WILL BE AWAY FROM MY BLOG FOR A WHILE
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
I do hope you are all keeping well.
I am going to be away from my blog for a few weeks as my eldest sister is terminally ill, and I want to go to Wales to spend a few weeks with her.
So this will be my last post for a while.
I have been busy sorting all my Christmas buying before I go, and I had a few cards to make for family requests.
This is a Christmas card I made a few weeks ago.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used a Crafters Companion embossing folder, and sanded it down slightly.
Cut out the Merry Christmas, and the corners on my ScanNcut.
Thank you so much for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
The papers and the image are from a Debbie Moore CD.

RUDOLF CHALLENGE NOVEMBER 2015
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
I would like to welcome my newest follower, and thank you for choosing to follow me.
I do hope you can visit as often your time allows.
Thank you also to everyone that continues to visit me on a regular basis you are so very kind, as I do know time is precious to all of us especially at this time of year.
Well it's time for the Rudolf Challenge over at Scrappymo's blog, and this is the last one of this year.
This challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month.
So I have 2 cards to show this time.
I wanted to dabble in some sort of mixed media.
Not sure if it was successful though, perhaps you can enlighten me as this is a bit out of my comfort zone.
These are both 8"x8" size cards.
This images are from the Crafters Companion Nordic Christmas CD.
The paper on the blue one is from the Pink Gem website.
The paper on the red one is from the Nordic CD.
I stippled some watered down Gesso on these so it looks like snow.
The red card I painted Gesso over glitter and glue to get the edge.
I do hope you like my dabble with mixed media of sorts.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
I am a bit late with my Oldie for Friday this week, as I have had quite a few things to do today, but I still wanted to support Erika HERE
with an Older Christmas Card I made a few years ago.
This is just for fun, but a super way to bring back some of your older posts, and it doesn't have to be a card, it can be anything you have posted on you blog before.
Just comment on Erika's oldie, and she will return the comment.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I just love white on white cards, and was so pleased with how this turned out, and it got a very good response from all my blog friends too.
Thank you so much for sparing your precious time to visit me, and make such great comments.
I am continually blown away by how kind they are.

Thank you so much for your visit, time, and all the wonderful comments you make.
I very much appreciate every one that is made.
I have made another Tissue Box this

The border round the top, and the corners I cut out on my ScanNcut.
The tulip paper is from the Cupcake

TISSUE BOX
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
I would like to welcome my 2 newest followers, and thank you for joining me on my crafty journey.
I do hope to see you here as often as your time allows.
Thank you also to all my loyal friends that regularly visit, and make such wonderful comments.
I very much appreciate them all.
Today I have a Tissue Box I made for the Allsorts Challenge as their challenge this week is anything but a card.
Now I haven't made one of these before so I am quite proud of myself as I have wanted to make one for ages, and chickened out a few times.
I have used some papers and card from my stash for this.
I made the roses on the front the way
Pamellia makes hers.
The leaves were made from a tip of John Lockwood's I heard about but
actually didn't see the demo.
Dies used below.
I do hope you all have a wonderful day what ever you are doing.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE No 42 Z IS FOR ZIG ZAG
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
This evening I have a card I made for the Butterfly Challenge, and the letter is Z for Zig Zag.
So here is what I came up with instead of putting Zig Zags on the card I spotted this Zig Zag die in my drawer.
Well it's not called a Zig Zag die it's a Spellbinders Square Swatches Die,
but the edges were Zig Zagged so I used it with some snippets to make this card.
This is just under 4"x4" in size.
I embossed the brown snippets of pearlised card, and twisted the shape to give it a different look.
The small butterflies were the C&C
club gift last month, and they are
Tattered Lace.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments you make.
I so very much appreciate them all.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
I really do appreciate that you take time out of your busy day to visit me, and make such great comments on my work.
Today I have a card I made for a neighbour who live in the sheltered flats close to me.
She is 100 years of age on the 2nd of December 2015.
So this is what I came up with for everyone that lives there to sign for her.
This is a 8"x8" size card and Box I made to fit it.
I made the roses from Pamellia's Tutorial HERE.
I used the Sue Wilson Weaving Die Classic for the center of the Spellbinders Grand Circle Die.
I added some pearls on a string from Cuddly Buddly Crafts to the edges of the circle.
Inside I made pockets with stamped edged paper for everybody to sign.
I cut out the bow edging around the box on my ScanNcut.
Thank you again for your visit, and time.

