LMC NO 105

Hello Folks,

Bit slow lately but here is two cards I made yesterday for Loretta's challenge.

I have used white card stock to make the square cards, 1 coloured card stock per card, 2 co ordinating backing papers per card, various gem stones, snowflakes, sentiments, buttons/brads and 2 rubber stamped images. A nice, quick and easy challenge if you needed to make lots in a hurry.

Until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol

Baby Card

Hi Folks,

Here's what I made yesterday afternoon, one of our neighbours recently gave birth and so I thought I would make a card for her to welcome both mom and baby home.

I have used a rectangle card, two different coloured card stocks (have tried to keep it neutral colours as do not know the sex of the baby at mo), one backing paper, one ribbon, sentiments, card candy, cuttlebug, embossing folder swiss dots, ribbon slider die cut and the lovely image Mother with Toddler by Whiff of Joy.

I thought it was rather sweet and I hope you agree with me, until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol

Hi Folks,

It seems that my internet connection is going at snails pace since last Friday, grrrrr, its really cheesing me off now! Well enough moaning, I have made the card for this challenge using one of my new images that my lovely hubbie purchased for me and well the card is going to be for him enough though he does not know it.

I have used a rectangle card, 2 colours of card stock, 1 backing paper, flowers, card candy, cuttlebug, cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots, spellbinders shape, sentiments and this gorgeous vintage image.

I do so hope you like it and until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol

LMC No 103

Well Hi Folks,

Sorry not been around for a while have been suffering with that flu virus, much better now though and have decided to give Loretta's challenge ago.

Have made 2 cards for this, both are experimental ideas, the second on is with a Dreamweaver stencil so need more practice I am afraid, not used to light boxes. I have used a small rectangle card, deep red card stock, white card stock, 2 co ordinating backing papers, various flowers, card candy, ribbon, sentiments plus the Dreamweaver stencil of bauble baubles.

The first one is a larger rectangle card, bright blue card stock, white card stock, 2 co ordinating backing papers, various flowers, card candy, ribbon, various gem stones, sentiments plus word 'husband' and a rubber stamp free in a magazine called festive baubles which I have stamped 6 times but cut out the baubles on 5 of the images to make a wreath.

As I have said these are only experiments especially the dreamweaver one and until next time do take care and happy crafting, lol

LMC NO 102 Revamped

Hi Folks,

Sorry not been around for a while, still trying to work on my calendars, they seem to take ages for me to make but they will be worth it I hope.

Anyway, I took time out from them to make the most rest challenge set by Loretta. I have used a C6 card, two shades of blue card stock, 2 co ordinating backing papers, sentiments, cuttlebug with cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots, zig zag scissors and a lovely image by Elisabeth Bell which rather sadly went slightly fuzzed when I coloured it in. Since this original post I have revamped it by stamping another one of these images and cutting out the two children and attaching it over the other one and re colouring in.

Well back to those calendars and until next time, do take care and happy crafting, lol

LMC NO 101 - My Psychedelic

Well Hi Folks,

I'm back after a short break, refreshed the ole gray matter a bit, just a shame about the weather as I was hoping to visit the beach and have a paddle (probably for the best - would not wish to shock all those lovely folks out there, hehehehe).

Anyway for job of the crafting weekend was this lovely challenge set by Loretta, mind you had a problem with this one as its supposed to include foliage and I know I have some somewhere, but I searched through all my stuff and can I find it no, so will just have to leave it this way and maybe I will come across it later.

I have used white card stock to make a square card, Deep Red/Plum card stock, Pink card stock, Backing Paper , sentiments stamped image, bright coloured flowers, deep coloured card candy in various colours and a lovely image by Stamping Bella.

I wanted to do this challenge in this colours as I was born in the late sixties (oops gives my age away- never mind) and it has always been thought that I was a hippie child because of that, no way. Thats my sister's style who is lets just say a few years older than me, I will admit that I have a few tie dyed items and love older music but I love must music even of today and well I thought it would be fun to do something a bit more in your face.

I do hope you like this one and look forward to hearing what you think of it, do take care and happy crafting, lol
