OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

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

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

I very much appreciate all your wonderful comments on my work.

My Daughter works for a charity that looks after clients with learning difficulties, and they are having a fund raising event in August so I am steadily trying to make things to sell on one f their stalls to help.

So if I'm not about much you know the reason why, but I will try to keep up as much as I can.

So onto today, and it's been a few weeks since I joined ERIKA HERE 

with an Oldie for Friday.

It's all just for fun, but a delightful way to show your newer followers some of your older work.

So here is mine this week.

This is an A5 size card.

I used a Hunkydory image, and card stock that came free with their magazine a few years ago.

I added a a doily, and a few Spellbinders Parisian Die Cuts around my sentiment.

The stick pin I made.

Thank you again for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MOTHER'S DAY CARD AND BOX.

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

Well while trawling through my archives of my 
blog looking for a Mother's Day card to post for
the Throwback Thursday Challenge, I found this 
Mother's Day card I had never posted, as I made 
it before I started blogging.
Now I was approached by a neighbour, and asked
if I could donate  making a card for a auction of
promises, in aid of her Grandson's Cricket Club,
which had been flooded out and needed new things.
So the lady who bought my promise wanted 2
Mother's Day cards made, and this is what I 
made for her.

This is a A5 size card, and box made to fit.
I used the Cupcake Floral Delights CD for
the papers, and decoupage.
I used Tattered Rose Distress Ink to colour my
American seam binding for the bow on the card,
and also colour some of the card.

Thank you for your visit and the wonderful 
comments you make.
I so much appreciate everyone of them.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

WHITE ON WHITE SNIPPETS BOX

Hi and welcome yet again to my blog,  all my 
talented craft friends, and visitors.

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my
last card.
I really do love hearing what you think of my 
creations.

Well today I thought I would make my 3rd entry
for the Snippets Playground Challenge.
So here is the box I made with lots out of my 
snippets box, including the lace.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now another view of the box.

When I make my 8"x8" boxes out of A3 box 
board I have a 6" piece left over from the top,
and bottom so I cut this down to 6"x6" square
to make this box.
I made the flower on top the other day, so this
box took me just over an hour to make.
I used my Tonic Diamond Swing punch to 
edge the box, with some card from my snippets box, and added some pearly bits from my stash.
I die Cit 4 Spellbinders Parisian Corners and 
added more pearls, and wallah you have a 
lovely box.
Hope you like it. 

Thank you again for sparing your precious 
time to visit my bog.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

A LITTLE BLACK AND WHITE NO AND A CARD FROM A BLOG FRIEND

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.
Well another weekend is here already, my how time is marching on to the C time of year.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog,
and making such great comments on my work.

Coffee morning was a success we raised over
£200 pounds for the Macmillen Nurses.

My card today is one I made quite quickly last
night for one of my granddaughters who has 
just passed her test.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

This is a 4"x4" size card.
I matted the card with some black card.
I then cut out 16 Spellbinders Parisian Corner
Die pieces, and glued 4 of them back to back,
to create the squares you see.
I put 4 on this card, then added some black
pearls from my stash.
I added a congratulations banner, and did my 
usual inside.
I do hope you like this as I love the all different
designs it makes on the card.

Now I have a lovely card sent to me by my
lovely and wonderful little blogging matey
Sue J or Olliesmam. She sent me this beautiful
card and some lovely stamped images to colour.
Thank you SOOOOOOOOO! much Sue.

She does some lovely work so if your interested
please make her a visit, if your not already one
of her lovely followers.

SNIPPETS EASEL CARD

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

Thank you soooooo much for your visit and
wonderful comments.

Today I am joining in with a challenge I have never entered before.
The challenge is to use up snippets of left over
paper or card from other cards you have made.
So here is my attempt, I made this card mainly
with bits left over from a previous cards, the only 
thing that I haven't used before is the gold doily. 

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

The card is a 6x6 size.
I made the card from bits of card left over 
from my Holly Fairy Card.
Even the card it's self was the left over bit.
I had to join the paper as it wasn't big enough
so I put some ribbon down the join.
I think this idea of using up your bits from left
over projects is fab.

Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

HEARTFELT CREATIONS CARD

Hi and good afternoon to all you talented craft
loving friends and visitors to my blog.
I do hope you are having a pleasant Sunday.
Thank you for all your comments on my last
card.
I really do appreciate your time and comments.

For a while I have been wanting the Burst of
Splendor paper pad from Heartfelt Creations.
So luckily my hubby said the other day I could
buy it, and this is what I have made with it.
The picture in the frame is of my mother when
she was young.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

My mother was always decoupaging flowers
from old Birthday cards onto photos before
putting them in a frame.
So as I was using a photo of my mother I 
thought I would follow her example.
My card is an 8x8 size.
As I didn't have quite the colour card I needed
for this I distressed my card with Peeled Paint
Distress Ink, I also did this to matt and layering
card only this time I used Wild Honey Distress
Ink. 
I'm not sure I think I should have used Antique
Linen instead. What do you think ?
I decoupaged the corner of the paper pad, and 
cut out the smaller flowers from elsewhere in 
the paper to go round my mother's photo.

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

THINKING OF YOU CARD

Good morning to all you wonderful and talented
 craft loving friends and visitors.
I hope you are all feeling well and anyone who 
is not well I do hope you will soon be feeling better again.

THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments
on my last card.
Reading them all gives me a huge boost of 
confidence.

Well I received my new E Bosser, and I love it 
soooooo much already, and the good news is
Spellbinders are going to replace my GC handle
free of charge.
Mind you my hubby did say it was quite a weak
handle for all the work it does.
I did notice from the time I received it when in 
use it squeaked a lot, but never thought of 
querying it. Silly me.

Today I have a card made with a Sheri Baldy
Bestie image.
I bought 2 images recently and this was a 
freebie she sent me too.
The card is one I have been asked to make for
a lady who founded my little singing group.
She is not at all well, but we thought we would
put thinking of you on it instead of Get Well,
because sadly we don't think she is going to.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

This is a 8x8 card.
The image is as I said a Sherri Baldy one 
coloured in with Felxmarkers ans Promarkers.
I received a lovely A4 embossing folder with
my E Booser so of course I had to try it out.
I used the bright pink card again although it 
looks red in the photo.
I'm not at all sure about the colour of the flowers
though, they look a bit dull to me as I distressed
them with Faded Jeans Distress ink.

Thank you again for taking the time to visit me.
I hope you all have a wonderful day, and you
manage to slot some craft into it.
Lots of crafty love.   JENNY.

BABY BOY BOOK CARD AND BOX

Good morning dear blog friends and visitors.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO much for all
your wonderful comments on my last creations.
I really do appreciate every one that you make.

I do hope everyone is fine and bushy tailed today.
I am sorry I have not visited your blogs for a couple of days, all those horrible mundane jobs
got in the way of me crafting and blogging.

I got up to bright sunshine this morning, and now
it's turned all dull and raining. Boo Hoo.

Today I have a really long post, as it's one of my
Baby Book cards and boxes which I finished
before the last card and box.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the side view of the box.

Now the book card.

The inside.

Now last of all the back of the book.

This is a 6x6 size card and box.
The images and papers are from the Joanna Sheen
Baby Love CD except for the one on the first page
which is from a small decoupage book.
I used the Glitter Girls Cosmic Board to do the
hand embossing.
Then I added some SB die cuts and bits form my 
stash as you do.

Thank you again for taking the time out of your
busy day to visit and comment on my work.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

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.

My card today is one my daughter asked me to make, and it's
the one we all hate to make a sympathy card.
It is for her friends dad who passed away recently.
I spent many hours yesterday pondering on the design, and I just
wasn't happy about it.
Then I walked away and watched some TV as you do, came back
and it fell into place, and I was much happier with the result.
Interesting to see what you think.

Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.

Now the inside.

This was a 6x6 card size.
I had to make it quite flat to go in the post.
I used centura snow white pearl card and then I matted some
lovely pearly patterned papers on top.
I cut out 3 Parisian Motifs out of some lovely starstream aqua
pearl card, then I cut 16 Parisian Corners.
I added one to each corner inside and out, and then I added one
to the north south east and west of the front motif.
This gave it that lovely diamond shape.
A flower in the center and some pearls.
There you have the finished card, I hope you like it.

Thank you again for your visit.
Have a wonderful crafty Monday.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

aid  in the way of extra leaves.
What happened was I decided to do a trail form the butterfly,
with gold pva glue well I don't know if it was the paper or my
glue but they all went horrible as you can see from the antenna,
which I couldn't cover up. 
On my card you will see some lovely crochet pieces that the