CHRISTMAS CARD
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
I do hope you have had a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my Remembrance Day card.
I have been making Christmas cards
recently and thought this one fits the bill for the Allsorts Challenge this week.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
The paper is from a paper pad bought from Hobbycraft last year.
Quite a simple design this one just
photo glued the paper to the card, and added some ribbon, sparkly trees, and a sentiment.
Thank you again for your visit, and time.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY CARD
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
As today is Remembrance Sunday I always post a card to commemorate our brave Men and Women who fought and lost their lives so that we may try and live in peace.
So this is the card I made this year.
I thought I would go with a Poppy Wreath this year.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I made the poppies with a freebie stamp, and die of Sheena's that came with the Crafters Companion magazine.
I stamped them with Fired Brick DI, and then coloured them in with the same ink and a water brush.
I cut out the leaves on my ScanNcut,
with some snippets card, and then inked them with Pine Needles DI.
So I will be popping over to the playground with this.
The poppy paper is from the Creative Crafting World CD A walk in the Countryside.
Thank you again for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

PINK GEM GUEST DESIGN......................CHRISTMAS CRITTERS
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Well today sees my 2nd post as Guest Designer for the
PINK GEM CHALLENGE BLOG
I have really enjoyed joining the Design Team of the Pink Gem Challenge, as if you know me well I do love their wonderful images, and card kits as they are such good value for money, and besides they always are so cute too, as well as excellently designed.
Take a look at the Design Teams wonderful creations for some inspiration if you need it.
So here is what I came up with for
this challenge that wants to see Christmas Critters.
I decided to make another shaped card on my ScanNcut for this.
This is just under an A4 size.
I decoupaged the bow, her snout and mouth, her body, paws,and the candy cane, and then used stickles to glitter them.
I added a sentiment to her paw.
I reversed the image on the ScanNcut,
and made a card out of it.
I glued a couple of shapes together with photo glue to make it sturdy.
I added some Pink Gem papers from their website to the inside with photo glue, and edged it with a Pro-Marker.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
I do hope you have time to join this wonderful challenge, and see what the other Design Team have been up to.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS CARD
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Spent yesterday looking after my little great grandson who is 7 months old.
He is so good, and no trouble at all, and I enjoyed every minute as he is such a content baby, my granddaughter had so much trouble with his sisters when they were little.
They didn't like shopping or the car, and used to cry,and play up while she
was either shopping or in the car going any where.
I must admit I never had those problems with my 3 at all.
So perhaps I was one of the lucky ones.
Today I have another Christmas card
to show you.
This is a A5 size card.
I must admit I don't make many of this size card, as I do love square cards which you may have noticed.
Papers and the image are from the Crafters Companion CD Nordic Christmas.
I embossed the backing paper with
the similar embossing folder, and inked the edges.
Thank you for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I do hope you can visit as often as your time allows.
Was looking after my granddaughter yesterday as her school doesn't go back till today.
We did lots of crafty bits at my house.
Well I am just about making the
Butterfly Challenge as it's about to close in 11 hours phew.
I struggled to think of something unusual for this time around and
suddenly last night thought of this design.
I cut the shape of this card with my
ScanNcut.
Added some Butterfly card printed off the Crafters Companion CD Cute Companions to make it a little more sturdy.
I decoupaged some of the butterflies, and added some stickles to them.
I coloured my lace with a Pro-Marker
as it was the wrong colour pink.
I used some snippets of white and pink card for my my sentiment and the die cut.
So I'm off to join in the Snippets
Playground with this.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

