I just did a scallop edge.

This one is Diamonds and Cubes by Fiber Spider.

Again, for a baby and quite delicate but very pretty.

Once again, I added a scallop border to finish it off.

Next up is something for me for next Winter  -  a Poncho.

I never had a poncho as a child and I bought this wool in the sale at my local Craft shop because it had Merino wool in it.

There were odd balls, 3 terracota, 2 beige and 1 blue.

I mostly followed a pattern by Bag O Day Crochet but adjusted the neckline

And again added a  Scalloped Border.

Finally another baby blanket in white.

Pattern by Blossom Crochet very similar to a granny square.

Another Picot Border.

I'm presently crocheting another Star blanket in various baby colours with yarn my Sis brought  with her when she visited last week.

Take care all.

 Hi

I was a little late going to Craft Group on Friday as I had a Hospital appointment, or rather 3 of them.

 I had problems with my hearing since September so after medication these were my follow ups with hearing tests and specialist. All ok now thank goodness, you dont realise how much you need something until  you no longer have it.

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

Anyway, this weeks challenge is Butterflies.

My card is using Embossed Butterfly folder and some of my mini punched Butterflies with a diecut.

Quite CAS  but very pretty I think.

Truly Scraps

 Hi Everyone

These cards are all made using my scraps.

The backgrounds from strips of card leftover and the sentiment on leftover pieces of parchment.

They are all the same really, I just thought I would show them all.

Some for men and some for ladies.

What do you think??
