RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE......SEPTEMBER 2019

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

I can't believe it's the 25th of the month already and time for the 

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE 

over at Scrappymo's blog.

The challenge runs from today the 25th to the end of the month.

ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.

It's anything goes as long as it's Christmas themed.

Maureen usually has a wonderful prize for the lucky winner, and it all helps with your Christmas card makes too  before all the rush of Christmas.

Here is my DT card I made.

  

This is a 5"x7" size card I made to fit that size envelope.

I used a lovely Recollections stamp and die set that Maureen sent me to make this.

I coloured the truck in with Distress Inks and white gel pen.

I also coloured the fir branches and trees with more DI, and white gel pen.

Then I added some snow onto glue, finally I embossed the green card and the white frame with a 3D Snowfall  embossing folder, but it doesn't show up much on the photo, but if you click on the photo to expand it you can see this.
Finally I stamped fir branches inside the card, and the verse is a Crafters Companion stamp.

I do hope you can join in this month.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

RETIREMENT CARD AND BOX

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

I do hope you all are keeping well, and for those of you feeling poorly or under the weather I am send lots of get well wishes your way.

Today I have a Retirement card and Box I made for my daughter's work colleague. 

The card is 8"x8" in size and the box I made to fit it.
Forgot to mention that I made this card blank by cutting down 2 A4 size cards.

The lady in question has a Black Lab dog so the request was for that on the design. 

The image is

 Pollyanna Pickering's art work, and papers from her CD which was lent to me from a friend.

I decided to go with a hinged design to accommodate the little 4" cards to sign by all the staff.

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

I really appreciate every visit and super comment you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

CHRISTMAS CARD IN AUGUST

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

I can't believe how time flies so quickly lately.

I have been missing again as I had a few things to do, and I had to make a rush wedding card and box for a neighbour.

Don't forget it's Rudolf Days Challenge starts tomorrow.

So I am just about going to make the Allsorts Challenge with this card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The image is a TL die now I don't own this die I just bought some die cuts from EBay as I wanted this die, but couldn't afford it at the time.

I coloured it in with Pro- markers, and white gel pen, and then put some glitter on it.

Made a mistake putting the pearl on the rabbits tail I think.

My colouring isn't too brill these days because of my eyes. 

The paper is from the MCS Wonderful in White CD.

Sentiment from the Internet.

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

I really do appreciate every visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

HUBBIES BIRTHDAY CARD

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

Well are you all melting with this HOT! weather.

I have found a good way to cool down I run a flannel under cold water and lay it on my face and my neck, and you can't believe how that cools you down.

Never thought of it before, but I used to cool the children's temps when they were ill like that.

Try it if you haven't it really works well. 

Today is my hubbies 78th Birthday, and this year I thought I would put Marilyn Munroe on his card as he has always loved her photos especially black and white ones as he used to take lots of photos at one time, and has always loved black and white photography.

So I won the Quirky challenge last month, and won $15 of digi images from Ike's Art and this was one I chose with Hubbies card in mind.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The digi image is from Ike's Art.

The papers are a Cuddly Buddly download, but they were brown.

So light bulb moment hooray.

I printed it in brown, and then copied it in black and white.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

GD CARD FOR THE RUDOLF CHALLENGE......MAY 2017

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

As I mentioned yesterday this month I am GD for the Rudolf Days Challenge over at 

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG/ RUDOLF CHALLENGE MAY 2017 

The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month.

As always it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas. 

There is always a wonderful prize to be won, and it means you get your Christmas cards made early.

So please pop over and take a look at the lovely creations my wonderful other Guest Designers have created.

So here is what I created this time around.

This is a 6.5"x7.5" size tent card.

I started by adding a matt of Silver Rainbow Mirri card.

I then cut out a frame in red card, and embossed it with a Crafters Companion 8"x8" size embossing folder which has lots of Christmas words in different fonts.

I then added die cuts with lovely stars on in white to the inside of the frame.

This die was a cheap purchase from

 E Bay and made in China.

My evening image came from the Internet, and I added some glitter to the snow parts, and created some snow droplets.

Lastly I added some holly leaves and pearls as berries.

