Bird house Card

Hi there....
hope all is well with you....... I've been busy these past few days... had family over today which meant that my posting was late....
I needed to make a card for a friend who has just moved house and I was inspired by the challenge this week at  the Play Date Cafe ... what a pretty picture and so many colours to choose from!

This is what I came up with....

A house shaped card which can be found Here .......

I know this picture looks greenish... but the paper is from Basic Grey (Cupcake range) and I can assure you it has quite a bit of bright yellow in it so I don't know why that is.

Just a little close up so you can see the lovely lace, ric-rac, ticket and even the blue flowered button which all come from my dear friend Kirsty ... you can get these from her Etsy shop Here.

Enjoy your weekend my friends and thank you so much for your lovely comments ...

Till soon

Little Miracles ...

I have a few things to share ....


Firstly a big THANK YOU to Picture Perfect Creations for choosing my card for the "Grand Creations Winner" .. colour combo 19. I never expected that and I am so very thrilled...

Next I have a card to share that I made for Flutterby Wednesday ... a new blogspot that I found ..

The challenge is to use Angels, Fairies or Butterflies... right up my street I should think...

A sweet lil' dancing fairy, with glittered wings, glittery lace and of course a glittered button to match... Well why not?

And lastly but perhaps the best thing I have to share with you is a little miracle from last night... 
As you know I teach crafting to a group of mentally and physically challenged 'wonderful' people, each Thursday evening... One of my group, a beautiful young lady, usually just scribbles or enjoys sticking anything and everything down - then dumps her creations ... (doesn't like to take them home) but we usually retrieve them and give them to her Mum. Last night I gave her some glue and some stickers along with her usual paper and pencils and sat a while laughing with her (not that she converses). At the end of the evening she came over to me and handed me this card ....

She actually "Told" me that she made it for ME!! .. It totally blew me away..... I will treasure this and her words to me...

God makes his presence known in the sweetest of ways .......

Thank you for all your comments and your continued support of my efforts ....

Till soon

Life is a challenge .....

Hello friends... how's your day been?

I made a little card for the Shabby Tea Room challenge ... "Lets Make an Impression" ... dry or wet embossing required ... Using the sketch from the JUGS challenge .... Don't own any JustRight goodies I'm afraid ...

Little heat embossed butterflies, lace and tulle and a lot of pink ......

I was fortunate enough to win a "Cream in Our Coffee" award today for which I thank the PlayDate Cafe.

My dear Friend Sara came to visit today and her sweet calming nature lifted my spirit as does this world of creating, your comments and most of all your company. Me and my troubled heart are off to create with my "Happy" group at the Thursday club, so till soon

Keep safe

Something Simple

 Well blogger finally got over himself and all seems to be working well....
I even got to change my 'look' ... what do you think? Is pink my colour?


Today I have a little card for Picture Perfect Creation colour combo challenge ... These are the colours for this weeks' challenge....

Colours usually speak to me.... these spoke of simplicity......

Some embossing, both digital and rubber stamps used .. ribbon, buttons and a fabric heart. Note - not a trace of glitter....

Have a wonderful day....

Comments...

Just a quick note to say that Blogger must be so shocked about my news that it is refusing to post my comments!! So thank you to those of you who have left well wishes... Hopefully Blogger will get over it.
