ENCHANTED FOREST CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.

Thank you so much for your visit, and your precious time.

I very much appreciate every visit, and comment.

Today I have a card I made with some of my lovely Graphic 45 papers from the Enchanted Forest Series.

This is a 8"x8" size card I made from black card.

The green shade of card is from Tonic, and distressed the edges with scissors.

The papers, and images are from the Graphic 45 Enchanted Forest 8" pad.

I painted some inside of cardboard with Starlight paints in the top right hand corner.

The leaves are die cut from black card painted with Starlight paints.

My mesh flowers had a plastic backing on them so I took that off to give them a messy look, and sprayed them with Phill Martin's Old Gold Shimmer Mist.

Sorry that doesn't show up too good in the photo.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

GRANDDAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and I do very much appreciate your wonderful comments.

Today I have a card I made for my Granddaughter's 17th Birthday.
Now those of you that have known me for a while will remember her brother turned 17 3 years ago and was bought a car for his Birthday lucky young man.
So now it's his sister's turn to turn 17,and she got bought a cream mini.
Good job they only have 2 children otherwise it would cost them the earth.
So here is her card I made her.

This card is a 8"x8" size.
The pink mini image is one I bought from C&C when they first started broadcasting so it's very old.
I made the backing paper out of my 3D Decoupage CD again.

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

NBUS BUTTERFLY AND SNIPPETS CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
I am sorry I have been missing for a few days,
but I had a big order for cards for family members,
and I am not sleeping too well at the moment, so 
after a few hours crafting I get tuckered out, and 
the days seem to be getting shorter or is it just me
getting older.

Well I managed in between making the family 
cards to make this one that fits 3 challenges so
I do hope you like my idea, I tried to make it 
look like a picture on a living room wall. 
Not sure if I succeeded though.

This is a 6"x6" size card.
The NBUS items used are the papers, and the 
stamps to create the snowy scene.
The arch picture frame is to comply with the
Butterfly Challenge.
Snippets used on this are the card I stamped on,
the gold card for the center of the papers, and the
bronze, and cream card for the arches. 
I used some acetate on the picture frame too
 which doesn't show up on the photo.

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

GRANDSON'S 18TH BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog all my very talented
friends, and visitors.

May I welcome my newest follower, and thank 
you soooooo! much for choosing to follow me.
I do hope you visit me as often as your time can spare.

It is my Grandson's 18th Birthday today so here 
is the card I made him.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
The papers used are from the DCWV 12x12
Butterfly Garden Pad.
I don't know what happened to the top right 
hand corner in the picture as it looks warped, 
but isn't on the card.
Maybe it was due to the pearlised card, and the
light.
The pattern under the gold buttons was cut on 
my ScanNcut, and also the Happy Birthday.
The 18 was cut out on my Cricut machine.

Thank you for your visit and the wonderful
comments you make.

friends, and visitors.
Thank you for your really great comments on my 
last card.
I very much appreciate your time and visit.

Well tomorrow is Friday and this week has been 
eventful to say the least.
On Tuesday I had to call an ambulance for my 
DH as he was in so much pain.
He spent 24 hours in hospital, there and they did some tests, but could not find the cause.
He is fine now, and hoping it won't come back.

Today I have a card made for my Sons Birthday.
Now he rides a motorbike and has done some
motorbike training with Kent Police.
He also loves his bicycle and thinks nothing of
going out on a 50 mile cycle on a Sunday morning.
He also does spinning at the gym when he's not 
out of the country with his work
I am not happy with how this one turned out.
The distress inking doesn't seem right somehow.
See what you think.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
I have used Jolly Nation decoupage and papers,
I bought years ago .
I distress inked the papers and card with a 
mixture of Fire Brick, Peacock Feathers, and 
Faded Jeans.
Nearly forgot that I used some of my snippets 
for the die cuts so this means I can enter the 
Pixies Playground challenge.

Thank you again for your kind visit.
I do hope these nasty floods are not affecting
any of you lovely people, because there is more 
horrible weather on the way so they say.

MR TUMBLE'S SPOTTY BAG WITH A DIFFERENCE.

Good afternoon dear blog friends and visitors.
I hope you all enjoying your Bank Holiday weekend and that the
weather where you are is kinder than it is in KENT.
They said we were going to have a fantastic weekend weather
wise. Well I can tell it's very dull and overcast here, and it's tried
to rain once or twice. Had to rush out and bring my washing in
not long ago, and I hate leaving my craft desk when I'm 
creating. lol.

THANK YOU sooooooooooo much for your kind and wonderful 
comments left on my last card.

Yesterday I looked after my little great granddaughter for her
mother as she works on a Friday, as  her usual babysitter was
not able to have her.  When my granddaughter and my other
great granddaughter dropped off Ellie her sister Faye who's
Birthday it is on the 10th said to me are you making me a card
with Mr Tumble on this year.  Now how can I not make her 
what she wants. So this is my effort. 

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

I thought for a while, what I would do this year, so it wasn't the
same as last year, and this is what I came up with this morning.
The bag card was made with 3 A4 size pieces of card.
The papers inside are from the paper stack book I bought a 
few weeks ago.
I edged round the bag with glitter ribbon, and also used some 
to strengthen the handle.
I think I will make a plate stand for it so it stands up.

Thank you again for your visit.
If your weather is not nice like mine is, then I hope you manage
to do some crafting. 
I do hope you have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

IVORY ON IVORY WEDDING CARD

Good evening to all you wonderful and talented blog friends
and visitors.
I hope you have all had a wonderful Saturday.
THANK YOU for all your comments on my last creation.
Well I'm in full swing now and have just finished my wedding 
card, really I finished it at lunch time but had to let the glue set
before photoing it. So sorry the photos have come out a little
darker than I would have liked.
I am quite pleased with how this has turned out. One of my 
happy dance cards.
The ivory pearlised card I used was a lovely brocade type, but
sadly it's not showing in the photo.
This card I bought many moons ago and never wanted to use it.
You know the sort you buy and wish you had bought a whole lot more because it's so lovely, and then never want to use it till now.

Click to Enlarge.

Now the inside.

I am going to make the box for it tomorrow.
I made a slight mistake and used white centura pearl card for
the base card now I wished I had used the ivory as I had both.
I suppose it was one of my senior craft moments. lol.
Still I think it doesn't show much.
Thank you again for sparing your time to visit and make such
wonderful comments, I very much appreciate them all.

BARBECUE MAN

Hello dear blog friends and visitors.
I am so sorry I have been away for such a long time.
I needed to catch up on my housework that went all haywire over 
the past few weeks.
I also had to go back to Wales as I had booked to go to the NEC
Stitch and Craft Show with my sister who lives there.
I bought some lovely goodies while I was there.
We visited on the Sunday and as you all may know the weather

spent far tooooooooo much money as you do. lol.

THANK YOU for all your wonderful wishes and comments.
I very much appreciate every one that you make.
I am still suffering with this problem I have got in the top of my
spine. The pain has now gone but I'm left with a great deal of
numbness in my left finger tips. Luckily it doesn't affect my 
crafting only my typing, good job I don't do that for a living. lol.
I know some of you might think this is carpel tunnel syndrome,
but I had that op 5 years ago.
Well that's enough of my probs there are peeps a lot worse off
than me.

Today I have a card I made for my daughter's partner.

top of my spine.
 
This evening I have another card made for another grandson.
