MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT..............FOOD AND OR DRINK


Hi , and a big warm welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

Also a big warm welcome to anyone that just pops in to look at what I have created.

Today starts a new challenge over at
It's the B Teams turn and the theme  chosen by our lovely Sue is Food and Drink.
 It is quite sad as she has had to stand down from our DT because of family reasons, and shall be missed by all of us as she was on the DT the longest.

I made my first card a few weeks ago for the challenge, and my Grandson's 14th Birthday.
The second I made quickly last night as we have a few DT members who are ill or can't manage to make something because of commitments.





The first card was made with a digi image, and is coloured with Promarkers.
I added glossy accents to their eyes and the tomato sauce.
The second card I made with Hunkydory card stock and images. 

Please pop over to the challenge blog to see my other teamies wonderful creations, and try and enter if you can.

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

BABY GIRL CARD INSPIRED BY KEVIN'S CARD


Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have not been around today, but my back has been playing me up and I can't sit for long periods without being in pain.
So I always craft to take my mind off the pain, and it always seems to work for me that is.

On Saturday a new Allsorts Challenge started and the theme is a re-run of one of their fave cards that anyone of their team mates has made putting their own take on it.

So here is my take on Kevin's card for Challenge No: 379 New Beginings. 



Here is Kevin's beautiful card for that particular challenge that inspired me.


 So thank you Kevin for the inspiration, and getting me to make a shape card I have never made before.

The papers, and the image on mine are from the Joanna Sheen Baby Love CD.
I inked the edges with Memento Rose Bud Ink.
Then I added some satin baby shapes to the card, and a bow.

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

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY


Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends and visitors.
I can't believe it's Friday again, and tome to join ERIKA HERE 
with an Oldie for Friday.
This is all just for fun, but a super way to show some of your newer friends what you have created in the past.
So here is mine for this week the image was a Freebie on a blog, but I am so sorry as I can't remember the name of the blog so I can't give it a mention.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
The image was coloured in with Pro-Markers, and Flexmarkers, and I added Glossy Accents to the goggles.
I don't know if I have shown this as an Oldie before so excuse me if I have.

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

LOVE MY DOG

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

Well I don't think it's the internet that has been 
playing up, but my old computer, as it's getting 
on now just like me, and as it's a iMac so I need
 a windfall to buy a new one as I love my wonderful big screen as it helps with my eyes.
Well enough of my woes on to today's card.



This is a 6"x6" size card, which I cut into this
shape with the Spellbinders Labels 1 Die.
The image is a LOTV one, and coloured in with
Chameleon pens.
Still trying to get used to them.
Papers printed from the Tumble Ted CD.
Not put any sentiment on it as it's not for anyone
in particular.

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

SUGAR SKULL BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog everyone that visits 
me.
I do hope you all had a great weekend.
Thank you for all your really great comments.
I very much appreciate your time spent visiting
me, and all the wonderful encouraging comments
I get from you.
I know there are some very talented people out
there so your visit is very important to me.

It was my Grandson's 16th Birthday on Saturday,
so after a long hard decision I decided to make 
this style card for him, as I had bought him
clothes with skulls on for Christmas.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I made the backing paper out of the image, and
my Decoupage 2 CD.
The Grandson and Happy Birthday were cut
out on my ScanNcut.
I used the piece that usually goes in your snippets
box for my Grandson sentiment, and put Cosmic
Shimmer Glue in the recess, and then added some
Cosmic Shimmer Midnight Snow Glitter.
I also used lots of Snippets of card to back my
image, and sentiments, so I'm off to the Snippets
playground to join in the fun, and games.

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

MISICAL THEME CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
A big welcome to my newest follower, and thank
you for choosing to follow me.
I do hope to see you visiting me quite often to see
what I am creating.

Sorry I have been missing for a few days, but I
have been very busy, as it's my Grandson's 10
Birthday on Tuesday, so I have been busy baking,
looking after him, and his sister while their parents
went out Birthday present shopping.
I have also had to make his card which I was 
quite late making, and a card for our keyboard
player in our little singing group.
So I will stop waffling on, and show you the 
quick card I made for our keyboard player.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.


This card is 7"x7" in size.
I used an old Hunkydory topper and card to
make this.
I did my usual thing of copying the card to 
create the inside.
I nearly forgot to say I had a happy accident while
making this card. I wanted to use my cosmic shimmer gold glue dots but they were so old they 
wouldn't go into dots, so I just brushed the deges
of the card with it instead, and got that lovely 
gold effect.
I used some of my snippets out of my snippets 
box for the brown die cut underneath the image,
and inside the card.

Thank you again for your time, and visit, and 
also all your wonderful comments.
I will be round to visit your blogs tonight after
my singing practice this afternoon, that's if I'm
not too tired, as I am getting on and will turn
65 later this week. lol.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

21st BIRTHDAY CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.
I do hope your weekend is going well, and that
you are all feeling okay.

Thank you for the comments on my shopping
bag.

I have a card and box I was asked to make for
a lady that contacted me, she was so impressed
with my blog that she wanted me to make a 
card and box for her Sons 21st Birthday.
She said he was a fan of anything vintage.
So this is what I came up with.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.



The box.



This is a 8x8 size card and box to fit.
I distress inked the white card with Antique 
Linen Distress Ink to make it look vintage.
I matted with kraft card, and then cut out my
Grand Labels 1with gold mirri.
I then cut out the slightly smaller size in white
thin card and distressed this with Tea Die 
Distress Ink.
I then randomly stamped vintage images all
over to make it look like bought paper.
I added a computer sentiment to the  Nesting
Labels 1.
Finished my card off  with a Kanban Vintage
Topper, and some buttons from my stash.
The box I made to match with doubled up
card to make the box stronger , and then
decorated it to match.
The lady in question was very pleased with
the result.

Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

precious to you, especially this time of year.

HOME SWEET HOME

Good morning dear blog friends and visitors.
Sorry I haven't posted anything for a few days my mojo got up
and did a walk about. lol
THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments on my sister's
jewellery she makes.
She also told me her mojo has done the same as she needs to
make a necklace for her daughter's friend and can't get any ideas
popping into her head.

My card today is one for my granddaughter who has moved 
house recently.

Click to enlarge.

Now the inside.


The odd shape card, I bought from the NEC  on a stall that
sold everything for a pound. There were 3 in a pack with 
envelopes for £1 a really good value for money I think.
The papers I bought yesterday from supermarket news stand
in a book form really lovely papers and good value for money
as well. 
I platted some very thin ribbon from a lovely tutorial that
the lovely Wilma Brown sent me. Thank you Wilma.
You can find this here.
