BOX FOR THE BABY BOY CARD

Good morning dear friends and visitors.
THANK YOU for taking the time out of your busy day to visit my blog and make such wonderful comments.

I hope you all had a fab weekend with great 
weather.
I am off to my singing practice this afternoon
as we have a performance at a nursing home on
Thursday afternoon. I'm getting a bit more used
to singing in public now as this will be my 3rd
performance.

Today I have the box that goes with the Baby 
card, it is all packed up and ready to be posted
to my sister in Wales.
I hope you like what I have done with the box,
as I ran out of the powder blue card I used for 
the card.


CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Sorry about the image on the box for some 
reason it would not come out as clear as the card.
This box is to hold an 8x8 size card.
I found the lovely teardrop gems in my stash
which I bought ages ago form C and C, and I 
think they go lovely in the cut outs of the SB
Tear Drop Circles.

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

NEW BABY BOY CARD

Good evening to all you talented craft loving
people and visitors.
THANK you for choosing to visit my blog and 
leave such fabulous comments.
I am always delighted by your wonderful comments.

I do hope you are all having a super weekend,
with lots of crafting time to yourself.

Tonight I have just finished a Baby Boy card for
my sister to give her granddaughter, when she has
her first Baby at the end of the month. She knows
it's a boy so no problems with having to make two
different colour cards just in case.  Isn't technology great if you decide you want to know the sex of your Baby.

Now the inside.


I have used the Joanna Sheen Baby Love CD
for the backing papers, and the image.
Some doilies under the SB Dies.
This was made entirely with SB Dies.

Thank you again for taking the time out of your
busy lives to visit me.
I hope you all have really wonderful Sunday
tomorrow.

YELLOW BOX AND CARD.

Good morning to all you wonderful and talented
craft loving people and visitors.
I hope you all have had really good crafty week.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO much for all
your wonderful comments on my last card.

I do hope the weather is starting to improve where
you live. Here in East Kent it is very lovely one
day and quite horrible the next, and still quite cold.

I am in the middle of a Baby Book project at the
moment for my sister's granddaughter, and I have
been looking after my little great granddaughter's 
yesterday. So I ma sorry if I haven't been visiting
your blogs.

Today I have a box and card I made about 5 years
ago, and before I was bought my Grand Calibur.
It was for a lady who was retiring from her job, and loves to go golfing. There are quite a few
photos for this one, so I hope you are not bored
with it.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

     
     



                                 
  This is an A5 size card book.
Made by gluing 3 A5 size  card together and
then gluing the center pages together at the back
to make the center piece.
I decorated it with freebie images found on the internet, and peel offs.
Now I know a lot of you very professional card
makers don't use many peel offs, but this was made before I was told this by a good crafting buddy. Still I do think they have a place sometime.

Thank you again for taking the time to visit me,
and leaving your wonderful comments. 
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

80th BIRTHDAY CARD

Good morning dear blog friends and visitors.
Sorry I haven't been about blogging for a few
days. We were away for a long weekend in
Mansfield for a wedding reception being held
there. I hope to get down to some serious bloging
later today, keeping my fingers crossed that I'm
not asked to baby sit for my great granddaughter's.
I really need to get cracking as I have a boy baby
card to make, and also one of those baby book
cards I make too.

Thank you for comments on my last card.
I really do appreciate everyone that you make.

I went out to do my singing with my group of
singers yesterday. It is so lovely see the people
in the nursing homes enjoying our little 
entertainment we do. It was my second outing
with them and I am really enjoying it. Wish I 
had done it many years ago.

Now to my card for today. I made this one a 
long time ago for a lady in my little club who's 
sister lives in Scotland. It was a rather quick 
card because she didn't give me much notice.
It also had to be fairly flat as it was being posted.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now I have some more of my sister's jewellery
she makes.



On my card I used the Cupcake CD Floral Delights for the paper.
I used a template to make the large 80.
Flowers from my stash, with Stickles to glitter
them.

Thank you again for your visit. 
Hopefully I will be round to see what you have
all been creating later today, as I have to go
food shopping as the cupboard and fridge looks
a tad bare.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MR TUMBLE'S SPOTTY BAG WITH A DIFFERENCE.

Good afternoon dear blog friends and visitors.
I hope you all enjoying your Bank Holiday weekend and that the
weather where you are is kinder than it is in KENT.
They said we were going to have a fantastic weekend weather
wise. Well I can tell it's very dull and overcast here, and it's tried
to rain once or twice. Had to rush out and bring my washing in
not long ago, and I hate leaving my craft desk when I'm 
creating. lol.

