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.

friends, and visitors.
Thank you for your really great comments on my 
last card.
I very much appreciate your time and visit.

Well tomorrow is Friday and this week has been 
eventful to say the least.
On Tuesday I had to call an ambulance for my 
DH as he was in so much pain.
He spent 24 hours in hospital, there and they did some tests, but could not find the cause.
He is fine now, and hoping it won't come back.

Today I have a card made for my Sons Birthday.
Now he rides a motorbike and has done some
motorbike training with Kent Police.
He also loves his bicycle and thinks nothing of
going out on a 50 mile cycle on a Sunday morning.
He also does spinning at the gym when he's not 
out of the country with his work
I am not happy with how this one turned out.
The distress inking doesn't seem right somehow.
See what you think.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.

Nearly forgot that I used some of my snippets 
for the die cuts so this means I can enter the

FREEBIE HUNKYDORY CARD

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

here in Kent or my part of Kent.
I do hope you are experiencing better weather
where ever you may live.

Thank you again for all time and comments on
my work.
I do very much appreciate your lovely comments.

Hunkydory card and images, that was a freebie,
with a craft magazine.

Now the inside.


This is a 8"x8" size card.
As I stated this was a Hunkydory image and
paper. 
I copied the paper so I had my usual one to 
co- ordinate inside.
I decided to add part of some pink craft doilies,
to the upper part, and bottom of this card.
Now this was my idea, but I noticed on reading
the magazine the freebie came from, that one of
the designers in the magazine had also used a 
similar idea. So I am pleased that I am thinking on the lines of craft designers.
My flowers at the top and bottom are made with
the smallest Britannia Rose Die.

Thank you again for you visit.
I do hope you are ll having a wonderful week
so far.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

FOR THE BABY GIRLS BROTHER

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving 
friends, and visitors.
May I say a BIG WELCOME to my newest 
follower, and thank you for choosing to follow
me, and may you visit my blog often.

THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments
on my last card.
I very much appreciate each and everyone that
you make.

Now my last card was a commission, but I got 
the wrong end of the stick.
It was wanted so that the little brother could 
open his own card when the baby arrives.
So the old thinking cap went on again, and here
is what I created.

CARD AND ENVELOPE.


Now the inside.



This is a 6"x6" size card.

I went around the edges of the card and envelope
with my Promarkers again, but this time I used 
3 colours pink, blue, and green, to give it a 
rainbow effect.
I distress inked the edges of the card and paper,
with Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress
Inks.
The turtle image was a freebie off the internet,
and coloured in with Promarkers to match the
colours of the card.
The paper was from Joanna Sheens Baby Love
CD.
I glued some light blue lace around the hand cut
banner sentiment.
I followed this theme inside, and added a cut up
piece of doily either side the banner.

No die cuts were harmed in this creation. lol.
Thank you again for your visit and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Pram Die cut off in 2 different shades of pink,
to the sides of the topper.

topper and sentiment.

PEACH AND BROWN

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Well I do hope you all had a wonderful Christmas,
and the New Year is starting to be a really great one for all of you.
Sorry I have been missing again, but I have had
family staying for a few days.

Thank you for all your wonderful support of my
blog and the really great comments you make on
my work.

I have had a date for my op it is the 23rd of Jan.
So now I must get my skates on and make some
Birthday cards for my grandchildren this month,
and I have a commission to do for Feb, so that 
will have to be done before my op.
So here is a start, with my eldest granddaughters.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Now the inside.


This is a 8"x8" size card.
I didn't have any brown A3 card to make this, so
I improvised by rubbing a bronze metallic rub ons
onto the edges of the black card to make it look
brown.
I copied some of my Heartfelt Burst of Splendor 
paper onto white card.
Now this wasn't the colour I wanted so I distressed
the edges with Wild Honey Distress Ink, and I also
did the same to the middle of the paper to give it
a more bronze look.
Then I used my bronze rub ons again all over the 
paper and the edges. 
This doesn't show up very well in the picture,
unfortunately as it looks really fab.
The flower is one I made with the Heartfelt 
Sunkissed Fleur Die, and the Ivy is a Creative
Expressions Stamp coloured in with water colour
pencils, and cut out.

Thank you again for your visit, and time.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty weekend.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Hi and welcome to my dear craft loving friends,
and visitors.
 Now don't faint it's me again after another break.
Still having problems with my neck and shoulders
if I do too much crafting or typing, but I am trying
to get my children's Christmas cards done in small
snaps of crafting that I can manage.

Thank you so much for all your get well wishes,
and comments.

I have a card today to enter into the Pixies 
Playground snippets challenge as I used some
snippets from my snippets box.

Now the inside.



This is a 5"x5" size card.
I distressed the edges of the card and paper 
Fire Brick Distress Ink
I made my ribbon wreath and added a stamped
sentiment in the center and inside the card.
If any of you would like the info of how to do
the ribbon weaving you will find it  HERE .

Thank you again for your visit and time at this
busy Season.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following

BABY BOY CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends and visitors.
May I say a big welcome to my newest follower,
and thank you for choosing to follow me. 
I do hope you come back and see what I'm up to
often.

I am so sorry I have been missing for a while.
I have had a problem that gave me trouble 
crafting and typing.
Still no sign of my operation on my eye yet.
To be honest I hope it's not till after Christmas
now, especially with this other problem I have
had.

Now today I have another Baby Boy card and
box.
This I made before I had my problem.
I think I can enter this into the playground as
the corners were cut out of snippets of card.

The inside.




Now the box.




This is a 8"x8" size card and box.
I have used the Joanna Sheen Baby Love Cd
for the topper and the papers.
I used a Promarker round the edges of the paper.
The larger doily is a Martha Stewart circle punch.
The flowers are made from the Di-namics 
plentiful petals die.
Then I used some snippets of card, out of my
snippets box for the corners.

Thank you again for your visit, and time at this
really busy time of year.
I do hope your are all keeping well and nearly
ready for the festive season.
I am really behind now with my children's 
Christmas cards.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.
