MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES DT ........................FLOWERS

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

Well I spoke too soon about  feeling better the last few days I have had a racking cough and it's  making me feel sick all the time just know it's going to start when I get a tickle in my throat nights are as bad too.
Now I have lost my voice from all the coughing

I tell you this is one nasty virus so big hugs to those suffering also.

So today it's the B Teams turn to start off 2018 first challenge of the year over at

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.

The theme chosen by our lovely Beckie is Flowers.
You have until 6.00 PM on Wednesday the 17th of Jan to enter.
Please pop over to the blog to see the lovely creations that my fellow team friends have created.
So here is what I made for my DIL Birthday a bit of a quick card this one as her Birthday was on the 30th Dec, and I wasn't feeling like crafting at all.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used some Hunkydory card stock and images to make this.
The lovely big butterfly was a present from my sister.

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

BABY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD AND BOX

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

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

I do hope you all had a super festive season, and for those of you that were not well over Christmas big gentle hugs.

I am just getting over mine, and feeling a lot more energetic now thank goodness.

Before Christmas I was asked to make quite a few special cards for people, and as I can never say no to anyone here is one of them.

 

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

Papers are from the Joanna Sheen Baby Love CD.

I sprayed them with Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle Pearl Diamond spray which unfortunately doesn't show up on the blog.

Now a tip I found out is you can print on glossy photo paper and spray it with the spray and it looks lovely.

Obviously wait for the photo paper to

to rest for a little before doing this.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

 

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES ANYTHING BUT A CARD.........DT XMAS ORNAMENT

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

Well it's time for the

 MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.

Christmas Challenge, and both Teams A and B are posting projects.

We would like to see anything but a card in your entries.

There are some lovely prizes on offer donated by my lovely team mates so it's well worth a entering if you have the time.

The Challenge runs for a fortnight and closes at 6PM on Wednesday the 3rd of Jan 2018.

So this is what I made for the challenge after seeing Jennifer McGuire video HERE.
So here is my version of that ornament.

I made a few mistakes on this.
I added too much snow to the shaker part.
The card I used on the outside was a lovely grey which I glued and glittered, but it doesn't show up much.
The ribbon also has lovely glitter on it too.
I also think I should have photographed it with a draker background.
I do hope you can join us for this challenge, but we may not be able to comment on your entries though.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY

ANOTHER WREATH

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

I have some wonderful news to share Maureen the organiser of the Rudolf Challenge has asked me to stay on for another year as her DT so I am thrilled about that.

Sorry I have been missing yet again, but I have had this awful cold that's going around, and I expect it was because I did too much with the Bazaar and the Christmas Party I organised.

I also have had quite a few last minute orders to make, as I can never say no to anyone that asks for a card.

I also have family coming to stay on Boxing Day.

So life is very hectic at the moment.

I just wanted to let you all know I was still about.

So here is another of my wreaths I made for the Bazaar.

I will be back again on Thursday with the MAWTT Christmas Challenge, and it will be well worth joining in as there are some lovely prizes donated by my fellow team mates on A and B Teams.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY

40th BIRTHDAY CARD BOX AND BAG

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

I thought for a change from Christmas I would show you a card I was asked to make.

The instructions were that the lady in question loved tiaras, and electric blue.

This was a bit of a nightmare finding that colour card, so the wonderful Ang, Mrs Duck gave me  some lovely card, and I sprayed the rest with Tattered Angels Mica spray to get my colour I wanted. 

The card has the mica sprayed colour on top, and the one form Ang as a matt layer. 

This is a 8"x8" size card, box, and bag I made to fit it.

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

I really appreciate every visit, and comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

GERMAN ORIGAMI BELLS CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTS.

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

Sorry I have been missing again, but I have had such a busy time lately.

What with the Christmas Bazaar, and it is my turn to host the MAWTT Chellenge, and also the I was DT for the Rudolf Challenge at the same time.

I literally thought I was spread this way, and that, and just couldn't get around to commenting on your wonderful creations so I am so sorry for that.

Good news though we took over £200 pound on the Bazaar.

This will be used to fund our little club we run, and hlp with our Christmas party next week.

So here are some more Christmas ornaments I made from a design I saw on U TUBE HERE I just tweaked them my way by adding ribbon and some bling.

 I do hope your like them, but they didn't sell well.

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

BOX AND SIX LIITLE STAMPED CARDS

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

Today I have some more of my makes for the Bazaar.

I decided I wanted to make some boxes with six little cards inside.

These I made  by stamping my stars on snippets of white card so I will be joining my playground friends in the Snippets Playground.

 I really enjoyed making these.

As the sentiment is also a Christmas Song I will be joining the Allsorts Challenge as well.

 The cards are 4"x4" in size, and I made the box to fit them.

I started by free hand stamping my background with  stamps that came free with the Creative Stamping Magazine.

Then I stamped my stars onto snippets of card with Memento Danube Blue Ink.

I the matted them on to non shed glitter card from the pundland.

This I did by drawing around the stars and cutting them all out with a small border as I didn't have a die for them.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RUDOLF CHALLENGE NOVEMBER 2017..................GD CREATION

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

I am back today with my last GD for the Rudolf Challenge of this year.

The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month over at 

SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG 

and as always, it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

One entry per person.
Iwould also like to thank Maureen for having me as one of her DT this year I have enjoyed my year with all the other very talented people who were her DT over this year.
I have also enjoyed looking at the very super creations entered by all you talented people out there.
 

So I was busy making things for the Bazaar, and came up with this idea of a larger wreath after seeing smaller ones on U Tube being made by One Very Happy Bird. HERE

This is my idea of a larger one.

