Our forum has moved

This is just to let you know that the forum that I have been a member of  for more years than I care to remember has now moved, we (me and Bri) are now hosting it on our website, and I've had lots of fun setting up the design of the forum along with Lynn, the founder of the former site, We are now enjoying all the lovely comments that are being made about the site, and of course enjoying the company of all the lovely ladies over there, the link is over on the right hand side, (crafters reunited), please feel free to come on over and say hi, we would love to meet you in our new home!!

I've updated!!

Hi again, As you can see I've been playing with my blog, Im sorry I havent been posting but as always I have been a busy bee, we are in the middle of setting up a new site for a craft forum that I am admin on, The link to the one I'm talking about is in my list of  "my favourite sites" ( "fab friendly forum") but I will give further details when the new one is up and running in the near future

In the meantime I would like to show you some Christmas cards I have made

 The bauble one is made from an idea I saw on Wendy's site, thankyou wendy for your inspiration

 The Christmas window is made from a decoupage sheet from La Pashe

All of these medallion ones were made with a set of peel offs that I bought when I first started crafting many moons ago, I dont usually like working with peeloffs but I think you will agree these have come out ok

More cards

Here are some cards a group of us made whilst at a cardmakers meet we have over at a friends house that I met on a cardmaking forum, they are a great bunch of ladies

Please scroll down the page to see my challenge cards

This card was made using a brayer, we had great fun making the reflection

Hope you've enjoyed looking

Here is a card for yet another challenge, one day I may get the time to post more than just my challenge cards lol....I have a promarker holder that me and Bri have made to show you with step by step instructions so watch this space!!

Right back to the challenges

Upclose and Personal

The cherry and the chocolate chips have got 'glossy accent's' on to make them 3d

Cute n cuddly

I bet you thought I had forgot about this Shell, but how can I forget one of my bessie mate's 1st challenge!!

I know puddy cats aren't everyones cup of tea  lol ......but I couldnt resist this very cuddly ball of fluff as he looks just like my daughter's cat, he helps me cover two challenges, cute and cuddly from Crazy Challenge oh and while you are there take a look at their fabby crotchet flowers that they are giving away!!

The other challenge is the great sketch I followed so I could put 'puddy' on the card over on MAWTT

Challenge cards

Hi all....I havent had a great deal of time this week but have managed to squeeze some time out for a few challenge cards...here they are


The first one is for Sentimental Sundays challenge which is "for that someone specail", and as my family are very special to me this is what I came up with

Upclose & Personal

The bear was coloured with my promarkers of course lol, the ribbon was threaded through the card then pulled together to make the bow

This card was made for a few challenges and I hope it ticks all the boxes lol....the challenges are "Crazy challenge" their great theme is "Bling".....it also covers "I love promarkers" challenge which is "Wings"
I also added some "fancy edges" for the Fab n funky challenge ....last but not least is the brillliant sketch I followed over on moving along with the times

Thankyou for taking the time to look at my cards, it is really appreciated, dont forget to leave me a comment to tell me what you do (or dont) like

Hello blog friends...I havent been doing much crafting this week as I have been busy with other things, I have been spring cleaning my craft room, but now its all tidy I dont want to mess it up by making cards in there lol.... also over the bank holiday weekend we were working in the garden as we are building a raised bed at the rear of the garden to grow vegetables and salad stuff in, cant wait till its finished and we can get onto the growing stage!!




So as I havent done any cards for challenges yet (notice I said YET) lol .....I thought I would put some cards that I had to hold back as they are for my FIL and I didnt want to spoil the suprise for him, see if you can guess how old he is

I did two cards for him as I wanted to do a "special" one and I did put a jokey verse in this one, its a verse that Brian came up with and it goes like this....

70 yrs have passed you by
Think back on  the good times you’ve had
But when you look in the morning mirror
Doesn’t it make you mad
To see those lines across your brow
All deep and crisp and jagged
Happy 70th birthday old man
My god you’re looking haggered ! ! !







So now you know why I needed a sentimental one as well lol
Here is the other card

Its a "framin" card from La Pashe and as he loves to potter in the potting shed it was ideal for him

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look
