Many Thanks

Hi, for the next week at Make My Monday we are wanting

you to share with us - giving thanks,  for our theme is

MANY THANKS

There are times when we want to say Thank you, not always for the big things, 

but sometimes just for the little things which have helped us or made us 

feel a little better, at a time when we needed it. 

The Design Team have shared their inspiration I do hope you pop

over to see their wonderful projects.

For My Project

Sometimes, I like to keep a card very simple.

A C6 card - 6" x 4" 

Using a dauber I rubbed on 3 Distress Inks.

Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron and Evergreen Bough

The stamp is from Eastern Grasses by Elusive Images (now

called Chocolate Baroque)

Thank You stamp is an old, yet faithful foam stamp.

Have fun, I look forward to  seeing your projects.

Winter Wonderland

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog and thank you for visiting.

Over at Fantasy Stampers, for the next  two weeks we have for 

our challenge - Winter Wonderland.

The Design Team have again provided wonderful inspiration,

 I'm hoping you pop over to visit.

For my Card

I have used a 5" square scallop edge card because the stamped panel

only measures 10cm x 5 cm

I have used an assortment of stamps from HobbyArt.

The sentiment is from Crafter's Companion

I used water colour pencils, a Quickie glue pen and glitter.

Hope you like my scenic winter card. hope to see you again.

if and when I may need them. Have fun.

Shabby Chic

The challenge for the next week at Make My Monday 

is a favourite of mine

Shabby Chic

The Design Team have created some wonderful projects

please pop over to see them. 

I have just recently bought a wonderful CD 

and thought the images are so wonderful I must make a few cards. 

 The  papers and images are all from 

Crisalis Classics Vol 2 from Crafter's Companion

All the artwork is by Christine Howarth.

I distressed the edges for the shabby part and added

some pretty lace and a ribbon for the chic. 

I added Glossy accents on the faux buttons.

Thanks for popping by and for your comments. 

Christmas Decorations

Hi everyone, it being November 1st, it is time for a new challenge

over at Sparkles Christmas Challenges. 

The challenge was chosen by Debs who is at present taking a break.

Christmas Decorations

Now this can either be a 3d project you have made or a feature on a card.

At a recent Scrapbook/card class I attend, we were shown how to make these

decorative trees using Christmas papers.

It is all a form of oragami , for my trees I used  4 sizes of papers 

2 x 12" square, 1 x 10" sq, 1 x 8" , and a 6" sq. 

These will be decorating a corner shelf in my upstairs hall .

We all had a good laugh, because as I was making my first tree, I 

said, never again, I'll never remember this, but when I got home, 

I thoroughally enjoyed making the remainder of the trees. 

Have fun ladies( and any gents) in making your project.
