Junk Journal for Crafty Ribbons

Good Morning All

Here is my inspiration post for Crafty Ribbons Design Team.

I LOVE Seam Binding and use it alot for all sorts of things on both cards and altered items.

Here is another Junk Journal I have made, hopefully, to sell.

I have used the binding for the closure.

There is also lots of laces in store too.

It is great for the tags too, as it doesn't create too much bulk within the pages.

Pop over to the store and see the massive range available at 

Also, there is free P&P on orders over 15quid.

Love for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Love is the theme for Allsorts this week, chosen by Helene.

As I dont really do Valentines cards so I went with a general 'Sent With Love'

I used LOTV Heartfelt paper pad and cut 3 hearts with Cheery Lynn die DL128.

placed the hearts on an doily cut with X Cut die.

 Added ribbon and roses with a homemade sentiment tag.

Brenda is giving  a set of 

Indigo Blue stamps

Add A Sentiment for MAWTT

Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge is hosted by Diane this time and the theme is

Add A Sentiment

I already had this CE Sentiment cut out in my topper box along with this decoupage teddy with flowers.

So I matted it onto Phill Martin paper and added some little butterfllies.

I added some ribbon to the top corner and tied a Happy Birthday charm  to it with twine.

Hello

Good Morning All

We are putting Rico in the kennels today so that I can give my back a rest.

You never know whether you are doing right or wrong by keeping moving.

But as it has gone on so long now, I thought I would rest it for a couple of days before I leave for UK on Thursday.

This is one of my fave Groovi plates and can be used for many occasions.

Here it is before I added a sentiment.

White parchment onto coloured parchment with very fine picot cut scalloped edge.

I just added a simple homemade stamped sentiment with a charm and ribbon.

This is a large card for me, 7x7 and I keep this size for special  ones.

I have also been knitting and crocheting for the dogs and the homeless .

I found a group on Facebook who want to collect, hats, gloves and scarves for the homeless in Murcia, so another great way of using scraps of wool too.

These are things I can do while I am at Ricks in Corby.

Friends for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is hosted by Lynn and her theme is

Friends

As I stated last week, I work well ahead for my DT makes and  for this weeks challenge  I made my best friends Birthday card back in October.

Her Birthday was on 3rd January, same day as my sister Gill's.

I first met Trudy when we were 11 years old, on the bus going to school.

I still see her every time I go to Mums as she now lives on the same road as Mum.

I had the shoe image from when I used a Groovi plate belonging to one of my craft ladies.

I added 'Best Friend' from another plate

and Happy Birthday from another.

This is what I love about Groovi - I can use different plates to make a unique creation and it is so easy to personalise too.

I always use odd pieces of parchment to either make butterflies of flowers, so I add many flowers.

The card underneath the parchment is from a 12x12 pad from Hobbycraft.

I felt it needed a little something else so added one of my ribbon bows.

Same Plate - 3 cards

Good Morning All

Hope you are not snowed in, our weather has turned very chilly, a cold wind, but still sunshine during the day.

My back is still bad and hoping it will get better next week as I am going to Rick and Lorien's  to see them all and have a bit of Nana time with my gorgeous girls.

Here are 3 cards I have made using the same plate, can be made to look so different in different colours.

This one has two layers, the underneath layer is coloured parchment.

This one has a Pixie Powder background

And finally, this one is rainbow paper background and my fave.

These are to show my team leader at Allsorts, Brenda, just what can be done with one plate.

Scraps

Good Morning All

I made this card at the weekend for a sketch challenge on a Facebook page.

I used a card base I showed HERE  when I bought some paper pads from a declutter site on Facebook and there were some scraps in them, so I decided to use them all for card bases.

I stamped a Birthday Cake image on a piece of pale green paper from the scraps.

Candy dots in the corner

A Charm and homemade sentiment tag tied to the ribbon.
