I am adding this video talking about raising funds for La Finca Castellana Animal Rescue centre.

These are little Matchboxes I have made with a poem inside to give to a friend or loved one.

The video explains and the poem is delightful.

This is the poem, I Googled What to put in a Matchbox and this came up.

If anyone would like to donate I have included the link on the video.

Or you can donate regularly on Teaming .net which is what I do, who misses a couple euro or pounds per month???

Thank you

Masculine for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challlenge this week is

Masculine -  for the man in your life.

I made a Valentines card  using one of the monthly subscription plates from Groovi.

I Picot cut part of it out and matted onto red Mirri card.

I used  brads to attach it and two of them were hearts

I made two more cards using LOTV toppers.

I added a metal corner and a charm tied with twine.

Prize on offer is a similar Nautical themed stamp to this one from Brenda.

Junk Journal Ephemera

 Good Morning All

I have been making bits for Junk Journals, as you saw in my last post - crocheting, abit of allsorts really.

Here are afew decorated paperclips snippets and journal envelopes I have been making for my journals and notebooks.

These are made using butterflies from Gi Kerr on Etsy and hearts punched from book pages.

So cute.

These are snippets I have made using scraps. I use these to decorate paper bags or to make a corner pocket on a page.

And these are journaling envelopes.   Folded papers into the shape of an envelope and closed with a punched circle

Also, I have been trying to tidy up areas of my craft room.

These were in a bag on the floor, lots of ribbon, lace and trims, so I wound them around card and put in a box so I can see what they are at a glance.

Now I need to make more journals and notebooks for everything to go in!!!

Here is one I have made from a tutorial by Treasure books on You Tube.

Here is my take on it.

This will be going in the Charity box at the shop.

Bits & Bobs

 Good Morning All

A couple of card I made with Tina Cox on a Zoom meeting afew weeks ago.

This one was teaching how to make a look alike gemstone.

Not too bad for my 1st time.  I had some good comments on Facebook within the group.

These are both big cards, 8x8 as I have been using my parchment and designer papers that I have die cut the middles out of, so using them as mats and layers.

This one was going back to basics and using various plates.

The plates used are all included in the starter kit from Clarity.

-------------------

I have been doing alot of crocheting too and this cardi I am really happy with

I know it doesn't match my pants but I was only trying it on for photo purposes!!

I am now making another one for one of my Craft Club ladies.

Here is my Shrug, I may have blogged this before.

Excuse my PJ's

I have also been playing with Alcohol inks, this is my 1st time doing this but I loved it and they would look great for matting parchment onto.

Thanks for visiting, I do appreciate all your lovely comments.

My Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

My challenge this week is the general theme around blogland

Hearts

So I am showing yesterdays Allsorts DT card again and a Groovi one I have made.

One of my Craft Club ladies gave me a bag full of buttons so I pulled all the red ones out and made a couple of cards like this.

I die cut a heart and glued them on randomly and added tiny pearls where there was a space.

This Groovi one is made with one of the Clarity Groovi Club plates.

I did it on black parchment and matted on to red Mirri card.

Onto last weeks challenge which was a sketch.
