Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you for your visit, and time.
Well my family has gone back home now, and I do love their visits, but it is always too short.
They no sooner arrive, and their off again, but we had a good weekend as it was my Granddaughter's engagement party on Saturday, and we had a great time celebrating it.
So today is my Son's Birthday, and after trying to think of what to put on his card I suddenly thought of this.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The image was a freebie off the internet.
I made the border print out of the image on my 3D Decoupage CD.
I also made him some cupcakes with the same colour van on it, but forgot to photograph them, but here are some I made for my Granddaughter's engagement party.
Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and I do very much appreciate your wonderful comments.
Today I have a card I made for my Granddaughter's 17th Birthday.
Now those of you that have known me for a while will remember her brother turned 17 3 years ago and was bought a car for his Birthday lucky young man.
So now it's his sister's turn to turn 17,and she got bought a cream mini.
Good job they only have 2 children otherwise it would cost them the earth.
So here is her card I made her.
This card is a 8"x8" size.
The pink mini image is one I bought from C&C when they first started broadcasting so it's very old.
I made the backing paper out of my 3D Decoupage CD again.
Thank you again for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
I thought as it's the Allsorts Challenge Blogs 7th Birthday this week I would make them this card yesterday.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
Now I used to have Robert Adams CD with a Allsorts paper on, but unfortunately it has stopped working.
So I found this Allsorts image on the internet.
Will be using this card for my BIL as he loves Allsorts.
I have family staying for the Bank Holiday weekend so excuse me if I don't get around your blogs much.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
It's my first time to host our challenge over at the
MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES
So I have chosen the theme of An Age Related Sentiment.
So please try and join us in this challenge.
You can find my Team B friends lovely creations over on our challenge blog.
So here is mine for this challenge it's a card my neighbour asked me to make for her daughter's Anniversary.
This is a 8"x8" size card, and a Box I made too fit it.
The heart is a Tonic Die.
The flowers are a Tattered Lace Die.
I added some pearly items for the corners, and some glittery hearts also.
Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Well we have arrived at the 25th of the month yet again, and it's time to post the Rudolf Challenge card for this month.
Joining in this wonderful challenge gets some of your Christmas cards made earlier than you would normally do.
The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month over on Srappymo's Blog.
So feel free to join this great challenge.
My card is a bit out of my comfort zone.
Those of you may know I won Mary H's candy, and in my wonderful goodies she provided was this glorious Penny Black stamp.
I tried to follow the colouring on the photo of the stamp as best as I could.
So here is what I made with it.
This is a 6"x7" size card.
I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
I then coloured it with Derwent Water Colouring Pencils on water colour card.
I added some stickles, and white pen for the snow drops.
I don't know how I did it, but I dropped a bit of red colour on the right hand side, and didn't have time to do it again.
So hopefully you think it's okay.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
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.
Now this week sees the 7th Birthday of the Allsorts Challenge Blog, and they want you to enter a card with Happy Birthday on.
I don't very often join this challenge as I usually don't have a card made that fits the challenge theme, but I have had a lot of family Birthdays this month so I have lots to choose from.
So I decided to go with this one which was for my Stepsons Birthday yesterday.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The watch image is from CraftUprint, and I made the backing paper with my 3D Decoupage CD.
I used some acetate for the glass of the watch.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing for a while, but I have not been well, and trying to get my meds sorted has been a nightmare.
Hopefully they are sorted now until the next time.
My card today is for the Butterfly Challenge, and this time around it is A for aperture , and or Apricot.
So here is my entry.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
I used some Matt Mirri for the base layer, and then some double sided colour card which has Apricot on the one side, and Peach on the other.
The aperture is a Sue Wilson Die.
The butterfly I won on a recent win on the Butterfly Challenge.
It is only the top layer, and I drew around it to make the solid base.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to another Friday Oldie with ERIKA HERE.
It's all just for fun, but delightful way to show something you have made earlier in you crafting life.
I can't believe how quick these Fridays come around, or is just me slowing down to a snails pace.
