Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
I do hope you are having a good BH weekend,
and the weather has been kind to you.
Thank you kindly for all your comments on my
work, I very much appreciate every one.
Now today starts the August Rudolf challenge.
which runs from the 25th of the month to the
end of the month.
You need to make 2 Christmas Cards to join in.
I had a light bulb moment about 3 days before
this challenge, while sitting on the bed enjoying
my first cuppa of the morning.
My Son about 2 years ago bought me a Pandora
bracelet, and ever since my daughter and my
granddaughter have bought me a charm to go
on it.
So anyone who collects these knows you get a
lovely box inside a lovely bag.
Well I decided to use the bag to house 6 little
cards.
So here is my entry to the challenge.
The size of the cards is just under 5"x5"
I used a Poinsettia wooden stamp for the
background paper, and Fired Brick Distress
Ink.
I used Pine Needles Distress Ink to stamp
the Poinsettias, and coloured them in with the
Fired Brick Distress Ink and a brush.
The sentiment I'm sure you know is an LOTV
one.
I used some snippets from my snippets box to
stamp some of these.
Thank you again for your precious time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following

Thank you for your continued interest in my
work, and I do love to read all your wonderful
comments that you make.
Today I have a card I made for my Grandson who
lives in Wales.
His Birthday was the 29th July the same day as
my little great granddaughter Ellie.
This is a 8"x8" size card made from A3 PMD
card.
The paper is from the Robert Addams CD
Vintage Transport.
I used craft card and embossed it with my
embossing folder that came with my E bosser.
Thank you again for your visit and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Birthday last year.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The digi image is a Mo Manning one coloured
in with Promarkers.
The papers are Kaisercraft.
Thank you again for your visit and precious time.

Before I go any further I need to welcome my

being interested in my work.
I do hope you continue to pop back whenever

Thank you sooooooooo! much to all my wonderful, and talented followers who visit me

You are all so very kind, and make such fab
comments on my work, which makes me a very happy bunny.
Now onto my post for today I was commissioned
to make this wedding card and box, for a lady
that works with my daughter.
You might remember my A4 box and card for
the members of staff to send their wedding
greetings, well this one went to the same couple.
This is a 8"x8" size card and box to fit.
I used the Sue Wilson Art Deco Fanfare
embossing folder, and coloured the folder with
blue ink before embossing my pearl card to give
it a blue tint.
The roses I also coloured the edges with blue
ink to match.
The roses are I think from the Range, not sure
as my sister in Wales bought them for me.
I used some of my snippets pearl card to die cut
the corners, so I will be popping over to the playground with this.
Thank you again for your time, and visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my friends and visitors.
My word hasn't this week gone so fast, it seems
a lot faster than usual.
I am so sorry I have been a bad blogger, and not
posted anything for just over a week.
I have been looking after my 2 little great granddaughters, the first part of the week, and then I had family staying later in the week.
So big apologies for not visiting you for this past week.
My youngest Son, his wife, and my 2 grandchildren moved house 2 weeks ago.
So here is the card I made them.
This is a 8"x8" size card made from A3 PMD
white card.
The papers are printed from the Crafters Companion CD Cute Companions Volume 1.
Now I printed these for another card, the mint
green one, I posted a couple of weeks ago, but
they were too blue for that card.
So these must be classed as Snippets to so I'm
off to join the playground with this.
The sentiment is from a book of papers I bought.
Thank you for your time and wonderful comments.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following

