Quilled Autumn Card

Good Morning All

This is a quilled card I made for a swap in a card group on Facebook.

The theme was Autumn.
The scarecrow card has been in my stash for years but I thought it was very apt for this card.
I hope the quilling looks like corn.
And tied them together with twine.

Wings for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and the theme is 

Things With Wings.

I nearly always go for Butterflies so I decided to have a change and went with Birds.

Now this paper, from a magazine, has been in my stash for ever!!!!

I made a sort of Shabby Chic card.

Lots of bits used on this.

I have a box I keep stuff in to make Tags, so I delved into that.

Brenda is giving a prize of a Set of Stamps for this one.

Taking mum to respite home today for a week, she looks on it as a holiday, getting waited on, all meals cooked for her etc

Jigsaw Embellishments Swap

Good Morning All

I received a swap from a lovely lady on the Facebook group I am in.

The swap was one I had organised and it was to make 3 embellishments using Jigsaw pieces.

This is  the  3 pieces from Karolena.

Here are three cards I made, using them.

Very pleased with all three.

And here are some extras she sent too.

I love these swaps, I get some great ideas for making embellishments.

2 Man cards

Good Morning All

Here are two fairly quick 'Man' cards.

The first one is using pieces of LOTV paper that were left over from another project. and the sentiment is a Creative Expressions die cut twice to highlight.

The 2nd one is LOTV Topper, I love these, they are so cute, and scraps of paper matted and layered.

I went to meet my new grandaughter  yesterday.
Please  excuse  the state of my hair!!!!

Hello UK

Good Morning All

As this goes live I shall be on my way to Alicante Airport to fly to Liverpool to see Arabella Louise and the rest of the family.

It is a two centre break for me as I am meeting John Next Door on Sunday and then he is taking me down to his and then I shall get the train to my other sons in Corby.

Cant wait to see everyone and meet the new babs.
*****

Today I have another couple of quilled cards.

A general one.

And a Christmas one.

This is a very small one, just 10x10cm.

I am thinking of doing afew of this size together and selling in a pack of maybe 5 or 6 at the Christmas Fayre I am doing in November.

I have been quilling some poinsettias for this size of card.

I believe it is only about 14 or 15 weeks until Christmas!!!!!

See you soon.

**********
I have some more pics of the floating cups now.  I was having issues with my memory card from my camera, t kept saying it needed formatting but I have been using it for ages with no issues, then suddenly saying that.  Anyway, John tired it in his laptop and it was OK so I tried again and voila, fine!!!!

This is Val J's.

This is mine.













**********

I would like to show you this ladies' quilling.  She is a member of a group on Facebook and she also has her own page HERE
Her work is amazing.
She has given me permission to show you all.
Why not pop along and view her work.

Feels Like Autumn for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is Feels Like Autumn hosted by Ellie.

I chose this image because it reminds me of Harvest Festival in church when I was at school.
Once the Harvest was over, the farmers would get ready for Autumn.
I dont even know where the image is from, sorry

Using scraps of card for the background.

Fussy cut the stamped image which I coloured with Promarkers.

Buttons with twine, which was used to tie the bales, probably not these days but it was used years ago when I was a child!!!!

Brenda is offering a prize of a gorgeous Tonic die.


*****
I went to another craft class on Thursday and we made Floating Tea Cups, great fun.

Mine is the dark one near the middle.
I think I may add some flowers to it.

No Image for MAWTT

Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge
is hosted by Christine this time and she does not want any images,
 just the Sentiment as the focal point.

This is my younger Son's Birthday card which was back in July.

I cut the letters, RICK, from glitter foam so use as the focal point.

I used a 'tools' embossing folder.

He is a plumber by trade and put himself (paid for himself too) through all his exams while still working as a driver and supporting his family too.

So proud of him.

Mini Fabric Book

Good Morning All

Afew weeks ago I made a lovely Ribbon & Gem flower for Allsorts Challenge,  and this is what I used it for, a Fabric Book.

It is quite small, about 6 x 4 

Inside with afew homemade Stick Pins

I shall probably gift this to someone.

The stick Pins are for sale at top of my blog.

*******

I just wanted to show you this lovely card from one of my ladies at my craft club.

Denise is new to card making and she messaged this card to me as she was soooo pleased with it.

With good reason I think, what do you think??

Well done Denise, you are well on the road to being poor, all your money being spent  on craft stash!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
