EXPANDABLE BOOKLET CARD


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

It's my Son's 50th Birthday today I wanted to do a memory album, but with the circumstances I ran out of time to make one.
Will try to do one a little later in the year.
So I made an expandable booklet card with some of his fave sports inside.
The front is a bit CAS for me, and my style.




This is 5"x5" in size.
The booklet is made from 3 of the 5" square cards.
I bought the gold rainbow mirri card at the Kent Craft Show recently teamed it up with Linda Chapman's black card.
The sporting pictures inside are Hunkydory Top Deckers.
My Son had a B/Cue recently to celebrate his Birthday as they were going away on his Birthday.
On the table were the confetti with the words Happy Birthday and 50 on so pinched a few to put on the inside of his card.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
I really appreciate each visit, and wonderful comments you make.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MY BLOGS 6TH ANNIVERSARY THIS MONTH


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

It's my blogs 6th Anniversary this month, and I can hardly believe how quick that time has gone.
To think I set up my blog amazes me as when I did it I was fairly new to computers.
So to celebrate my blog anniversary I have put lots of my followers who regularly visit, and make comments in a hat, and hubby drew a name out for me the name drawn out was Kath from the blog Plain and Simple.
So I would like to buy her a voucher of £25 where ever she would like me to buy it for her.
I will be doing similar draws with different vouchers throughout the remaining month.
So Kath if you let me know where you would like me to buy your voucher.

In the meantime here is a card I made for my Son who is a big fan of biscuits.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
The biscuit die is a Tattered Lace one that comes with a charisma download.
I printed it off on photographic paper.
I think the biscuits look quite real don't you.
Die cut the Happy Birthday 4 times, and glued together to make it stand out more.
The son letters were snippets of letters cut out previously for other projects.

Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
I always appreciate your visit and wonderful comments.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

RUGBY BIRTHDAY CARD


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

I do hope you are having a great weekend.

Now as the Rugby starts today, and hubby is sat watching it so I thought I would show you a card I made for my Granddaughter's Hubby.
He is a sports teacher in a school, and played Rugby in Uni.
So this card I made for his Birthday which was back in October last year.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I found the image on the Internet, and then I made the backing paper on my 3D2 CD from the image.
I decoupaged the image of the rose found some images of a Rugby Ball and Boots on another CD.
His name I die cut 3 times and glued together to make it stand out better.

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

40th BIRTHDAY CARD BOX AND BAG


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

I thought for a change from Christmas I would show you a card I was asked to make.
The instructions were that the lady in question loved tiaras, and electric blue.
This was a bit of a nightmare finding that colour card, so the wonderful Ang, Mrs Duck gave me  some lovely card, and I sprayed the rest with Tattered Angels Mica spray to get my colour I wanted. 
The card has the mica sprayed colour on top, and the one form Ang as a matt layer. 







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

Thank you so much for your visit and your precious time.
I really appreciate every visit, and comment.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Cut out the name, and the age with Gold Rainbow Mirri card.
Still have to make a box for this one.

HUBBIES BIRTHDAY CARD


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

Well are you all melting with this HOT! weather.
I have found a good way to cool down I run a flannel under cold water and lay it on my face and my neck, and you can't believe how that cools you down.
Never thought of it before, but I used to cool the children's temps when they were ill like that.
Try it if you haven't it really works well. 

Today is my hubbies 78th Birthday, and this year I thought I would put Marilyn Munroe on his card as he has always loved her photos especially black and white ones as he used to take lots of photos at one time, and has always loved black and white photography.
So I won the Quirky challenge last month, and won $15 of digi images from Ike's Art and this was one I chose with Hubbies card in mind.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
The digi image is from Ike's Art.
The papers are a Cuddly Buddly download, but they were brown.
So light bulb moment hooray.
I printed it in brown, and then copied it in black and white.

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

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

3rd BIRTHDAY CARD FOR ELLIE

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

Today I have the 3rd Birthday card I made for
Ellie's mum to give her.

flowers, bows, and of course a butterfly.