I am having a few probs with meds which makes me feel very tired and sleepy all the time so it's taking me a lot longer to get everything done, but the doctor doesn't want to change them as they are the 4th lot I have tried, and the sleepy is not as bad as some of the other side effects I have had.
So onto my Oldie for this week, I am not sure if I have shown this before so excuse me if I have.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The image is from the Pink Gem Website, and coloured with Promarkers, and Flexmarkers.
Papers are from Papermania Heather Collection.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Today I have a card I made for my daughter to give her Granddaughter as it was her Birthday on the 10th.
Now my little Great Granddaughter does gymnastics, and also goes to running classes as she is quite a fast runner, and loves to run so her parents put her into training classes.
I searched the digi picture sites till I found the image I put on this card.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I bought the digi image from the Digi Stamp Boutique and coloured her in with Promarkers.
Then I photographed the image and made the backing paper to match on my 3D 2 Decoupage CD.
I inked the edge of the paper,and the image with Colour Cloud Rose Blush Ink.
Now those of you with a keen eye will notice I put the paper on upside down silly me, but it still looks okay I think.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and your precious time commenting on my work.
I very much appreciate each and every one.
Today I have my entry into the Butterfly Challenge No 54 which is R for Recycle, and or Ruby Red.
Now I had been contemplating on this one, and suddenly today I thought of what I could do.
So I recycled a bag you get your Pandora purchases in.
The second picture is so you can see the Rose I made some time ago a little easier.
This bag is about just over 6"x6" in size.
I started by measuring the bag, now don't laugh as I am not very good with measurements, as I have mentioned before.
I cut 2 pieces of red card just under 6"x 6" in size.
The white card was snippets left over from a A3 size of card that I had cut down for another project.
I inked the edges of the card with Fired Brick DI, and then I spritzed the card with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists in red.
I stamped a butterfly with the DI, and added some dots with a Promarker.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Well I can't believe it's Friday again, and time to join ERIKA with your Oldie for Friday HERE.
Just post something you have made before on your blog, and comment on Erika's, and she will in turn comment on yours.
It's all just for fun, but a super way to show your new followers what you have done in the past.
So here is mine for this week.
On Tuesday my Great Granddaughter will be 7years of age so this is what I made her last year.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
Now I changed my computer since making this, and for some reason I can't find the inside view of the card.
The image is an already coloured one from the Pink Gem website.
I found the bedroom scene on a Crafters Companion CD.
I decoupaged the image the chest of drawers, the sheet on the bed, and the picture on the wall.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
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.
I really do appreciate every one.
A few of you mentioned using my last card again, but I unfortunately didn't have it back from my sister before she passed away, and don't like to bother my BIL at this sad time.
So onto a happier note, today I have a card I made for my Stepson, and his wife's 3rd Anniversary.
They have been together for 10 years, but only married 3 years ago.
I know her fave colour is purple so this what I came up with.
This is a 8"x7" size card.
I again drew around the largest of the Sue Wilson's Pierced Rectangles Die, and cut out my base card.
I then layered up with the die, and cut out a aperture which I used a snippet of card and double sided stick sheet, and added some Cosmic Shimmer Glacier Ice Glitter.
I also added some corner die cuts to each corner inside the aperture.
The flower is the same die as yesterday's flowers just pinched the flower petals the other way to give a type of Lily looking flower.
The button on the bow is purple, but it looks black in the picture.
Cut the sentiment banner by hand.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
I do hope you enjoyed your Bank Holiday weekend.
We had family visits, and that is always very nice.
Today I have a Wedding Card and Box I made for my Sister's granddaughter, but the wedding never took place.
This is a 8"x8" size card and box I made to fit.
The colour scheme I was given was Salmon Pink, Ivory, and Navy.
I didn't have the right colour card for the Salmon Pink so I inked some pearlised ivory card with Versa Magic Pink Petunia chalk Ink.
The oval mat was cut out on my ScaNcut machine from the Tattered Lace USB stick.
Now you may think I paper pierced the corners, but it was a happy accident, as the card used was very thick and they just embossed.