Hi and a very warm welcome to everyone that
stops here for a visit.
I am so very grateful for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
Today I am showing you a wedding card my
daughter asked me to make for a work colleague,
who was getting married.
Now she wanted an A4 size so everyone of the
staff could sign it.
Now those of you that know me, know I love
to incorporate the colour that the bridesmaids
are wearing in my cards.
So here is what I came up with.
I thought as there were a lot of people to sign
it, I would put DL cards inside for everyone to
sign, and that way it wouldn't spoil the card.
Now the box.
This is a A4 size card made out of Centura Snow
White Pearl A3 card.
I used my embossing folder that came with the
EBosser.
I edged all the card with blue ink.
The wedding couple are from a copyright free
book I have, and I printed them onto Centrura
Pearl card, and decoupaged them too.
I decorated her dress with a few sequins from
my stash.
Thank you again for your visit and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to my part of blog land, all my
craft loving friends, and visitors.
Than you kindly for your visit, wonderful comments, and your precious time.
Now I have been having a lot of trouble making
roses lately, and while I was looking at Patricia's
blog, last week she showed some magnificent
Roses she had made, so I thought I would invest
in the same die.
You can find her blog HERE and her beautiful Roses.
Here is what I came up with, so thank you
Patricia for the inspiration.
This is a 8"x8" size card, made from A3 PMD
card.
The Rose is made with the Susan's Garden large
Roes Die.
My design behind the rose is the heart from
Tattered Lace Chantilly Heart Corner.
I used some white snippets from my snippets
box for some of the die cuts.
So I will join the playground with this.
Thank you again for your time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
I am really glad you popped by and I love to
read your wonderful comments.
Now since I started blogging a few years ago, I
have made so many friends in various parts of
the world, and I also communicate with a few
through private emails.
All this is possible with our wonderful technology
that we sometimes take for granted.
I don't know about you but I never touched a
computer till I started to make cards.
Now my DH was always on the computer, and
so was my children, but being 65 years young,
we never had computers at school, like they do now.
So what I have learnt has been with the help of
my DH, and playing around with my computer.
I am quite proud of myself, setting up my blog,
as I had no idea what to do, and my DH was
not sure either so I soldiered on, and so glad I
did, otherwise I would not have all of you as
my friends.
Sorry if Ive waffled on too much, just wanted
to thank all of you for you wonderful friendship.
So to my card this one I made for my Grandson
who is now in his twenties.
Sorry about the stamping as I used some snippets
card from my box and I used Distress Ink, and
the card was wrong for that type of ink and bled
a little.
This is a 8"x8" size card, made from A3 PMD
card.
I decided to use my embossing folder that came
with my EBosser and use it sideways on the
card.
Now as many of my regular friends, and visitors
to my blog know I don't very often make CAS
cards, as I can't stop my self putting just one
more item on it. lol.
Thank you again for your time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and to everyone that visits me, and my very loyal craft loving friends.
Thank your for sparing your time, and the wonderful comments you make on my work.
Now today I have a card I made for my daughter
to give to her work colleague and friend.
Not many die cuts on this one for a change.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
Now I was sorting out some old card I had, and
came across this lovely mint green card, that I
had bought from The Paper Mill Shop, before it
closed down.
It was a very thick card I would say about 350gsm with slight mottled shine to it.
So now I was stuck what to go with it, and I
printed off a sheet of paper from my Crafters
Companion CD Cute Companions, now this was
slightly to turquoise for the colour card so I
tried coping it on my printer, and it came out
just the shade of mint green I wanted luckily.
The middle flower in the center was bought at
the NEC on ribbon with string you pull.
You will find them HERE if your interested.
My corners were cut out of what would have
gone into the snippets box so I wonder if I
could be cheeky and join in the playground,
as strictly, my ribbon flower was made from snippets left over.
Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and a very warm welcome to everyone that
stops here to see what I have created.
Well it's the weekend again and I do so hope
you are all having lovely weather in your part
of the country.
My card today is my one I made for Ellie's
Birthday last Tuesday.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used a Hunkydory image decoupaged for the
front as I thought it looked like Ellie.
I used some die cut snippets cut out for another
project and not used round the image.
The paper is from Crafters Companion CD
printed onto pearlised card.
Thank you for your time and the wonderful
comments that you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I think this fits the bill for the Butterfly Challenge
this time around, as Mrs A would like to see a
summery theme and butterflies.
This is a A4 size card.
The image and patterned card is from Hunkydory.
The pink mirri card is from C and C.

