Hi and welcome to my all my very talented
friends, and visitors.
Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful
comments you make.
I very much appreciate them all, as I know time
is precious to all of us.
Well I don't think it's the internet that has been
playing up, but my old computer, as it's getting
on now just like me, and as it's a iMac so I need
a windfall to buy a new one as I love my wonderful big screen as it helps with my eyes.
Well enough of my woes on to today's card.
This is a 6"x6" size card, which I cut into this
shape with the Spellbinders Labels 1 Die.
The image is a LOTV one, and coloured in with
Chameleon pens.
Still trying to get used to them.
Papers printed from the Tumble Ted CD.
Not put any sentiment on it as it's not for anyone
in particular.
Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
I am still having a few probs with my internet,
and it's driving me mad when I try and comment.
This seems to be an intermittent fault so lets hope
it gets sorted soon.
Anyway I do hope you are all enjoying your
weekend, and the weather is being kind to you.
Today I have a card I made especially for the
Butterfly Challenge.
The letter involved with this challenge is Y for
Yarn so here is my entry.
This is a 6"x6" easel card.
The shaped card was one I bought many moons
ago from Kanban.
I glued 2 together to make it sturdy for an easel.
I then covered it with paper.
I used a snippet of card, and silver yarn to
create the design, so I'm off to the snippets playground to join my playground pals as well.
Butterflies were bought for me by my sister.
Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful
comments you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

Flowers, and it's coloured in with Promarkers.
Thank you for your visit, and time.
I really do appreciate all your wonderful comments you make.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
The paper is Dovecraft 8x8, and I decoupaged
some of the items on it.

So here is mine for this week.
I first posted this in November 2013.
This is a 8"x8" size card, and box I made for a
Golden Wedding Anniversary.
You may have seen this design before as I have
used it quite few times, but it always has
something slightly different in it, and I love how
it turns out.
Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful
comments you make.
I very much appreciate every one.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
I am sorry I have been missing for a few days,
but I had a big order for cards for family members,
and I am not sleeping too well at the moment, so
after a few hours crafting I get tuckered out, and
the days seem to be getting shorter or is it just me
getting older.
Well I managed in between making the family
cards to make this one that fits 3 challenges so
I do hope you like my idea, I tried to make it
look like a picture on a living room wall.
Not sure if I succeeded though.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
The NBUS items used are the papers, and the
stamps to create the snowy scene.
The arch picture frame is to comply with the
Butterfly Challenge.
Snippets used on this are the card I stamped on,
the gold card for the center of the papers, and the
bronze, and cream card for the arches.
I used some acetate on the picture frame too
which doesn't show up on the photo.
Thank you for your visit, and precious time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Design Team.
So thank you Wendy for choosing me as one of
your new DT members.
Today is the start of a new challenge over at the
MAWTT and it is the turn of the B Team, of
which I am now designing with my team mates.
The theme is A CUTE ANIMAL.
So here is what I came up with.
This is a 8"x8" size card.

I very much appreciate your time spent leaving
me such wonderful comments.
Well tomorrow is my sister's husbands Birthday,
and I was trying to think of what to put on his
card this year, and suddenly thought he lives in South Wales, and is a big fan of anything Welsh
so here is what I came up with.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The backing paper I made from the Welsh flag
on my 3D 2 CD.
I cut out his name in 2 colours and off set them
slightly.
Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
I would like to welcome my newest follower to
my blog, and thank you so much for choosing to
follow me, I do hope you manage to visit as
often as you can manage it.
I do hope you have all enjoyed the Bank Holiday
in spite of the dreadful weather we are having.
Sorry I have been missing again, but I have been
having a wonderful weekend with my family.
We had open house at mine on Saturday, and my
DH cooked curries, and I baked for 12 grown ups
and 5 children, and this is just part of our family,
as some were on holiday, and some live too far
away to attend.
So yesterday was spent getting over all the work
involved, and all the cleaning too.
I can tell you we were both too wacked to do it
on Saturday night, but it was great, to all get
together, and enjoy each others company, it was
well worth all the work involved too.
So on to my Snippets Card for this week, so I
can join in the antics at the Playground with my
dear friends.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
Paper is Cuddly Buddly download.
My snippets are the Hunkydory image, and
sentiment, which were left over from a
freebie from a craft magazine, and the lime
green, and pink die cuts which were cut out
from a XCut Die I bid for and won on EBay,
and I can tell it was a bargain at £2.49.
I decided to edge the image with the die cuts
as I thought it looked nice.
Thank you so much for your visit.
I really do appreciate your time, and the
wonderful comments made.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I didn't get to mind my Grand Children yesterday
as I was not well when I got up.
So they went to their clubs they usually go to
when Mum, and Dad are working.
As the day moved on I felt much better thank
goodness.
Today is the start of the Rudolf Challenge over

This runs from the 25th of the month to the end
of the month, and it's a great way to get some of
your Christmas Cards done early.
So here is my entry.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used a black A3 card to make my card. and
layered it with Creative Expressions Vintage
Gold card.
My rose is one I made a few years ago out of
a old damaged book.
The holly die is a Sheena Douglass one which
I cut out in black, and gold.

