OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to another Friday Oldie with ERIKA HERE.
It's all just for fun, but delightful way to show something you have made earlier in you crafting life.
I can't believe how quick these Fridays come around, or is just me slowing down to a snails pace.
I am having a few probs with meds which makes me feel very tired and sleepy all the time so it's taking me a lot longer to get everything done, but the doctor doesn't want to change them as they are the 4th lot I have tried, and the sleepy is not as bad as some of the other side effects I have had.
So onto my Oldie for this week, I am not sure if I have shown this before so excuse me if I have.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
The image is from the Pink Gem Website, and coloured with Promarkers, and Flexmarkers.
Papers are from Papermania Heather Collection.

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

SUMMER TIME CONCERTINA CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the 
wonderful comments you leave.
I very much appreciate everyone that is made.

I enjoyed making my last card so much I thought
I would make another to join in the Pink Gem
Challenge.
They want to see creations with a summer theme
so here is what I came up with.




This is a 7"x7" size concertina card.
The papers I down loaded ages ago, and I can't
remember where they were from.
I glued them to pink card with Collall Photo
Glue.
The image is a Hunkydory one again, and the 
little girl with the ice cream is a Pink Gem 
Image I chose when I won this challenge last
month.
These are so easy to make, and I know there is
a concertina die, but I haven't got that, and to be
honest I don't think you need it.

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

I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

BABY BOY CARD AND BAG

Hi and welcome to my part of blog land all my
talented friends, and visitors.
Did you remember your clocks ?
We have so many that it takes my DH ages to adjust the times as he loves to mend old clocks,
as a hobby, so you can imagine, how many there 
are dotted around my house.
He is currently renovating a lovely very old 
American shelve clock.

Not nice weather in my part of Kent today, so I 
do hope it's better wherever you may live.

Here is my card, and bag I made for my Granddaughter's new baby boy.

 
 




The card is a 8"x8" size as usual, and a bag
made to match, out of A3 PMD card stock.
The papers on the card are from Joanna Sheen
Baby Love CD which you can no longer buy.
I also printed out New Baby Arrival cards from
the same CD, which I added to the inside, and on the front of the card.
I put the photo of Ewan behind a frame I bought
from C&C many moons ago in a big set of 
chipboard card embellishments.

Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful
comments you make.
I very much appreciate your precious time as I 
know time is precious to all of us, especially 
those of you that still work, and blog.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Hi and welcome to my blog, all my very talented
friends, and visitors that may pop in.
Sorry I have been missing this week but it's been a very hectic week for me, with lots to do and not 
a lot of time to do it.
Plus I was not feeling to well either which slowed
me down even more than usual.

So it's Friday again and time to share your older
creations with ERIKA HERE
There is so much fun in bringing back your 
Older creations, and some of your newer followers
may not have seen these.
So come on have a go I know it's just  for fun, and
no prizes, but a very good idea.
So here is mine for this week.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
The papers are from the Dessert Blooms Pad.
The digi image is a Mo Manning one, and 
coloured with Promarkers, and Flexmarkers.
I do miss being able to colour in images, but my 
eyes are not good enough to see the lines 
properly now.
Still waiting for my eye op, so maybe after I can
resume colouring in.

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

BABY CARD AND BAG

Hi and welcome to my blog all my very talented 
friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments, and welcome back wishes.
I very much appreciate all of them.

I'm back today with a Baby Card and Bag my
granddaughter asked me to make for a friend.
This Baby was born on New Years Day, and was
rushed into St Thomas's Hospital for heart surgery.
Surgery was very successful, and she was home in
about 4 or 5 days after the op.
Just amazing what the surgeons can do now.




This a 8"x8" size card and bag to fit.
The papers and the image are from the Joanna
Sheen Baby Love CD.
I cut out the teddy border on my ScanNcut.
The pram on the bag is a Tattered Lace Die.
The bag is made from 2 sheets of A3 PMD card.

I used some snippets left over from the card on
the bag decoration, so I'm off to the snippets
playground to join in the fun.

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

friends, and visitors.
Thank you for your continued support of my 
work, and all the wonderful comments you 
always make on my work. 

Well I can't believe it's Friday again already. 
The weeks are just flying by and soon it will
be the C time of the year.
Now as it's Friday, it's time to join Erika HERE
with your Oldie for Friday.
I was visiting Erika's blog yesterday and she
posted the most beautiful book she had made
for her mother to carry pictures of her 
grandchildren in her bag.
 So this reminded me of my little baby books 
I made, and I thought my newer followers
might like to see them.
I made 8 of these over a period of a year, as my
sisters grandchildren were all expecting over
this period, and they were made for my nieces
and nephews to give them.
So sorry this post is a bit picture heavy.


This is the front cover.



This is the back of the book.


This is the middle of the book.


And lastly the box.

