A CARD AND BOX WITH ROSES

Hi and good morning to all my talented followers and visitors.
I hope you all had wonderful Monday, and that you managed
to find some time to craft.
Well it's Tuesday already, it only seems a short while since
I said it was Tuesday last week.
THANK YOU for all your lovely comments on my work.
Every one makes me want to do a Happy Dance all around
my workshop.
You are so kind to visit me each day.
My card today is a card and box made for my other
daughter in law.
It was her 40th Birthday in January but I couldn't give this
to her on her Birthday as she and my Son were going to 
Florida on holiday for her 40th.
So I had to make them both small cards to take with them,
as their Birthdays are very close together.
So this card and box I gave her when she came home.
I couldn't have her miss out on a special card for such a 
Birthday could I.

Now the box.

The ingredients for this is.
An 8x8 shaped card.
I then matted in the same shape with Centura Snow White
pearl card.
I used a Creative Expression stamp and Stamped my edges
with a clear pigment ink.
I then brushed mica powder in blue all over the stamped 
images.
I added another mat of Turquoise Pearl Card Embossed
with the Special Touch Mask called Ivy.
I then added some Roses made from the Spellbinders Rose
Creations Die.
I also added some satin ribbon pleated along the bottom.
I finished it off with bow and some pearly swirls, also
flat backed pearls from my stash.
The box I made with A3 Centura Snow white pearl card.
Matted in a similar way to the card.
I then added a reverse colour roses to the box.
I hope you like my creation.
Thank you again for taking the time to visit my blog.
Have a wonderful crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

GET WELL CARD

Hi and good morning to all my talented followers and visitors.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and the weather was
sunny, where ever you live.
THANK YOU for all your support and lovely comments.
I really do appreciate every comment made.
It is very nice of you to spare your precious time to visit me.
I was on Planet Suzy's blog last night and she had a lovely 
photo of a wood pigeon in her bird bath, so I got to thinking.
I know some say that thinking is bad for you. lol.
In any rate I took a picture of a Dragon Fly in my gareden
about a year ago.
It perched on my plastic greenhouse for such a long time so
I quickly got my camera and photographed it.
Here is the picture.

Now to my card today it's a Get Well Card for a lady in my
Tuesday Club that fell and broke her ankle.

The ingredients for this is.
An 8x8 card blank.
Matted with gold mirri and distressed with Tattered Rose
distress ink to make the white card peach colour and to 
take the shine off the mirri a little.
I used the Cupcakecrafting CD Floral Delights for the 
background paper and the inside. I also stamped my tulip
in similar paper form the CD.
The tulip stamp is from Stamps by Chloe at
www.chloescreativecards.co.uk
I then used my Grand Label Die for the aperture.
I also cut a butterfly out of my Spellbinders Die and 
added some stones.
A large messy bow with seam binding ribbon that I dyed
with the Tattered Rose ink,  and of course my sentiment in 
the middle  of the Lacy Circle Die and the Parisian Motifs
Die.
I hope you like my card today.
Thank you again for visiting me.
Have a wonderful crafty Monday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

LIME GREEN VENETIAN CARD

Well it's Sunday morning. 
I hope you all had a really good day yesterday.
THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments.
I really do appreciate everyone.
You are so kind to spare the time to visit me.
My card today is one I finished yesterday.
I got inspired by Sue Wilsons bog a few days ago.
One of her creations set my mind working on my own 
version of hers.
It didn't come out quite as wanted but hey I'm pleased with 
what did turn out.
Here it is.

Now the inside.

The ingredients for this.
A4 White card made into and 8x8 card.
Matted with lime green card stock, and then I used some 
white card stock and cut out my Venetian Mask and the 
Venetian Corners.
I then distressed the whole white card with peeled paint
distress ink using the Venetian Mask as a template for the 
pattern.
I spritzed it with water and mica powder and let it dry.
I then put glitter glue all over it in swirling motions.
I then distressed the mask and corners and glitter glued them.
I love the shade they came out with glitter glue on top of the
peeled paint distress ink.
I put the mask and the corners back into my card.
I added a bow and one of my home made pearly pieces in 
the middle, some flowers and the flourishes from the 
Venetian Motifs.
I hope you like it.
Have a wonderful crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I have a Teddy Bear Poem I found on the internet to share
with you.
              Teddy Bear and Good Friends. 
              by Jon Wimer.
           A Teddy Bear is a furry friend 
           whose love and support never end
           it keeps your secrets, and never lies
           Friendly, Fuzzy, Cosy, Wise.
         
           Tell it your secrets 
           It will keep them well
           you don't have to worry,
           it won't ever tell.

           Whenever you need one
            it will always be there
            the same old Teddy Bear
            with the same old stare
            Ready to listen. Ready to care.

Now to my card today.

The ingredients for this is.
An 8x8 card blank. 
Matted with cream card.
I then used  a pattered piece of card from my stash.

