First Challenge

What do you think I did with these supplies?

Well the pre crop Challenge over at UKS was to make a planner and an exploding box. I thought the planner would be a great idea as I could not live witout my lists, and the exploding box I made for one of my friends Birthdays. The supplies I used came from my abundant stash and the ribbons are from Angel Crafts.

The Hand Of Friendship

This is a page I made a while ago but due to not being able to blog on time lately it is very very late. It is a picture which we have in a frame in my mum's lounge and I thought it would look great just blinged up a bit. This is my Niece and Nephew in Scotland we don't see them very often but get pictures of their mum all the time. Like the tile says the hand of friendship, the thing with these two is they are more than brother and sister they definitely are more like best friends. The ribbons, flowers and prima pearls are from Angel Crafts. The title is made using my foam stamps and the flower is made by myself by punching various sizes of circles, spritzing them with water then scrunching them up and sticking together. Don't they look pretty.

The photographs are not fantastic the light here at the moment is just awful if I get chance to photograph again I will upload.

Anyway are we all in the full swing now? presents bought and wrapped special food prepared etc, or are you like me and thinking Ahhh! when will I get a chance to do it all?. Why do we panic we always manage it don't we?. So how ever far you are on preparing your festivities just enjoy the process x

Autumn Birthday Card

Hi all I nearly forgot this one it is an Autumnal Birthday card for my very good friend who lives in Spain, so definately needs to go in the post tomorrow. The papers are Kay and co, rafia from my stash and the the sweet little pearls, ribbons, and flowers are Angel Crafts . The main gorgeous image is from the a Whiff of Joy Fall stamp kit 2009 and coloured in with one of my favourite markers copics.

Birthday Card Copic

This is a card I made for my sister in law for her Birthday using a lovely Magnolia image and coloured in with copic markers. I can not remember what colours I used. I did jot them down but silly me I have lost the note, so if I find the note I will let you know. I added Prima jewels, ribbon and flowers from Angel Crafts and to make it just that extra special I have added a little extra bling with some spray glitter from Crafters Companion and some stardust stickles.

Then I made a handmade box and decorated a little bag and made a handmade box and filled it with some gorgeous yankee candles.

Happy Birthday Pete

It was Gary's Dad's Birthday Pete,the other day he is now in a home as he is unsafe to be left on his own after falling and breaking his shoulder then a week later falling and breaking the other. He is too old to operate but he is doing fine. Gary sees him every day but with his Birthday the whole family were there and the home had decorated his room with decorations and a balloon so nice of them.

This is the card I made for him with a Whiff of  Joy image and coloured with copic markers, the flowers and ribbons I used were from Angel Crafts,

Not to forget our little Susie dog who just had to get in on the action too, sitting with our youngest niece Natasha don't they look cute together. 

It was also our other nieces Birthday Nattalie on the same day so they always celebrate together every year.

For Nattalie's card I used one of my trusted Mo Manning digital images as it reminds me so much of Nattalie and her friends. I have coloured this in with copic markers and the ribbons and flowers are from my own supplies.

Copic Birthday card

This is a Birthday card I made for a very dear friend, first of all I need to apologise about the photograph it is not one of my best as I had to take it on my camera phone and very quickly. I used a cute Just Magnolia image, and coloured her in with Copic markers. The ribbon and flowers are from Angel Crafts and I have added stickles and spray sparkle.

Back Again

Do you ever get the feeling that things are passing you buy too quickly. Well that is how I feel at the moment due to a multitude of reasons including health, personal  and to top that doing a degree in Psycholgy what am I mad ? I think I must be. I have not been able to do any crafting or talking to my lovely crafting blogging buddies for such a long time, so for this I apologise . I will in the next few days be trying to catch up on you all so I hope that you will all bear with me. So for now here is a card I made for one of my close friends and a bag that I filled with a lovely scented Yankee candle I love all of them, and the all important thing some chocolates see what you think

The image was from Mo Manning a lovely digital image of a girl just relaxing reading her favourite book, the flowers and ribbon were from Angel Crafts and the papers were from stash

Friends Mo Manning Image

This was a card I made for one of my crafting friends. I used one of Mo Manning's fantastic digital Stamps, the flowers and ribbon are from Angel Crafts. I coloured the image in with pro markers not my trusted copics this time. 

I did it

Ok I am celebrating woo hoo I have done it. I have used my sewing machine, and got a bit carried away I may add, no pictures yet though sorry. I will have to Wait till the Gaz takes them for me tomorrow. So in the meantime this is a picture of a card I made for my friend who has just turned the big 50 sorry Jane, I have used another one of Victoria Case Art Designs which has been coloured with my copic markers, and the ribbon and gorgeous flowers are from Angel Crafts.

Lovelyness

On our way back from York we did a little detour and ended up at my brother's in Scotland which, was lovely to see the rest of the family including my nephew who is only 2 years younger than me who is married and has 2 children of his own, and scary they are growing up so quickly. Anyway I digress what I wanted to tell you is have a look at these they are absolutely gorgeous, these are just a small sample of the new flowers by Prima which I got while visiting one of my favourite craft suppliers Angela who is over at Angel Crafts who I get a monthly ribbon kit off every month, so much to my surprise she only lives about 10 minutes away from my brother's so I just popped over to see her, and she is lovely. I am also very lucky as she gave me a little freeby some gorgeous butterflies I carn't waite to use them. thanks again Angela.
