Hi and welcome to my blog, all my craft loving
friends ,and visitors.
A big welcome to my newest follower, and thank
you for choosing to follow me.
I do hope you pop back often to see what I am
posting.
I was overwhelmed by you wonderful comments
on my last 2 creations.
It was well worth all the hard work creating that
word book.
I forgot to say I didn't use a book template that
you are able to buy, I made mine with some
large Alphabet templates I own, and I did all
the measurements for this my self, and cut out
the letters by hand, as someone had asked about
it.
I made 7 of these such books in different colours
about 4 years ago for my children for Christmas,
but in my excitement I forgot to photograph them.
Now today I have a card I have made for the 2nd
butterfly challenge for this fortnight which you
will find HERE .
In this fortnights challenge you have to use 3 bs
Butterfly, Button, and a Bow, so here is my attempt.

Thank you for your visit and time.
I do hope you are all keeping well.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I decided to make this word book which you
may remember were very popular about 4 or 5
years ago.
Now the inside.
The papers for these were printed onto card, and
from a Debbie Moore CD called The Crackerbox
Mice.
I do love the image of that mouse with the full
tum after eating all that figgy pud. lol.
Now I think we can all relate to this at sometime
over the festive season. lol.

Hi and welcome to my blog, all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Well here we are again it's the weekend, I do
hope you are all enjoying the Sunshine where
ever you may live.
It is wonderful in my part of Kent, lots of spring
flowers poking their heads out of my pots.
So maybe spring is on it's way, but don't hold
your breath all could change as it snowed in
late March last year.
Oh no I have said the S word. lol.
Thank you for all your really great comments
on my box.
Today I have a shabby chic card, now I don't
very often make one of these, but I was watching
C and C last week, as me and hubby do every
morning while drinking our first cup of tea, and
we saw Nancy demonstrating this lovely CD.
So I was tempted into buying it, and here is
the result.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The papers and the image are from the My Craft
Studio Shabby CDs.
I distressed the edges with scissors as Nancy did,
as I haven't a distress tool.
I decoupaged the image and the flowers, then I
added some peach leaves, and some die cut bitty
blossoms made with a contrast printed card.
I then added some string pearls from my stash,
and lastly a stick pin I made last year.
I do hope you like my effort.
Thank you again for sparing your precious
time to visit me.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome yet again to my blog, all my
talented craft friends, and visitors.
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my
last card.
I really do love hearing what you think of my
creations.
Well today I thought I would make my 3rd entry
for the Snippets Playground Challenge.
So here is the box I made with lots out of my
snippets box, including the lace.

Now another view of the box.
When I make my 8"x8" boxes out of A3 box
board I have a 6" piece left over from the top,
and bottom so I cut this down to 6"x6" square
to make this box.
I made the flower on top the other day, so this
box took me just over an hour to make.
I used my Tonic Diamond Swing punch to
edge the box, with some card from my snippets box, and added some pearly bits from my stash.
I die Cit 4 Spellbinders Parisian Corners and
added more pearls, and wallah you have a
lovely box.
Hope you like it.
Thank you again for sparing your precious
time to visit my bog.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Well I started going back to my singing practice

Christmas.
I had a very lovely welcome back, and we are

Hi and welcome to my blog all my talented craft
friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing for a few days, but I
have been looking after my little great granddaughter, Ellie.
Thank you for all your kind comments on my
attempt at the flowers.
I will be making a few more shortly, but I just
had to make this card for a new challenge, and
it's all to do with Butterflies, and you know how
I love butterflies and owls.
So here is what I have created for the challenge.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
This is an 8"x8" size card.
The butterfly paper is from a Crafters Companion
CD called Cute Companions Volume 1.
I used a Tonic Die Diamond Swing Ovals for
the inside and the front of the card.
The corner little butterflies are cut from a
Tattered Lace Die called Chantilly Petal.
The flowers I made from my Heartfelt Creations
Majestic Blossoms Die.
The Ivy is a Creative Expressions Stamp, and I
coloured it with water colour pencils and cut it out.
The large butterfly is a Spellbinders Fanciful
Flight Die, now this die doesn't come with a
solid back so I cut around the die to make this.
Thank you again for sparing your precious time
visiting me.
I do hope this dreadful weather hasn't affected
any of you.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

sent me, and some were made with lovely little

I have put a link to one HERE then when it ends

with all this rain. lol.
Still I do hope you are all keeping nice and warm, and also dry.
My heart does go out to anybody suffering from
these dreadful floods.
If it has never happened to us, I don't suppose
we can quite understand their anguish, but I do have plenty of sympathy for their dreadful plight.
Thank you for all your comments on my last card.

visit and comment is a big bonus for me.
Today I have a box that was made to go with a
