WaltzingMouse World Card Day Challenge

Hello there ...
just popping in with a card for World Card Day and a challenge set by Clare at WaltzingMouse ... who has also given us a free digital stamp "Harriet" ... Unfortunately I do not have any copics or the like but I did want to play along ... so I coloured Harriet in Photoshop ... not by any means a masterpiece ... but hey, I tried .... Here's my card ...

I toyed with using different papers but decided just to use the one from MME Signature Christmas glitter paper ... I added a piece of lace to some pretty flocked ribbon and also used a Rubon ... I did glitter the fur on her coat too ....

I'm hoping to get a card done for this weeks' WM challenge too ... the light is fading here though and it's turning cold ... so whilst I may get to play and stay warm in my little craft room ... I can't photograph till tomorrow ...

Hope you've all enjoyed your Saturday ....

Till soon

Thank you June ...

Sweet June honoured me with this award ... Thank you so much for thinking of me ...

Well versatile is definitely me .... And I have to tell 7 truths about myself .... ok ...
1. I love to create .... anything and everything
2. I love animals and nature
3. I hate any form of cruelty or injustice
4. I am honest and loyal
5. I am organised and tidy but definitely not a neat freak ... ( note to self ... never go to stay with June or Stella) ... (or invite them to stay)
6. I love to help people 
7. I am terrified of heights
I also have to pass this on to 7 other people ... I'm going to pass on this and say that there are too many lovely people out there who have made me smile on many a dark day ... I dedicate this to all of you.


I have a little card to share too .... 

Just using up some scraps .....


Have a lovely day


Till soon

True Beauty comes from within ...

... and my friends have it abundance ... Just look at all this - that arrived today ...

.. all just in time for my Thursday club tonight .... and this gorgeous card ...

... you can tell by this oh so stylish card, that it all came from Stella ... Thank you so much dear friend ...

I am so very grateful for your kindness, your huge heart of gold ... and for your friendship ....

I have also finally made a card for the new challenge at Picture Perfect Creations .. this is the colour combo ..

Gorgeous colours yet for a while they had me beat ... but then I came up with this ...

This gorgeous Lipstick stamp and the sentiment are digital from Tiffany Doodles ... the border stamp is from WaltzingMouse  ... the rest is from my stash ...

... Not sure if you can see the glossy accents on the lipstick .... So pleased that I finally got this card done!

Have a lovely evening

Pretty pearls ...

 The sun is shining here ... a crisp autumnal day ... it was on days like this that I loved to walk down by the river at Pickerings Pasture with my beautiful German Shepherd Holly and before her ... beautiful Kelly ... (my profile picture was taken here) ... At this time of year it is a meeting place for literally hundreds of Canadian geese ... We would hear them long before they swooped in .. a formation team that never failed to take my breath away ... the constant chatter amongst them echoing around the quiet stillness of this peaceful place ... How I miss it ... 

Yet somehow, without my girlies by my side I can no longer face it ... I still hear the geese flying over early in the morning and nod a silent hello ...

I  have a card to share today ... I made this for the Shabby Tea Room challenge where the very talented Clare  .. is hosting and has provided this gorgeous picture ..

... and I used the sketch from the new challenge over at Card Patterns ... 

I'm not always good with sketches ... my mind always wants to take me somewhere else ...

So this is my card ...

I covered a little wooden heart ( there's a song in there somewhere) ... with pearls and beads and glitter ..

I sprayed the card with glimmer mist too but I don't think you can see that ...

Before I go I just want to thank the gals over at The Play Date Cafe ... I got a "Cream in our Coffee" award for this card which I am thrilled about ... Thank you!

I need to get organised for my club night soon ... so have a great day everyone

Till soon

Piano Music ...

Hi ...
I've been creating this afternoon ... a little image just popped into my head and I had to go with it ... My friend really liked This  ... so I decided to make her one ... But ...a little different ... she loves her piano lessons and hearing the piano being played ... so ....

A piano box! ... Like to see some more pictures? 

All made in card and backed with chipboard to strength it ... I decorated the 'piano' lid with stickers, rubons, flowers, leaves, butterfly and mini music sheet (done on the computer). Beads and buttons serve for "legs" ... and I used my Waltzingmouse stamp to make the keys ... I also covered the 'keys' in self adhesive clear plastic to make them shine. Well, what do you think? I'd love to know ...

Don't forget to check out the new challenge at City Crafters today ...

Enjoy your evening...

Flowers and Frills ...

Good morning ...
I am hosting the challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog this week and the theme is Flower and Frills ... make a card or project using flower(s) and either some lace or a doily ...

Our current swap on City Crafter Party Blog is for lace and doilies ... so I thought it would be good to go with this theme ... 

Our Guest Designer this week is Karli ... please pop over and say hello and check out her lovely card too... along with the rest of the DT ... they have done some lovely cards to give you inspiration ...

I used some Basic Grey paper that I have had for ages ... I love this range (Scarlet's Letter) and bought lots of it at the time .... The flower is actually from a necklace and the rest is from my stash ... the little bird is made from wood and covered in material (from the Hobby Shop) which matches my ribbon ...

I hope you will join our challenge this week and look forward to seeing you ...

Have a lovely day