THANK YOU sooooooooooo much for your kind and wonderful 
comments left on my last card.

Yesterday I looked after my little great granddaughter for her
mother as she works on a Friday, as  her usual babysitter was
not able to have her.  When my granddaughter and my other
great granddaughter dropped off Ellie her sister Faye who's
Birthday it is on the 10th said to me are you making me a card
with Mr Tumble on this year.  Now how can I not make her 
what she wants. So this is my effort. 

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


Now the inside.



I thought for a while, what I would do this year, so it wasn't the
same as last year, and this is what I came up with this morning.
The bag card was made with 3 A4 size pieces of card.
The papers inside are from the paper stack book I bought a 
few weeks ago.
I edged round the bag with glitter ribbon, and also used some 
to strengthen the handle.
I think I will make a plate stand for it so it stands up.

Thank you again for your visit.
If your weather is not nice like mine is, then I hope you manage
to do some crafting. 
I do hope you 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.

TWIT TWOO MIDNIGHT ELEGANCE

Good morning dear and wonderful craft loving blog friends and
visitors.
It is a wonderful sunny morning in Kent,  after a fairly cold night
so it's a little brisk outside at the moment, but I'm sure as the day
wears on it will be lovely and warm.
I do hope your weekend is a very relaxing one, and that you are
all managing to get a little crafting slotted into your day.

THANK YOU for all your comments on my last creations.
You all are so very generous with your lovely comments, and I
really do appreciate your time spent visiting me.

I have joined a singing group that used to entertain my little
club. We practice on a Monday afternoon, and then occasionally
go to nursing homes and entertain the residents. The money we 
make for this goes to the  Cerebral Palsy charity so I think  it's worthwhile giving my time for something so needy.
I have been asked to do a solo and am getting weak at the knees
just thinking about my first time singing to an audience.

Well enough of my waffle as Planet Susie would say.
Today I have a card I made with some craft sheets I bought 
at the NEC in march they are Hunkydory and I fell in love
with them as soon as I saw them, and looking at my blog 
layout you can understand why. I just love OWLS.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside, because you know me I have to decorate the
inside too.


As stated earlier the card and toppers are Hunkydory.
The purple pearlescent metallic card is Dovecraft.
I bought the lovely Rhinestone Owl at the NEC too.
Thank you again for your visit today.
I hope you are all experiencing lovely weather this weekend.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

IVORY ON IVORY WEDDING CARD

Good evening to all you wonderful and talented blog friends
and visitors.
I hope you have all had a wonderful Saturday.
THANK YOU for all your comments on my last creation.
Well I'm in full swing now and have just finished my wedding 
card, really I finished it at lunch time but had to let the glue set
before photoing it. So sorry the photos have come out a little
darker than I would have liked.
I am quite pleased with how this has turned out. One of my 
happy dance cards.
The ivory pearlised card I used was a lovely brocade type, but
sadly it's not showing in the photo.
This card I bought many moons ago and never wanted to use it.
You know the sort you buy and wish you had bought a whole lot more because it's so lovely, and then never want to use it till now.

Click to Enlarge.


Now the inside.



I am going to make the box for it tomorrow.
I made a slight mistake and used white centura pearl card for
the base card now I wished I had used the ivory as I had both.
I suppose it was one of my senior craft moments. lol.
Still I think it doesn't show much.
Thank you again for sparing your time to visit and make such
wonderful comments, I very much appreciate them all.
Have a wonderful and crafty Sunday tomorrow.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

The papers are ones from a paper stack book .
The butterfly is off and old hair clip that broke.

TRYING TO GET MY MOJO BACK

Good morning dear and talented blog friends and visitors.
I do hope you have all had wonderful week, as the weather has
warmed up a little, and that lovely yellow shinny thing in the sky
has made quite a few appearances to warm us up.

THANK YOU for your recent comments on my shopping bag.
As I stated I am trying to find Mr Mojo, as he flew the coupe a
few weeks ago and hasn't made a return yet. lol. 
Every morning I eagerly look out of the window to see if he has
nested in a near by tree, but no such luck so far.
I really need him back as I have a 4th Birthday card for my great
granddaughter to do and also a wedding card for my stepson who 
has just flown to Las Vegas to get married. Luckily I don't need it
till they get back when we are visiting them for a family 
celebration for those that could not go with them.

