Hi to all, I hope this will be a quick post, spare you all :))

Made this page about an hour ago, its a slight bit warmer here today so I ventured into my back room, it gets so cold you wouldn't believe, anyways, here it is.

Warm shades for the time of year, the images are from some Mintay papers I have had tucked away, like to look at them but dread using, how daft is that. The wording is from my label maker.

That's that then. Below you will see  photo of my parents, today is Mams birthday, 100yrs. she was always the most elegant, smart woman you could wish to meet, always well presented and made my life brighter by just being in it.

I managed to get some flowers and Carla brought the roses she always loved, some years are harder than others, this has been a bad one. I have felt her loss so much, we were the best of friends, no one could ever replace her, and her guidance was priceless, what do you do when someone this wonderful has to leave, well, I remember how lucky I was to be her daughter, in all the good and bad times I may have had, she was there, always had my back. So, happy birthday Joanie, you are and always will be loved and remembered.

Thankyou all so much for your visit, I truly appreciate you all.

Need your opinions please...

 

Hi there, hope your week has been fine, to all those suffering floods and horrific storms, I hope you and yours are all safe.

I just made this Christmas card, its quite a simple one, the image is from a pack of rub on transfers I bought recently and they are gorgeous, layered it on gold mirror card and added gold twine and some ribbon, the sentiment is a die I have had forever and it was from either Amazon or ebay, who knows, sorry about that.

Problem is, should I splash it or leave as is, I can't decide and if I splash, gold or black, what do you think...........

Side views of the twine, I mean it won't be controlled so hopefully it will sit better when its been in the envelope....

Now these two candles were asking to be 'done up' The small one is actually from Dunelm, its scented with Sicilian lemon verbena, its gorgeous, I use the sprays in the house, it the only thing that doesn't kill me, and the house smells delish. The bigger one is just one from a pack I bought and put in this glass, then added these transfers, they are like three D and look so pretty, I tell you these things are going to be used, alot.

So thats all for now, I hope you all have a lovely weekend, we have been having some sunny days, it makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks so much for any comments you may leave, always grateful for those.

 

Birthday card.

 

Morning you lovely lot. Today I have a card I made from this gorgeous EF I have had in stash for awhile. Decided it was high time for a play around. Made the card and added the happy birthday sentiment.

Its quite simple, I did add a touch of gold gilding on it to try and bring out the design, , so I ran a few darker tags through and this happened.

How pretty is that design, quick and easy, on the back I added a little note tag.

I just couldn't cover the design on the back either so did the same gold on there.

Added some gold string I had and done.

Hope you agree with me, I love this EF and I can say it will be used alot more in future.

Thankyou so much for any comments you may leave. Have a happy day.

Christmas craft

 

Saw one of these mail box's all made up looking gorgeous on Instagram by a wonderful crafter named Vicky, she does the most fabulous things for Stamperia. Anyway, I wanted to have ago but couldn't find the link for the die, so made one out of paper first then cut the parts from some grey board I had, painted them all red 

Then stuck together with lift tape

Next up die cut the letter for the post, added some 'snow', I mixed some paste with glitter for this bit, added a letter to Santa and some little gifts cut from  Stamperia pad from last year.

Also added a little service notice in the front, had no real idea where I was going at this point so just went with it.:))

Its nothing near as good as Vicky's but I had to try and think it worked out pretty well, hope you agree.

That's all from me today, have a lovely weekend. After the gorgeous sunny week we just had this afternoon is clouding over, I have a stew simmering on the stove and it smells pretty good. 

New stamp set....

 

New stamp set came yesterday and I just had to play right then.

They are not branded and I think you will get where I bought them from.

Think this is the fastest note card ever :)) Just inked up and then inked around with some more TH inks. Layered onto black card which I think make it pop abit more.

 Just did a torn piece on the inside. Thats it, done. Up next is the other image I used, there are five so you will see more at some point.

I really love these images and of course you could add colour if you fancy, up to you.

Same inside as before.

I hope you like these as much as I do, really happy with these stamps and I think they will be great in my journal too.

Thankyou so much for the visit, let me know you called and I will come see you.

Good morning, this is a quick post really.

I made this page last week and never got round to putting on my blog, Its a paper serviette image , I tore it up and mod-podged it into place, added some touches of faded black and gold around the edges, a stamp here and there and some TH  sentiment strips, done. I like it simply because I love Cows, adorable creatures.

Is he a little picture or what !!!!! haha

Thats all folks, I am off to do I don't know what as its a very rainy day here, so it could be a telly catch up who knows. Hope your day is a good one, take care. 

Happy day.

 

Hi Lovely people, hope you had a good weekend and your week is going well so far.

I got my new image from Mo's Patreon page, he is so cute and I had to colour him up asap, so I did and here he is.

I am sort of miffed at the card this is on, as soon as I began layering up it had a problem and instead of starting over I carried on, so this won't be going out to anyone, I can't stand imperfections, its bad enough my eyes are not as good where my colouring is concerned, but this !!!! no I just can't :))

Side view I used some rub-ons from CraftStash, they are for Mental well being so bought a few.

Thats it, off I go, I have a few things on this week , and I bought a new chair from Dunelm that had just arrived, thats coming Wednesday, also got a Doctors appointment for the same day, its all exciting stuff hahaha.

Thankyou for popping in and if you leave a comment better still.
