Happy Anniversary

Morning and I am delighted to be a Guest Designer at Creative Creases. oooh Friday the 13th!!!

I made a shaped anniversary card and sorry cannot share a link as it was on old computer!


UPDATE---found a link -5"x7" Triangle Accordion card


The papers are oddments from The Works and Watercolour Flowers from Scrap and Me, the love sentiment and little bird were cut from other paper oddments, the digi image in the pocket was found already coloured with promarkers when I decluttered but not entirely happy with it tbh-the happy anniversary is a Tonic die.


I would also like to say a big thank you for everyone who left a very encouraging comment on Helens art she was definitely over whelmed and appreciated every one-so thank you. x

Beautiful Sunflowers

  Morning  and those of you that follow me on FB know my daughter Helen draws and paints to help occupy her mind and help with her anxiety and mental health-I always show her work on FB but have decided to make a page for her art on here too-they are all drawn free hand and using coloured pencils, watercolours or graphite pencils. She gets her inspiration from Pinterest, but when I saw the Sunflower challenge at Double D I decided to show the latest one she finished yesterday.

The sunflowers were drawn freehand in pencil then water coloured, the little Bees were stamped -with I think a Chocolate Baroque stamp to hide a couple of marks she made on the paper and saved it from the bin! She has given a few away but this one is definitely going to be framed and on the wall. Size-11 and a half inches x 8and a half inches.

Sprinkled With Love

 Morning and 1st September and I have two DT posts today- the first one is for ATG+Stamping  challenge at Scrapping4fun and I got carried away and made a set of three cards using the p, paper I wasn't keen on(it's growing on me lol) P apers are from Creative World of Crafts, sentiment and stamped image are from a Rare Earth set I won a couple of months ago. 

I stamped the image onto white cardstock then onto P. paper and paper pieced the cup and saucer and the topper coloured with promarkers. The die-cut frames sets are on magnetic sheets-I remember the square ones are from The Works but no idea of the circle ones! I also meant to sprinkle some sparkle-BUT forgot -will add before cards go wherever.

Honey Doo Rose

Hi late posting but had to wait for Helen to upload my pics-still can't get my head round it!  Mojo has been a bit slow so looking through my box of papers and found this piece of p. paper with the Honey Doo crafts rose that I had already embossed on it, another oddment of paper from Hero Arts, a die-cut sentiment from Tonic and done, and just added a touch of colour with promarkers.

WV cards

 Morning and I have two WV cards (so named because of the view from the top)made using the tutorial from HERE.

I am having a purge on my patterned papers(slight admission here not particularly liked papers TBH) and made two cards.

The papers and toppers are from The Paper Boutique and circle dies bought from a decluttering site on FB.

The card is 5"x7" and folds flat to post.

New Home Card

 Morning and first of all I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for all the messages, comments on my  blog, cards and flowers I received too really much appreciated-thank you all.

I have a few cards I made but not blogged so thought I would post one to get blogging again and occupy my mind besides endless form filling and word searches.

I made one of my favourite folds, an upright Z fold card, just using the pretty papers from Stamperia. I cut another number, butterfly and the home sentiment out of the papers and put onto 3D foam pads.

Geez I am too old for change lol-everything was to simple on the computer but getting used to this laptop is something else-took Helen nearly an hour to figure out how to upload my pics from phone and now I have no idea how to add a watermark!!!
