Thank You

Good Afternoon All
I am feeling abit better but still have pains in my back. 
We are back to our winter Saturday nights, he is in the kitchen cooking steak, baked potato and salad and he keeps my wine glass filled as I watch 'Come Dine With Me' and play on my laptop.
I have cleared my desk this afternoon as it was really starting to get on my nerves, my work space was getting smaller and smaller!!!

I made this card yesterday.

 

I have made afew crochet flowers and this is one of them and there will be more to follow I,m sure.

Lots of quilled flowers too.

Let me know what you think.

Good Morning All
I had a bad day yesterday, spent most of it curled up on the sofa with a duvet around me, dont know what was wrong, maybe part of cystitis infection but was achy and nearly fainted in the morning.  Anyway, I am feeling much better today.

This was really quite a simple card to make.  In May I received a parcel from a friend at Docrafts - Chrislee- and in it was lot of quilled flowers and some punched borders.  The roses some were some of the  quilled flowers which I think are stunning, I cannot get mine to look so good.  I made the others twirly ones and the pearl bead pin.  All the rest was made up of bits in my stash.  I think it looks pretty stylish and could be used for any occasion.

Quickie

Good Evening All
A very quick and simple Christmas card just to show you what can be made recycling last years Christmas cards.  Some of my neighbours and Linda (from Animal Aid) give me their old Christmas cards and usually I will use the backs (plain white card) for embossing in Cuttlebug but there are afew images  and/or sentiments that I think will look nice made into another card and this was one of them.

Very simply just matted and layered onto black and green mirri card and afew stars added.
 I make so many Christmas cards for the charities here, this is a good way of making them cheaply.

Crochet flower

Good Afternoon All
It is still cold and wet here in Spain and I,m still suffering with back pain, not sure if connected to cystitis or if I may have pulled a muscle.  I have been trying to take my mind from it by crafting believe it or not.

I saw some lovely crochet poppies on the Docrafts forum and I have seen flowers before on cards so I thought I would have ago.  I had some bits of wool left from knitting prem baby hats so I made a couple last night.  I have still got some Daisy and Dandelion decoupage left that I won a good while ago.
Have a good day everyone.

Sassy Studios

Good Morning All
Monday means another challenge at Love to Create.  This week our sponsor is Sassy Studios and the theme is fancy edges so, once again, that is a nice easy one. The winner can choose 2 gorgeous images.  And the second sponsor is The Digi Garden who will give a winner 7 digis of their choice.

I chose this Mary Poppins image from Sassy, coloured her with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir and mounted her on Spellbinders scalloped ovals.  The corners and circle are from Papermania, as are the gems.  Tiny pink bow from Mei Flowers and I put ribbon on the edge after making a hole with my Cropodile.
We have fun looking at your creations and there are new members on the design team so there is even more inspiration for you to look at.

Christmas card for Hollie

Good Morning All
Weather has changed abit here, it is dull today and we have had abit of rain.
I made this card following a tutorial I found here, the blog is called Homemade With Love, Gems and Pretty Things, and I came across it whilst doing my DT bit for Forever Friends.  I tried making this card from Making cards magazine last year and the instructions were not very clear (I did email them and asked but got no reply) and I am sure I have still got the original in a drawer somewhere w hich I will try to finish now. Anyway, this one was so easy to make and I think it looks great.

The pictures are abit bright as the flash kept going off as it,s abit dull here today.
I used my Forever Friends decoupage as I love the FF bears and then decorated to my hearts content.

Hollie

Hi all
Just got this picture of Hollie and I just wanted to share  it with you.

When I saw her this morning, via Skype, she was smiling away and her Mum and Dad tell me she has started laughing, I cant wait to get my hands on her in December, just 5 weeks.  And she is putting on weight like a good one.
