BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE 57.......Y IS FOR YEARS AND OR YELLOW

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.

Today is the start of another

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE

and the theme this time around is Y for years and or yellow.

So as I had something made up in yellow I thought I would enter it, but I don't have any of the years part on it.

It's another one of my tissue boxes which I have been making for the stall I am doing at my daughter's works fund raising event.  

 These are so easy to make.

For the base it takes 3 A4 sheets of card.

I buy my tissue boxes from the supermarket starting with T, and they measure just under 5" tall, and 4" one side, and 4 and half inches the other side.

I cut down 2 A4 sheets of card to 5" and then I score at half an inch, 4 " and 9 and half inches on my Hougie board.

You cut off the rest that is left over, and glue together.

The lid is slightly over 6" by slightly over 6 and half  inches, and you score one inch around all sides, and this makes the lid.

Don't forget to make your aperture before you glue the sides of the lid as I have done that a few times. LOL.

Then it's ready to decorate how you like.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time as I do know time is very precious to all of us.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

HUBBIES BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

It was my DH Birthday last Tuesday, and he has a mobility scooter because he can't walk too far these days.

So when I saw this image at Doctor Digi's I just had to have it.

Now this looks nothing like my DH, but he does wear glasses quite similar, and sometimes forgets to put his shoes on so I thought the slippers part was appropriate.

By the way he loved it thank goodness.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

I coloured the digi image in with Promarkers, but started to run out of the navy while colouring the trousers.

So they are a bit patchy.

When I had finished colouring my image I photographed it, and made the paper to match with my 3D Decoupage CD from Card Creations Plus.

I also added glossy accents to the glasses.

Thank you for your visit, and time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

RUDOLF CHALLENGE...JUNE 2016

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

Sending big hugs to those of you in need of a hug this morning, as I know a few friends that are in need of this.

Today I am posting my Rudolf Challenge card.

Now I thought I couldn't enter this month as I am one of Scrappymo's design team this year, but Mo let me know I can enter this month, and not from next month when I start.

So here is what I am entering this month.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

The image is from Squeeze Cards Christmas Cottage Delights CD.

I matted and layered the image, and then added some suede ribbon to the side with wooden snowflakes on top. 

The sentiment is a stamp from LOTV, and is embossed with Sea Foam White embossing powder which I have had for years.

Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES......................DESIGN TEAM CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

Today starts a new challenge theme at 

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES.

Our host this time around is the lovely Beckkie, and she has chosen the theme A New Baby. 

So here is my Design Team card.

This is a 8"x8" size card.

This was a card kit from craftUprint.

It just wasn't an 8" design so I added the border of the lace, and roses.

I just fell in love with that wonderful image of that baby.

I cut out the lovely elements of the dummy and the baby bits around the card , and then decoupaged them.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Today I have snippets make, and something quite different for me.

I have been admiring the lovely inking and scene work on a few blogs I visit, and thought I would treat myself to the Inkylicious Ink Duster starter kit.

So here is my very first effort, all done on snippets card, and so I can join the playmates in the snippets playground with this as I haven't been able to join in for a few weeks now.

This is a 5"x7" size card.

I was quite pleased with my first effort not perfect, but I thought I would show you.

Can't wait to play some more.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

GARDEN THEME BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

Thank you so much for your visit.

I spotted the Allsorts challenge theme this week is the garden so I made this card to enter the challenge.

This is a 6"x6" size card.

The image is from the Joanna Sheen's book of

 Sylvie Ashton's  images.

I loved this image as it reminded me of my childhood and our garden.

I edged white card with Brilliance Pearlescent Ice Blue Ink.

Couldn't get the right colour for the inside, with my photo it is the same as the outside of the card.

Thank you again for your visit, and time.

OLDIE FOR FRIDAY

Hi and welcome to all very talented friends, and visitors.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

I very much appreciate all your wonderful comments on my work.

My Daughter works for a charity that looks after clients with learning difficulties, and they are having a fund raising event in August so I am steadily trying to make things to sell on one f their stalls to help.

So if I'm not about much you know the reason why, but I will try to keep up as much as I can.

So onto today, and it's been a few weeks since I joined ERIKA HERE 

with an Oldie for Friday.

It's all just for fun, but a delightful way to show your newer followers some of your older work.

So here is mine this week.

This is an A5 size card.

I used a Hunkydory image, and card stock that came free with their magazine a few years ago.

I added a a doily, and a few Spellbinders Parisian Die Cuts around my sentiment.

The stick pin I made.

Thank you again for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE NO 56 ........GUEST DESIGNER O....FOR OVAL AND OR OLIVE

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

I was lucky enough to win the 
BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE 
 again recently, and was asked by Mrs A to be the Guest Designer for this challenge.

Out of the letters of the alphabet left I chose the letter O and Mrs A gave me the colour Olive, and Oval to design a creation.

So here is what I came up with a rocker card, and a oval aperture card.

Now this colour set me a great challenge as I didn't have any Olive colour card, so I made up the colour with Crafters Companion Aqua Water Colour Pen, and sprayed it with Creative Expressions Phill Martin's Old Gold Cosmic Shimmer Mister. 

The oval butterfly card, and the tag  came in my lovely goody bag provided by Mrs A for my recent win.

The flowers, and the foliage are a Tattered Lace Die that came free with a purchase.
The second card I made with some lovely die cuts a dear blog friend sent me.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

I do hope you can join us in this wonderful challenge.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

A4 WEDDING CARD AND BOX

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.

I really do appreciate your lovely comments on my work.

Well you know I said  on the weekend I was working on some wedding cards and boxes.

Here is the A4 size I made.

This is a A4 size card and box I made to fit.

The wedding couple I found on the internet, and printed onto Ivory Iridescent pearlised card.

When printed it came out as a grey line so I used Memento London Fog Ink to do my stamping so it tied in with it.

Made DL cards to go inside, and stamped them with London Fog Ink.

So all the staff could sign them.

Thank you again for your visit.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

DAUGHTER BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.

Sorry I have been missing again, but it was half term last week, and Nanny to the rescue with child minding duties again.
I do love to look after them as we have such a great time, and a lot of baking was done yet again.
On the weekend I had a couple of rush orders for wedding cards, and boxes from my daughter for her work colleagues to give to their staff members who are getting married.

So onto my card today it was made for my little Great Granddaughter who   loves to run, and do gymnastics.

This is a 8"x8" size card.
The image is a pre-coloured one from Polkadoodles.
I just added the grass with Promarkers.
I made the background paper yet again with my 3D decoupage CD from the image.
I also added some glitter to her hair toggles, and trainers, but you can't see that very well.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

SON'S BIRTHDAY CARD AND CUPCAKES

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.

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.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE NO 55........A IS FOR APERTURE AND OR APRICOT

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.