Summertime Butterflies.
Hi to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and comments.
I really do appreciate everyone that you make.
My granddaughter and my little great granddaughter's were bridesmaids on Saturday,
at my granddaughters best friends wedding.
Now the bridesmaids were wearing yellow, so I
like to incorporate that colour into my wedding
cards.
So today I am showing the card I made for the
happy occasion.
The card is a 8"x8" size and box.
I used ivory pearlised card, and coloured my
card yellow with Pan Pastel.
I used a mask I have used before and coloured
the embossed detail yellow through the mask.
Now I used some snippets out of my snippets
box for some of the die cuts so I will be off
to collect the keys to the playground with this.
Thank you again for your visit and tome.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to my blog all my friends and
visitors.
Sorry I haven't been visiting your blogs lately,
but I have had a mountain of family Birthdays,
Anniversaries, Wedding, and commissions to
finish, and in between my challenges I like to
support, and as you all know I take my crafting easy these days in case of my spine probs coming back.
Phew I only have my little great granddaughter's
to do know and I'm back to normal, that's if I know what is normal. lol.
Talking about challenges I suddenly realized it
time again for the Rudolf Challenge.
So here is a very quick 2 makes for this challenge.
Now the idea if anyone wants to join in is to
make 2 Christmas cards for the challenge over
at Sarns lovely blog.
That way you get a few made before the
Christmas rush.
Now these took me about an hour to make, so they were quickies.
These are A6 in size.
Printed from the CD Squeeze Cards Christmas
Furry Friends.
These squeeze flat to go in your envelope.
Thank you for continuing to support my blog,
and all the wonderful comments you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Rudolf Day July 2014.
Hi and welcome to my blog everyone that visits me.
Thank you for all your wonderful comments and
your time.
Started back with my little singing group this week, and yesterday we were singing to an over
sixties group, and boy was it hot weather, I was
melting when I got home and good for nothing.
Here is my entry into the butterfly challenge for
this fortnight.
Mrs A that runs the challenge wanted to see
spots and stripes as well as your butterfly.
So hear is my entry.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
The papers are Dovecraft Back to Basics.
I stamped some small leaves around the
sentiment with Distress Ink.
Sorry about the state of the cosmic shimmer glue
dots, mine are getting a bit old, just like me.
Nearly forgot to say I have used some snippets in
this, so I will join the playground again this week.
Thank you again for your visit.

Hi and welcome to my blog, everyone that visits.
Well I can't believe it's a week since I posted last.
I have been very busy making some cards for
family Birthdays, and some orders that I have to
finish, and in between I made some snippets boxes, to be shown over the coming weeks.
So here is the first one.
This is a box that is just under 4" square.
I made this from what is left over from my
big boxes that I make for 8" cards.
The lace was also snippets left over form
another project.
The leaves were made from snippets of card too,
which I used on my last card.
I coloured the card for the box with Pan Pastels.
Thank you again for your visit and your
wonderful comments.
I do hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi to all my friends and visitors.
Thank you soooooo! much for visiting me and all
the wonderful comments you make.
I do hope you are all having a great weekend.
The sun is shinning in my part of Kent, and I do
hope it's doing the same where ever you live.
My card today is for my granddaughter and her
hubby, it's their 2nd Anniversary tomorrow.
Now her fav colour is powder blue, so as I didn't
have powder blue this is the nearest I could make
it with inks.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I coloured the edges of the card with a Promarker.
I inked my embossing folder with Tumbled Glass
Distress Ink, and then used Centura White Pearl
Card.
I made my flower with the Susan's Garden
Poinsettia Sizzix Die, now I like to get more
than one style from my all my dies.
I used gold micro beads for the center of the flower.
I used lots of my snippets to make the flower,
and some of my die cuts, so I'm off to collect
the keys to the playground with this.
Thank you again for your visit, and precious
time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to my little crafty corner.
Thank you sooooooo! much for all your wonderful comments on my last card.
I really do appreciate every one.
I have stopped feeling so sorry for myself as there
are poor people out there far worse off than me.
So I gave myself a good telling off, and that did
the trick.
My card today is for my Sister and Brother in Laws Anniversary.
I can safely show it as they don't have the internet.
Now they have just bought a static caravan, sited
at the Gower, Nr Swansea, and I thought this
image just right for them.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The caravan image is from the Hunkydory
Decoupage Pad.
The papers were printed from an old Crafters
Companion CD.
I cut the bunting myself as I don't have a die
for this.
Heart shaped buttons from The Works.
I used quite a few snippets in this to stamp my
sentiment on, and the circle die cuts I cut out
for another project and didn't use them.
So I'm off to get the keys to the playground, and
enter their challenge.
Thank you again for your visit, and time.

