Now the inside.
This is an 8x8 size card.
I have not put a sentiment on it as it is not
for anyone, so I will add it if and when I
need to use it.
The paper is Heartfelt Creations Burst of
Splendor again, I do love this pad.
The digi image is a Pink Gem one , coloured
in with Promarkers, and I decoupaged the
flowers at the bottom and added some leaves.
I have rounded the corners and put a
Promarker round the edges of the cards and
paper.
I die cut the Spellbinders Parisian Accents
corners and the other die in the set round
the edges of the card both inside and out.
Well that's my creation today.
Thank you again for your visit.
I do hope you like it.
I hope you all have a very crafty day.

Hi and welcome to my blog my craft loving
friends and visitors.
Thank you for all the comments on the
butterflies.
Here is the pattern for those of you that wanted
it. I'm no pattern expert so I do hope you can understand my ramblings as the great Sue P
would say.
With double knitting wool and a crochet hook
make 15 chain sts.
Join the chain together.
1st Row.
Make 3 triple crochet sts and 4 chain sts between
each of the 3 triple crochet sts. Continue like
this till you have 8 sets of these in the circle.
2nd Row.
Make 3 triple crochet sts into where you have
the chan, then 4 chain sts, and 3 more triple
crochet sts all in the same hole.
Carry on like this till you have gone right
round.
3rd Row.
Into the chain if the last row, make 8 triple
crochet sts then do one double crochet st
between the chains. this gives you the
scolloped edge.
Now when you look at your finished circle
it looks like a lovely doily or flower.
Fold in half so you have 2 scollops either
side. put you pipe cleaner round and twist
for the antenna. I added a couple of beads
for the end.
I do hope you can follow my poor tutorial
of this.
These are the butterflies.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you have a really great crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.
Thank you for all your comments on my last
creation. I am so glad you liked it.
I very much appreciate everyone of your
opinions.
Today I have something slightly different.
I have been making these Crochet Butterfly
Magnets.
My friend in our singing group let me have
one to copy. So I thought I would share them
with you.

| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
If any of you are interested in making these,
Just let me know and I will try and write out
the pattern for you and post it on a seperate
post.
They are very easy to make and very
addictive too. lol.
I bought the magnets to go on the back from
E Bay quite cheaply and glued them on with
Pinflair Glue Gel.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you are all keeping well, and those of
you that are under the weather, big crafty hugs
coming you way to make you feel a lot better.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi to all my craft loving friends and visitor to
my blog.
I do hope you have all had a fabulous weekend.
As I have traveled through most of your blogs
today I see most of you have had some rain.
Well I'm still waiting for the rain here, my poor old water butt is dying of thirst. lol.
I really don't know why but we don't seem to
get as much rain as the rest of you.
I know this seems like I'm moaning but my
grass is dying, and as I'm on a water meter it
costs me money to use the hose, and I would
rather spend that money on crafting goodies. lol.
My card today is another one I have made from
The Heartfelt Creations Burst of Splendor Paper.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
This an 8x8 size card.
I distressed the edge of my white card with
Spun Sugar Distress Ink, I also distressed the
pink card with Peeled Paint Distress Ink on
two sides of the card and Spun Sugar again to
the other two sides trying to copy the
distressing on the paper.
I'm not sure whether I like this or not, I think
it makes the pink card look dirty.
What do you think ?
My design of the pyramid of die cuts were an
idea of the lovely Linda Burrows from
Creative Harmony blog a while back.
Thank you for the inspiration Linda and I hope
to see you back blogging again soon as I miss
your lovely creations.
The pyramid is done with your Spellbinders
Parisian Accents Die, cutting the border bar
off the 2nd,3rd and so on layers, and gluing
together.
I added some lace and seam binding I had
coloured with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.
A few AB pearls and some decoupaged
flowers cut out of the paper.
Thank you for your visit, and comments, they
mean so much to me.
Sorry the explanation of the card was so long winded.
I hope you all have great crafty insperations,
always for all your personal creations.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to my blog dear friends and
visitors.
Sorry I have been AWOL for a day or so, but
I have had family staying with us for a few
days, and also I had an appointment for my
eye problem in Canterbury on Wednesday.
I have been referred back to William Harvey
Hospital in Ashford for a discussion on having
eye surgery, which I'm not at all happy about.
But hey if they can cure my problem with it
then I suppose I should give it a try.
I have not mentioned that my eyes have been
getting steadily worse over the last 3 months.
I now have to sit right in front of the TV, or
peoples faces are distorted, to the right of their
face, and as I had to have a new prescription for
reading glasses within six months of the last one,
it was suggested that I need to been seen by an
eye surgeon.
On a happier note it doesn't seem to affect my
crafting yet, but when I visit your blogs I have
to enlarge the print so I can read it.
Today I have a 3rd Mr Fix it card I made for
my stepdaughter's husband.
He is a builder by trade so was very pleased
with it.

