Just pop along to the blog to see my team mates fabulous creations.

So here is what I made for my part of the DT.

The butterflies, and the die cut round the edge of the box are in a light brown Metalic Pearlised card by Dovecraft.
The pearls are actually brown not black as they look in the picture.
Chiffon flowers from the works.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to my blog all my very talented
friends, and visitors.
I would like to welcome my latest follower, and
thank you for choosing to follow me, and I do 
hope to see you here as often as you can 
manage it.
 
Well I can't believe it's Friday all ready, it seems
like at one moment it's Monday, and then the 
next it's Friday, what happened to all the days
in between. lol.
I have been busy preparing for my part in TCBH
on Monday.
So maybe that's why the days have flown by.  

Thank you for your continued support of my
blog, and the wonderful comments you make. 
So now it's time to join Erika   HERE  for the 
Oldie for Friday.
Here is mine for this week, and this was shown 
before I started to photograph my insides of my
cards.

 This is a 8"x8" size card.
The patterned poppy card and topper is a old
Hunkydory one.
I made the backing pattern behind the topper
out of Spellbinders Parisian motifs or accents,
by interlocking them and gluing them under the
pearls.
I then added a double Parisian border and some
vintage seam binding ribbon, and a bow.

Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

A LITTLE BOX

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving 
friends and visitors.
I do hope you have all had a great weekend.

May I welcome my newest follower to my blog,
and thank you for choosing to follow me. I do 
hope you return to see what I'm up to often.

Thank you also to my followers who continually 
visit me and make such great comments about 
my work.

The little craft fair I did with my niece wasn't a
very good success. Not many peeps came only
a few that were connected with the disabled club
she attends  and their friends. Still it was a nice
afternoon with lots of lovely disabled people
who were really lovely jolly, and friendly.

Today I have one of the little boxes I made for
the fair. This was made from my snippets left
over after I make my boxes for the 8"x8" size
cards. So you know by now what challenge this
is going into. I do love this challenge, and I have
made such a lot of new blog friends by entering it.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

This is a 4"x4" size box.
I made the flower on top by gluing coloured
rose petals together, and adding some small
beads in the center.
Underneath the flower I layered some doilies.
Round the edge of the box I glued some 
Spellbinders Parisian Border Die cuts.

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

I would like to enter this into the following

Week 100

90th BIRTHDAY CARD

Good evening to all you wonderfully talented blog friends and 
visitors.
THANK YOU for your recent visits and comments.
I really do love reading them all so much.
I also love to visit your blogs and look at your wonderful 
creations. We are all so very different in our styles and ideas.

I have had a wonderful lunch with my ladies from my club.
We needed to use up funds that were left in the bank and thought
a couple of lunches would be a great way to do this.

Tonight I have a card I made 2 years ago, and have never shown
on the blog. It was shown on Create and Craft once when I 
e mailed it on a Sue Wilson's Spellbinders show. That day I won
a Sue original as I was lucky enough to be drawn out of the
cup of chance.
I made the roses with my Cricut Machine as in those days I 
didn't have a rose die. I also coloured the ribbon to match the
card colour with my stamping inks I have.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

 My roses are nowhere as good as Patricia's of Summerhouse
crafts,  but in those days I thought I was very clever using a 
different flower  off the George Basic cartridge. I soon learned
when I started my blog how good you all are at creating these
things with dies.

Now I would like to show you a picture of my Camellia that
has just flowered. Such a pretty flower shape.

Would love to be able to make a similar one in paper.
Thank you again for your visit.
I do hope you all have had a really great day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

visitors.
THANK YOU sooooo much for all your wonderful comments
on my work.
I really do appreciate everyone.
I hope everyone had a nice Tuesday and that you managed to
slot a little bit of crafting into your day.
 I had a very busy day, it started with me sleeping late and then 
I was playing catch up all day and evening. 
Hence I am writing this post at 12.20 am.
I must remember to take the match sticks out of my eyes
before I go to sleep. LOL.

Now to my card for today.

Click on the photo to get a closer look.

Now some pins I made the other day.

 

The size of this card was an A5.
Matted with papers from the Cupcakecrafting CD Floral Delights.
I added a topper, some Spellbinders Dies,  a bow and a button 
from my stash.

