A Song for MAWTT

Good Morning All

Mrs Duck (Ang) has chosen the theme this time for Moving Along With The Times,  and it is the 2nd verse of All Kinds of Everything sang by Dana, younger people may not remember this one !!!!
She used the 1st verse in a previous challenge.

Seagulls and aeroplanes

Things of the sky

Winds that go howlin'

Breezes that sigh

City sights

Neon lights

Grey skies or blue

All kinds of everything remind me of you

1st line is Seagulls and Aeroplanes so here are Aeroplanes - a great Man card.

I used Joanna Sheen signature die of a fighter plane.

I kept the embellishments to a minimum.

Sorry that the photo has made the Mirri / holograph  card look yellowish.

Happy Birthday Vals

Good Morning All

My two friends, Val J and Val C both have birthdays today.

I made Val J's card ages ago and posted it for an Allsorts DT card HERE.

It was A Christina box die and card in Black & White.

Well here is the card I made for Val C.

Sadly the embossing does not show up too well, but it is from the Papercraft Essentials magazine that Sandra from Cotswold Crafter Blog kindly posted to me.

And Val J had brought the Sentiment stamp set & Die to match,  to Craft Club so I stamped afew of them to take home.

Added afew butterflies.

A pretty card.

*****************
In the swap group I am in on Facebook, we have just completed a swap of making at least 3 Stick Pins and packaging them nicely.
Here are the ones I received from Debbie Vignola in Florida USA.

A gorgeous Pi cushion too.

And here is my parcel to Debbie.

These are lace Stick Pins.

I made this card using a Bugaboo digi and  JND heat embossed butterflies and dragonflies.

Raffle prize

Good Morning All

On Facebook I am in a group for Crafters Chat in Spain and the lady that administrates for it is holding a raffle to raise money for ...... I think it is an animal charity.

I had made this Pram Blanket for no-one in particular, so I decided to donate it.

It is about 36 x 24" and crochet in DK wool.

Here is a close up of the stitch, very pretty.

And talking of animals, here is Lola, growing fast and still as cute as ever.

Craft Club Gifts & Sketch

Good Morning All

Here are the gifts I gave out at my Craft Club on Friday.

Long, thin boxes, about 5 x 1" with a belly band to keep closed.

I added a sentiment tag on each belly band.

Inside I added a gem pick up pencil, and some gems and pearls.

*********

My sketch for this week.
And I am giving a larger prize for the randomly drawn name this week -  a set of John Lockwood Stamps - Summers Child.
You can email me a pic of your card or add a comment on my facebook page and I shall draw a winner next Friday 16th Feb, at my Craft club.
I shall post the name on Saturdays post.

Here is the sketch to follow.

Here is my interpretation.

I used Pixie Powders for the background and a mat made with Gilding Polish.

CE Pierced Ovals.

The Rose paper in the ovals is an A4 sheet free with a magazine that my sister gave me.

The Birthday sentiment is JND.

I love this twine, Jen gave it to me at Craft Club, so pretty.

Chloe

Good Morning All

I received a Joanna Sheen gift voucher from my Craft Club ladies for Christmas.

I was waiting for her to get this Chloe stamp and Die in stock.

I also got some Tim Holtz mini stamp pads so I had a play with them all here before I added anything.

I love the depth you get on this die, there is 3 layers to this petal.

And this is the finished card with a homemade sentiment.

I would also like to wish one of my ladies, Eve, a Happy Birthday today, see you later.

JND Dies

Good Morning All

My friend Val J went on hols afew weeks ago and she kindly left me some of her new dies to play with.

This is the beauty of my Craft Club, we all lend and borrow stuff from each other.

I cut out loads of the flowers and foliage in shades of pink.

Then arranged them onto a mat of CE Embossed Butterflies and pink card.

Added a stamped sentiment on the corner and afew pearls in the flower centres.

And, of course, one of my little butterflies!!!

Pretty ??

Another Box

Good Morning All

This is the very first box

I made as a practice for the tissue boxes I showed the other day.

I made a belly band to keep it closed.

Decorated the band with flowers.
This might be winging it's way to a friend when I go back to UK on 20th, not saying who but she might guess!!!!

I always obviously, make a practice one then if it turns out alright I will use it as a gift either for a prize container in Craft Club or  include it in a swap.

My blog friend Brenda, Littlelamb she goes by on commenting, sent me another pic of an Impossible box she has made, but taller this time.
Isn't it gorgeous?
I think she has used JND Flowers & foliage dies.
