Thank you Groovi

 Good Morning All

Here is a quick Groovi card made with one of the monthly members plates.

I gave this to Liz & Paul at the craft shop for looking after Rico while we went away the other week to Altea.

I added some little butterflies and mounted onto mottled Lilac card stock.

AG for Crafty Ribbons & Happy Sunday Challenge

 Happy Sunday to you all.

Crafty Ribbons time for me again so I combine this with my challenge for Craft Club too.

I found these brads and wanted to use them so added a small piece of Seam binding to each one.

I used one of my Oxide inked background and a scrap of floral card and added 3 butterflies with the sentiment.

I added 3 pearls to each brad centre so they look abit like butterflies too.

I also added seam binding to the sentiment tag too.  Seam binding is so versatile and there is a massive colour choice in the Crafty Ribbons shop.  I love it and use is alot in my journals too.

The challenge last week was a sketch and there were only afew entries as some of my ladies are on holiday.

I added a decorated paperclip to both too.

I Love...... for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is

I Love......

Well there are afew things I love in the Craft world  ---

Junk Journalling and Groovi being just 2 of them so I went with Groovi.

I used one of the Italian grid plates for the border and pale green parchment.

The focal point is one of Clarity's Poppet images and I just glittered the flowers and did a little bit of white embossing on her skirt.

Our sponsor is Helping Hands with a Voucher for the winner.

Bingo for MAWTT

 Good Morning All

Over at Moving Along With The Times Challenge is is Caroles turn to choose a theme and she picked a Bingo chart.

I used Gems,  Patterned paper and Embossed paper as the parchment is embossed.

I made this gorgeous Groovi hearts a good while ago at one of my Groovi classes as we were glittering our work and I made  this to show how lovely it could be. 

 So I mounted it onto Gorgeous designer paper then onto Gold Mirri.

There was not much room for a sentiment tag so just added a Peeloff Congratulations to keep it general then it may be given as an Engagement or Wedding or Anniversary card.

AG with Nature Option for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge theme this week is chosen by Ellie and it is

Anything Goes with an option of Nature

I made two notebooks to give to family members and they both have a theme of nature running through them.

This is the first one and this is the front cover.

A lovely pastel shade paper and I added a strip of material for strength on the spine.

I added a double page with pockets and put a Journal card in each one.

This is the second one, very similar.

And both have a pocket on the inside of the back cover.

Very happy with those and I hope the girls I gave them to did too.
