Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Well I'm back form my sisters in Wales.
I had a wonderful time at the NEC and bought lots
of craft goodies that I especially wanted.
I was limited to what I could bring back though
as I have to travel back form Wales by coach, so
I couldn't bring any of the lovely card they had.
As it was my suitcase weighed a ton.
Today I have an exploding box I made for Mrs A
butterfly challenge, I also used snippets from my
snippets box for the die cuts so I can join the
playground too.

I used the Cupcakecrafting CD Floral Delights
by Andrew Hull, for the template and flowered
print on the card.
I used a lovely yellow silk flower on top and in
the center.
The leaves are what I bought at the NEC on a
ribbon.
I am sorry if I have missed visiting any of you
since coming home, but my top of my spine is
playing up and I am limited to how much typing
I can do till I am in a lot of pain.
Thank you again for your time and visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter the following challenges.

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
A big welcome to my newest follower, and thank
you for choosing to follow me.
I do hope to see you visiting me quite often to see
what I am creating.
Sorry I have been missing for a few days, but I
have been very busy, as it's my Grandson's 10
Birthday on Tuesday, so I have been busy baking,
looking after him, and his sister while their parents
went out Birthday present shopping.
I have also had to make his card which I was
quite late making, and a card for our keyboard
player in our little singing group.
So I will stop waffling on, and show you the
quick card I made for our keyboard player.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
This card is 7"x7" in size.
I used an old Hunkydory topper and card to
make this.
I did my usual thing of copying the card to
create the inside.
I nearly forgot to say I had a happy accident while
making this card. I wanted to use my cosmic shimmer gold glue dots but they were so old they
wouldn't go into dots, so I just brushed the deges
of the card with it instead, and got that lovely
gold effect.
I used some of my snippets out of my snippets
box for the brown die cut underneath the image,
and inside the card.
Thank you again for your time, and visit, and
also all your wonderful comments.
I will be round to visit your blogs tonight after
my singing practice this afternoon, that's if I'm
not too tired, as I am getting on and will turn
65 later this week. lol.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

friends ,and visitors.
A big welcome to my newest follower, and thank
you for choosing to follow me.
I do hope you pop back often to see what I am
posting.
I was overwhelmed by you wonderful comments
on my last 2 creations.
It was well worth all the hard work creating that
word book.
I forgot to say I didn't use a book template that
you are able to buy, I made mine with some
large Alphabet templates I own, and I did all
the measurements for this my self, and cut out
the letters by hand, as someone had asked about
it.
I made 7 of these such books in different colours
about 4 years ago for my children for Christmas,
but in my excitement I forgot to photograph them.
Now today I have a card I have made for the 2nd
butterfly challenge for this fortnight which you
will find HERE .
In this fortnights challenge you have to use 3 bs
Butterfly, Button, and a Bow, so here is my attempt.

me, as I know time is precious to all of us.
For my few loyal friends who visit nearly every time I post something, Thank You from the bottom of my heart for your very loyal support, because

and on the 25th of every month over at Sarns
blog which you will find HERE
This runs till the 28th of the month, and you
need to create 2 Christmas creations to enter.

made. YAY this has to be a winner in my book,
as I leave my cards till the last minute every
year. lol.

years ago.

from a Debbie Moore CD called The Crackerbox
Mice.
I do love the image of that mouse with the full
tum after eating all that figgy pud. lol.

over the festive season. lol.

Hi and welcome to my blog, all my craft loving
friends, and visitors.
Well here we are again it's the weekend, I do
hope you are all enjoying the Sunshine where
ever you may live.
It is wonderful in my part of Kent, lots of spring
flowers poking their heads out of my pots.
So maybe spring is on it's way, but don't hold
your breath all could change as it snowed in
late March last year.
Oh no I have said the S word. lol.
Thank you for all your really great comments
on my box.
Today I have a shabby chic card, now I don't
very often make one of these, but I was watching
C and C last week, as me and hubby do every
morning while drinking our first cup of tea, and
we saw Nancy demonstrating this lovely CD.
So I was tempted into buying it, and here is
the result.
 |
| CLICK TO ENLARGE. |
Now the inside.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The papers and the image are from the My Craft
Studio Shabby CDs.
I distressed the edges with scissors as Nancy did,
as I haven't a distress tool.
I decoupaged the image and the flowers, then I
added some peach leaves, and some die cut bitty
blossoms made with a contrast printed card.
I then added some string pearls from my stash,
and lastly a stick pin I made last year.
I do hope you like my effort.
Thank you again for sparing your precious
time to visit me.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
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.

Majestic Blossoms Die.
The Ivy is a Creative Expressions Stamp, and I
coloured it with water colour pencils and cut it out.