Thank you soooooo! much for patience with my

I shall try, and get round to most of it tonight, and
tomorrow night as I have to look after my 2
Grand Children tomorrow.
No baking though as Mum says they will all be
getting fat if we keep making such delicious cakes.
Yesterday was very busy, as the fete was from
12pm to 4pm, and then afterwards my daughter
had invited us to a barbecue at her house.
So I was exhausted when we arrived home.
Now on Tuesday it's the Rudolf Challenge again
and this snippets card came from the waste of
what I made for that challenge.
So I am so pleased I can join in the antics at the
playground this week with it.
This is a A5 size card.
Cream base card.
Black, and Creative Expressions Vintage Gold
card stock.

embossed with old gold embossing powder.

I have been very busy baking, and making things
for a little summer fete being held on Saturday
where I live.
So excuse me if I don't get round to commenting
much for a few days.
Now as I have been so busy I can't believe it's

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
I am sorry I have been missing for a week, but I
had family come to stay from up north.
I was hoping to get in a post before my family
arrived so I could let you know, but time just
flew by as usual, and I just couldn't manage it.
We had a lovely week, and it was so good to see
them.
The only problem was we had rain for 3 days
of that week, and a dreadful storm the one day
with thunder and lighting, and lots of heavy rain.
I was asked by my daughter to make my usual
wedding set for a wedding she was going to.
So here it is the bridesmaids were wearing Teal
hence the Teal as I do like to incorporate it into
my creation.
This is a 8"x8" size card, box, and bag to fit.
I used aTeresa Collins embossing folder on
Centura White Pearl card.
The Teal card is from Creative Expressions.
I made the Roses, and Leaves.
I used The Enchanted Escapes Couture Dies
for the sentiments.
The wedding couple are Tattered Lace, and the
Mr and Mrs is a Tonic Die
Thank you for your visit, and comments.
I very much appreciate everyone you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather
we are having, and if the weather is not so nice
where you live perhaps you should move to my
neck of the wood, as we always experience
wonderful weather.
I am still hoping for rain as we hardly ever get
any, and my water butt is empty yet again.
Well enough of my woes, and here is my card.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I started by embossing some Tattered Lace
pearlised paper with a unnamed mask I bought
at the NEC 2 years ago.
I then sponged Peacock Feathers DI on the embossed area.
Cut out the heart with a Tonic Die, and then I used a Tattered Lace Chantilly Rose border die,
round the edge of the heart.
The flowers are made from a die with no name
I bid for and won on EBay.
I think they are Gerber Daisies.
Thank you for your visit, and time.
I very much appreciate it.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends,
and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the
wonderful comments you make.
I love to read everyone, and am so pleased that you have visited me.
Now the Butterfly Challenge No 36 is for you
to use Washi Tape on your entry.
Well can you guess in amongst all my stash I
didn't have any Washi Tape shock horror.
So as it's the last few days before the challenge
finishes, and Ashford in Kent doesn't have a
craft shop anymore I started to panic, and
thought I wouldn't be able to join the challenge
this time, but good old supermarket
Sainsbury's had some in their stationery
department.
So here is what I made.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
I used DI in Milled Lavender, Peacock Feathers,
Yellow Pan Pastel, and a Chalk Box ink in a
peach shade dabbed on white card with a sponge.
Then I sprayed it with a Crafters Companion
Spray and Sparkle Pearl Diamond.
The Washi Tape is behind the butterfly, and I
attached some to some snippets card, and cut
out the corners, and flowers.
My inside circles is a die I won on Bibiana's
Spanish blog when Memory Box were showing
their Autumn Collection.
This is a Halloween Die, but I snipped out the
Halloween parts, and added a circle to the back.
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Today I have a Christmas card I made.
The colours are quite unusual for a Christmas
card so I hope you like it.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The image is from the Squeeze Cards Christmas
Cottage Delights CD.
I have used Cosmic shimmer White pva glue
dots round the edge.
The snowy bits are done with Cosmic Shimmer
Iced Snow.
The Happy Christmas die cut was a freebie
from a craft magazine, and I offset it slightly in
the 2 colours.
Thank you for your visit, and I hope you all
have a wonderful weekend.

Today I am showing you a Baby Blanket I was
asked to make by a friend for her neighbour
who was having her first baby after many years
of marriage.
I can't tell you what pattern this was from, as I
made it up my self.
She wanted all those colours as they didn't know
whether it was a girl or boy.
This was the second one I made her as she had
the first for her granddaughter a couple of
years before.
Thank you for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

This is a kit from the Pink Gem Website, and I have added my little touches to it, in the form of
flowers, bows, and of course a butterfly.
This is her on her Birthday with her cake.
We were all out for a meal to celebrate her
Birthday.
It is tradition the Caterpillar cake as her mother
had one every year for her Birthday, and still

So she is carrying on the tradition with her
