Hello Everyone

The weather isn’t improving is it! I did manage to get a few plants planted out but still a few to do.

Glad to say the roof is finished and looks really nice.

 

My little card this week is for a friend from craft class who will be celebrating her 50th Wedding Anniversay at the end of May.

I've used Linen Card, Along with Spellbinders and Heartfelt Creation dies. 

Thanks for your visit I really do appreciate it!

Hello

 

I’ve remembered!

Roof is still work in progress, weather hasn't been great to be up on a roof, they worked Sunday and got drenched but should be finished next week.

I have some ATC's to share with you today.

These have been made for a direct swap; we take it in turns to pick a theme and these were the first three months.

A variety of techniques used, lots of distress inks and Lavinia stamps on the first, zig real Colour and Stamps from a mag on the second and papers for the third with Hero Arts stamps.

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!

Woodware

 

Hello

How are you?

I’m a little stressed, the weather is horrendous, so no more work on the roof, the wind is lifting the plastic where the ridges are and making one heck of a noise and I’m worried about it blowing off and the neighbours complaining, the weather may be like this for a couple of days!

I’ve had a new Woodware stamp and had a little play. 

It was supposed to be a spotlight card but I didn't make the spotlights big enough, so I just added them back in with some 3d foam tape, which meant I had a twofer all I needed to do was colour the purple one.

Watercoloured with Faber Castell.

 

Thanks for your visit I really do appreciate!

Over the pond.

 Hello

How are you doing?

It’s turned rather cold again, we had a couple of BBQs the weekend and now it’s freezing again.

I’ve got plants waiting to go in but waiting for the frost to disappear and roof to be repaired before I put them out.

So my little card went over the pond to my friend Lis.

I used some new papers from Craft Clearance, spellbinders ovals and JNB butterfly, the stamps came with a magazine.

Thanks for your visit I really do appreciate the support!

JND Butterfly Plate

 

Hello

Hope you are all keeping well, today is very dull, not sure if it’s going to pick up.

It was while making the black and white stepper card that I decided that a new ink pad was in order (after a bit of wearing and a few photos to John).

So, I’ve started to put the date on the back of my pads at least that will let me know how old are they, one of my crafty friends says she’s on her 3^rd new black one since lockdown. Wow!

 The stepper card is using morning mist (as the new black one hadn’t arrived, which I think gives it a softer look and the multicolour one is distress oxides stamped with a new black ink and wow what a difference..lol ( I think they should last forever!) and it should have been an easel oval card but I put the butterflies upside down so had to take it apart and redesign it.

 

 Thanks for your visit I really do appreciate!

Hello

Well, the weather is still a bit strange isn’t it, I’m sure this time last year we were having a heatwave!

The last couple of days have been ok and I’ve ben able to get outside for a couple of hours.

Sharing some more ATC’s with you, most of these were for swaps but the doodles ones were sent as RAK’s.

 

Lots of different mediums used, with lots of inkiness and stamps.

Thanks for your visit I really do appreciate!