Now the inside.
This is an 8x8 size card.
The image is a Mo Manning one coloured in
with Promarkers.
The papers used were from The Forever Friends
The Good Life Pack.
The embellishments were again buttons bought
from the NEC in March.
I added a washer and screw nut, this idea came
from the lovely Sue Bearhouse's blog a while
back. Thank you Sue for all your inspiration.
Thank you again for your visit, and comments, I do hope I haven't bored you with my eye problem.
I do hope you all have a fabulous weekend.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and good afternoon to all you talented craft
loving friends and visitors to my blog.
I do hope you are having a pleasant Sunday.
Thank you for all your comments on my last
card.
I really do appreciate your time and comments.
For a while I have been wanting the Burst of
Splendor paper pad from Heartfelt Creations.
So luckily my hubby said the other day I could
buy it, and this is what I have made with it.
The picture in the frame is of my mother when
she was young.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
My mother was always decoupaging flowers
from old Birthday cards onto photos before
putting them in a frame.
So as I was using a photo of my mother I
thought I would follow her example.
My card is an 8x8 size.
As I didn't have quite the colour card I needed
for this I distressed my card with Peeled Paint
Distress Ink, I also did this to matt and layering
card only this time I used Wild Honey Distress
Ink.
I'm not sure I think I should have used Antique
Linen instead. What do you think ?
I decoupaged the corner of the paper pad, and
cut out the smaller flowers from elsewhere in
the paper to go round my mother's photo.
Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and good afternoon to all you talented crafty
blog friends and visitors to my blog.
THANK YOU for all your comments on my
last creation. It was a quickie card, so sorry if
today's post is a bit similar, as I didn't have
the time to think up a new design, for either
one as they were last minute makes.
Today's card and box I made for my Son and
his wife for a wedding they are attending
tomorrow.
The colours I used were very similar to their
wedding invitation, so I based my card on
this.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
Now the box.
This is an 8x8 size card.
I made the box out of A3 card doubled up
for strength.
I used plain card as their invitation was on
plain card.
Then I used the Spellbinders Decorative
Grand Circles again.
Spellbinders Anemone Die for the flowers.
Leaves were from the Cheryl Lynne Flower
Die. The flourishes were from the Spellbinders
Venetian set, and lastly the corners were the
Marianne Creatables doubled up of a bit of
colour.

Hi and good afternoon or early evening, dear
blog friends and visitors.
Wow is it HOT! HOT! HOT! where you are.
Yesterday was very HOT and I had to go
singing, and the venue was upstairs in this
particular nursing home.
I don't know about you but my brain gets all
muddled in the HOT weather, well that's my
excuse in any rate.
Well you know that my little group of singers
are all retired, and we do this to raise funds for
The Dame Vera Lynn Charity for children with
Cerebral Palsy. Well we had a letter thanking us
and saying that we had raised over four
thousand pounds so far. I am so glad I have
joined them for such a worthy cause.
Thank you for your comments on my Baby
Book Card.
You all are so very kind to visit me and leave
your wonderful comments.
Today I have another Baby Girl Card, both
my book one and this one will be sent to
Wales to my sister for her granddaughter, who
is due her first baby on the 14th August. I just hope it cools a little by the time she goes into
labour.

Now the inside.
This is an 8x8 size card.

name or make on it.
I made the Roses and Fuchsia from the
Britannia Rose Die the largest size, and
changed the colour with Promarkers.
