DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY CARD

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

O my goodness it's still not very warm for June.

I can't believe I am wishing for warmer weather when I hate the really hot weather, but it would be rather nice now after all this cold stuff.

I have a card today I made for my step daughter's Birthday.

She loves fairies so this is what I made for her.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The paper is a down loadable one from Cuddly Buddly.

The fairy I made by adding butterfly wings to the Tattered Lace 3D Daisey Girl.

I used the Tattered Lace Daisey Flexi edge die to go around the aperture.

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

I really appreciate each comment, and visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

CHRISTMAS CARD AND BOX

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

Also a big warm welcome to anyone that just pops in to look at what I have created.

Well we have had snow in my part of Kent it snowed all day on, and off just lightly, but yesterday evening we had about 3 inches.

It is snowing slightly at the moment too.

So you all know where I am going to be today.

While cleaning my teeth this morning one of my fillings dropped out so I now have a great hole in there, typical as I'm not going out in this weather to the dentist.

Luckily it's not aching yet or I'll have to.

I made this card a box before Christmas, and haven't had the time to show it yet.

I was asked to make this with quite short notice for someone for their partner.

This is a 8"x8" size card, and box I made to fit it.

The Robin image in the centre was from an re-cycled Christmas card.

I used my Crafters Companion embossing folder with Christmas words again.

Cut up at Tattered Lace Holly Frame die to fit the aperture.

Sentiment done on the computer, and edged with a red sharpie pen. 

Finally I added a flower arrangement with berries.

I would like to enter this into the Allsorts Challenge, and the things beginning with B are Bird, Branch, Bow, Berries, and finally Box.

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

I very much appreciate every visit, and comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE...................JANUARY 2018

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

My legs have been playing up, and I have not been sleeping too well, and kept falling asleep every time I tried to use my computer perhaps I should try that at night when I can't sleep. LOL. 

Today is the start of the first 
 RUDOLF DAYS CHALLENGE of the year over at 
SCRAPPYMO'S BLOG .
Now this month isn't my turn to post a DT card, but I always post a card to remind you all, and as Maureen says I can enter my card on the months I'm not on the DT so here is my card.

  

This is a 8"x8" size card.
The centre is from a re-cycled card I had the year before last, and didn't want to throw it away.
Just added some Crafters Companion Pearl Sparkly Diamond Spray on it to make it lustre which doesn't show up too well on the blog.
I used my Crafters Companion Embossing folder again.
The blue glitter card is non shed from the pound shop.
Finally I made my flowers, and added some pearly snowflakes.

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

ANNIVERSARY CARD

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

It's very miserable in my part of Kent today all grey, and raining, and cold as well.

Won't be long till the leaves start falling of the trees.

My, summer came, and went in a flash or that's what it seems like or is it because we had a lovely June, and not such a nice July, and August.

Gosh I have managed to make a card for the Butterfly Challenge  as I think I may have missed a couple of the challenges.

 This is a anniversary card I made for my youngest Son and his wife.

  

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The heart paper came from a paper pad I bought at B&M for the grand price of £2.49.

The white card I embossed with the Sue Wilson's Heart Lattice embossing folder.

Added some ribbon and string bling.

The doily die, and the bow, and hearts die are cheap Chinese ones.

Silhouette butterfly dies are SB.

 Stamped the sentiment with Faded Jeans DI.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MONOCHROME WEDDING CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.

I do hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

My neighbour asked me to make a wedding card for her recently, and as she didn't know the colour scheme of the wedding this is what I made.

I went back to an old design I created  a few years ago as it was a bit rushed, and I wasn't given much time to think up a new design.

Every design of this is always slightly different in any rate.

This is a 8"x8" size card, and box I made to fit it.

Now this didn't photograph well as the colour looks beige looking.

It was supposed to be white pearlised card from Crafters Companion, but it was more Ivory so how they can call it white I don't know. 

I used the Sue Wilson Heart Lattice embossing folder.

The middle die with the sentiment is a cheap Chinese one.

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

I really appreciate all you wonderful comments you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.....DT ADD A NUMBER

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.

Today starts a new challenge over at the 

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES 

 and it's the turn of the B Team this fortnight, and the lovely Judith is our host.

She would like you to add a number to your entries.

The challenge runs from 31/8/17 to Wednesday 13/9/17 and closes at 6PM.

Please take a look at my lovely team mates wonderful interpretation of this theme.

So here is my card I made for my little Great Granddaughter Laila she goes to ballet classes, and has done since she was quite a lot younger.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The ballet dancer I found on the Internet, and I enhanced her colour with Copic pens, and  decoupaged her skirt.

The papers are a Cuddly Buddly download. 

Lace and daisies from The Works.

