THROW BACK VINTAGE HALLOWEEN ALBUM

 

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

I don't have any use for Halloween cards so I thought I would bring back and old Album I made quite a few years ago as newer followers would not have seen this.

 






This is a 7"x6" size Album.
The papers I used are Graphic 45, and Pink Gem ones.
 
Thank you for your visit and precious time.
I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE .....OCTOBER 2022

 

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

Sorry I have been missing this month but it's been a bit of a hectic month with the Macmillan coffe morning at the begining of the month which we collected £172.95 a little down on previous years.

Also my Daughter has been on  holiday from work and we have been going out together.

Had my covid jab also which made me feel ill for 36 hours.

 

Today I am posting my Rudolf Days Challenge card as it's not my month for DT so I can enter the challenge over at.

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG

As always it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

The challenge runs till the end of the month and you could win a lovely prize too.

ONE ENTRY PERSON

but you can have multiples of cards on the one post if you like.

Here is my entry into this moths challenge.

 


 


These are 6"x6" size cards.

Both very similar but just changed the stamped image of the Robin on the branch slightly different on the second card.

All stamping was done by hand on the front of the cards and coloured in with Derwent water colour pencils.

The snow was done with bleed proof White Ink.

Just added a touch of stencilling to the edges of the cards with Distress Oxide Ink.

The stamp used was a freebie from a stamping magazine a few years ago when I used to subscibe to it.

Verse inside was stmped with a platform. 


Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES...DT...CHALLENGE 147........SKETCH

 

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

 

Well it's the start of a new month and time for a new challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

The challenge this month is hosted by our Team Leader the lovely Diane-Louise and she has chosen a sketch.

 

The challnge runs from today till the 29th of Oct 2022.

This is what I went with a masculine version for a change.


 

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The images are from a Hunkydory Book of Mens images. 

I backed them onto card stock as they are a sort of paper image.

Then I  put a black permenant marker around the edges instead of matting them.

The British ILes map is also from a Hunkydory paper pad with maps on.

Type written Birthday Wishes is from a Hunkydory book of type written sentiments.

Card stock and paper used is also Hunkydory. 

 

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
