MY FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD and BLOG CANDY

BLOG CANDY

Hi and good Monday morning to all of you.
May I say a big hello to my new followers, and a big
THANK YOU, To those of you who have given your precious
time to visit my blog over the past week. Your lovely comments
on my work has made me soooooooo happy.
Now to the BLOG CANDY. I have 12 followers now. I know
it says 13, but I put my name on there when you lovely followers
said there was a problem last week, and basically I don't know
how to remove it. I will learn though, I'm sure.
Well I was thinking that when my followers reaches 30 I would
have a draw for the Candy, that is pictured along side.

Now to today's card it's my first Christmas Card of this year. A little different for me but then I like to
try new ideas every now and then. The colours are different too. It will be interesting to hear what you
have to say about it.

Here is the inside of the card.
The card is my usual 8x8 matted with pink and blue card stock. The lace is from you know where by now. The image is from Pink Gems digi images and oh my new watermark is from there too. I coloured
it in with Spectrum Noir pens. A white pen to make the dots on her headdress. Flowers from WOC
and my stash. Flat back pearls from my stash also. The metal corners, and the star pearls I inherited
from my Aunty Pat. I recycled some Spellbinders cut outs left over pieces from the Parisian Dies
round the image, and oh I nearly forgot the sunshine and smiles tag is also a digi image from
Pink Gems site, mounted on a Spellbinders Lacy Cirle die, one on top of the other off set.
I think I might enter this in the pink Gems challenge as the theme is animals or bears.
I hope you like it and thank you again for your precious time.

RAINDROPS NO 2

Hi and good morning to all my friends out there in blog land, and THANK YOU for stopping by and
leaving your comments. I know your time is very precious, so it's lovely that you find the time to
visit me. Your comments mean a great deal to me, and I enjoy reading every one. They make me
sooooooo happy.
My card today is Raindrops No2. This I am entering into the  Fab'n Funky Challenge, which
must feature leaves.

The recipe for this card is a 8x8 size card. Matted and layered with green pearlised card stock and
some green papers from my stash. The image as you will remember is a free digi one off the internet.
It's coloured in with a mixture of Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens.
Then mounted on to a piece of lace and then a paper doily. Flat back gems from ebay. The butterfly
is a memory box die.The satin leaves I inherited from my aunty, and the flower button is also from my stash.
I hope you like it, and thank you again for your visit and comments. Have a wonderful crafty
Thursday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny Lawrence.

Who put out the Fire

Hi
to all my blog friends, and THANK YOU for all your kind words of encouragement over this week.
Well I can hear all of you saying thank goodness it's the weekend. That is those of you that don't have to work.

Today my card is one I made last week.  It's my usual favourite size 8x8 card size. I used A3 black pearlised card stock cut into this size. Matted it with yellow A4 card stock. The stripped glitter card
is a bit left over from my Kanban Card bought from C and C last year. I have used a freebie image
from the internet, coloured in with Spectrum Noir pens. Distress ink in Wild Honey round the edges.
Glitter glue round the image, and Glossy Accents to make it look like water falling from the hose,
ans round his feet. The flowers and butterfly were Dovecraft's blossoms and butterflies. I used
Spellbinders Foliage Dies fir the leaves and the sprays, and some yellow roses from my stash, and

of course some black half back pearls, and stones.
Those of you with a keen eye will notice the difference in the 2nd picture as I took it and then decided
to put a few other bits to the front.
I  hope you like it. Have a wonderful crafty day everyone.

Raindrops keep falling on my Head

Hi to everyone that visits my blog and thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment. I am new to this so excuse me if I make a mistake along the way.
I have named my first post Raindrops keep falling on my head, because the image on the card is about rain.
This card I made for the Wild Orchid Challenge Pinks and Green, but silly me I didn't realise you had to have a blog when I made it a few days ago. Well perhaps I can enter now.
The image was a free on off the Internet. It is coloured in with Spectrum Noir markers and has cherry blossom flowers from the Wild Orchid web site. The lace flowers I inherited form my mother. The pearls came with a type of lazy Susan pen holder bought from create and craft. The design round the image is part of spellbinders label 24. The backing paper is from my stash.

I hope you enjoy my very first post and thank you for dropping by.
