Pretty Roses in a Vase

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? Ours went to plan. It was nice seeing my in-laws on Saturday and the vacuum cleaner was sorted out. Then on Sunday after our online church service we went to Lee-on-Solent. This is about a 20 minute drive from where we live. We had a walk along the beach. You can see the Isle of Wight from there and there were lots of people out sailing. It was so lovely to have a walk somewhere different. When we got back we put the cards I am putting into the sale next weekend  in plastic bags along with envelopes. Tomorrow I will have a go at prices them. When that is done I will be ready for setting up on Friday. 

Here is another pretty little card that I made from an old card. 


I thought the roses were so pretty. I cut the image down so that it and its mat would fit inside the frame made with a Spellbinders die. The lace was in my stash. The pink patterned paper you can see behind the lace is the back of the main patterned paper that I used. I have a big box of 6" x 6" papers and they are all mixed up I can't remember where they came from.


This is such a pretty image. I was able to make the bottom of the card into a tag. 


There you have it another card for the sale. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
The August Challenge at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge
Challenge 63 at Crafting Happiness Challenges

Have a good week.

Crafts Galore Encore - April Challenge - Anything Goes.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Here I am back with another post. This time it is for the new challenge at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge blog where the theme is Anything Goes. The sponsor is the fantastic Vera Lane Studio. The prize on offer this time is two sets of images of the winners choice.

Our daughter just loves cactus's so when I saw these images I just had to have them.


Sometime ago I used my Gelli Plate to make some backgrounds. This was the time to use one of them. I also used some Spellbinders dies to make the black die cuts. 


There are so many fabulous images in the store. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 


This set of images is called Succulents and it is available HERE. I was rather pleased with myself I managed to cut the sentiment so it fitted inside the die cut. 


All of the Succulents were printed onto Neenah card stock and were coloured with Promarkers. 


Once each one was coloured I cut them all out. 


I did choose the Succulents that would be easier to cut out. 


Then they were arranged around the sentiment. 


Sometimes at a jaunty angel. 


I did rather like the way this card turned out. I know our daughter is going to love it. 

I had been  wondering on cutting down on my Design Team commitments but right now I am very glad that I didn't.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Stay safe and well.

Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) - Bees

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I am back again today with my second post. This is for the new challenge at the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) challenge blog and June has chosen the theme of BEES. 

I was going through my stash and I came across a background I had made with Pixie Powders.


When I think of Bees I think of summer and flowers. 


The Bee die came from the Dovecraft Bee Happy Die Collection. I cut the die in black and backed it with white glitter card. I coloured the yellow bits with Promarkers. 


The sentiment comes with the die set too. 


I made the sunflowers with a Spellbinder's die set. I love sunflowers they are so bright and cheerful they look like they are smiling at you. 


I was very pleased with how this card turned out and very pleased that I had bought a bee die set.

A 21st Birthday Card for a special Lad

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? Sometimes things get so hectic that it is hard to find time to blog. I am sure lots of you know what this is like.

A couple of weeks ago there was an appeal for 21st birthday cards for a lad who wasn't expected to live past the age of three. So I decided to make a card for this lad's very special birthday.


I have had a stack of foiled card in my stash for a while. It was nice to actually use some on a project. 


I had a piece of one of my inky backgrounds left over and I cut the Spellbinders hot air balloon to go over it. The bird dies came free with a magazine recently. 


This numbers are X-cut dies and them make quite a statement. 


I hope he liked his card. I did see some photos there were lots of cards and he looked very happy. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Cards made with Pollyanna Pickering images

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? The start of my week was quiet. Today my husband has the day off so that his car can be looked at. We are going to take the opportunity to visit the tea-room where he will be having his birthday in August. There are a few choices to make. I will be helping at a Felting Workshop on Friday. On Sunday we are travelling up to Warwick so that we can attend my aunt's funeral on the Monday.

I decided to make to cards with one of my Pollyanna Pickering image pads.


I used the Deckled Rectangle dies from Spellbinders to cut out part of the image and a black mat for it. The papers came from a pad by Creative World of Crafts. 


Here is a close up of the cut out section. 


I did exactly the same with the owl image. 


He is a gorgeous Barn Owl. 


