PIXIES SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND.......GD CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

I quite enjoy joining my friends at the

PIXIES SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND 

This is a challenge run by the lovely Di and her helper Parsnip.

The aim is to use up your mounting snippets of paper, and card amounted by creating your creations.

So when Di asked for people who would like to be a GD I put my name to the list of lovely playground friends who were interested.

So this week she kindly asked me if I would like to be her GD.

Of course I said yes, so thank you so much Di for inviting me to be your GD this time around, and thank you for all your hard work involved in this super challenge.

So here is the card I made out of my Snippets for my GD.

This card is a 5"x4" in size.

I started by cutting the shape of the card out of a 6"x6" card blank with my Couture Enchanted Escapes Die.

I used the next to largest die for the shape as there are 4 sizes to choose from.

Then I cut an aperture from my snippets with the smaller die.

I glued some more snippets left over from another project to the inside of the aperture. 

Mounted the whole shape on foam pads for depth.

Cut out some small foliage that came with the die from more snippets, and added some gems, and butterflies given to me by Wendy a good blog friend, and I'm sure she makes these out of snippets too.

Finally I stamped my sentiment with London Fog Ink, and inked around the edges with Milled Lavender Ink.

Thank you so much for your visit, and your precious time.

I very much appreciate your visit, and comments.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

SHABBY CHIC BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

How are you coping with the hot weather ?

I am not very good with hot weather it saps all my energy, and I don't sleep too well either even though we have a fan in the bedroom, and live in a bungalow.

Today I have a shabby chic design card I made for my Daughter's Birthday recently.

  

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I coloured my white base card pink with Colour Cloud Rose Blush Ink.

I then coloured the edges of my paper

with Colour Cloud Fresh Grass Ink, and distressed the edges with scissors.

I coloured my ribbon with the same inks, and the edges of the die cuts.

I made the little flowers with some of the paper.

Added a lacy butterfly, and then splatted watered down gesso all over it.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

I very much appreciate every visit, and comment made.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE No 50..........B IS FOR BUTTONS AND OR BRONZE

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing again, but I had family decide to visit at the last minute from up north.
They were not due to visit till next week, but decided to bring there visit for ward a week.
So as you can all understand there was no time for blogging or crafting.

So last night after they went home I decided to make my entry into the 
Butterfly Challenge which you will find HERE

The shape of this card is from a Couture Enchanted Escape Die.
I just drew round the outside edge to give me my card base.
I covered cream card stock with some Bronze Tattered Lace paper for some of the layers.
My buttons I covered with glue and Creative Expressions Bronze Glitter.
I coloured my pearls with a Promarker.

Thank you so much for your visit, time, and the wonderful comments you make.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RUDOLF CHALLENGE JANUARY 2016

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
I do hope you are all keeping well, and you had a great weekend.
Hopefully the weather was kind to you all.

Well today is the start of the Rudolf Challenge 2016.
It runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month  HERE.
The lovely Scrappymo is in charge, and does a wonderful job too.
So here is my first entry for this year.

I don't know what you call this shape card, but I saw a similar one being demonstrated on C&C  so I put my own twist on it.
The paper and the image were a freebie from a craft magazine a year or so ago.

Thank you so much for you visit.
I am off to the hospital with my DH today for his check up after his op.
He has quite a few scheduled  appointments over the coming weeks.

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
Today is the start of a New Challenge over at the
MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES
It's the  B Teams turn and Susan who is the host
for this challenge would like to see your entries
with a Fairy on them.
It would be wonderful if you could join us for
this challenge, and take a look at the wonderful
cards created by my team mates.
So here is my DT card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used a older Hunkydory Card Stock with the
Fairy Image which I decoupaged.
I cut a diagonal piece across the card with the
Tonic Clematis Climber Die, and made a channel
by using 2 lots of foam pads.
I made the flowers with the smallest of the Tim
Holtz Tattered Floral Die.
I coloured my button with a Promarker to go with
my colour scheme, and added some glitter, and a 
pink gem.
I cut down a Sue Wilson Die to go round my 
sentiment.

Thank you for your visit and time.
I really do appreciate every ones comments, 
and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY CHALLNGE 38 Y IS YARN

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
I am still having a few probs with my internet,
 and it's driving me mad when I try and comment.
This seems to be an intermittent fault so lets hope
it gets sorted soon.
Anyway I do hope you are all enjoying your 
weekend, and the weather is being kind to you.

Today I have a card I made especially for the 
Butterfly Challenge.
The letter involved with this challenge is Y for
Yarn so here is my entry.

  

This is a 6"x6" easel card.
The shaped card was one I bought many moons
ago from Kanban.
I glued 2 together to make it sturdy for an easel.
I then covered it with paper.
I used a snippet of card, and silver yarn to 
create the design, so I'm off to the snippets playground to join my playground pals  as well.
Butterflies were bought for me by my sister.

Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful
comments you make.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I didn't get to mind my Grand Children yesterday
as I was not well when I got up.

when Mum, and Dad are working.
As the day moved on I felt much better thank 
goodness.

Today is the start of the Rudolf Challenge over

of the month, and it's a great way to get some of
your Christmas Cards done early.

I used a black A3 card to make my card. and
layered it with Creative Expressions Vintage 
Gold card.
My rose is one I made a few years ago out of
a old damaged book.
The holly die is a Sheena Douglass one which 
I cut out in black, and gold.

SNIPPETS CHALLENGE CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
May I welcome my newest followers, and thank 
you so much for choosing to follow me, and I do hope to see you as often as you can manage it.

Thank you soooooo! much for patience with my
commenting.
I shall try, and get round to most of it tonight, and
tomorrow night as I have to look after my 2
Grand Children tomorrow.
No baking though as Mum says they will all be
getting fat if we keep making such delicious cakes.

Yesterday was very busy, as the fete was from 
12pm to 4pm, and then afterwards my daughter
had invited us to a barbecue at her house.
So I was exhausted when we arrived home. 

Now on Tuesday it's the Rudolf Challenge again
and this snippets card came from the waste of
what I made for that challenge.
So I am so pleased I can join in the antics at the
playground this week with it.

This is a A5 size card.
Cream base card.
Black, and Creative Expressions Vintage Gold
card stock.
I used the Sue Wilson Embossing Folder 
Swirling Holly.
The inside sentiment is a stamped one heat 
embossed with old gold embossing powder. 

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

I would like to join in the following challenges

WEDDING CARD BOX AND BAG

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
I am sorry I have been missing for a week, but I
had family come to stay from up north.
I was hoping to get in a post before my family
arrived so I could let you know, but time just 
flew by as usual, and I just couldn't manage it.
We had a lovely week, and it was so good to see
them.
 The only problem was we had rain for 3 days
of that week, and a dreadful storm the one day 
with thunder and lighting, and lots of heavy rain.

I was asked by my daughter to make my usual
wedding set for a wedding she was going to.
So here it is the bridesmaids were wearing Teal
hence the Teal as I do like to incorporate it into
my creation.

This is a 8"x8" size card, box, and bag to fit.
I used aTeresa Collins embossing folder on
Centura White Pearl card.
The Teal card is from Creative Expressions.
I made the Roses, and Leaves.
I used The Enchanted Escapes Couture Dies
for the sentiments.
The wedding couple are Tattered Lace, and the
Mr and Mrs is a Tonic Die

Thank you for your visit, and comments.
I very much appreciate everyone you make.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