Hi and welcome to everyone that visits me.
Sorry I have been missing for a week, was feeling a bit down as my DH and I are no longer allowed
to drive, and as we have always had our own car,
this has been quite a blow for us.
Also had a few twinges in my top of my spine so
I thought I had better take things easy for a while.
My card today is for the butterfly challenge.
The challenge rules this fortnight are for one
layer and a butterfly.
Not really happy with what I have created, but
thought it's better than no entry.
I have used mica powders to colour this card.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
Thank you again for your visit and comments.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi to everyone that visits me.
Thank you for your visit, and if you decide to
leave me a comment I am very grateful.
Still trying to play catch up on lots of my
household jobs I couldn't do while I had my
slipped disc.
I also have lots of Birthdays, Anniversaries, and
commissions for this month.
I really need to get my skates on or they won't
get finished in time.
Just hope Mr Mojo doesn't decide to have a
walkabout.
Today is my Daughter's Birthday, and she loves
tulips so I decided to use this theme for her
card.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I didn't have enough peach pearlised card so
inked some ivory with Wild Honey Distress
Ink.
I printed the lovely tulip paper onto the same
ivory pearlised card from my Cupcakecrafting
CD Floral Delights, by Andrew Hull.
I used my Di-namics Dizzy Doily die and put
one on top of the other to give this pattern.
I really like how this die has a completely
different design when one is put on top of the
other and twisted.
Thank you again for visit and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to my blog.
I do hope you are all having a great weekend.
Thank you for your visit, and time.
I very much appreciate every visit and comment
made.
Today I have a Wedding Card and Box I made
for my niece to take to a wedding she was going
to on Saturday.
Now the box.
This is a 8"x8" size card and box to fit it.
I used the Sue Wilson Embossing Folder Art
Deco Fanfare.
This is lovely as you can use both sides as they
are both lovely.
The heart shaped dies are Tonic.
Now I usually like to use the bridesmaids
colours in my wedding cards, but as my niece
didn't know I went with silver.
I used up some of my snippets on some of my
die cuts so I will join the playground with this.
Thank you again for your visit.

May I say thank you also for all your wonderful

Today I am posting my entries into the Rudolf
Challenge for June over at Sarns lovely blog.
These are both 8"x8" size cards.
I used the Debbi Moore Penguin Pals CD for
the images and papers.
I stamped the verses inside the cards, and on the
front of the pink one, I heat embossed it with
Silver Pearl Embossing Powder.

Addams CD Vintage Transport.
I have run out of red and navy card stock so again I coloured the card with my Promarkers.
I also used some of my white snippets card for
round the image and the inside, so I'm off to the

this.

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Thank you for your continued support of my blog.
I really do appreciate you giving up your time for
this visit.
Tomorrow is my Dear Hubbies Birthday so I can
safely show his Birthday Card I made as I know he won't be looking at my blog till tomorrow.
Now he has reached the wonderful age of 75, and
when he was a young man he was a fireman on a
Steam Engine of a train, so I thought this topper
was ideal for this years card.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The topper is a Hunkydory Decoupage one.
The papers printed from a Robert Addams CD
Vintage Transport.
I cut out some of the train tickets decoupaged
them.
The letters are from an XCut Die.
Now I used lots of snippets from my snippets
box for stamping my sentiment on and my die
cuts, so I am off to the playground with this.
Thank you again for your visit.