As yet I haven't added sentiments I will do this when I know who the cards are going to. 

I would like to enter the following challenges: 
The June Challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge


I hope the rest of the week is kind to you. Have a great weekend. 

Happy Crafting

We have put things in place so we can still go to Malta. As far as I know my dad will still be in hospital when we get back. We will have to come up with a solution for supporting my mum. I really am hoping to enjoy the break.

I made the sunflower with a Spellbinders die set. 


In the image there is a tiny dragonfly this gave me the excuse to use my John Next Door dragonfly dies. When I used them it made me want the butterfly dies from the John Next Door range.

Pollyanna Pickering Kingfisher Christmas card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We are in the process of getting ready to go to the wedding in Malta. There is still quite a bit to sort out.

That is what I wrote when I scheduled this post when I was trying to get ahead, Life has flipped. My dad is still in hospital he had a pacemaker fitted yesterday. He now has mobility issues and I know that he can't come out without a care package. He was acting as carer for my mum who we are now supporting. We need a permanent solution at the moment I am not quite sure what that means. This is the reason that I am not around much, I am going to have to make some difficult decisions about my crating. 

I have challenged myself to enter all of the Rudolph Days challenges this year. This is my card for the July Challenge that starts today and ends on the last day of the month.


I decided to use the same design that I used for the Barn Owl card from the same A Winter's Day Decoupage Popper pad. This time I wanted to make a larger card. So I turned to my Creative Crafting World paper pads to add the extra detail. 


I used the Deckled Rectangle dies by Spellbinders to cut out the kingfisher and the black mat. 


This is my go to small Season's Greetings die from Tattered Lace it  is such a good size for small spaces. 


I think I might make a few more cards like this they are nice and flat for posting.

Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) - Wild Animals

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Just a quick update. As many of you know my father was taken into hospital last Sunday. He was severely hydrated. He is still in hospital and still on a drip. There is a problem with his heart and he is still rather confused. My mum is very needy and requires a lot of support. We have tidied the house and made sure all the food is fresh. So far we have visited each day and taken my mum to visit my dad. My poor husband is working mornings coming home and taking me to Fleet and then to and from the hospital. We get back home late evening.  It is exhausting. All this is why I am not around much at the moment.

Today the  new challenge starts at the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog and this time the theme is Wild Animals. 


As soon as I think about wild animals I go to all the images I have by Pollyanna Pickering. I have the A Winter's Day Decoupage Popper Pad and I like owls. I chose the Barn Owl image from the pad. 


Please join in with our Wild Animal challenge. 


I took one of the sheets and I die cut the owl with a Spellbinders Deckled Rectangle die. Then I cut a black mat for it with the largest die in the set. Then I realised that it would fit back onto the original sheet from the pad. 


I matted and layered and added a sentiment. Card done. 


A nice thing happened  when the girl who comes to do my Sport's Massage saw this card she asked if she could have 5 of them. She is a Brownie pack  leader and she wanted them for her fellow leaders. I have made all the cards now. At the moment she is out in Italy supporting one of the British Women's Cycling Teams. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

My favourite Pollyanna Pickering image of a Snowy Owl

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? You will be pleased to know that we signed up for one cow when we saw our friends on Friday. I might be able to post pictures of her  from time to time. I want to call her Rosie but my husband  isn't so sure. The weekend was a mix of shopping and gardening. Plus the amazing electrical storm we had Saturday night.

Last week was Pollyanna Pickering's funeral. It is so sad that she has gone. On that day I decided to make a card with my favourite image of hers. I had this one as a puzzle before I knew about the paper kits and DVD roms. I just wanted to have some time to reflect.


I used the Sandwich box dies from John Next Door to make the lattice in the background. The paper underneath is from Creative World of Crafts. 


As I have said this is my favourite image from Pollyanna Pickering. 


The sentiment came from another Creative World of Crafts pads and I used a Sue Wilson die to cut the tag from the backing paper. 


This is a Spellbinders poppy die. 


I am sure that whoever I send this card to will love it. I have a few of these images left I am going to be careful where I use them. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Challenge 203 at the Crafting from the Heart Challenge blog
Challenge 3 at the Creative Crafting World Challenge 

Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting
