21st DAUGHTER BIRTHDAY CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the 
wonderful comments you make.
I very much appreciate everyone that you make.

For those of you out there not feeling A1, I'm
sending big virtual hugs, hoping this will help
a little.

Today I have a card I made in hurry as it was
needed quickly, so I turned to The Pink Gem 
website for one of their downloaded card
creations, and I think these are wonderful if
your in a hurry, and they are so good value
for money.




This is a 8"x8" size card and box to fit.
This is a wonderful design for a young lady 
turning 21.
I printed it on pearlised card stock to make it
look special.
I also coloured the card stock with Tumbled
Glass DI to match.

Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

SNIPPETS CHALLENGE CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the
wonderful comments you make.
I feel thrilled that you like what I have created.

So onto today's creation.
I made this entirely with snippets from my 
snippets box.
When I make and 8" card out of an A3 size 
card I have a bit left over, which gave me just
the right size for this card.



It was embossed with a freebie embossing 
folder from a craft magazine.
The plant pot is a very old snippet, and I cut
out the flower die, and coloured it with chalk
inks.
A very simple card, but the recipient loved it.

Thank you for your visit, and precious time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following
challenge.

JUNE RUDOLF CHALLENGE CARD

Hi and welcome to my all my very talented 
friends, and visitors.
I would like to welcome my newest follower, 
and thank you so much for your interest.
I do hope you can visit as often as it is possible
for you to do so.

Thank you also to all my followers who continually support my efforts. 
I am so pleased that you like what I have to show.

Now I usually post my Rudolf Challenge card
on the 25th of the month, but old age is 
creeping into my brain, and I got mixed up with
the dates.
So here it is a few days late, so it's better late
than never I suppose.
This challenge runs from the 25th of each month
to the end of the month.



This is a 5"x5" size card.
I tried to do a tunnel card, but it didn't turn out
too good so I managed to create this instead with
what was left of the card.
I forgot to put a sentiment on it.
The papers and the Robin image are from the
Cupcake Crafting CD A Walk in the Countryside.

Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

SUMMER TIME CONCERTINA CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the 
wonderful comments you leave.
I very much appreciate everyone that is made.

I enjoyed making my last card so much I thought
I would make another to join in the Pink Gem
Challenge.
They want to see creations with a summer theme
so here is what I came up with.




This is a 7"x7" size concertina card.
The papers I down loaded ages ago, and I can't
remember where they were from.
I glued them to pink card with Collall Photo
Glue.
The image is a Hunkydory one again, and the 
little girl with the ice cream is a Pink Gem 
Image I chose when I won this challenge last
month.
These are so easy to make, and I know there is
a concertina die, but I haven't got that, and to be
honest I don't think you need it.

Thank you again for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

HUSBAND BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing again, but my back is
still troubling me, and sitting at my computer is
quite uncomfortable for long periods.

Well today is my husbands 76th Birthday, and 
also Fathers Day so here's hoping all Fathers 
enjoy there day.
I lost mine two and half years ago, and there isn't
a day I don't miss him.

So today I have the card I made my husband.
It was inspired by this creation Pam made HERE 
so thank you so much Pam for the inspiration,
and I do hope you like my take on your 
fabulous card, as I didn't have all your dies used.




The size of this card is just under 7"x7"
I cut it out with the largest Spellbinders Label
One Die.
The fishing image is from Hunkydory, and the
inside fishing paper is from the Crafters Companion Men's CD.

Thank you for your continued support of my 
work.
I very much appreciate it.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE AND SNIPPETS CARD

Hi and welcome to my all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have not been around this last week, but
when I was in Wales visiting my sister who was
in hospital, my brother in laws car got a nail in
the side wall of his tyre, and as new cars now don't have a spare tyre we were transported back home
on a breakdown lorry, and all the jolting, and the
journey home has given me back problems again.
It's still not quite right but a lot better than it has been.
I must say the driver of the breakdown lorry was
a maniac driver, and I think he thought he was on 
a motor bike the way he took bends, and corners
swaying from side to side.

Well I did manage to make a card yesterday
for the Butterfly Challenge, and the Snippets
Playground, as I did use up some snippets on it.



This is a 6"x6" size card.
The papers are from a pad I bought at the 
supermarket.
I cut out some of the butterflies, and decoupaged
them, and also put some glitter on them.
The yellow and lime green card are from my
snippets box.
 The flowers are cut out from a Sue Wilson die,
and I added a orange promarker to the edge of 
the flowers.

Thank you for your visit, it is as always very
much appreciated.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
Well I'm back from Wales, and my sisters op
went quite well, but she will need a further op in 
a few months time as she has lesions in her liver.
Nothing is ever straight forward for her poor 
thing.

As today is Friday I am posting my Oldie for Friday, so if you would like to join in with us just post and older creation that you have posted
before, and leave a comment on Erika's blog HERE  and she will in return comment on
your post.
It's all just for fun, but a wonderful way to show 
your older creations.
So here is mine for this week.




This is a 8"x8" size card.
The image is a Sherri Baldy Bestie, and it's
coloured with Promarkers, and Flexmarkers.
The glitter paper I thought looked like sand, so 
I used it.

Thank you so much for your visit, I will try
and visit you in return shortly.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