Today I have a card I started quite a few weeks ago and could
not think how to finish.
Well it's finished now but I am still not too happy with it.

Click to enlarge.

Now the inside.



I used the ribbon weaving on the bottom of the card.
The papers are from The Desert Blooms Pad.
I used a new die I had for my birthday back in March for 
the flower in the center and some Stickles Star Dust to glitter
the flower.
Thank you again for you visit and patience with my blog posting.
I do hope you all have a very wonderful and crafty day.

Well the weather has warmed up slightly, so I have been busy
gardening, catching up on all the jobs that should have been  
done and dusted weeks ago, but for the weather.

A big THANK YOU to all of you for your lovely comments
on my last creation there were quite a few imperfections in it.
So I really appreciate all the lovely comments made.

I bought them at my local library 3 for £5 so excellent value
for money and you can decorate them how you like.

GRAND PIANO

Good morning dear friends and visitors.
Sorry I haven't visited you for a few days, but I seem to have 
slowed right down to a snails pace lately. Everything seems to 
be taking me ages to do. Maybe it's my age. lol.

work. 
I very much appreciate you sparing the time out of your busy
lives to visit me and make such fabulous comments.

really pleased with the black and white of the card.

but I had that op 5 years ago.
Well that's enough of my probs there are peeps a lot worse off
than me.

Good morning dear blog friends and visitors.
I hope the weather where you are hasn't been to severe over night.
We had a small fall of snow but nothing major, but it's still very
cold and that darn wind makes it seem even colder.

THANK YOU for all your comments on my work, and for making 
the time in your busy lives to visit and make a comment.
I very much appreciate your visit, and comments.

You know in my last post I mentioned I do buy digi images.
Well this is one I bought last week.
I fell in love with it straight away, I hope you like it too, and what
I have done with it.
The digi image on the front of the card I coloured in with Promarkers, and the one on the inside was already coloured in.

Now the inside.




The papers I used on this were docrafts Papermania capsule
collection the heather paper pack.
A Whoopsi Daisy digi image.
Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I used the Parisian Accents for the corners and between the
papers.
The Grand Decorative Circles and Grand Circles  Dies.
Thank you again for visiting my blog.
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
I'm off to my daughters for lunch today, yippee no cooking
or washing up to do. lol.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

CATCHING BUTTERFLIES

Good afternoon to all you wonderful and talented craft friends
and visitors.
THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments on my last
card.
I hope the weather has been good to you where you live.
It has been very cold in Kent and windy too, the temperature 
hardly got above freezing today.
The yellow thing in the sky that warms us up made a short 
appearance for about 15 minutes around lunch time.
It could have given us a few more hours of sunshine now
couldn't it.
Well never mind there's always tomorrow maybe the sun will 
shine a little bit longer, but then again it could rain or throw
that horrid white stuff at us.

My card today I made with a freebie image from the Whoopsi 
Daisy Images.
I do actually buy some too. lol.

Now the inside.



This card was made with papers from docrafts Papermania 
Capsule Collection.
I have used a Martha Stewart punch across the middle and 
round the image, the image was coloured in with Flexmarkers.
I have used Di-namics Corner Dies, some beading from my
stash and also the chipboard flower.
The Grand Square Dies for the inside.
The hat pin I made myself to go with the colours in the card.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comments.
I hope you continue to have a very pleasant Thursday.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

STEAMPUNK DOG WALKER

Good morning dear blog friends and visitors to my blog.
I hope you all had a fabulous day yesterday and managed to slot 
a little craft into your day.
THANK YOU sooooooo much for all your wonderful comments.
I really do appreciate everyone that you make.

I have good news again, I made the top 3 in the Fab n Funky
challenge with my last card.  Yeah.
I am so happy at the mo sitting on cloud nine so to speak.

Today I have a Steampunk card well sort of as I don't own much
steampunk embellishments.
The image is a freebie from this Vince at his blog.

Vince for the image.

Now the inside.


I used the Desert Blooms Pad for  the papers.
The image was coloured in with Flexmarkers.
I have used the Grand Labels One Die and reversed the papers.
Di-namics Corners Die.
I saw on Sue Bearhouses blog that she had used some nuts and 
washers on one of her cards so popped a couple of screws under 
the image.  Thank you Sue for the inspiration. 
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a wonderful day where ever you are.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY
