OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
I would like to welcome my newest follower, and thank you so much for joining my blog, and I do hope to see here as often as you can find the time.
 
Well it's Friday again so soon, and where oh where has this week gone again.
So as it's Friday it's time to share an Oldie for Friday with ERIKA HERE
Just post something you have shown on your blog before to join in, and leave a comment on her post so she knows your playing.
It's all just for fun, but a delightful way to show your new followers what you have made in the past.
 So here is mine for this week.

This is a 4"x4" size card.
I have always enjoyed using my dies in unusual ways, and this was one of the results.
I made this pattern by joining the Spellbinders Parisian Corner Dies to give you this sort of Asian design.

Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE No 42 Z IS FOR ZIG ZAG

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
This evening I have a card I made for the Butterfly Challenge, and the letter is Z for Zig Zag.
So here is what I came up with instead of putting Zig Zags on the card I spotted this Zig Zag die in my drawer.
Well it's not  called a Zig Zag die it's a Spellbinders Square Swatches Die,
but the edges were Zig Zagged so I used it with some snippets to make this card.

This is just under 4"x4" in size.
I embossed the brown snippets of pearlised card, and twisted the shape to give it a different look.
The small butterflies were the C&C
club gift last month, and they are 
Tattered Lace.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments you make.
I so very much appreciate them all.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE & NBUS CHALLENGE CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Well it's the weekend yet again, and I can hear you all cheering, and saying I hope the weather is good to us.

Thank you so much for your visit I really do appreciate your time.

Today I have a card I made for the Butterfly Challenge, and it also conforms with the Nbus
Challenge that starts today on Darnell's blog.

This is a 6"x6" size card.
The paper used is Back To Basics by Dovecraft
Monochrome.
I have only used one die cut, in the inside of my 
card, all the rest are hand cut with scissors.
Now the Nbus items used are the Papers,
Ribbon, and the Corner Rhinestones. 
I hope you like my design, I came up with.
The inside view looks as if the corner of the 
front is overlapping the card, but it isn't, and I 
should have photographed it again, but I was 
too lazy to pull out my photographing box again.
So I hope you will excuse the look.

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

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Thank you for your continued support of my 
work, and all the wonderful comments you 
always make on my work. 

Well I can't believe it's Friday again already. 
The weeks are just flying by and soon it will
be the C time of the year.
Now as it's Friday, it's time to join Erika HERE
with your Oldie for Friday.
I was visiting Erika's blog yesterday and she
posted the most beautiful book she had made
for her mother to carry pictures of her 
grandchildren in her bag.
 So this reminded me of my little baby books 
I made, and I thought my newer followers
might like to see them.
I made 8 of these over a period of a year, as my
sisters grandchildren were all expecting over
this period, and they were made for my nieces
and nephews to give them.
So sorry this post is a bit picture heavy.

This is the front cover.

This is the back of the book.

This is the middle of the book.

And lastly the box.

This is a 6"x6" size book card, and box to fit.
The image and the papers are from the Joanna
Sheen Baby Love CD.
I coloured my American Seam Binding Ribbon
Bow with Distress Ink to get the lovely pink
colour. 
I used pink chalk round the patterned edge of
 the box.
All other items from my stash.

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

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.

BOOK MARK

Good afternoon dear blog friends and visitors.
I hope you are all having a glorious weekend,
and the weather is being very kind to you.

Thank you for all comments on my last creation.
I very much appreciate everyone that you make.

This afternoon I have a Book Mark that I made
for a challenge entry into a Book Mark Challenge
on a friends blog last year. I realized that it was
before I started my blog so I thought I would
show it on here. Some of you who have also 
followed my friends blog will perhaps recognize 
it.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

I cut out 2 SB Square Swatches out of silver 
card and embossed them with the Enchanted
M- Bossabilities  embossing folder.
Then I glued them together round half of the 
edges.
I then decorated the top with the middle cut
outs of the SB Ornate Cross Die.
This I did by interlacing the pieces together, and glued some of cross edges between. I also made the ornate piece under the button  from the cross pieces too.
I added some pearls and an organza flower
from my stash, and wallah you have a very 
pretty bookmark to give a friend or keep yourself.

Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have managed to do some crafting
in this hot spell. I am very lucky as I have a 
overhead fan on my ceiling in the craft room.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
