Jacky's Birthday

Good Morning All

Today is my friend Jacky's Birthday, and her hubby, Alan, asked me to make a card for her from him.

I made these foamiran flowers a while ago and decided to use them as they are so pretty in lilac.

The heart die is Joanna Sheen.

Happy Birthday from Creative Expressions.

Corner die from Leanne.

And the gorgeous lace ribbon from local China store.

He loved it anyway and I hope Jacky does too.

2 DP for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is hosted by Kath.

She has chosen a theme of using at least 2 designer papers.

I used two sheets from an LOTV paper pad - Timeless Victorian.

This lovely large flower was in some candy I was lucky to win.

I inked all the edge and the corners with Plum Cobbler Colour Cloud. 

I embellished with two of my stick pins, some ribbon John Next Door gave me with one of my pearl gems on the top.

Pins and gems available on my page at top of my blog.

As our sponsor is Tattered Lace, I did set out to use a butterfly cut with their Pinpoint set, then got carried away with the flower.

So here is my another card I have put on the Challenge blog, using the pinpoint butterfly!!!!!

The sentiment is one of John Next Door's, heat embossed in gold.

Two tiny organza bows with two of my tiny butterflies on top.

I used what was left from the two sheets of 8x8 papers inside one of the cards.

Waste not want not!!!!

I have a little Bingo or Tic Tac Toe  on my Facebook Page.
Why not pop over and have a go.

Have a good weekend and make a card to join in the challenge.

Die Cut Magazine

Good Morning All

I bought the Die Cut Magazine afew months ago.

It just laid at the side of my desk for ages, so I thought I had better do something with it.

To be honest, I am not over impressed with these but very often when I dont like something I make, others love it.

I did make another one but it reminded me so much of my best friend Trudy, in the UK, the one that has had breast cancer, I posted it over to her, just to say 'Hello'.

She has a green house in her garden and she goes and sits in there for abit of peace and quiet, she does grow plants too. 

I love the verse on the stamp, very apt.

*****
More rain on Thursday so pool will have cooled even more, but will risk it shortly for my daily swim, as missed yesterday. I do feel it does me good and makes me feel healthy, been good on my diet too. Lost 2lb this week, even though we have been out for meal and lots of wine twice!!!!!

Goodbye Lyn

Good Morning All

Today's card is one I made for my Crafty friend Lyn.

She  decided earlier in the year to go back to live in UK.

Her house sold reasonably quickly and today is the day she goes.

She has this card now so I can show you.

I used one of the jigsaw pieces I have decorated and a tag.

The sentiment says We Will Miss You.

And I shall miss her very much, we ran the fat club together and she helped me with the Craft Club.

I,m happy for her and I know she will be reading this.

We are going to Skype on a Friday with the others at Craft club.

Good Luck Lyn & Bill.

Hope you find a new home soon.

Just For You

Good Morning All

A couple of quilled cards today.

I do the quilling while watching TV then make into a card the next day.

I added a general sentiment, so can suit any occasion.

I always make sure they will fit in the envelope, not great for posting but they will fit.

Going out for lunch today with some friends over from Ireland.
Not good for my diet but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!!!!

Junk Journal given to Ella

Good Morning All

I made another  Junk Journal, for no one specific, but did end up sending it to my ex sister in laws daughter, after they were here on holiday afew weeks ago.

She is starting at Bath University  this term and I thought she might like it.

It is made from a cereal box and this is the front.

 beautiful fabric flower.

The spine with charm.

 and now the pages with lots of tags and tuck spots

All the pages are coffee dyed papers

Lots of spaces for journalling

Very happy with this and   I really hope Ella likes it too.

I have been asked how I make these, here is the link to a Facebook page and from there  you can get links to tutorials.

Here are my other Junk Journal attempts and HERE.

We had another night of rain on Friday, definately a change in the weather here, autumn on the way!!!

New Beginnings for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is 

New Beginnings hosted by Tracy.

I decided a new term at school was a New Beginning so I made Hollie a card to start the new term.

I was given these letters ages ago and the cute paper is from my sister Gill, also a crafter, but she did not want  a load of papers from magazines, so I took them off her hands.!!!!
I coloured the edges of the letters to make them stand out abit more.
Added orange organza ribbon with a heart charm.

Sponsor is Digistamp Boutique

Hollie loved it, along with a box of crafting goodies I sent to her.

Not long until I see them all and Arabella Louise.
Noah looks so pleased with his new sister, he is so good with Aurora and I,m sure he will be with this one too, a great big brother.

Christmas for Penny Black

Good Morning All

It is my turn to guest at Penny Black & More Challenge as part of the Allsorts DT.

I used this cute PB image but left it uncoloured and went with Black and White only.

I used the Pierced Ovals from Creative Expressions as an aperture and cut the smaller one for the sentiment which is heat embossed with White.

To make it stand out against the black part I mounted part of it onto white card.

Added afew resin stars and black gems.

Actually, looking at it now, I think I may just colour the holly berries in red.

What do you all think?

*****

Well the rain has definately cooled the pool down. It was 25 degrees this morning, down from 30 but I still had my swim, 'cos I,m a good girl!!!!