Accents, and interlocked them together and glued them.

We are all taking a picnic and our favourite Teddy.
We all have to name our Teddy if it doesn't have one and 
then we will do a little guessing game to see who owns 
which Teddy with that particular name.
We are also having a pass the parcel game which has questions
in it about famous Teddy Bears.
There is a little bar of chocolate with each question and the 
final layer will have a lovely Teddy Bear for the winner.
So I was thinking, I know some might say that's bad for you. lol.
Have you got a Teddy Bear you love and whats it's name.
I would be delighted to read about yours.
Mine is called curly because he has curly fur instead of 
straight fur.
Right I have waffled on enough, today I thought I would show
you what I have been working on this weekend.

I made one of these very similar for my granddaughters 
wedding in July.

50th BIRTHDAY CARD

Hello and good morning to all my followers and visitors.
It's Friday already and the weekends nearly here.
I hope everyone has had a fab week and the weather has been
kind to all of you.
THANK YOU for dropping by and leaving such wonderful
comments.
I very much appreciate each and every one.
Did you all spot the differences yesterday.
Well there was a slight mistake, I posted the wrong picture for 
the first picture, and I didn't notice till I had finished my post,
that evening and I was too tired by then to rectify it. So Sorry.
What happened was I took the first photo to send to the client
before finishing the card, and got them mixed up.
So there were 3 differences really.
1. The double scolloped oval.
2  The single scolloped oval.
3. The embossed background on the ovals, were different.
I hope you liked my little game. Just thought it would interest
you all.
Now to my card for today, no games this time, honest.
This one I made for my daughter's friends Birthday.

Ingredients for this.
An 8x8 scolloped card blank.
Matted with silver mirri and then pink pearlised  card from 
my card stock.
I cut out an aperture of Spellbinders Parisian Motifs before
applying it to my mirrir.
I then put the motif back in the aperture. I cut out a 50 on my
Cricut Machine.
I added some Parisain corners and the accents down one side.
Some pearly swirls and I stamped the little flowers with
Creative Expression stamps called Ivy which has some lovely
what I would call a Christmas rose stamps included.
I coloured them in with mica powder and spritzed them with 
a spray varnish to stop the mica powder coming off.
Finished the card with a bow and a pearly button.
Oh and I nearly forgot I punched flower holes in the scolloped
parts of the card.
The butterflies are from the Memory Box Moonlight Butterfly
die.
Well that's all for today folks, I hope you liked my creation
today.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave you comments.
Have a wonderful crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCES

Hi and welcome to all my wonderful and talented blog
friends and visitors.
Please leave a comment to show you have visited.
I am sooooooo thrilled with your recent comments.
THANK YOU sooooooo much for taking the time to make
them.
I thought today I would set you a little task.
I was asked by my local Cricket Ground to donate a prize
for an auction of promises.
You see their changing rooms had got flooded and they
needed to buy new equipment to replace the flood damaged items.
So I said I would donate 2 of my hand made cards.
Made especially for the person who won the bid.
These cards are the ones I made.
The lady in question wanted 2 Mothers Day cards the same,
but this is where you come in.
They are both nearly the same but slightly different.

Can you spot the differences ?

Now to the inside.

Now to the box.

The ingredients for this is.
A5 card stock.
Cupcakecrafting CD Floral Delights by Andrew Hull.
For the papers and decoupage.
Spellbinders Grand Scolloped Oval Die.
Creative Expressions self adhesive pearl swirls.
The ribbon I dyed with tattered rose distress ink.
I used my favourite Parisian corners, and a button from
my stash.
Well thats all for today folks.
I hope you like my little efforts.
Thank you again for dropping by and visiting me.
Your comments make it all worth while.
Have a wonderful crafty Thursday everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny.

WHITE ENGAGEMENT CARD

Hello and good morning to all my followers and visitors.
Well we are half way through the week now.
Can you believe it is Wednesday already.
THANK YOU for visiting my blog and taking the time
to leave me a comment.
I really do appreciate everyone that is made. 
You are soooooooo kind.
Before I show my card today I would like to tell you a 
little thing my great granddaughter said the other day.
My daughter and granddaughter just arrived to have a 
meal with us. They also brought my 2 little great 
granddaughters with them one is just 1year old and the 
other is 3 years old.
The 3 year old came in and saw we had moved the 
dinning table to eat our meal.
She then said whats going on here then.
Well we all really started to laugh as it sounded so 
funny.
Nothing gets past our little Faye she is a treasure, if 
you know what I mean.
Now to my card. 

