GRAND PIANO

Good morning dear friends and visitors.
Sorry I haven't visited you for a few days, but I seem to have 
slowed right down to a snails pace lately. Everything seems to 
be taking me ages to do. Maybe it's my age. lol.
THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments on my sister's
work. 
I very much appreciate you sparing the time out of your busy
lives to visit me and make such fabulous comments.

Today I have a card I have made for the people who come to
entertain my ladies club I run on Tuesday afternoon.
Talking about which it is our last day today as we are closing
the club, because the lady who helps me is not well and can't continue running it with me and I can't manage it on my own.

Click to enlarge.

Now the inside.

The paper and image used was one I found on the internet.
I made a slight mistake with the cosmic shimmer glue dots
on the right had side of the image, but except for that I was 
really pleased with the black and white of the card.
Thank you again for your visit.
I do hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

PINK PARISIAN BORDER CARD

Hi and good morning to all my talented followers and visitors.
I hope you had a really fab day yesterday. 
I would like to welcome my new follower Dr Sonia from
Bangalore, India.
If you look at my blog comments for yesterday you will 
find her blog address. Try and pay her a visit as she has some
amazing tutorials on there.
She is very keen to recycle lots of our every day items, that
I think is wonderful idea. Less waste in our bins has got to 
be a really good thing.
THANK YOU sooooooo much for all your wonderful
comments on my tag No2 yesterday.
I really do appreciate every one, that is made.

My card for today is one inspired by Sue Wilson.
I'm not sure when she made a similar one but the border
idea was on one of her cards.

The ingredients for this.
An A5 card made for A4 card stock in Centura Snow White
pearl card.
Matted with pink pearlised card stock.
I then cut 4 Spellbinders Parisian Borders and layered them.
I cut out a Parisian Motif with center part cut out for the 
sentiment.
I added a very large bow and recycled a few of the cut outs,
and last of all I added some Cosmic Pearly PVA glue dots.
A quick and simple card to make but very effective all the 
same.
What do you think.
Thank you again for visiting my blog each day.
Have a wonderful crafty Saturday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

WHITE ENGAGEMENT CARD

Hello and good morning to all my followers and visitors.
Well we are half way through the week now.
Can you believe it is Wednesday already.
THANK YOU for visiting my blog and taking the time
to leave me a comment.
I really do appreciate everyone that is made. 
You are soooooooo kind.
Before I show my card today I would like to tell you a 
little thing my great granddaughter said the other day.
My daughter and granddaughter just arrived to have a 
meal with us. They also brought my 2 little great 
granddaughters with them one is just 1year old and the 
other is 3 years old.
The 3 year old came in and saw we had moved the 
dinning table to eat our meal.
She then said whats going on here then.
Well we all really started to laugh as it sounded so 
funny.
Nothing gets past our little Faye she is a treasure, if 
you know what I mean.
Now to my card. 

The ingredients for this card is.
An 8x8 size card this one was made out of A3 Centura Snow
Pearl card.
Matted with silver mirri card.
Then I embossed some more snow white card with
Spellbinders Enchanted M-Bossability folder.
Moving it to line up the design.
I cut out 5 of the largest Spellbinders Labels Twenty Four.
Then I cut out the 3rd size out of the middle of each.
I then cut out 4 of the 3rd size, and cut the inside of these
with the 2nd size. 
This gave me 9 of the labels 24 frames.
I then layered them with mounting foam to make up this
pattern.
I then added the size 2 of the labels to the centre and a
Parisian motif to the centre of that.
The corners were made with the sizes 2 and 3 cut in half.
I finished it off with a triple bow and a few bits from my
stash.
Cautionary tale if you use Cosmic Pearly PVA glue on
pearlised card the dots go flat as this one did.
So therefore it would have looked better with flat back 
pearls, but what do you think.
I decided to show this card even with imperfections
as I thought the design was worth you having a go at.
I hope you like it.
Well thats all for now folks.
I hope you can understand my babble.
I hope you all have a very wonderful crafty Wednesday.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny.

90th BIRTHDAY CARD an BOX

Hi to all my wonderful blog friends. Well we are half way through 
the week already. Time does really fly when your having fun, and
I am having so much fun posting my blog, and receiving your lovely comments. I feel I have found a brand new family, and you all have been so gracious to accept me and my work into your crafting family. So may I say a big THANK YOU to you all.
My post today is a 90th Birthday Card and Box. I made for my Father's lady friends Birthday. This one I made for my sister to give her.  

Sorry I didn't photograph the inside of my cards when I made this one.
Now to the box.

Info on what I used for the card and box.
The card is a 6x6 size. I used Centura Pearl Snow White Card.
matted with gold mirri and then I used the Glitter Girls cosmic
embossing board and made layers of cream and peach pearlised card. I used one of the Glitter Girls acetate domes and put one of their flowers into it. The corners are Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Accents, and the bow is vintage ribbon bought from C and C with a pearly button from my stash.
The box is made out of the same card but A3 size this time. I used That Special Touch Mask Doily to emboss the mirri board layered with a circle from cosmic board and then a Spellbinders Lacy Circle on top. Made the 90 with my Cricut machine, added a few Cosmic pearly dots and some flower sequins. A big double coloured bow with the same pearly button, and lastly a flower with the Spellbinders Spiral Blossom Two die.
I hope you like it. In hind sight I should have left off the Happy Birthday peel offs. What do you think?  
Thank you again for visiting my blog, and I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny.

RED and WHITE SPELLBINDERS CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you all had a really good Saturday. I live in Kent and it was really hot yesterday, but I understand not for everybody in the country. I don't like it too hot, but listen to me moaning when some of you had dreadful weather.

Today's card is a red and white card I made for my Daughter's Birthday in July, but I never gave her this one as I remembered she had asked me to make her one with Tulips on.
It's my usual favourite size 8x8 white card. Matted and layered with red holographic card. I then used a Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Enchanted folder and white card and embossed it. I cut out two red strips of card and mounted them on foam pads. Then I cut out 4 Spellbinders Parisian Accents and glued them back to back. Put a strip of red stones in the middle. The strips of stones were a bargain in a pound shop, for the pound you not only got those strips but 2 larger stone strips, and a sort of swag
too. I cut out Parisian Accents motif and lacy circles too and mounted one on top of the other. Then
I coloured my large flower with a red whisper pen and put some glitter glue on top of the flower, and a white stone from my stash in the centre. I added an organza bow with a red stone oblong centre piece from my stash. Finally I finished off the edges of the Parisian Accents with Cosmic shimmer Pearl PVA
glue, to make the pearly dots.
I am sorry about the left hand side of the card. The white on the edge of the card seems to have merged
with the white card background when I photographed it.
Well thats all for now, I hope everybody has a really lovely Sunday, and I also hope you enjoyed looking at my card today.
