Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
The sun is shinning in my part of Kent today, so I do hope it is doing the same where ever you may live.
I am a happy bunny today as last night I made my first pop up box, as I have been wanting to make one for ages, but was to scared to try.
I don't know about you but I have to pluck up courage to do something I have never tried before, and I know that sounds silly, but it's just the way I am.
Mind you I use a Hougie Board to do all my measuring now as I am pants at measuring with a ruler, and the Hougie makes things so much simpler.
Today I have a card I made for a nieghbours Birthday.
This is a 8"x8" size card which by now you must know is my fave size card, as I am nearly always making them.
The doily, corners, and the Happy Birthday were cut out on my ScanNcut with the Tattered Lace USB.
The flowers were made from a roll of ribbon shaped leaves which you can purchase from the Ribbonbox.
Thank you again for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

The flowers are made from the Spellbinders Anemone Die.
The hearts are a Tonic Die.
Paper used is a Cuddly Buddly download.
Pearls on a string from Cuddly Buddly Crafts.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Well another weekend is upon us so I do hope you are doing something very nice.
Today I have a card made for my eldest sister and her hubby as their Anniversary is on the 9th of this month.
I went with a red theme as it's so near to Valentines Day.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I ran out of red card for this so I coloured white card red with red pigment ink, and Fired Brick DI.
The digi image of the jar was a freebie off the internet, and coloured with Promarkers, and then I edged the hearts with a black glitter Sakura Gelly Roll Pen.
The papers are a download from Cuddly Buddly Crafts.

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Sorry I wasn't around yesterday to comment, but I was looking after my little Great Grandson for my Granddaughter who needed to go to a funeral at Clacton, so she was away from very early in the morning, and I was so tired when I got home.
He was very good, but I am getting a little old in the tooth to keep my energy going into the evening, after an early start.
So I scheduled my DT post yesterday.
Needed to do some must needed housework today so I am a bit late with this Oldie for Friday.
So it's time to join Erika HERE with one of your older creations.
It doesn't have to be a card it can be anything you have posted before.
So here is a necklace, bracelet, and earrings my sister made me which I showed at least about 3 years ago.
My sister does make some very stunning jewellery, and I have lots she has made me.
Thank you for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

Just pop along to the blog to see my team mates fabulous creations.
So here is what I made for my part of the DT.
I'm afraid it's another Tissue Box.
I used silver linen pattern card.
The butterflies, and the die cut round the edge of the box are in a light brown Metalic Pearlised card by Dovecraft.
The pearls are actually brown not black as they look in the picture.
Chiffon flowers from the works.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
I do hope you can join in this fab challenge theme.

They do make me so happy that you like what I have created.
Today I have a card I made for my Son's Birthday tomorrow.
Now he is my youngest and becomes 45.
oooooooooo! that makes me feel sooooooooooo! old, but in my mind I still feel so young it's only my old bones that reminds me, and a lot of grey hair.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The papers are Cuddly Buddly downloaded digi papers.
The image is a Hunkydory one from the little book of decoupage.
I decoupaged the front horse.
I chose this image as my Son used to work as a IT Technical Support Manager for a firm that sent the horse racing links to betting shops.
He now works for the Banking industry.
The Happy Birthday paper was snippets left over from my Grandsons Birthday card so I will join the girls in the snippets playground to see what antics they are getting away with this week.
Thank you again for your visit.

I do hope you are enjoying your weekend so far, and the weather is being kind to you.
Now tomorrow is my Grandson's 17th Birthday, and I was stumped for a while what to put on his card, that I haven't used before.
Until I came across this digi image, and thought it quite appropriate for him as all young peeps like burgers.
I struggled with the colour for the bread bun, but hopefully you think it looks okay.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The digi image can be purchased from a site called From the Heart.
The papers are a download from Cuddly Buddly.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
A few weeks ago I won the
BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE
and as part of the win, I was invited to be a Guest Designer.
The challenge runs for a fortnight, and I chose the letter O For Over The Edge.
So here is what I came up with for my Over The Edge it's another Tissue Box as I do love making these.
These are so easy to make, and to think I was afraid to make them at one time.
I measure my tissue box, and then do my scoring on my Hougie Board.
This one measures 5" high 4and a half inches to one side and 4" on the other.
So I cut 2 A4 pieces of card down to 5" in height, and then I score half an inch for your gluing flap then 5" and then 9" and cut off what's left.
Glue together your flaps to make your box.
The lid will be 6 and half inches by 6 inches, and score at 1" around each side, and glue like the lid of a box.
Thank you so much for your visit and time.
I do hope you can join us for this current challenge.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
All went well with my DH hospital appointment yesterday.
He is making good progress, but has another hospital visit on Thursday for a heart monitor.
So on to my card, for this fortnights Butterfly Challenge a bit of late entry as it finishes in 10 hours time.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
I inked my background with DI, Peacock Feathers, Worn Lipstick, Milled Lavender, Cracked Pistachio.
I then stamped my pattern with Memento London Fog, and a Chloe stamp.
The butterfly is Penny Black stamp, and is also stamped with London Fog onto more card I coloured with DI.
I added some stickles to it, and some stamens for the antenna.
I used some coloured snippets of card for the die cuts, and the corners so I will be off to join the playground with this.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

It runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month HERE.
The lovely Scrappymo is in charge, and does a wonderful job too.
So here is my first entry for this year.
I don't know what you call this shape card, but I saw a similar one being demonstrated on C&C so I put my own twist on it.
The paper and the image were a freebie from a craft magazine a year or so ago.
Thank you so much for you visit.
I am off to the hospital with my DH today for his check up after his op.

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Today I have a Daughter Birthday card I made for my Daughter to give my Granddaughter on her Birthday.
Her Birthday was last Friday, if you remember I showed an Oldie I made on Friday.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I glued the snake skin paper to some snippets card, and cut out the boots from my old boot template which has a few boots and shoes on it.
My daughter bought my Granddaughter boots for her Birthday so I went with that theme.
The sparkly flowers my eldest sister gave me when I was in Wales, and I think they are jewellery flowers.
The sentiment label was a Tonic freebie from the Create and Craft Club where you just pay the postage.
Paper is a Cuddly Buddly download.
Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.

It is much appreciated.
Well it's Friday and time to join Erika HERE with an Oldie for Friday.
It's been a few weeks since I was able to join in.
Today is my eldest Granddaughter's Birthday, and she turns 29 today.
So here is a card I made her a long time ago.
This is my usual fave size 8"x8".
The doily at the back I embossed from a special touch mask, and cut out by hand with a craft knife.
Thank you again for you visit.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for all your really great comments on my tissue box.
I am always so pleased you like what I create.
Today I have another 50th Birthday card and box I made for my daughter in law.
Her Birthday was on the 30th of December hence the colours and style.
She loves her boots so I thought I would go with this theme.
This is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to fit it.
I used a embossing folder, and then rubbed over gold wax to highlight the embossing.
The boots I cut out of a template I have had for many years now on to brown snake skin paper that I glued to the top of some snippets card so I can join the girls at the snippets playground with this as I have been AWOL for a few weeks.
I wonder what antics they have been up to in my absence.
Trimmings on the box were cut out on my ScanNcut.
Thank you again for your visit, and time.
I do hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
I do hope you all had a wonderful
Christmas, and a Very Happy New Year to you all.
Sorry I have been away so long, but a lot has happened since I last posted.
On my return from seeing my sisters in Wales my hubby told me he had suffered a Mini Stroke a couple of days before my return.
He is okay now, but had to have a op to clear a blockage in the artery in his neck.
So things have been very hectic as he was in Kent and Canterbury Hospital which is quite a drive from where I live, and it is just a 2 lane A road to reach it, plus it was flooded in places with all this rain.
My sister coping well and living each day as it comes.
My other sister visits her everyday, as does her family.
My only problem is I don't think I will get back to see her because of my hubbies health issues.
So on a lighter note this is a card I made for my other sister's Birthday.
Sorry it came a bit dark, but she loved it.
This is a 8"x8" size card which I cut to this shape.
I glued some embossed dark brown pearlised card to the shape.
The leaf detail was cut out on my ScaNcut.
I added some pearl flower beads to the edges.
Thank you for your visit and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
I do hope you are all keeping well.
I am going to be away from my blog for a few weeks as my eldest sister is terminally ill, and I want to go to Wales to spend a few weeks with her.
So this will be my last post for a while.
I have been busy sorting all my Christmas buying before I go, and I had a few cards to make for family requests.
This is a Christmas card I made a few weeks ago.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used a Crafters Companion embossing folder, and sanded it down slightly.
Cut out the Merry Christmas, and the corners on my ScanNcut.
Thank you so much for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
