A COUPLE OF SYMPATHY CARDS

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

Hope your weekend is going well, and you have nice weather where ever you may live.

It has been nice and warm here in my part of Kent.

Today I have a couple of sympathy cards I made recently to put in my box for use at sometime.

These are 5"x7" tent style cards I made.

I used a lot of snippets to make these.

The images are from one of the Hunkydory little books.

The embossing is a Crafters Companion 3D embossing folder.

Thank you for your visit, and precious time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

GRANDDAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY CARD

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

I do hope everyone has had a good week, but the weather here in Kent as been hot one min, and quite cold the next.

It was my Granddaughter's 20th Birthday recently, and she is in Southampton Uni so this is the card I made and sent her.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The card stock is Hunkydory.

The image is from one of their first little books.

I found the sentiments in one of my craft drawers when re-vamping my craft room at the beginning of the year which were bought many moons ago.

Corners were cut from the Tattered Lace Circle Trellis Die.

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

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

WENDY'S F/BOOK SKETCH CHALLENGE CARD

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

Also welcome to anyone who just pops by to look at my work.

Here is a card I made for Wendy's sketch challenge on F/Book.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

I had been after the Appl Blossom card kit since seeing it advertised in my stamping magazine.

Hubby was having one of his no spend times so I was having to sit on my hands, and bite my nails as I really wanted this.

A good blog friend suggested buying in the supermarket with my shopping,

so he wouldn't know, but every time I looked there was none to be had.

Till last week I spotted one right at the back of a shelf.

So my card is my version of Wendy's sketch from the Apple Blossom kit.

Stamped the flowers with izink ink, and used a Crafters Companion glitter pen on them, and of course the butterflies are from Wendy our team leader.

The pale card is actually a very light peach card which looks cream in the photo, and is the other side of the orange card.

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

I am always so happy to read your lovely comments.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY 

A CARD MADE FROM WENDY'S SKETCH ON F/BOOK

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

Also a big warm welcome to anyone who just chances on here to view my work.

Now Wendy who is our team leader on the MAWTT Challenge sets a sketch challenge on Facebook every week on her craft page so I really wanted to enter this week and more if I get chance.

Here is what I created out of her sketch which I am quite pleased with.  One of those cards you want to do a happy dance after making.

This is the sketch.

 

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I made the background a while back when using Izink inks and this is what I created with mopped up inks.

Today I spritzed it with a Tattered Angels Mica Spray to give it a sheen.

Then I cut out my apertures, and added some Snippets of coloured card from my snippets box.

The JND flowers and leaves were also made from snippets.

The lovely trellis die cuts in the middle of the ovals came from JND's Sandwich box die, and was cut out of the pieces of the apertures.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BABY BOY CARD

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

Sorry I was not about yesterday, but I was dog sitting for my Son as they were away camping for one night.

Looking after my Grandchildren tomorrow as well as their parents are back to work tomorrow after their hols this is my elder Son's family.

Really proud of my Granddaughter Jess Bonfield as she got so many A/s in her A Levels, and is going to Southampton  University, and was offered a place in Oxford too, but prefers Southampton.
Considering she had a very bad throat infetction while taking these exams she did so well I think.
Here she is with my Son on the right, her Mum on the left, and my Grandson next to her.
This is my youngest Son, and his family.

More of the cards I made to sell at my Daughter's fete this one is a Baby Boy one.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

The papers, and the image are from the Joanna Sheen Baby Love CD.

Computer generated sentiment, and verse.

Baby die cut items cheap Chinese dies.

Doily die also a cheap Chinese die cut.

 Oval stitched dies Gummiapan dies.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

THINKING OF YOU CARD

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

Sorry I have been missing for so long.

Hubbies extension to his  shed is up and running wonderfully now, and family has gone home.

I have also had some child minding to do with my Grandchildren as they are now on their summer hols. 

Will be doing this on Monday and Tuesday next week also.

Then I have a break as Mum and Dad will be off with them separately for a few weeks.

Today I have a card I made a couple of days ago for the Allsorts Challenge, but haven't had time to post it.

This is a 8"x8" size tent style card.
I have used pearls and gems on this card as I do love using them both or individually as they both can just finish a project  perfectly.

The papers are a Cuddly Buddly download.

The lace insert in the circle is Snippets left over from another card I made.

So I will be joining my playground friends with this.

Used Glamour Dust around the edges, and glittered another piece of Snippets in the circle under the lace edges.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

STITCHED FLORAL THANK YOU CARD

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

I do hope you all are having a great weekend.

Well can you believe it I won the Allsorts Challenge again last week that's 2 weeks in a row, and about the 6th or 7th time since I have started to enter it.

I also was chosen as over all winner at the Quirky Crafts Challenge with my card that had the song Come on Eileen on it.

The same card was in the top 3 at the Frilly and Funkie Challenge also. 

I feel very honoured and lucky as I am not so very lucky usually.

So today I have a card I made for the Allsorts Challenge with some of my new dies I bought with my winnings.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

The lovely floral paper was a bargain from B&M at £2-49 for 24 sheets of double sided papers that are 250GSM.

The stitched oval dies are one of my purchases from my winnings.

The mint green leaves were also one of my die  purchases too.

The flowers, and dark green leaves are TL mini dies.

Lastly I stamped thank you with a freebie stamp from a craft mag in Tuxedo Black Ink.

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