Here is a picture of Laila in her ballet outfit.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

CHRISTMAS CARD YET AGAIN

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

A little info about the cards I made for my Daughter's works they have nearly all been sold, and when the last one is sold they will have made nearly £100 so that was a big success, and I am so chuffed that people like them so much.

A few years ago I was struggling with my mojo as far as Christmas cards were concerned I just couldn't think of designs.

Currently I seem to be on a roll as far as designing my Christmas cards and ideas are flowing fast and furiously thank goodness.

So sorry this is yet another Christmas card made yesterday for the Allsorts Challenge.

Now apologies if this tree design is any ones, as I thought of it, and am not sure if it just came to me or I have seen it somewhere before. 

The challenge is to use ribbon in a different way so here is my interpretation of the challenge.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The holly paper is a download from the C&C club .

The ribbon with the holly is a TL one.

The holly corners are TL die.

Pierced the edges of the white card with TH ruler.

Sentiment from the Internet.

Thank you so much for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BOX FOR THE 60th BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.

Sorry I didn't get around to commenting on everyone yesterday, but the old RLS kicked in while I was doing it, and that aggravates my knees and hips too, so I had to stop, and walk around to try and stop it.

Not a great deal of success either especially if I'm overtired.

Still that's enough of my complaining I am sure there are more people with more troubling health probs than me.

I am going to try and catch up today though.

As stated in my earlier post I had to make a box for the 60th Birthday card so here it is.

This is the box I make for an 8"x8" size card.

Luckily I had the same Graphic 45 papers in a 12x12 pad to use for the box.

Computer generated sentiment.

I made the pattern inside the circle with a 1" circle punch chopped in half.

I rather like how this looks, and will use it again sometime stuck a button and some twine where it didn't quite fit.

Thank you so much for your visit and the wonderful comments you make, they are really appreciated.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

CAMPER VAN BIRTHDAY CARD

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

Not been feeling to well lately, and my RLS has been playing me up, this keeps me up a lot at night, and sometimes when I'm sitting at the computer so sorry if I have been missing for a few days.

All went well with the fete on the weekend at my Daughter's works.

She is a manager for a charity that looks after people with learning difficulties, and they hold a fete every year to raise awareness of peoples learning problems, and to fund raise to help with costs of things their clients like to do.

This could be like last year an outside Gym or, Outings to Concerts, or Theatre, and maybe items for their communal lounge.

I always donate my takings to them, and it's wonderful to see them every year enjoying the fete. 

Didn't do so well this year as it was just one day, and the weather was very showery off, and on, but I left a box of cards for staff, and visitors to perhaps buy over the next few months so they can get more funds.

So at long last my card for today, it is one I made for one of my  Daughter's  colleagues that buys a few cards throughout the year for special occasions.

This is a 8"x8" size card, and bag I decorated to match.

I was asked to include a Camper Van as she loves them, and a photo of her also.

I originally thought of putting her photo inside the camper van, but the photo of head was too big to do that, and as that was sent to me with the request that is how I had to use it.

I used lots of Snippets for the decoupaged flowers, and the corners

that I had left from another card I made, as the paper was 12x12.
The butterflies are also made from snippets by my good blog friend Wendy L.

The bag has a different paper on it as I ran out of the Snippets, but the paper was very similar.

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

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

SISTER'S ANNIVERSARY CARD

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

I would like to welcome my newest followers, and thank you so much for pressing the button to follow me.

I am not sure if some of you have blogs as I can't seem to find you so I can follow you also.

If you read this please let me know your  blogs if you have one.

Well it's nearly the weekend again, and where oh where has another week gone to.

We have had a bit of a mad week this week, and wanted to get some food shopping done, and it was one of those weeks when everything happened first of all I had my Grand Children Monday and Tuesday.

Then our immersion water heater broke down, but we weren't sure if it was the thermostat or the heater unit.

So it was like the there's a hole in my bucket song.

First the electrician, then the plumber to drain the water tank, and now we have to wait for the electrician tomorrow again, but did manage to shop this lunchtime thank goodness as supplies were getting to a desperate situation, as I hadn't done a big shop for a couple of weeks. 

In between we were asked to perhaps bring our Daughter's fiance home from hospital too.

So here is the Anniversary card I made for my sister, and her husband which was on the 15th of this month.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The lovely coloured card is Hunkydory pearlised card.

I cut a circle aperture out of white card, and then added my lace die cuts glued to the inside of the aperture.

Finally I added some die cut filigree leaves to the outside edges that came with the Tattered Lace Shabby Offset Oval Die that I used for the lace.

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

I really do appreciate every visit , and wonderful comment.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I also decoupaged the bow, and the bow tails.

I added a Snippet of yellow card behind the windows to make it look like the lights are on in the church.

The sentiment is a stamp I won on the Snippets playground.
