WENDY'S F/BOOK SKETCH CHALLENGE CARD

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

Also welcome to anyone who just pops by to look at my work.

Here is a card I made for Wendy's sketch challenge on F/Book.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

I had been after the Appl Blossom card kit since seeing it advertised in my stamping magazine.

Hubby was having one of his no spend times so I was having to sit on my hands, and bite my nails as I really wanted this.

A good blog friend suggested buying in the supermarket with my shopping,

so he wouldn't know, but every time I looked there was none to be had.

Till last week I spotted one right at the back of a shelf.

So my card is my version of Wendy's sketch from the Apple Blossom kit.

Stamped the flowers with izink ink, and used a Crafters Companion glitter pen on them, and of course the butterflies are from Wendy our team leader.

The pale card is actually a very light peach card which looks cream in the photo, and is the other side of the orange card.

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

I am always so happy to read your lovely comments.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY 

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT................WEDDING/ANNIVERSARY/ENGAGEMENT

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

Today starts another challenge at the

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.

and the lovely Wendy is our host for the B Teams turn.

She would like your entries to be WEDDING/ ANNIVERSARY/ or / ENGAGEMENT.

Wendy is giving a lovely prize of John Lockwood stamps to the winner.

Also there is a chance to be in the top 3 and receive a badge for your blog. 

The challenge runs from Thursday the 6/7/2017 to Wednesday 19/7/2017 at 6 PM.

We love to see your creations entered as there is so much wonderful talent in blogland.

Please pop along to my lovely Team Mates to see their wonderful creations they have made. 

So here is my effort I made this for my Daughter's works to give a colleague who was getting married.

This is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to fit the card.

The card image is a download from CraftsUprint and I just tweaked a few items.

On the inside I made up lots of little cards in the pockets for each individual to put their wishes on.

Carried some of the theme onto the matching box. 

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE 57.......Y IS FOR YEARS AND OR YELLOW

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

Today is the start of another

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE

and the theme this time around is Y for years and or yellow.

So as I had something made up in yellow I thought I would enter it, but I don't have any of the years part on it.

It's another one of my tissue boxes which I have been making for the stall I am doing at my daughter's works fund raising event.  

 These are so easy to make.

For the base it takes 3 A4 sheets of card.

I buy my tissue boxes from the supermarket starting with T, and they measure just under 5" tall, and 4" one side, and 4 and half inches the other side.

I cut down 2 A4 sheets of card to 5" and then I score at half an inch, 4 " and 9 and half inches on my Hougie board.

You cut off the rest that is left over, and glue together.

The lid is slightly over 6" by slightly over 6 and half  inches, and you score one inch around all sides, and this makes the lid.

Don't forget to make your aperture before you glue the sides of the lid as I have done that a few times. LOL.

Then it's ready to decorate how you like.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time as I do know time is very precious to all of us.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

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

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

I very much appreciate all your wonderful comments on my work.

My Daughter works for a charity that looks after clients with learning difficulties, and they are having a fund raising event in August so I am steadily trying to make things to sell on one f their stalls to help.

So if I'm not about much you know the reason why, but I will try to keep up as much as I can.

So onto today, and it's been a few weeks since I joined ERIKA HERE 

with an Oldie for Friday.

It's all just for fun, but a delightful way to show your newer followers some of your older work.

So here is mine this week.

This is an A5 size card.

I used a Hunkydory image, and card stock that came free with their magazine a few years ago.

I added a a doily, and a few Spellbinders Parisian Die Cuts around my sentiment.

The stick pin I made.

Thank you again for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE NO 54.............R IS FOR RECYCLE AND OR RUBY RED

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and your precious time commenting on my work.
I very much appreciate each and every one.

Today I have my entry into the Butterfly Challenge No 54 which is R for Recycle, and or Ruby Red.
Now I had been contemplating on this one, and suddenly today I thought of what I could do.
So I recycled a bag you get your Pandora purchases in.

The second picture is so you can see the Rose I made some time ago a little easier.
This bag is about just over 6"x6" in size.
I started by measuring the bag, now don't laugh as I am not very good with measurements, as I have mentioned before.
I cut 2 pieces of red card just under 6"x 6" in size.
The white card was snippets left over from a A3 size of card that I had cut down for another project.
I inked the edges of the card with Fired Brick DI, and then I spritzed the card with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists in red.
I stamped a butterfly with the DI, and added some dots with a Promarker.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

So we would like to see your creations with Dancing on them.
Take a look at the lovely examples from my fellow team mates, and please try and join us.
Here is my effort.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
Now those of you that know me well know this is my fave size of card. 
The image is a Hunkydory one from the Little Book of Decoupage.
I embossed some white card with a mask I bought at the NEC 3 years ago, but there was no name on it.
I then inked it with Victorian Velvet DI.
I used some stickles on her dress, shoes, scarf, and hair as I thought that was what they usually have on their lovely dance dresses.
I made the roses, and the leaves.

I have scheduled this post as I will be looking after my 2 Grand Children, and we will be baking again.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS CARD

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

Spent yesterday looking after my little great grandson who is 7 months old.
He is so good, and no trouble at all, and I enjoyed every minute as he is such a content baby, my granddaughter had so much trouble with his sisters when they were little.
They didn't like shopping or the car, and used to cry,and play up while she
was either shopping or in the car going any where.
 I must admit I never had those problems with my 3 at all.
So perhaps I was one of the lucky ones.

Today I have another Christmas card
to show you.

This is a A5 size card.
I must admit I don't make many of this size card, as I do love square cards which you may have noticed.
Papers and the image are from the Crafters Companion CD Nordic Christmas.
I embossed the backing paper with 
the similar embossing folder, and inked the edges.

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

would do this so she paid £20 to the Macmillan
Nurses charity, and emailed me the receipt.

Birthday card, and box for a lady who lives in
the sheltered flats next to me so everyone can 
sign it.
