Birthday.

 

Hello

I have a reminder on my phone to post to my blog, so why do I keep forgetting!

Anyway, here's my card, made for a crafty friend’s birthday.

 

I used Christina Griffiths and JND dies.

Thanks for visiting, I really do appreicate it!

100!

 

Hello

How are you doing, it’s certainly warmed up a bit….

Thanks to Brenda for the advice on my blog but it just keeps telling me there is a error so will just have to live with it!

Sharing some cards, I’ve made for two ladies who have reached the grand age of 100!

I don’t know the ladies personally but saw the posts on Facebook and thought why not, I’ve got loads spare as I’ve made a few since lockdown.

 

The first one was for Lillian and I went for some humour on that one, her favourite colour is purple.

I used Art Impressions stamps coloured with Zig Real Colour Brushes. Christina Griffiths  and unbranded dies.

The second one was for Millie; didn’t know her colour choice so went with my own.

The perfume stamp was from an old Creative Stamping, again coloured with Zig Real Brush Colour Brushes, Christina Griffiths and some unbranded dies.

 

 Thanks for your visit really do appreciate it!

Good Friend

 

Hello

I seem to be getting later with my posts, I get so engrossed in my craft room!

Hope you are keeping well; our snow is starting to melt but still very cold.

Bogger seems to be doing it's own thing again as my layout has changed and I don't know how to get it back.......

My card today was made for my good friend Julie, who's birthday was in January.

5 x 7" Card Blank

I used Card Making Magic , Spellbinder and  JND Flower Dies and the verse was a Phill Martin stamp that came with a magazine.

As you can see Mr Pickle wanted to join in with this card!

Thank you for your visit, it’s very much appreciated!

A trio of cards

 Hello

I hope you are all keeping well, I'm doing OK but working one day a week is really tiring...lol but joking apart, even though it's not very busy I'm finding it so tiring that I'm in bed by 9.30. Don't think I'll cope when I have to go back to 3 days a week!

So there is a mixture of cards here using various products.

This was for my neice, the layout was from our weekly whats App group (as we can't meet in person) using Christina Griffiths dies and coloured with Zig Clean Colour and sorry can't remember the make of stamp!

This was the one I thought I'd forgot to take a photo of, it was for my friend daughter. Using Crafts Too dies and Daisy B stamps coloured with Zig Clean Colour.

This was for another niece, using Crafts Too, JND and my Zig clean colour sorry, yet again can't remember who the image is from.

Thanks vor visiting!

Flowers

 Hello

Hope you are all well, we've decided on our flooring just negotiating the price...lol

So I've taken the bold step of opening an etsy shop, I've not loaded many cards yet but it's not something I'm sure I want to do, I get stressed with commissions so the cards uploaded have been made before and can be adapted.  I will see if I get any hits and go from there.

So my card today was for a crafty friend and because she lives local and I could drop it in I added some dimension and made a coordinating box as well.

I've used Christina Griffiths box dies and JND Tatty Daisy (I love this flower die) with some various leaf dies.  

Thank you for your visit, it is much appreciated!

 Hello

Well I don't know about you but I'm fed up of the rain now!

Painting done, had a couple of selections of flooring but as usual struggling what colour to have, not sure if any of you have heard of a floor product called Kardean, well that's what we are having in the living room but with a wooden floor effect but we can't choose between lightish oak or darkish oak... what are we like. When we do finally choose I hope it can be down for Christmas!

So on to my card, it was a friends anniversary in September and this is the card I made for them.

The stamps were free with a magazines and the papers were from Lily of the Valley which they don't do any more only via digi and I'm not keen on digi papers. Coloured with Zig Clean Colour and Christina Griffiths dies.

As usual thanks for your visit!

These were the goodies that I won from craft stash.
