Let's Craft and Create challenge 105


This is my design card for Let's craft and create 105: use dies or punches . Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and join in our challenge.

This is an 8" x 8" card using three punched layers, two of which use K & Company papers left over from a card made previously. I used three different We R Memory Keepers mini 8 punches - don't know why they call them 'mini' because they are actually quite big and can be used on varying sizes of paper up to 12" x 12" - here I used pieces 8", 7" and 6" square. The centre piece was cut from my wedding veil. I kept the veil for over 20 years, but it had been folded up and wasn't in good condition, so I decided to get rid of it, but keep the pieces from the edge. Flowers from Hobbycraft, pearls from Poundland. I think this could be used for any special occasion, perhaps ruby wedding anniversary. It's given me the idea that I could use another piece from the veil to make a card for our silver wedding next year (if we get there).

Remembering summer


'Remembering summer' is the theme of the Cheerful stamp pad challenge 119, for which I made this card for the second week - please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team. Sadly, Vicki is taking a break from hosting these challenges - I will certainly miss designing with Vicki and the rest of her wonderful team and wish everyone well in their ongoing crafting. I looked back to see when I first joined the team at the Cheerful stamp pad was amazed that it was back in August 2013, just over two years ago.

This is a similar card to the one I made for week 1 of this challenge, once again using the lovely Miss Lily on the beach image kindly supplied by the challenge sponsor, Little Blue Button, coloured with chameleon pens. Papers and card used to create the background were  from various bits and pieces that have built up over the years, tearing to give the idea of the sea and beach with a torn piece of DCWV summer paper text across the middle and a piece of DCWV flip flops grosgrain ribbon with a few other bits and pieces. I made the bucket and spade look shiny by covering with glossy accents, although that doesn't show here.

80th birthday card


This is my design card for A bit more time to craft September challenge 3 - always anything goes. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in our challenge - lovely prizes to be won. Big apologies to Lozzy and the team for my lateness - the card was done and as a draft on my blog some days ago, but I forgot to add to for the challenge blog - big apology.


A friend commissioned me to make an 80th birthday card with the request of pink/lilac colours and flowers. The shimmery background paper and the decoupage flowers are from a set bought some years ago. The computer generated greeting was matted on to a snippet piece of Hot off the Press paper, another offcut being used for the panel beneath the number and flowers.

This is another design card for CCAYR September: a country Christmas.  Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in our challenge. This time I used some Holly Hobby background paper from a magazine freebie - the corner was a bit tatty, so I decided to cut a couple of corners. I used a torn piece of scrap My Mind's Eye glitter Christmas paper and a shiny gold piece of card (just looks beige here) as a background to the little gingerbread person, adding some poinsettias from Poundland.

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper September challenge


It's the beginning of a new month and time for a new challenge on my Patterned Paper blog - Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper September challenge - please click on the link to see the wonderful designs of my team - I am so fortunate to have such a talented bunch of ladies.

As the prize for September is a lovely 12" x 12" K & Company paper pad (more details here), I thought I would use similar K & Co papers for my easel card, using some die cuts, corrugated card strip, hearts, bows and lace as well as the gorgeous vase of flowers 106 embroidered topper kindly given to me by Crafty Bren.

CHNC challenge extra for September


It is hard to believe that we are already starting September. Here in the UK the nights are really drawing in (especially on rainy days like today) and Christmas is getting nearer! If you haven't yet started your Christmas cards etc, September can be the ideal time to do so before it gets to the panic season for crafters. I know that many of my visitors have been ahead of the game and entering into my challenges throughout the year, but if you haven't, please step across to CHNC challenge extra for September and join in the fun.

This is my design card using supplies from Bugaboo Stamps who are always the sponsors for my CHNC challenge extra blog. I am so grateful to them, as I know my winners are.

I used digi papers Frosty (red snowflakes) and Girlz Christmas present, adding a big red bow and the sentiment.

The ribbon is some DCWV that I've had for quite some time and fabric buttons from Poundland. The sentiment strips were generated with my Dymo letratag.

Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 100


This is my design card for this week's Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 100: anything goes with a twist ... use a number.

I was commissioned to make this card by a friend whose Auntie was to be 100.

Leather and lace


I was invited by the lovely Anne Lise to join her as a guest - you can read more about this here.

I used the lovely 'leather and lace' image supplied by Delicious Doodles, colouring with chameleon pens and mounting on to a piece of embossed paper that was originally gold and I swiped it with a red pen, hence it has a  nice shimmer to it. This was then mounted on to a piece of faux crocodile leather paper. The paper on the right hand side is Black market paper society ebony & alabaster Breakfast at Tiffany's. All papers were from my offcuts box. I used a panel of faux embossed leather with a silver sheen - this is almost like a thick material - it's the last piece of some that I bought years ago at Ally Pally. This seemed just the right sort of card to use it for. the lace on the left hand side is a rub on with some Deco Time pearls added and also on to parts of the image.