Thank you so much for your visit and the wonderful comments you make.

They are sooooo! much appreciated.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

FIT BIT 8th BIRTHDAY CARD

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

A couple of weeks ago it was my Great Granddaughter's 8th Birthday, and my Daughter wanted a card to go with her present which was a Fit Bit.

I asked what colour Fit Bit she had bought her and it was purple so this is the card I made her.

I must say my Great Granddaughter Faye loved it, and thought it was brilliant to have a card the same as her present.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I made the backing paper from the photo of the Fit Bit, and my 3D Decoupage CD which makes backing paper.

Just added some sequins, and a lovely bow made by Wendy to the card.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT CARD................BIRDS AND FEATHERS

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

Today starts another challenge over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.

and it's the B Teams turn, and Jackie is our lovely host this time around, and she would like to see Birds and Feathers on you entries please.

The challenge runs from 13/4/17 and closes on Wednesday 26/4/17 at 6PM.

This is just for a Top 3 Badge, but we all love to see your wonderful creations entered.

So here is what I came up with.

This is a 8"x7" size tent card.

The bird paper was a freebie download from the C&C club website I just love the colour.

Now I made a bit of what Darnell calls a Boo Hoo as I stuck the paper down, and then decided to frame it, but the frame was too short for the size card so I improvised with the top die cut and feathers to cover it up, and I was quite pleased how it turned out in the end.

So this was what we call a happy accident.

Now I have funny tale to tell about the wet room.

DH and I sat and talked about who was going to use the new shower first yesterday morning, I said you can be the Guinea Pig.

Well he turned the shower on and no water went down the drain hole ooops nearly had a flooded wet room.

The fitter forgot to tell us he had turned off the pump that extracts the water.

After a few frantic calls we were told where to find the pump switch.

Only could happen to us. lol.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

GRANDSON'S BIRTHDAY CARD

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

Tomorrow is my Grandson's 13th Birthday, and he is a goalie in his football team, but lately he has started to play Basket Ball.

So this is the card I came up with for his Birthday this year.

This is a 8"x7" size card .

I cut out the frame with Sue Wilson's Rectangle Die set, now I only have the B set so I used snippets left over from other projects to give me my inner frame.

The image is from the Internet, and so is the emojo basket balls inside.

Love how this one turned out.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time, I really do appreciate your visit, and comments so much.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

REMINDER OF THE RUDOLF CHALLENGE...................AND SNIPPETS CARDS

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

Just popped in today to remind you all that the

 Rudolf Challenge starts over at

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG 

  on the 25th of the month.

This runs from the 25th to the end of the month, and it's a wonderful way to get some your Christmas cards made earlier than you usually would.

You can also win a lovely prize too.

Now as this month I have a rest from being on the design team  I thought I would make a couple of cards out of snippets so I could join my lovely friends in the Snippets Playground.

I won the lovely Scotty Dog Die on the Pixie's Snippets Playground a few months ago.

I had the idea for the design of the first card from a Christmas Gift Bag I received, and the second was the negative that was left when I die cut the Scotty Dog out of Snippets of holographic mirri card to glitter.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUBBLE WRAP NBUS CARD

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

Darnell's new Nbus challenge No 10 starts today.

Nbus stands for never before used stuff.

This her third week of challenges to celebrate her 5th blog Anniversary.

So congratulations to Darnell on her 5th blog Anniversary. 

I missed the first week as I had quite a few family commitments so I was determined to join the last 2 weeks.

 This morning on her post she showed some lovely cards made with bubble wrap.

So here is my version of a bubble wrap design.

This is a a 6"x5" size card.

The Nbus items are the flowers, the butterfly,and the sentiment.

With my bubble wrap I used Pixie Powders Peacock Green, and Fireworks Burst, and then when it was dry I rubbed Creative Expressions Enchanted Gold Gilding Polish on it and polished it.
I backed the bubble wrap with black card to show off the pretty  shades.

I think this came out quite lovely don't you.

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

BUTTERFLY QUOTES CARD

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

I do hope you all have had a good week.

I have been quite busy myself with lots of jobs to catch up on because when I craft lots of jobs get put on hold as I get so involved with my crafting.

