VINTAGE HALLOWEEN ALBUM


Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
I would like to welcome my newest follower, and thank you for choosing to follow me.
I do hope to see you visit as often as your time allows.

Been busy making a Vintage Halloween Album today so I can join the Frilly and Funkie Challenge.
The last challenge I managed to get a Top 3 badge with my Harry Potter card, so I was a very happy bunny as I haven't been making these types of cards for very long.
Sorry this is a bit picture heavy.







The Album is 7"x6" in size.
Some of the papers are Graphic 45, and some are Pink Gem ones.
The images I found on the internet as I didn't have any Vintage Halloween ones.
I inked the edges of all the papers, and images with Rusty Hinge DI.
The flower was one I have had for ages, and the gold leaves were created with Starlight Paints, and then die cut them.
Added afew skeliton leaves some bats and a vintage clock face.

Thank you so much for your visit.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

HAREBELL CARD


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

I needed to make a card for the Butterfly Challenge, and this time around it is H for Hoops and or Harebell well I can tell you this really used up some of my brain cells trying to think of a card to make.
Mr Mojo was having a few tantrums as well.
So I finally got it all together last night, and I am quite pleased with it.



This is a 5.5"x 7" size tent card I made.
The image of the Harebell flower is off the internet, and I added some Glamour Dust to give it a glittery look.
The hoop is a frame covered with gems.
Now to the colouring on the edge of the card this really did give me a headache, but I finally inked the edges with two different inks to get the colour I was after.
They were Versa Chlk Ink Petuna, and Memento Brilliance Pearlecent Blue.

Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
I very much appreciate them all.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE 39 K IS FOR KNOTS

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for you visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
It is very much appreciated as I know time is
precious to all of us.

I seem to be suffering with a sore throat this last 
few days.
Lets hope it's not the start of anything else, as I 
am very lucky, and don't get colds very often.
Just about 1 a year so I suppose maybe my 1 is
due perhaps.
Right enough of my waffling, and onto my entry
into the Butterfly challenge for this fortnight.
As they want to see knots here is what I came 
up with.



This is a 6"x6" size card.
Now I had trouble with the antenna of the 
butterflies as I coloured them with Promarkers,
and only after I had photographed them did I 
notice how bad they had turned out.
There is no sentiment on this as I don't know yet
what occasion it will be for.

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

choosing to follow me, and I hope to see you
as often as you can manage a visit, as I know

Thank you also to all my followers who 
continually leave me such wonderful comments.
They do make me so happy that you like my

Today I have a card for the Snippets Playground,
so I am off to join in the fun at the playground.
Last Week our monitor Sarn made us play tag.
I do hope you all enjoyed a blast from the past
tagging our fellow playmates.



This is a 6"x6" size card.
The papers are Dovecraft, and a NBUS item.
The stitched circle is a item I won on a 
comment on new items, by Memory Box.
I die cut my flowers out of snippets of card, 
and inked them with DI.
The flowers and the sentiment were stamped
with Memento Ink.

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

BITTERFLY CHALLENGE AND SNIPPETS CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the 
wonderful comments you make.
I love to read everyone, and am so pleased that you have visited me.

Now the Butterfly Challenge No 36 is for you 
to use Washi Tape on your entry.
Well can you guess in amongst all my stash I
didn't have any Washi Tape shock horror.
So as it's the last few days before the challenge 
finishes, and Ashford in Kent doesn't have a 
craft shop anymore I started to panic, and 
thought I wouldn't be able to join the challenge
this time, but good old supermarket 
Sainsbury's had some in their stationery 
department.
So here is what I made.



This is a 6"x6" size card.
I used DI in Milled Lavender, Peacock Feathers,
Yellow Pan Pastel, and a Chalk Box ink in a
peach shade dabbed on white card with a sponge.
Then I sprayed it with a Crafters Companion
Spray and Sparkle Pearl Diamond.
The Washi Tape is behind the butterfly, and I
attached some to some snippets card, and cut
out the corners, and flowers.
My inside circles is a die I won on Bibiana's
Spanish blog when Memory Box were showing 
their Autumn Collection.
This is a Halloween Die, but I snipped out the
Halloween parts, and added a circle to the back.

Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