A TOUCH OF AUTUMN AND SHOWCASE

Hi and good morning to my wonderful blog friends and visitors. 
Well blow me down it's Friday again where did this week go.
May I say a big THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments,
this week.
I feel soooooo HAPPY that you choose to visit my little corner
of blog land.........

I have not had the chance to craft for 2 days now,  and I am 
getting with drawl symptoms. lol.
Still tomorrows another day, isn't that nearly the title of one of
the Bond Movies.
I would be Daniel Craigs leading lady any day. lol.

My car today is an easel card with a strong Autumn theme.
Sorry not a Bond one. lol.

Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.

This was quite an easy card to make.
I used and A4 leaf patterned card from Hunkydory to make 
the easel.
I embossed The Special Touch Doily Mask with some lovely
brown card I bought many moons ago.
I used one of the lovely Hunkydory toppers of a cute hedgehog.
Before I started I photo copied the card so I had the same paper
to go inside.
The bits left over I made the flowers with and put a brad through
the middle.
I coloured my American Seam Binding ribbon brown to go with
the colours in the card.
I added some Parisian Borders either side of a border strip as 
the easel stopper.
I hope you like this.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN LILAC

Hi and good morning to all my talented followers and visitors.
May I welcome my new follower Barbara, and thank you for
choosing to join my blog. I hope you enjoy visiting my blog.
THANK YOU yet again for all your wonderful comments.
I get soooooo happy reading them every day.

Well I did manage to visit some of your blogs while little
Ellie had her nap, it was quite a long one too she slept for
just over 2 hours.

Here is my card today I hope you like it.

Click on the photo to get a closer look at the card.

This card was made with an A5 lilac deckle edged card.
I embossed The Special Touch Doily Mask and cut away the
circle edges to leave the pointed bits. I added the pieces you 
usually throw away from the Parisian Accents to the points,
and the back of the points. 
Two strips of Parisian Borders down one side, and a big bow
made with American Seam Binding Ribbon coloured with
Milled Lavender Distress Ink.
I decoupaged a Hunkydory topper on top of the doily mask,
and finished it off with some flat backed pearls from my stash.
The center of the ribbon is made with a 1.5 circle punch, and
2 holes made in the middle to make it like a button.

Thank you again for sparing the time to visit me and make a
comment.
I hope each and everyone of you has a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Did you manage to slot some crafting into your weekend.
I have 3 lots of Baby Book cards and boxes to make for my
sister as 4 of her granddaughters are expecting.
THANK YOU for all your lovely comments.
I so appreciate every one.
So to my post for today, I was asked by a neighbour to make 
this for a friend of hers.

Click on the photo to to get a closer look .

Now the inside.

And lastly the box.

The card and box were made from ivory pearlised card
Matted with mrri card and then some lovely pearlised paper.
I made the lovely triangle shape out of the Spellbinders Parisian
Die.
This was not my idea, it was on a tutorial on the Creative 
Harmony blog. Thank you Lindyloo for showing me this
because it is so effective.
To the card I added some flowers, a bow, lacy circles, Parisian
Accents, and Parisian Corners.

PINK PARISIAN BORDER CARD

Hi and good morning to all my talented followers and visitors.
I hope you had a really fab day yesterday. 
I would like to welcome my new follower Dr Sonia from
Bangalore, India.
If you look at my blog comments for yesterday you will 
find her blog address. Try and pay her a visit as she has some
amazing tutorials on there.
She is very keen to recycle lots of our every day items, that
I think is wonderful idea. Less waste in our bins has got to 
be a really good thing.
THANK YOU sooooooo much for all your wonderful
comments on my tag No2 yesterday.
I really do appreciate every one, that is made.

My card for today is one inspired by Sue Wilson.
I'm not sure when she made a similar one but the border
idea was on one of her cards.

The ingredients for this.
An A5 card made for A4 card stock in Centura Snow White
pearl card.
Matted with pink pearlised card stock.
I then cut 4 Spellbinders Parisian Borders and layered them.
I cut out a Parisian Motif with center part cut out for the 
sentiment.
I added a very large bow and recycled a few of the cut outs,
and last of all I added some Cosmic Pearly PVA glue dots.
A quick and simple card to make but very effective all the 
same.
What do you think.
Thank you again for visiting my blog each day.
Have a wonderful crafty Saturday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
