cake this morning so just to make Sue P and
Sue Js mouths water we baked a lovely gooy
chocolate cake with chocolate frosting all
over it. While my grandson had goalie training.
Tonight I have another of my Baby Book Cards
and box.
This is what I have been working on in between
looking after my grandchildren.

I painted the sky and hills with Wisper Pens,

have the die to do this too.
Made the paper inside from the Decoupage 2
CD.

Hi and good afternoon dear blog friends and
visitors.
May I say a big welcome to my newest follower,
and thank you sooooo much for choosing to
follow my blog.
THANK You for all your comments on my last
card.
I really do appreciate every one you make.
Our singing at the nursing home was cancelled
this afternoon, due to the person who booked us
going on holiday and not telling anyone else we
were booked so they had already arranged an
outing for their residents.
This suited me fine as I have had a very busy
week, and the heat makes me extremely tired.
I don't sleep well at the best of times and this
heat makes it worse.
Still I mustn't grumble as I know most of you
are enjoying this beautiful weather.
Today I have a card I made for Ellie my
littlest great granddaughter, it's her Birthday
on Monday and she will be 2 years old.
So when I saw this Besties image I knew I
had to have it for her.
I hope you like it too.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
This is and 8x8 size card.
I have used the Dessert Bloom Papers on this.
So sad I'm nearly out of this paper pad, because
I have really loved the papers that were in it.
The image is a Sherri Baldy Besties Image,
coloured in with Promarkers.
I added some pink daisies on a roll that were
in my stash from what I had of my mothers.
Some AB pearls on top.
The sentiment was computer generated.
I coloured my sentiment and the inside verse
with chalk as I haven't got and orange distress
ink.
Thank you again for your visit.
Will be round your blogs shortly to comment.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following

Hi and good evening dear and talented blog
friends and visitors to my blog.
THANK YOU for all your super comments on my last card.
I am glad you all liked it so much, it means a
great deal to me having you visit me, and I love
reading your wonderful comments.
I tried to comment today while looking after
Ellie with my i pad but I seemed to get in a knot
with the comments, must practice more with it.
I'm not sure if I will be able to comment
tomorrow as I have Ellie to look after again,
and tonight I have to make Ellie's Birthday
card, and I am way behind with a few others,
I have to make also.
Friday is also not a good day as I am looking
after my other grandchildren in the morning,
and out singing at a nursing home in the
afternoon. So hope fully I will be back in
comment mode again by Saturday.
Tonight I have a quick card I made for my
Aunt who lives in Australia. She will be
92 in August.
This is a twisted easel and my first attempt
at this type of card.

Now the side view.
This is a 5x5 size card tried to keep it small
and flat because of the postage costs.
The papers used were in a book I bought a
few months ago at the supermarket, and also
the sentiment and flower were in there too.
Just added some metal butterflies and
dragonfly from my stash.
The corners were from my Di-namics
Corner Dies, and a teardrop circle in the
center as the stopper.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and good morning to all you talented crafty
blog friends and visitors.
Thank you sooooooo much for all your
wonderful comments on my last piece of work.
May I say big welcome to my newest follower
and thank you soooooooooo much for choosing
to follow me.
Well did you all have thunder storms last night ?
We did in Kent and boy I have never seen such lightening before. The rain that followed made
a mess of a lot of the plants in the garden, but
at least it filled the water butt up.
Today I have the other grandson card I
promised a few days ago.
This grandson attends university, and is
studying to be a musical technician. Or I think
that's what they call it when you get the
sounding right in musicals and concerts.

Now the inside.
This is another of my shaped cards I bought
at the NEC sadly the last one left of these.
I decorated it with some music paper made
from a picture in my i photo album.
The one end of the fish tail tag I rolled up,
this was and idea from RMG Creations blog.
Thank you Rita.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a really super day.
Not sure if I will be around tomorrow as I
have Ellie to look after, but I will try.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and good afternoon dear blog friends and
visitors.
Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but as it was a
cooler day in Kent, so I did a major clean up
and tidy in my craft room.
I also had to take a faulty Hougie Project Book
back to my local craft shop, because it was faulty.
There were 3 pages missing, and 3 pages
repeated in it.
While I was there they still had a 50% off
everything sale, except for CD, so you can't
pass up an offer like that can you. lol.
Thank you for all your comments on my last
card.
I very much appreciate you comments and time
spent visiting my blog.
Today I haven't the other grandson card as
promised, but a card I have made for the
Pink Gems Challenge.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the side view.
I cut the shape card out of a new die I bought
yesterday.
Sorry don't know the name or make of it as it
had no name or make on the wrapping.
I cut out the shape by extending the die over
the edge of the cutting board.
Cautionary tale if using a E-Bosser don't use
it for this type of project as it bends the die.
Luckily it went back okay, so next time I will
use the Grand Calibur, because I know it is
okay for this type of cutting.
I inked my white card all over with Dusty
Concord Distress Ink to make it purple.
I embossed some pearly metallic card and
cut out the shapes a little smaller, for the base
and top of the easel.
I used a Pink Gem image colored in with
Promarkers.
The button in the middle of the bow I
coloured and glittered to match the card.
Everything else from my stash.
Thank you again for you visit to my humble
blog.
I hope everyone has a super crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I decided this morning to make a card for the

to look at this as it's very bright. lol.
So here is my attempt.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
This is a 8x8 size card.
I have not put a sentiment, or verse inside as it
was not made for anyone in particular.
I used my embossing folder that came with my
E bosser again, but I have used the other side of
the embossing this time.
The circles are SB Grand Decorative Circles Die.
The corners are Marriane Creatables Corner Die.
The papers used for the flowers, are Dovecraft,
and I used a orange chalk to change their colour.
These were made from the Di-namics Plentyful
Petals Die.
Buttons from my stash for the centers, some
lovely orange ribbon I won on a blog hop, and
some beads I bought on a rope for the corners,
and between the ribbon on the circle.
Thank you again for your visit.

It looks like some of you may be making a few
of these, as they are very handy to give to a

It is for a grandson I don't see very often, and am
not sure what he likes or dislikes.

This afternoon I have a Book Mark that I made

followed my friends blog will perhaps recognize
it.

I cut out 2 SB Square Swatches out of silver
card and embossed them with the Enchanted
M- Bossabilities embossing folder.
Then I glued them together round half of the
edges.
I then decorated the top with the middle cut
outs of the SB Ornate Cross Die.
This I did by interlacing the pieces together, and glued some of cross edges between. I also made the ornate piece under the button from the cross pieces too.
I added some pearls and an organza flower
from my stash, and wallah you have a very
pretty bookmark to give a friend or keep yourself.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have managed to do some crafting
in this hot spell. I am very lucky as I have a
overhead fan on my ceiling in the craft room.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