GD CARD FOR PINK GEM CHALLENGE............. TOO CUTE TO SPOOK
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Today is my first of 2 Guest Design Team cards for the
PINK GEM CHALLENGE
I was so pleased when I entered
their challenge, and saw they were
looking for GD people so I applied, and got chosen Whoo Hoo.
So thank you to them for choosing me.
The challenge starts today and runs for a fortnight.
So check out all the wonderful
creations made by the Pink Gem Design Team, and please try,and enter as I would love to see some familiar faces there.
Here is my first card for their theme.
This is a 8"x 8" size card.
The papers and the image are a download from
the Pink Gem Website, and what a bargain
they are.
The digi image you get, can either be coloured in
or I have used one that's already coloured in.
The sentiments, and the cats head was a
download from the Pink Gem Website last year, and I thought they went rather well with the
theme.
The doilies are a Martha Stewart Round Doily Punch, and I thought they looked like a spiders
web.
Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
I really do appreciate them all.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you for your visit, and time.
I have been having quite a few probs with my new computer, as it's a Mac.
On my old iMac I used to run virtual box to use my crafting CDs, as most are made for windows programs.
Well hubby decided to give me his old computer to run my windows CDs, so I was running them by switching from
one system to another which confused the Mac, and gave me problems, and transferring all my stuff was a real nightmare, and hubby is quite good with computers, but even he was loosing the will to live after all the problems we had.
So I am just using his Sony computer which uses windows.
Now I used to use this computer with
windows xp, so now I have a learning curve with windows 7.
I know that's an old version too, but my computer is old , and only a 32 bit machine not 62 like the newer ones.
There lies another problem as a 62 bit computer won't run my older crafting CDs.
Well that's enough of my probs hopefully for now.
So as it's Friday already it's time to join ERIKA HERE with a Oldie for Friday.
Just post something you have posted before on you blog, and leave a comment on Erika's post, and she will visit you in return.
So here is my Oldie for this week.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
I used Spellbinders Die cut that a
blog friend sent me in the center of
a Spellbinders Label 1 Die.
Thank you so much again for you
patience with my return comments,
as I am on a big learning curve, and
at my age it wears you out. LOL.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

SNIPPETS CHRISTMAS CARD
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
My DH has treated me to a new
Mac Mini so I am still trying to get used to the difference, of a new machine.
Lots has changed with it, and I really didn't want to change, but I was getting probs with the old
iMac.
I don't know about you, but I hate learning new techy stuff.
Well onto my card I have to show
you.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The die cuts are a Tonic one.
I used a Creative Expressions Doublesided
sticky Sheet on thebackground, and added some
Creative Expressions CosmicShimmer Glacier
Ice Glitter to it.
I used some snippets to cut out some of my die
cuts,and the sentiments are snippets left over
from and old Kanban set.
So I'm off to the playground to join in the antics
there with Miss Di and Parsnip monitoring us so
we don't get too boisterous.
Thank you again for your visit,
and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I WOULD LIKE TO ENTER THIS INTO THE
FOLLOWING CHALLENGES.

WEDDING CARD AND BOX
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
I do hope you are all having a good weekend.
Today I have a wedding card, and box to show
which I made for a lady who contacted me
through an email.
The bridesmaids are wearing royal blue, and as
I like to incorporate that in the card I was a bit stumped, and then I remembered I had this paper
with a bit of bronze, and royal blue on.
So here is the card, and box which went to
Northern Ireland.
This is a 8"x8" size card, and box I made to fit.
The paper is from Tattered Lace.
Flowers my sister bought me sometime ago.
Glitter hearts from ebay.
Sue Wilson Embossing folder Hearts Lattice.
Pearls from Cuddly Buddly Crafts.
Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
I have been busy making a couple of order cards
one was a Wedding card and box as lady emailed
me and asked me to make her one for her
daughter.
So I said if she put money into her fave charity I
would do this so she paid £20 to the Macmillan
Nurses charity, and emailed me the receipt.
Then I am in the middle of making a 100th
Birthday card, and box for a lady who lives in
the sheltered flats next to me so everyone can
sign it.
Right as it's Friday and time to join
ERIKA HERE
with your Oldie for Friday it can be anything
you have posted sometime on your blog before,
and it doesn't have to be a card.
It's all just for fun, but a delightful way of
showing some of your older projects.
So as Halloween is nearly here I have a card I
made for Halloween 2013.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The Halloween Calendar is from the Pink Gem
website, and is a digi image.
The spiders web doily is a Martha Stewart
circle punch, and I used some confetti around
the edge of the card.
The glitter black cats were from Waitrose.
