On looking at what my teamies had already chosen to do I decided to make a tissue box.

I just sprayed it with a mixture of Tattered Angels mica sprays to get my colour.
The images are a download from C&C, and I printed them on photographic paper.
My Daughter  loved this so I gave it to her.

THINKING OF YOU AND SYMPATHY CARD


Hi, and big warm welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

Also a big warm welcome to anyone who just pops by to look at my work.

Now those of you who have known me for a while might remember I used to sing in a group that entertained people in nursing homes.
Sadly that all fell through when our keyboard player passed away 2 years ago.
Well last week I went to a funeral of another of our lovely singers.
The instructions from the family were to wear something sparkly  not dark as she loved her bling and was such an outgoing person, and could sing beautifully.
So this is the card I made for the family with that in mind.



This is a 6"x6" size card.
The papers are Hunkydory, and the bling butterfly image was from a freebie pad you got with the stones to make it.
Think I made a Boo, Boo, with the trail from the butterfly. 
I think it should have larger stones to smaller ones.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
It is always so much appreciated.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Hi, and a big warm welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

Also a big warm welcome to anyone who just pops by to look at my work.

I do hope you had a lovely Easter whatever you were doing.

Before I went to Wales to visit my sister I had to make her some Baby Books that I made for all her other Grand Children when they had their first Baby.
This Grand Child is having her first in May, but doesn't want to know if it's a Boy or Girl till it's born.
So I made one of each to take there in case.
Here is the Girl one sorry a bit picture heavy.










This is a 6"x6" size book and box I made to fit.
The papers, and the image are from the Joanna Sheen Baby Love CD which is no longer available I'm afraid.
The Baby items are from my stash.

As usual it's raining in my part of Kent it nearly always rains for Easter.

Hi, and a big warm welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

Yesterday I thought I would make some Easter cards.

I used gold mirri snippets for my matt and layering on the first just joined it in the middle, and the backing yellow card for the shaker part is a snippet too, not done a shaker card for ages.
The second one is the snippets cut off of the A4 sheet of Hunkydory card stock.
Flowers I have had in my crafting arsenal for about 10years just cut out some John Lockwood's leaves to go with them. 

Will be joining my Snippets playground friends with this.