The ingredients for this card is.
An 8x8 size card this one was made out of A3 Centura Snow
Pearl card.
Matted with silver mirri card.
Then I embossed some more snow white card with
Spellbinders Enchanted M-Bossability folder.
Moving it to line up the design.
I cut out 5 of the largest Spellbinders Labels Twenty Four.
Then I cut out the 3rd size out of the middle of each.
I then cut out 4 of the 3rd size, and cut the inside of these
with the 2nd size. 
This gave me 9 of the labels 24 frames.
I then layered them with mounting foam to make up this
pattern.
I then added the size 2 of the labels to the centre and a
Parisian motif to the centre of that.
The corners were made with the sizes 2 and 3 cut in half.
I finished it off with a triple bow and a few bits from my
stash.
Cautionary tale if you use Cosmic Pearly PVA glue on
pearlised card the dots go flat as this one did.
So therefore it would have looked better with flat back 
pearls, but what do you think.
I decided to show this card even with imperfections
as I thought the design was worth you having a go at.
I hope you like it.
Well thats all for now folks.
I hope you can understand my babble.
I hope you all have a very wonderful crafty Wednesday.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny.

Hi and good morning to all my blog friends and visitors.
It's Monday morning and the start of a new week.
I hope each and everyone of you had lovely weather over 
the weekend.
THANK YOU for all your lovely comments on my 
creations.
I love to read each one, and appreciate all your precious
time taken to visit me, and make a comment.
My card today is a card and a box I made for a friends
70th Birthday.

Those of you who know my work by now will know I like
to decorate my box to go with the card.

The ingredients for this is.
I made a grey 8x8 card out of 2 A4 pieces of card.
I didn't have the right colour  pattered pearlised card so I
inked a cream one with a mixture of pigment inks I had.
This came out a lovely shade of peach.
I cut out an aperture with the Spellbinders Grand Scolloped
Oval.
Then I cut a smaller one and glued it with sticky pads.
I made a 70 on my Cricut machine, and I also made my
roses with different size flowers off the george basic
cartridge. Glued the edges and dipped them in glitter.
I cut some Spellbinders Parisian Accents and put two
colour ribbons between. 
I didn't have the right colour ribbons so you've guessed
it I died them with a combination of distress ink and 
pigment inks.
Cautionary tale wear gloves for the grey.
I added some peach flat backed pearls to the edges of 
the scollops.
The Butterfly was made out of Spellbinders Fanciful Flight
die.
The box was made in a similar way but I din't have any
more of the patterned card.
I used a Martha Stewart Punch for round the edges of the 
top of the box. This was the large Daisy Punch I think
you can just see part of it.
Well thats all for today folks. 
I hope you like it.
Not sure about the peel offs on the 70 of the card.
What do you think.
I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny.

and some glitter paper I bought from C and C quite a few years ago. The check and the stripe paper were a freebie with a card
making magazine. I put some thick purple ribbon with lace on top
in the centre. The lace has holes in the centre so I threaded another
slightly different colour narrow ribbon through it. The Birthday
Cake digi image is from The Scrapbook Society. The tea cup digi
image is a freebie off the internet. They are both coloured in with 
Promarkers, then I glittered round the images with glitter glue.
Then I put glue and crystal glitter on the flowers and candles.
I made a little flower arrangement with cherry blossoms from
WOC and some from my stash. I added a lacy bow and some flat back flower pearls from my stash also, and oh I nearly forgot the 
design round the oval image is the centre of the Spellbinders Ornate Cross, cut in half and glued to the back to give it a pretty
frame.
I hope you like my entry and thank you for visiting me again.
Have a great crafty Bank Holiday weekend everyone,
Lots of crafty love. Jenny Lawrence.

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD and BLOG CANDY

BLOG CANDY

Hi and good Monday morning to all of you.
May I say a big hello to my new followers, and a big
THANK YOU, To those of you who have given your precious
time to visit my blog over the past week. Your lovely comments
on my work has made me soooooooo happy.
Now to the BLOG CANDY. I have 12 followers now. I know
it says 13, but I put my name on there when you lovely followers
said there was a problem last week, and basically I don't know
how to remove it. I will learn though, I'm sure.
Well I was thinking that when my followers reaches 30 I would
have a draw for the Candy, that is pictured along side.

Now to today's card it's my first Christmas Card of this year. A little different for me but then I like to
try new ideas every now and then. The colours are different too. It will be interesting to hear what you
have to say about it.

Here is the inside of the card.
The card is my usual 8x8 matted with pink and blue card stock. The lace is from you know where by now. The image is from Pink Gems digi images and oh my new watermark is from there too. I coloured
it in with Spectrum Noir pens. A white pen to make the dots on her headdress. Flowers from WOC
and my stash. Flat back pearls from my stash also. The metal corners, and the star pearls I inherited
from my Aunty Pat. I recycled some Spellbinders cut outs left over pieces from the Parisian Dies
round the image, and oh I nearly forgot the sunshine and smiles tag is also a digi image from
Pink Gems site, mounted on a Spellbinders Lacy Cirle die, one on top of the other off set.
I think I might enter this in the pink Gems challenge as the theme is animals or bears.
I hope you like it and thank you again for your precious time.
