Hi and welcome to cardsarus blog spot My name is Jenny Lawrence and I live in Kent. My dear and wonderful husband Tony passed away in March 2019 We had been married for 36 years. I also lost my first Husband to the big C when I was quite young. I have 3 children and 3 stepchildren. 12 Grandchildren and 5 Great Granddaughters and 3 Great Grandsons. I have been card making for about 25 years. I have made things all my life as my Mum and Grand Mother taught me lots of hobbies. I have made my own clothes, knitted garments, hand embroidered items of clothing, and crocheted items too. I love to bake my own cakes as well.

SORRY YOU ARE LEAVING CARD AND BOX


Hi, and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

I would like to welcome my latest followers that have pressed the button to join my blog, and thank you for following me.
I'm not sure if you have a blog, so if you have let me know so I can follow you too.

I have had to go back to my old computer as I could not get on with the any of the other photo editing programs.
So it's back with Picassa 3, and I can't understand why Google has done away with it as it was so easy to use, all the others are so complicated compared to that one as I'm not good with measurements.
Also some had very small writing which I couldn't enlarge, and I couldn't read the program with my eye problems.

Back in September my daughter asked me to make a leaving card, and box for a colleague that was leaving.
So here is what I came up with as the person loves shoes, and handbags.




This is a 8"x8" size card, and box I made to match.
They wanted lots of little cards inside to write their individual greetings on, so the cards inside are 4"x4" in size.
The boots, and handbag are a
 CraftsUPrint download.
Decoupaged the the handbag, boots and the flowers.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

That's brilliant Jenny and definitely a keepsake. I love the little bags for individual messages, I bet the recipient was chuffed to bits x

Oh my, this is just adorable. I love the colors and the boots are right in style. Donna will adore this. The pockets for notes from people are the perfect thing for someone to send her well wishes. Love the polka dots too!

Belated New Year Greetings Jenny. Hope you and Tony are both okay. This project is absolutely fabulous and I'm sure it will go down a storm with the recipient! Terrific colour - not that I'm a purple girl ... lol! (I'm sitting here right this minute wearing a prple sweater, purple jeans and purple boots!!!!) It's been a beautiful day so John and I went out for a drive and ended up at Evesham. We went into Crafter's Companion for tea and cake - and it would have been rude not to buy some products in the sale ... lol! Love and Hugs Christine xxx

This is a great card and I'm sure it was well received. I have programmes on my older computer which are not compatible with Windows 10 which is a real pain and I know that sooner or later I'm going to be forced to upgrade but am resisting for as long as I can. Also find printer and scanner aren't going to work with W10 either so more expense involved at some point.

Hi Jenny, I'm loving your card and box, the recipient will have a fantastic memento of all her colleagues.
Isn't technology frustrating, I also had a problem at weekend when my printer refused to 'talk' to my laptop, and wouldn't acknowledge my wifi either, I ended up having to buy a new printer and the 'set up' took me ages and ages, and the menu on the new printer is much more complicated than my old one, and the screen is the size of a large postage stamp, and I too have eye problems, but heyho at least I can print now haha.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