As you can see I made the smaller ones also.
My idea was to cut out some card in a wreath shape a few times, and glue it together.
Then I bound the card with cheap ribbon.
Next I made up lots of the beaded pipe cleaner shapes as the tutorial, and hot glued them to the ribbon wreath front, back, inside, and outside, and then decorate as you wish.
This takes about 2 hours to make, and I used the beaded Christmas Decorations for mine as you get loads, and they are really cheap.

Thank you so much for your visit, and I do hope you have the time to join us in this last challenge of the year.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MORE CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTS

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

I live in a bungalow in a sheltered housing complex which has flats on the site too, and we are having a Christmas Bazzar in December so I am busy thinking, and making things ready for it.
I found this tutorial on U Tube HERE
for making pipe cleaner candy cane tree ornaments.
Now I couldn't find the right size beads she used, in my area so I went with smaller children's ones.
Hope you think they look alright.

  
I love the red , and green ones, but couldn't find more of those colour beads.
One green one I did put 2 beads in between which worked quite well.

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

CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT

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

Sorry I have been missing this week, but my Daughter was on leave from her work, and so my Daughter, Granddaughter, and myself had a lovely week shopping and doing lots of lovely things together.

I managed quite a bit of C,shopping with their lovely help too. 

So then I had a lot of house work to catch up on that got left out.

In between I was watching U Tube on how to make Christmas Ornaments as I had to make a DT project for the MAWTT Christmas Challenge that was anything except a card.

So here is the second ornament I made yesterday.

For anyone that is interested in making one of these HERE is the link.

This is my version of her wonderful ornament.
I didn't have the shower ring she used so I used a few layers of card, and wrapped my ribbon around.
There is a Snippet of Acetate on the image that doesn't show in the photo.
Also I used up lots of Snippets to make this including the image, and the back embossed card, so I will be joining my playground friends with this.
The poinsettia die I won on the playground years ago.

Thank you for your visit, and your wonderful comments.

80th BIRTHDAY CARD AND BOX

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

Been looking after my Granddaughter today as she doesn't go back to school till tomorrow.

She is my youngest Granddaughter.

We also had lunch with my eldest Granddaughter today, and her mother my Daughter.

 Before we went to lunch my youngest Granddaughter wanted to make cards.

Fingers crossed Win 10 seems to be behaving today thankfully.

Last week I was asked to make a card for my Daughter's boss who is Welsh, and in Wales we call our Mum Mam.

So here is the card and box I made her.

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

Now the order was for Lavender Colours and I didn't have any Lavender card so I sprayed my card with Tattered Angels Mica spray to get the colour I was after.

As the lady in  question  loves handbags and flowers my Daughter suggested to cascade the flowers down the handbag.

I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

The letters were made by gluing 3 lots of each letter to make them stand out nicely.

Put some ribbon on the handle of the bag to represent a scarf.

Hope you like this as much a I do.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

DRY EMBOSSED CHRISTMAS CARD

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

Did you remember to put your clocks back last night.

Now is anyone having problems with their Win 10 since updates, mine is driving me mad it's so slow, also my mouse keeps freezing, and it keeps jumping all over the place while scrolling.

Also the typing is playing up as well.

So I am sorry if I haven't been around to comment as much as it it taking me so long to comment with all this.

I did turn updates off a while ago, but they came back on automatically.

So onto my card for the Allsorts Challenge.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

The embossing folder is a Crafters Companion one.

The image is from the Crafters Companion CD Nordic Christmas.

Verse inside is a stamped one.

Thank you so much for your visit, and your patience with my comments.

THINKING OF YOU CARD

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

I went to see John Lockwood demoing at Chatham yesterday, and it was brilliant I could watch him all day, and every day as he is so very talented , and a lovely person too.

My Daughter, and her fiance took me, and my hubby, and afterwards we went for lunch.

While there my Daughter bought me John's media plates  wasn't I a lucky girl.

Got home very tired though.

Couldn't sleep again last night because of my RLS it seems worse if I am over tired.

Didn't get much sleep either Saturday night with the excitement so I expect that was why I was so tired.

So last night I started this card, and finished it today.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I started by matting, and layering my card with pink card , and Ivory pearlised card.

Then I die cut a Nbus die from Creative Crafting World Doily Die set that I bought from C&C.

The Thinking of you also came with the set, and the flowers were made with another part of the set.

Quite pleased with how this one turned out.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I began by ink dusting some glossy card with Memento Inks in Rose Bud,Danube Blue, and Dandelion.

Then I stamped the Inkylicious picture perfect stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black.

I have quite a few trees the other side of my garden fence, and love to see them each Autumn.

As I stated I made some more tissue boxes for the McMillan coffee morning so here is one of them.

If anyone would like to make one of these my tutorial is at the top of the page.

I would like to welcome my newest follower and thank you so much for choosing to follow me.
I do hope you will find time to visit as often as you can.

I do hope you are all having a nice weekend, and the weather is being kind to you.

Here in my part of Kent it's very drab and raining, but at least it's not too cold.

Our Macmillan coffee morning took £201 so I am so glad all our efforts brought in such a wonderful amount.

So here is yet another Christmas card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The lovely image is a Hunkydory one.

I added some snow to the image, and some die cuts to the side of the image

which I cut out 4, and cut them so they looked like a panel die.

These 2 items I bought from

  You will find the link on my side bar if your interested, and it will help a fellow blog friend who is trying to sell lovely items at very reasonable prices, and No Postage costs if your spend £20.
As I cut out the starry nights die with Snippets of white card, and backed my image on white Snippets of card I will be joining my playground friends with this.
Just thought as my Starry Nught Die is a Nbus item I will be joining Darnell again with her wonderful NBUS challenge.
