'M' is for Mia

Evening All, have you all had a fab week-end, mines been a funny one really, people in and out all the time, no time for me...lol....looking forward to tonights telly though, second part of Appropriate Adult...so good don't you think...

Here is the 'M' I promised to share with you....took alittle longer to get here than expected, but done....


Same as before, painted with acrylic,flowers are cut from a doily, coloured with promarkers in the center,some glitter at the edges and a pearl in the middle, I stamped the whole letter with my little favourite design, it never did have a name on and cost about 50p, use it all the time, and alittle crown that I have from a win.The crown is a free download which I printed smaller and cut out, covered with glossy accents,glitter and a few gems from stash,Butterfly is from stash, bunting I made as usual and crochet cotton I ran the ends through clear glue and wound round a fine pencil till dry to keep the curly effect.
the word love is a die cut from the garden center, I got about five all bunched together for 99p....how good is that, anyway, gave it the paint, gloss and glitter treatment....
Think that about covers it, Mia was very pleased with it so it's all good.....hope you have a nice evening, and if your in the path of the predicted weather front we are expecting over the next day or so, take care, have spent the day moving anything that could take flight,and a friend of mine has even cut her prize Daisy's....well as you know to get hit by a flying Daisy would be horrendous...lol...sorry my friend, how could I resist...I am waiting for the flak I will get for that remark...lol...
Take care everyone hugs Janette.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Can you see where I was heading with that title...lol.....I don't know whats up with me, but here I am again with another 'just for the fun of it' creation...Made this for Grandson Lucas, for his bedroom wall, he love boats and fish etc...as well as his beloved footie, and swimming...all this at five....anywho, bought the letter at Burnside Garden Center last week, only a couple of quid, painted with acrylic and made a lifebuoy and the boat, now I know it's not the best boat ever, but hey...he likes it...the Dolphin was just traced from an image and cut from cardstock, covered with glossy accents..... it had to have a dog on it as he loves the 'thought' of owning a dog.....not just now Lucas....it is now hanging proudly in his little room....now onto the next one...'M'........heaven help me...lol...


and heres my little boat...lol...



Well I just hope you don't all think I'm losing the plot...lol...hope your having a good night, we are being battered here today, lashings of rain and high winds,lets hope tomorrow brings dryer weather.....thanks for popping round, take care, hugs Janette.xxxxx

Just a bit of fun...

Hi Girls, hope your all well, even if the weather is behaving badly for you too....horrid....
Made this for abit of fun for a friend of Carla's, it was her Hen night and as per, Carla needed a card in a hurry....does she ever think ahead.....lol.......have had this image for an age, someone sent it to me in a swap we were doing at the time, never used it before, thought it would maybe work like this, hope you'll agree....it was well received anyway...


The inside...


Thats it from me, thanks for looking, oh the sun just came out, does that mean I can dry some washing or what..lol...enjoy the rest of the day, big hugs Janette.xxxxx

CraftyCatz challenge DT card

Morning Girls and happy friday, hope it's been a good week for you.
Time for a new challenge at CraftyCatzand this week it's our fabulous and lovely team mate Dianne' turn to host, and she chose Monochrome....lots of inspiration on the blog so pop over if you need some.......

We are Sponsored this week by The Stamping Boutique and the winner will receive 3 images of there choice.

The team were given some images to play with, I chose this little sweetie posting her Christmas cards..well I think she is anyway..



As you can see it's a very simple card, NOT what I thought it was going to look like at all...you know when you have something in mind and it just does not work out...well...this is it...I'm really not happy with the end result and didn't have time to re make...so this is it...lol...
The touches of colour on the image are done with gunmetal, ultra fine glitter
Flower was roughly cut out by hand and scrunched and then layered up and edged with glitter again

Thats it for another week, can you believe we are in September, our kids all go back to School on Tuesday, lots of sighs of relief I think...lol...Lucas and Kaleb are so ready to go back, Mia...not so much, she would rather stay home and do her own thing...lol....but she'll be fine, she is such a good girl she really is...as for me, I will miss having them around so much, it's been wonderful them all just popping in and out, and having Carla off has been a big bonus, but anyway, I can maybe get back to my other passion and get some projects going that I have been sat on for weeks...lol...hope you all have a fab day, thanks for coming over, take care, hugs Janette.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
