OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to my blog all my very talented
friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing for a few days.
I have been making a commissioned wedding
card, and bag which I will show you once the
wedding has taken place.
I also had a phone call offering me a appointment
for my back, which I went to yesterday, and the
news is all good.
My body has done a wonderful job of healing
itself, and I won't need physio.

This is my Oldie for Friday, now Bibiana
mentioned on her blog that October is Breast
Awareness month so I thought I would bring
back this Oldie I created last year for the 
Breast Awareness.
So if you would like to join Erika   HERE
in this wonderful challenge just for fun, please
join us.




This is my usual 8"x8" size  card.
I made the breast cancer ribbon out of card and
some sequins.

Thank you for your visit, time, and all the 
wonderful comments you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

GET WELL CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
As most of you know I went to Wales to see my 
sister recently, well after I left she took quite ill, 
and is in hospital at this moment.
Nothing too major but, enough to put her there
for a few days at least.
So I made this card for her.
I thought I would go with yellow again as that
colour is bright and cheerful, to cheer her up.

 Now I wrote on it before I photographed it so
hence the odd position of the inside.

Ingredients for this card.

A3 white card made into a 8"x8" size card.
I used my Cupcakecrafting Floral Delights CD
for the papers.
While at the NEC my sister bought me a little
card kit so I used some of the items to decorate
this card.
Ribbon flowers made out of the card kit.
The butterfly is a peel off and put onto the 
snippets of paper left over from my exploding
box.

Thank you again for your visit and your 
precious time spent visiting my blog.
Thank you also for all your wonderful comments
on my work.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

So this post will run this evening and all day tomorrow.
THANK YOU for all your lovely comments.
I really do appreciate every comment.
I was on a fellow blog site and saw this challenge, and as I
thought that this is a very worthy cause, I am posting this.

I embossed the pink card with That Special Touch Mask 
A4 size sorry I don't know the name of it.
I made my my Breast Cancer Ribbon out of some pink
paper from my stash, and glued some little flower braiding 
to it. Then I added some flower sequins with a pearl in the
middle.
Put it together with a stone brad.
I cut 4 Spellbinder Fancy Posts for the corners, then I added
some more sequins, some feathers, and last of all tag made 
out of Spellbinders Lacy Circles.
I hope you can all join in this challenge, because it's such a 
worthy cause and needs highlighting.

ANYONE FOR A CUPPA

Hi and good morning to my wonderful blog friends and visitors to my blog. I hope you had a wonderful  Bank Holiday weekend, and the weather was kind to all of you.
THANK YOU for all your lovely comments and giving up your precious time to visit me.
My card today was inspired by my creation for the Tea and Cake
Challenge. I needed to make a card for my Brother in Law's Birthday at the beginning of September, and I was at a loss what  to create, then I did the challenge card and had this thought.
My Brother in Law loves a cup of tea. He drinks about 20 cups a day. He only like tea leaves, and a cup and saucer, a mug is a no no. So here is the card. I hope you like it. By the way the tea in the tea cup was my hubbies idea. What a good one I think. What do you think?



Now a close up.




And finally the inside. 



The recipe for this card.
An A5 ready made card blank with fancy edging. Navy card from my card stock, paper a freebie with a craft magazine. Free digi image from the internet. Coloured in with Promarkers. I used the Spellbinders Elegant Posts for the corners and to decorate the inside too. Sorry I can't remember the name of the Spellbinders
Label used to mount the digi image on, but I'm sure most of you will have used this one at some time.
Well thats all for today folks, and thank you again for your interest and visit.
Have a wonderful crafty Tuesday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny.
