More ...

Me again ... second time today ... 
I have another card - this time for 2 challenges .... CardPatterns  which is a sketch challenge ...

... and ...  Picture Perfect Creations colour challenge ...

... My card ...

I've had this peach coloured lace for the longest time and finally got to use it ... the little snowdrops are glittered as well as the flowers ...

Don't think it shows up though ... The papers are digital (again) ... from Sande Kreiger called 'Farmers Market" ....
I'm off to visit you all now ... boy I'm having fun today! .. Hope you are too ...

Caardvark Challenge ...

Hi ...
Hope all is well with you and you are enjoying your weekend ... My Sunday started early - my husband left for his golf trip which very nearly got called off last night ... One of their group had a bad fall and had to go to the A&E ... thankfully he is not too bad and able to travel (not sure about golfing though) ... which is a relief for me as well ... (if you'd have seen my hubby's face last night - you'd understand) ... So it was all smiles as I dropped him off this morning ...
That meant I got the chance to make a little card for the Caarvarks challenge which finishes tonight .. It's a sketch challenge sponsored by the very talented Tiffany of Tiffany Doodles  ... (great digital stamps)... There are 2 sketches to choose from and I chose this one ...

Here's my card ...

I'm always tempted to add buttons and ribbons and lace and more! But I guess with a sketch challenge you kind of have to use a little restraint just so as you can identify the sketch ... (she says adding a bow) .. and I did use some glitter on my tissue paper flower ...

Well ... it does say "Treat" ... 

Till soon

A little bit of lilac ..

Hello .. Just popping in with a couple of cards to share ... 

This one has a little tag so I can enter it in the Shabby Tea Room challenge this week ... It's been ages since I got to enter ... The DT over at TSTR have done some fabulous creations ... and Tracey Clark this weeks' GD has done an amazing card .. she makes such gorgeous creations! 

I used one of my treasured doilies from Lynnda ... I just love them ... and had to glitter it all up ... This image reminds me of being a little girl ... and of my Mum ..

Next up is a Thankyou card ... 

I used my spellbinder dies to cut the card edge ... a bit of glitter on the chipboard frame ... embellies and some organza .... here's a close up of the pretty organza ..

My hubby is off to watch the football match this afternoon and then leaves tomorrow for a golfing holiday in France ... so I get to craft to my hearts content ...

Have a lovely weekend

till soon

Blackbird

A couple of things today ... I finally got to finish a project for the new challenge over at The Play Date Cafe ... a colour splash challenge ... This means black and white with a splash of the colour given ( this week there is a choice of 3 splash colours , copper, gold or pink). This is the beautiful inspirational picture ...

 The DT have done some fabulous creations .. pop over and take a look ...

I went with the gold ... I wasn't sure what I was going to do and then a light went on ... literally! 

I came up with a lamp ... I got to use my Tim Holtz  birdcage die for the first time and Love it! I went with a blackbird ... black and white vellum, black cardstock (to make the base) and gold trim using my spellbinders and mirri card ...

This is the light that goes inside ... It is one of those 'click and stick' lights that are not expensive and use a battery ... However I also can fit a glass jar inside should I want to use a tea light ...
It wasn't easy to photograph the lamp with the light on so excuse the next picture ... a bit blurry but just so you can see ...

I added some black crystals and some clear gems, a little flower and some brads ... Not a masterpiece but I had fun making it ... 

Club night went well though we were missing a few people ... thought you might like to see a couple of pictures ...

Me (5th from L) with some of my group, my friend Lynn (3rd from R) and some support workers ..

Working away ...

And these are masterpieces! 

Have a lovely day ...
Till soon

Heartfelt Thanks ...

I don't quite know where to begin ... See these lovely things 

... and these ...

Well, all these arrived today from Cheryl ... my friend and colleague at CCCB ... I won these from her blog ...  and I am just blown away by her generosity .... 

I mentioned in my post regarding the Jar Swap that I would be sharing my things with my Thursday group  and when these lovely ladies  June Lanum ... Deb Hickman and Stella ... read about it they each contacted me offering to send things that we could use ... 

I struggle to put into words just how your kindness and friendships make me feel ... how blessed I am ... I can tell you that my heart feels so full ... it could burst! I can tell you that my tears are those of joy ... and I can tell you that my group and I are very grateful ... Thank you! 

I did a brief post Here about Thursday club should you wish to read it ... 

I know Cheryl will be happy for me to share this bundle too .... Club starts again tonight and I am looking forward to seeing each and everyone of the beautiful people I have come to love with all my heart ... 

Till soon ... Bless you all