So I thought that looked nice for a change.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

I very much appreciate them all.
Well it's Friday again, and time to join ERIKA HERE with an Oldie for Friday.
Just post something older you have posted or made a while ago.
It doesn't have to be a card either it can be anything you have made.
I do urge you to pop along to Erika's blog and see the wonderful creation she has posted today.
So here is mine for this week.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used the Sue Wilson Classic Rose Die to make this design.
Underneath I used Mica Flakes on double sided sticky sheet for my background.
The sentiment is from a Creative Expressions stamp, stamped with Potting Soil Archival Ink.
Well I do hope you all have a super weekend.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
It's time once more for a new challenge over at
MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES
It's the B Teams turn to hold the challenge of which I am a DT member, and the lovely Lena is our host this time around, and she has chosen the theme So 80s.
So we would like to see your creations with something from the 80s on it.
So here is my DT card.
I decided to go with a Easel card this time around.
My DH loves the movies Back To The Future which were screened in the 80s so I thought I would use this sort of image which looks like the Back To The Future Logo.
Please pop over to see what my lovely team mates have created for this theme.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends and visitors.
I'm off to have my hair cut this afternoon so my mane will look a little tidier for a while.
So on to my Butterfly Challenge card which I made last night.
This time around they want to see Texture, and or Teal.
So here is what I decided to create.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used the Sue Wilson Layering Dies again.
The center die is another Sue Wilson one The Classic Adorned Squares, and then I used the Sue Wilson Weaving Die.
The Butterfly Die is one I won in the Challenge a while ago.
Added some Glamour Dust to give it a little sparkle.
Thank you so much for your visit.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Sorry I have been missing, but my Daughter was on holiday from work last week, so my Daughter, Myself, and my Granddaughter had a lovely week enjoying each others company, and doing some shopping as us girls like to do.
We had a wonderful time.
So today is the start of Aprils Rudolf Challenge.
This runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month on Scrappymo's Blog HERE
All you have to do to enter is make a Christmas card, and enter it into the Challenge.
It is a really fab way of getting some of your Christmas cards made.
So here is mine for this month.
This card is 8"x7" in size.
I drew around the largest die in the Sue Wilson Double Pierced Rectangles die, and then cut out my layers.
I used the Sue Wilson embossing folder Swirling Holly in the center, and used a gilding wax on it.
I stamped the design around the frame with Pine Needles DI.
Not happy with how it came out, but tried every way to get the design stamp, and the sentiment stamp to stamp better, but they must be faulty or something or maybe that's just how they are supposed to be.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
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.
It makes showing my work so worthwhile.
Today I have another of the Baby cards I made for my Granddaughter's friend.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
It comes as a card kit from craftsUprint, and you just print it off make it up how you like.
I decoupaged the pram, flowers, and the butterflies.
As the there was a slight lilac colour in the design I edged the light blue card with a Versa Mark chalk ink to go with it.
Thank you so much again for your visit, and time.
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 joining my blog.
I do hope you can pop back as often as your time allows.
My DH had a hospital appointment at Canterbury Hospital yesterday so we were out all day.
Well it's Friday again already, and time to share an Oldie with ERIKA HERE.
You just have to post something that you have shown on your blog before, and leave a comment on her Oldie, and she will return the favour.
So here is mine for this week it is some boxes I made with some bits of crochet, and lace.
Some of the bits of crochet were sent to me by some special blog friends who we don't see about blog land any more, and some I did myself.
I made these after watching a U tube
video on some very similar.
Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
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.
They are all very much appreciated.
Well today I have the Baby card I made for my Granddaughter to give to her best friend on the birth of her first baby.
I made a little pocket at the back of the card to house a small card for them to put their greetings on which you can just see in 2nd picture as you have nowhere on an easel card to write on.
This new Tonic Veranda Twisting Layering Die lends itself perfectly to an easel card.
I love how this turned out it reminds me of Wedgewood China, and that takes me back to remembering my Grandmother who always had Wedgewood ornaments, and a tea service.
Thank you again for your time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
