BLUE AND WHITE ANNIVERSARY CARD.

 

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

 

My it has been windy with that storm, my Garden Rocking Chair has walked right down my garden path, but it can stay there till it all settles down as I don't want to be hit by anything flying around out there.

I feel for those that have to go ut in it.

My late Aunt got hit once by an advertisising sign that blew of the side of building while she was waiting for a bus she was in hospital for ages and could only see double of everything for ages.

 

Today I have a Anniversary card I made for my Granddaughter last July and haven't shown it yet.

 


This is a 8"x8" size card.

The glitter card is Tonic and such a gorgeous shad of blue.

The Heart shape is a Tattered Lace Die.

I used a Carnation Craft die Leaf Swag Die for the little flowers and foilage.

Unfortunaltly the flowers got lost in the heart as they were the same colour, but looked okay in real life.

DIGI IMAGE BIRTHDAY CARD

 

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

Hope you all have had a great weekend.

For me it was catch up on some needed cleaning jobs.

 

Today I have a card I made for my step son's wife, she loves the colour purple.

 


This is a 8"x8" size card.

I coloured the digi image of the girl from Pink Gem designs ages ago with promarkers and put it on another card which I didn't like so took her off that card and put her on this one and can say I am happier with this one.

Waste not want not as they say and it was a pity to throw it away as I havn't the eye sight any more to do Alcohol marker colouring.

I never was very good at it either.

The larger flowers I made and  also the leaves and coloured them with distress inks and then put glossy accents on them.

I used a snippet of silver glitter card for the matt to the digi image.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

THROW BACK VALENTINES DESIGNS.

 

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

 

As it's nearly Valentines Day and now I have no one to make Valentines for anymore I thought I would bring back a couple of makes I made some years ago for my late hubby.

 

An easel card I made with a digi image and coloured with promarkers and a fine black pen for the button holes.

The lid of the jar is my own design and I am quite pleased how it turned out.

Next is a little book I made.
 




I can't remember what size the book was but I think it was about 5".

The paper used was from a cheap 12x12 paper pad bought either at the Works or the Range.

I won the wonderful circle inserts in the pockets and on the outside and back of the book from a friends blog.

I just felt these were worth another  look as some of my blog friends were not visitng me when I showed these.

 

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

GRANDDAUGHTER'S 14TH BIRTHDAY CARD.

 

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

 

I do hope everyone is keeping well, and for those that live in the North of the country I do hope the stroms havn't affected you too much.

Here in the South of the country it had just been a slight wind, and quite mild at the mo.

The last storm we had though took the felting off the large roof of my shed that Tony used to use as his radio shack.

So that had to be replaced.

 

Last month was my yougest Granddaughter's Birthday, and I was running out of ideas for her card, then suddenly came up with this design.

 


This is an 8"x8" size card.

I started by matt and layering with some Tonic mirri and plain card stock in pinks.

Then I cut out some water coluring card stock from Crafters Companion, and spritzed it with a Nuvo Pink Mica misting spray as my background.

The image is from a Hunkydory little book.

I cut out the Happy Birthday which is a Sue Wilson Die with a snippet of pearlised card left over from a wedding card, and also spritzed that too.

Then I inled the edges with Distress Oxide Ink in Worn Lipstick. 

Flowers made from Daisies, I just took out the centres and added some yellow prills, inked the edges of the flowers with the same ink as before, and then added some leaf ribbon to them.

 

Thank you for visiting and your precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment made.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

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

I went to a family wedding back in late October of last year, and haven't shown the card I made for it so I have used it for my DT this month.

Those of you that know my wedding cards, know that I like to add the colour of the bridesmaids dresses to my wedding makes.

The pearlised card is from Pink Frog Crafts.

The dies used are Tattered Lace.

I decided to use some of the lace die cuts to edge my corners too.

Flowers from my stash and arranged by me.

I also added some bling which  turned out to be brill as the bride had a lovely bling waist that almost looked like a belt to the beautiful wedding dress.
