Eclipse

 Hello All

We're having our first bit of snow, hopefully it won't be around for long.

My card for today is for my sister-in-law, made the inner to match by just using a small part of the stamp.

Woodware stamps, JND butterflies,Brittania Number dies and Presscut Circles.

As always thanks for visiting!

80th

Hello 

I so enjoyed making this card for one of my crafty friends, we had a little tea party at our Tuesday night class.

It's what they call an eclipse card and you can the original here, I made the insert by stamping in the corners and also decorated the envelope with the same stamp but forgot to take photos.

 I've also got another on the go for my sister in law for January....lol

Brittania and Presscut dies, Woodware stamps coloured with Promarkers.

Update on BIL is no significant change, we visited on Saturday and it was heartbreaking!

As always thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it x

25th Anniversary

Hello All

So here is my second card with virtually the same dies as the wedding card, I chose to use a picture from their wedding day. The large pinkish flower is handmade.

For some reason I didn't take a picture of the inside which I made to match the outside minus the white inner but gosh did I have trouble cutting out the  mirror card with no marks. 

I must have used at least 4 pieces of mirror card before getting a clean piece.

 My husband's brother is in a critical condition at the moment with sepsis, it's not looking good, they have him under heavy sedation.

As always thanks for your visit x

Christmas Penguins 2017

Hello All

Sharing some more Christmas cards with you, the same but different...lol

I've used Tonic and Presscut dies, Britannia word die and falling snow embossing folder, with some added distress inks ...naturally.

What do you think was your worst craft buy, mine was this........or at least

in the top 5.

I really wished I'd never taken them of the reels. I'm forever sorting it out.

Thanks for visiting,much appreciated.

Penquins

Hello All

Sharing some more penguins with you all, just used different colour scheme, these will be for brothers and sisters.

Have you spotted my little mistake....I will be sending that one to my sister....lol

The design is based on one of Jodie Johnsons from Tonic.

Mostly Tonic dies used, I think the Happy Christmas is a Britannia die, with distressed ink background and glitter.

Thanks for visiting!

80th

Hello

The girlie holiday was going so well, the weather was fantastic, if not a little too hot for me...lol but come Thursday evening my big sister fell and fractured her arm in 3 places just below her shoulder.

 She had to be taken to hospital and I can tell you spending fourteen hours in a Greek hospital is NOT much fun, my sister accepts it for what it is but OMG it's shocking.

 If I hadn't stayed over night with her, I don't know how she would have coped, there was nobody to help her in and out of bed or take her to the toilet.

It has now become one of my worst fears.

I've also just noticed my signature has gone and that will have to wait till my stepson returns from his holidays......so inconsiderate....lol

So onto the card I made for my husband's aunt., she celebrated her 80th with a small family party but sadly I missed it as I was on my girlie holiday.

Using a selection of dies from Sue Wilson, Britannia, Spellbinders and Heartfelt Creations.

As always thanks for the visit I really do appreciate it!

70th

Hello All

Today's card is for my boss's wife, who will also be 70 this month.

Used Tim Holtz dies, the flowers stamps were freebies on a mag, the numbers were Britannia Dies.

Sadly at the weekend my mother-in-law passed away it was very quick and unexpected. 

We had visited her on Friday evening, Saturday she was taken into hospital and she passed away on 

Sunday morning. 

She was 87 and had had a good innings as they say but she was still living on her own and looking after herself.

We are still a little numb!

Thank you as always for your visit it is much appreciated!

Hello everyone

I'm sharing the card I made for my brother's 60th.

One of the ladies at the craft group I attend showed us how to do the design and I couldn't wait to have another go when I got home and make it into a card for my brother, it's the same technique as the bird card a couple of posts ago.

The stamps used were free Sheena stamps from various mags, distress inks and dylusion gold paint through a stencil for the sun rays, Britannia dies for the numbers and SW  pierced tags( I think).

Thanks for visiting, it is much appreciated.

70th card

Hi all

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas.

I was pleased that I had finished my Christmas cards and made a good start on January's birthday cards before we went away on our Christmas break, until I was told about a little get together for my aunt who was 70, we couldn't make the get together but I had to make a card didn't I? 

I loved the result (for short notice).

As always thanks for your visit, I do appreciate it.