 Well I tell a little white lie as I did make a couple of cards in between for the challenges I like to support.

So here is my entry into the Butterfly Challenge this time around.

This card is a 7"x6" size.

I found this lovely quote on the Internet with the lovely butterflies surrounding it so I printed it off and decoupaged the gorgeous butterflies.

I added a Sakura Glitter pen in red and black to the wings, and antenna of the butterflies.

I also drew around the lovely flourishes, and leaves with the pen also.

Thank you so much for you visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Sending big hugs to those of you in need of a hug this morning, as I know a few friends that are in need of this.

So here is what I am entering this month.

I matted and layered the image, and then added some suede ribbon to the side with wooden snowflakes on top.

Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.

RUDOLF CHALLENGE........MAY 2016

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

Well we have arrived at the 25th of the month yet again, and it's time to post the Rudolf Challenge card for this month.
Joining in this wonderful challenge gets some of your Christmas cards made earlier than you would normally do.
The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month over on Srappymo's Blog.
So feel free to join this great challenge.
My card is a bit out of my comfort zone.
Those of you may know I won Mary H's candy, and in my wonderful goodies she provided was this glorious Penny Black stamp.
I tried to follow the colouring on the photo of the stamp as best as I could.
So here is what I made with it.

This is a 6"x7" size card.
I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
I then coloured it with Derwent Water Colouring Pencils on water colour card.
I added some stickles, and white pen for the snow drops.
I don't know how I did it, but I dropped a bit of red colour on the right hand side, and didn't have time to do it again.
So hopefully you think it's okay.

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

GRANDDAUGHTER BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Today I have a card I made for my daughter to give her Granddaughter as it was her Birthday on the 10th.
Now my little Great Granddaughter does gymnastics, and also goes to running classes as she is quite a fast runner, and loves to run so her parents put her into training classes.
I searched the digi picture sites till I found the image I put on this card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
I bought the digi image from the Digi Stamp Boutique and coloured her in with Promarkers.
Then I photographed the image and made the backing paper to match on my 3D 2 Decoupage CD.
I inked the edge of the paper,and the image with Colour Cloud Rose Blush Ink.
Now those of you with a keen eye will notice I put the paper on upside down silly me, but it still looks okay I think.

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

ANNIVERSARY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
I really do appreciate every one.

A few of you mentioned using my last card again, but I unfortunately didn't have it back from my sister before she passed away, and don't like to bother my BIL at this sad time.

So onto a happier note, today I have a card I made for my Stepson, and his wife's 3rd Anniversary.
They have been together for 10 years, but only married 3 years ago.
I know her fave colour is purple so this what I came up with.

This is a 8"x7" size card.
I again drew around the largest of the Sue Wilson's Pierced Rectangles Die, and cut out my base card.
I then layered up with the die, and cut out a aperture which I used a snippet of card and double sided stick sheet, and added some Cosmic Shimmer Glacier Ice Glitter.
I also added some corner die cuts to each corner inside the aperture.
The flower is the same die as yesterday's flowers just pinched the flower petals the other way to give a type of Lily looking flower.
The button on the bow is purple, but it looks black in the picture.
Cut the sentiment banner by hand.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RUDOLF CHALLENGE......APRIL 2016

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing, but my Daughter was on holiday from work last week, so my Daughter, Myself, and my Granddaughter had a lovely week enjoying each others company, and doing some shopping as us girls like to do.
We had a wonderful time.

So today is the start of Aprils Rudolf Challenge.
This runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month on Scrappymo's Blog HERE
All you have to do to enter is make a Christmas card, and enter it into the Challenge. 
It is a really fab way of getting some of your Christmas cards made.
So here is mine for this month.

This card is 8"x7" in size.
I drew around the largest die in the Sue Wilson Double Pierced Rectangles die, and then cut out my layers.
I used the Sue Wilson embossing folder Swirling Holly in the center, and used a gilding wax on it.
I stamped the design around the frame with Pine Needles DI.
Not happy with how it came out, but tried every way to get the design stamp, and the sentiment stamp to stamp better, but they must be faulty or something or maybe that's just how they are supposed to be.

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