Not a card...

 

Morning lovely people, I hope the sunshine is bringing joy to your life, nothing like it this time of year, heaven knows we deserve it don't we...

Right then, I had a play with one of my many round boards. I painted it black, then added some rope to the back and guess what, the staples came through, so...I hammered them as much as possible then got the stencil paste out, found this lovely stencil, all those leaves climbing about and it did the trick. I then added some gold paste to it, not bowled over by it, so added a mdf 'smile' to it, still was not right, last thing was another stencil in gold, after all that, I splashed, yes I did, I am still not really sure but its done.

Let me know what you really think, did I ruin it with the splashes I wonder.....

Thanks ladies, enjoy the rest of the day, sunshine and all.

New card.

 

Morning all, I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather, cold but so sunny and actually hot in the sun, weird but good. :))

Made this yesterday, I don't usually do Easter cards, but I was going through some stash and found this sweet little bunny edge die, so onwards and upwards as they say.

The DP and all dies were from Temu, just never used as yet. I did cut the bunnies out a few times and then added lift tape to them.

I actually love this little cutie, hope it makes you smile.

Thats me done again, enjoy your day everyone, my grand daughter Mia, has just messaged me to say all the power is off and was I ok, mines not off so I can expect visitors shortly, hahaha, happy days. 

Just a quick post. I made these tags to go with something else which I can't show as yet.

The papers are so gorgeous, lots of gold, I had to edge the with gold wax and added some stamping and word tags, and some gorgeous suede cord, I did add some to the back but didn't think to photograph and now its gone so, well thats that, haha.

Hope you like.

I am  trying to keep my blog ticking over, like so many I have a few health problems, its usually my lungs but recently my heart is playing up, I have been  at the hospital quite abit and I can't praise them enough, wonderful people, and my consultant is amazing. Anyway, they are changing meds and trying different things, I may need a small op; but I can't be put under for long so that can be a challenge, phew, only telling all this so that if I don't turn up at your blogs its because I am unwell but will be back.

RIGHT....

Have a lovely weekend whatever you do, enjoy my friends.

 

Sunny day happiness..

 

Is this weather gorgeous or what !!!!!

Yep I am on cloud nine, (well the meds help, but hey, its sunny out there )

I went into my little craft room because it was warm, at last yay !!!! I have had a little play and I have so enjoyed it.

First up is my new journal I made a while ago, played around with some TH stencils and inks, then found a whole bunch of images, the one with sticky backs, great for a quick play, so they went on, alittle bit of stamping script and then a splish splash , it was so fun. Oh yes also added some words from a book and done.

Next up.

Thought this would be a good one for the box, just incase you know. It came together so fast, The card was from a set of rub ons I had from years ago, infact the flowery image is the last from the set, its a 49and Market set and they have been brilliant and very handy at times. 

Some splashes and some word strips again, layered up on black card and done.

Last but not least a little tag from scrap card, why not, it get itself all stamped up, gold edges and a nice number plate on leather cord. Oh and a butterfly....almost forget that..

Thats it, I am very happy because I have to wait it out to get in there, its normally like a fridge and who can afford to heat rooms that aren't necessary, not me anyway.

Right I hope you are all enjoying the day, its Womens Day today, I think, so happy day all.

Christmas card....oh no....

 

Hello all you lovely people, hope you are all well.

Yesterday was such a beautiful, warm day, so into the craft room to have a play I went and came out with this. A Mo image, cute or what ?

I kept it quite simple, coloured with PM and splashed with white ink, the sentiment dies are from Temu, which I double cut and layered up.

Thats it, I have been trying out felting, well, I say 'trying out', heaven knows if or when I will get any further, but I keep seeing my inspiration on Pinky's blog and told her I would have ago, so glad I bought the leather finger protectors though, haha. Time will tell.

Have a lovely Sunday, even if it is pouring with rain and blowing a gale :))

Birthday update.

 

Yesterday was my birthday, I want to say a big thankyou to all who sent cards, flowers and messages. I was completely ruined by my family, silly thing was I told Carla last week, not to make a fuss and buy a silly balloon with the big number on for all to see !! that was my first mistake. She put on a lovely buffet for us all on Saturday, as I walked in the house was filled with giant balloons :)) then she followed me down the road as I went back to my house, next day I saw her passing by the window carrying more balloons, haha, so, here are some of the cards and the now infamous balloons, there are more just couldn't get them all in, even a big crown, how long do they take to go down, I want to know hahaha.

As you and all my neighbours can see, I am now 70 years old and cannot believe it, I think I am still a young person in my head, well until I look in the mirror anyway, haha. 

Thanks for a lovely day.

Re-freshed box.

 

Good morning, hope all in the UK have survived

the storm, it got pretty bad, I know many are still without power, and lots of damage. I managed to get away with the garden fencing folded up like paper and the concrete posts of two of them just crumbled, it was pretty nasty.

********************

OK then, I have had this box more than thirty years, it once was a green colour and it contained a gift from my Mam, over the years I have re-covered it a few times, it started to look very tired again, so grabbed my favourite papers and here it is, some black around the top and a touch of gold rub, tah-dah. :))

I am quite pleased with it, saved for a few more years I hope.

Here is a picture of the before, it was pretty awful.

There we go, another one bites the dust.

Thats all again folks, must say abig THANK YOU for the comments last time, its so nice to see what you all think.

Take care.