This is a 6"x6" size book card, and box to fit.
The image and the papers are from the Joanna
Sheen Baby Love CD.
I coloured my American Seam Binding Ribbon
Bow with Distress Ink to get the lovely pink
colour. 
I used pink chalk round the patterned edge of
 the box.
All other items from my stash.

Thank you again for your visit.
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.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.
 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.

BUTTERFLIES, BUTTONS, AND BOWS

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 you pop back often to see what I am 
posting.

I was overwhelmed by you wonderful comments
on my last 2 creations.
It was well worth all the hard work creating that
word book.
I forgot to say I didn't use a book template that
you are able to buy, I made mine with some
large Alphabet templates I own, and I did all 
the measurements for this my self, and cut out
the letters by hand, as someone had asked about
it.
I made 7 of these such books in different colours
about 4 years ago for my children for Christmas,
but in my excitement I forgot to photograph them.

Now today I have a card I have made for the  2nd
butterfly challenge  for this fortnight which you
will find  HERE  .
In this fortnights challenge you have to use 3 bs
Butterfly, Button, and a Bow, so here is my attempt.


CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I made the organza flowers with ribbon, and 
added a button to the center.
I added a button to the center of my bow too.

Thank you for your visit and time.
I do hope you are all keeping well.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Hi and welcome to my blog all my very talented
craft friends and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing again for a while.
As I stated last time Mr Mojo is on walkabouts,

took me days rather than just hours.

granddaughter's Birthday Party.


The card is a 8"x8" size card.

Glue to make different size pearly dots, all 
around the card.
I used my Tattered Lace Chantilly Flourish Die,
to create the inner corners.
The flowers are Spellbinders Rose Creations Die,
used in a different way, and distressed with Black 
Soot Distress Ink.
The leaves are from a Cheryl lynn C184 Flower
Die, and cut out on a lovely shimmer paper.
The stamp inside is a saying from a Creative
Expressions Stamp Set.
The Birthday Stamp was a freebie from a
magazine this month, and I used Seafoam White
embossing powder.

Now the cupcakes were made with a mold I 
bought from C and C and sprayed with cake
shimmer spray.

Thank you again for visit and time.

A4 BABY BOY CARD

Hi and welcome to my very talented followers,
and visitors.
I am so sorry I haven't been about for a few days.
I am trying to get a lot of crafty projects ready
for a craft fair I am doing with my niece, next 
weekend, and time has just ran away with me.
In between I was asked to make a Baby Card 
for my daughter, as one of her Co workers wife
has had a Baby Boy, and she wanted an A4 size
card so they could all put their congratulations in
it.
So this is what I made, this fulfills 2 things as 
the blue die cuts and the corners were made
form snippets off other cards I have made, so
I can enter it into the Pixies Playground 
Challenge, Yay.

This is an A4 size card.
The papers and the image are from Joanna Sheens
Baby Love CD.
I decided to play around with my Spellbinders
Grand Scolloped Squares for the design under
the image.
I cut out 2 squares, and used one in a triangle,
and then cut the second up and glued behind the
first to give it this pattern.
I added some pearls, gems, and little rosebuds
from my stash.
I glued some cut outs off the Parisian Dies 
around my sentiment.
Then I added a big bow.

Thank you again for your visit and time, and 
also Thank you for your wonderful comments,

ANNIVERSARY CARD

Hi and welcome dear blog friends and visitors.
Well it's a start to another new week.
I do hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
On Sunday I was busy in the garden getting
all scraggly summer bedding thrown into the 
compost bin, and planting bulbs and winter 
pansies
So now I have one awful back ache, it's all 
those muscles you don't use, until you do the
gardening.lol.

Thank you for your wonderful comments on
my last card.
I really am sooooooo grateful you take the
time to visit me.

My card is one that took me a while as I 
couldn't quite get the look I wanted.
So I put it on a back burner so to speak, and
then late Sunday afternoon it all came together.
I hope you like it as much as I do.
My Son and his wife celebrate their anniversary
today and have spent the weekend in Paris.
So this is what I came up with.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.



This is an 8x8 size card.
I made the paper by distressing it with Antique 
Linen Distress Ink, then I stamped the patterns
all over the paper with Creative Expressions
Stamp called Ivy. In this stamp set you get 
Ivy and the a lovely scrolled corner stamp,
which I used for this. I also used the Creative
Expressions Carte Postale stamp of the Eifeel
Tower.
The image is a Mo Manning one coloured in
with Promarkers.
I added some black lace, which I cut up and
used in the corners.
Some Organza Roses and some pearls from my stash .
I used some lacy material behind the image, and
for the bow. This was given to me by my 
wonderful blog friend Sue P, and I got the idea
for the bow on Sue Js blog.

Thank you again for your visit.
I'm off the the hospital with DH today, and then
it's singing parctice this afternoon.
So I will visit you all in the evening.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
