Week 44 Add a Flower Challenge

Hello Folks,

Sorry not done any crafting until today folks, had lots on my mind what with my back and car troubles, grrrrr. Hopefully by the early tonight the car will be back on the road again, praying and praying that it will be as a busy weekend and will none of it will be possible without the car.

I have been waiting for my craft papers to turn up since Monday and they finally arrived today so I could make this card.

I thought I would use the lovely rubber stamp by Crafts and Me called Genevieve as she is so gorgeous and suits my mood. I have also used, Marianne Design Creatables: frames-swirls, Core'dinations 12x12: love potion , My Mind's Eye - Lush: Fuchsia stripe both sides as double sided, Basic Grey Sweet Thread collection: Lacy organic one side as double sided, Bazzill Bling: string of pearls, Bazzill Bling: glass slipper, flowers, card candy, brads and sentiments.

Well thats it for this week and fingers crossed that all will be well with the car, until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol

Week 43 Challenge Summer plus one other

Well Hi Folks,

Hope this finds you all well, not done much this week as my back is giving me hell again, too much crafting hahaha! So I have decided I nice little rest this week, but well I could not just leave it at that as I have been working on ideas for new layouts.

So I have made 2 cards for this week and the first one is a male card. I have used white card stock to make a square card, bitter chocolate card stock, cream card stock, 3 co ordinating backing papers, ribbon, flowers, card candy, sentiments and a car digi image. Its not come out too bad but will need to play with this layout a bit more to get it just right at another time.

The last card I have made is for the summer challenge which I have used white card stock to make the square card, bright pink card stock, cream card stock, bright pink striped patterned paper, cream with bright pink dots patterned paper, cream with pink flowers and butterflies patterned paper and cream with pale green stripes plus pink flowers with stems patterned papers. Also I have used severals flowers, gem stones, cuttlebug, embossing folder swiss dots, ribbon, brads, peel off sentiments and a gorgeous rubber stamped image called Petal Melody.

The whole card reminds me of the my garden in the summer with such bright flowers like petunias and am pleased with this one especially as there are lots of patterned papers involved making it more complicated. Well thats it for me this week as am trying to keep it a bare minimum with regards to my back, so until next week, do take care and happy crafting, lol

Week 42 Challenge - Favourites

Hi Folks,

This is the last post of the week, think I have done enough crafting for this week and I have decided to have a break until Monday.

So I decided I would have a go at this week's Crafts & Me challenge, well choose a favourite image, eek, not an easy one when I lots of lovely images to play with and I adore them all. So I decided one choosing 3 of my new ones, Genenvieve, Alice in Chains and the cheeky Devastatia. I had hoped that Genevieve would be my favourite but am unhappy with the ribbon colour, but then it was my first attempt at this layout and was not sure I was going for that deep purple look but I tried to use some card candy in a similar colour to the ribbon.

Well never mind I still love them all but what to choose as its a hard choice between the other two.

To make these cards I have used white card stock for the basic card, 2 different colours of card stock, 2 co ordinating patterned papers, cuttlebug, embossing folder swirls, ribbon, sentiments, flowers, brads, card candy and of course those fab images.

Perhaps you could let me know which one of these you prefer and until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol

That's better

Hi Folks,

Its cooler here now as we have had some well needed rain, so I have finally added all the glitter to my items including myself!

And I have finished the last 3 wallet cards for a while, can try my hand at something else now!

I have used white card stock to make the wallet cards, cuttlebug, embossing folder swiss dots, x cut corner punch, ribbon slot punch, ribbons, 2 different coloured card stocks per card, 2 co ordinating patterned papers per card, flowers, brads, card candy, gem stones, glitter and some lovely rubber stamped images called Gargoyles of Notre Damme, Making a Wish and Puddles of Love.
