Before I get to my card today I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Lindyloo for showcasing my cards so often on her web site, and also her encouragement to start this blog.
I would also like to thank Pops for her suggestion on starting a blog too.
My card today is a box I made for my Granddaughter's Wedding Book which I made for her mother to give her. I'm not sure how to upload multiple pics on one posting so I will post the card book on a later posting. Perhaps somebody can advise me about multiple pics.
The box is made with Crafters Companion A3 ivory pearlised card. I worked out the size to fit and 8x8 card myself and then marked the markings on my A3 cutting mat. Then I used some lovely pearlised paper form my local craft shop. I cut out the Spellbinders Parisian corners to go all around the box. Then I added some ivory lace I cut into small pieces with ivory pearls on top. I also used some little organza roses that come on a roll and put ivory pearls on the top. The lace and the organza roses came from Wild Orchid Crafts. The ivory pearls from E bay. I used the Spellbinders Parisian round motifs and scolloped circles for the center and distressed with victorian velvet distress ink.
Before I go I would like to quote a saying out of my little Thank You Book
One can never pay
in gratitude; one can
only pay in "kind"
somewhere else in life.

Hi Jenny,
I can't wait to see the wedding book now because the box is beautiful. I added a second picture and it was quite easy. Once you have added the first one, move your cursor down and just repeat the process i.e. click on "Insert Image" and away you go again. Listen to the expert after only a week!!! There may well be a better way that our experienced blog friends would know, but to me that was easy and worked.
Have a good day. Love from Christine xx
Wow! if that`s the box I can`t wait to see the "Book"
Congratulations on starting your Blog, it really is great fun once you get going.
I started my blog a couple of months ago but I really, really struggle I am hopeless on the computer. I just wish I had someone who could come to show me what to do.
Good luck, I will be back

Hi Christine,
you must have been visiting me at the same time I was visiting you. Thanks for the info, I suddenly worked it out for myself last night. Could not get the time shedule to work though, and I've noticed the time is set wrong, and that darn join a site button I tried to get that going too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Patricia,
thank you for your lovely comments, and visiting my blog. I will visit yours. Im not very good with computers either a total mine field. I had so much trouble yesterday and the design is frustrating me. My hubby thinks it's because I'm on a mac machine, so we started using Safari and that helped a little.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Jenny, WOW congratulations on your new Blogsite, have just left comment for Sue and was meandering down the comments and came across your comment saying you had just set up your new Blog so I popped over. I wasn't disappointed..... The box is exquisite, Jenny, can't wait for the book now. I absolutely adore the lace shapes you have, they definitely complement the spellbinders die-cuts, absolutely beautiful. Keep up the good work, and thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us all. Lots of love from Patricia xx

Hi Sarah,
thank you so much for your lovely comment., and welcome to my blog. I,m glad you liked it. Because I had a problem and basically don't know what I'm doing. The book card got put under the box, so if you would like to see the book and get a little tip of how to make a pearly button embellishment for your bows then scroll down a little further if you have time.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Hello sweetie I am here at last.
My apologies for taking so long to get back to blogging, I seem to have so little time to sit on my laptop at the moment. Anyway, this isn't about me.
I loved this when you kindly sent me the picture a while ago. Stunning workmanship and such a beautiful creation that will be treasured always I am certain.
Thank you for your kind reference to me and also my blog. I am just so glad that I was able to help you in some small way as others have in turn helped me. The wonderful Sue Wilson and Dena Concienne were the push behind my blog and so all I have done is 'Paid forward' their kindness.
Keep up the good work. Big hugs and congrats Linda xx
