Happy Anniversary

Hi there ...

Yesterday was my brother Rick's birthday ... today another of my brothers celebrates their wedding Anniversary ... 

 Happy Anniversary Ron and Pauline

This is the card I made for them

Actually it's more for my SIL ... she loves soft pretty colours and guys don't really bother that much do they?

 Prima papers and flower...  a stamp from WaltzingMouse and some trims from my stash

That's all for today ... I'm off to see my Chiropractor but I'll be back tomorrow with a new challenge at City Crafter ... hope you'll join me

Have a lovely day

Happy Birthday and Jingle belles Card 46

Good morning ....

It's Remembrance Sunday here in the UK and it also happens to be my brother's 60th Birthday

Happy Birthday Rick ...

This is the card I made for him 

Kind of a nautical theme because he was once in the Royal Navy ... followed his fathers footsteps as did my brother Bill who is still in the RN

That lovely image is from Made By Janet at Etsy

I also have my 46th card for Jingle Belles Rock to share ... This week we are asked to use stickers on our card ... easy one ... Don't we all have stickers around? ... and Jingle Belles this week are being joined by E.A.D. Designs who are offering a prize this week ... so hop over to the blog for all the details and feast on the lovely DT creations ...

One of the blogs I follow is that of Beate who gives wonderful tutorials and when I saw her pocket card  I was smitten ... So that's what I did this week

Using papers from Melissa Frances and some stickers from my stash ... 

The sweet little stocking is a 3D sticker that I stuck to a piece card first ... then punched a hole in and tied it to the holly together with a little bell 

This is the inside tag stamped with a sentiment from WaltzingMouse "Compliments of the Season"  ... one of my all time favourites ... and again a couple more 3D stickers ... I love this pocket card so much that I'm going to make a lot more ... Well, there are only a few weeks left you know ...

Thanks so much for visiting today ...

Till soon

Happy Birthday Friend

Hello there ...

Today 11/11/11 is of course Armistice Day ...

My thoughts are with all those people who have lost loved ones ... be them military or civilian 

Today is also my friend's birthday and paid her a visit ...

This is the card I made for her

It's a very dark and dull day here so I am struggling with photographs ... 

Those lovely images are from the Graphic Fairy 

and of course I had to give her a little handmade something with her gift so I made her a little sticky note holder

... and a little mini album made from one piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper ... for her to decorate and add pictures of her grandchildren ...

as you can see there are 3 pockets with tags in too ...

If you click to enlarge you can see the little charm on the notebook ... a sweet little bird and birdcage ... Can you believe this was an earring? 

My friend was thrilled with her gifts and it was good to catch up ...

I would also like to say a big Thank You to sweet generous Cindy Adkins not only for this lovely Blog Award

But for picking me as a winner in her give away ... I can hardly wait to receive the beautiful book she created ... Many Thanks Cindy

I hope you are having a lovely day ...

Till soon keep safe

City Crafter **Thanks** giving

Good morning friends ...

Our hostess this week at City Crafter is sweet Cheryl and she has asked that we make a Thank you card or a handmade gift ... I kinda chose to go with both

... and made a set ... a card, notebook and a decorated lunch bag to put them in ...

This is the card

Very girlie don't you think? 

... and the notebook

... and the bag (thanks to Kirsty for sending me a whole lot of these)

Now how would you like a chance to be a Guest Designer at City Crafter? 

Well you can ... that's the prize up for grabs this week ... and it's an easy peasy challenge

Hop on over to the blog and be inspired by the rest of the DT's projects and this weeks' fabulous Guest Designer Laurie Schmidlin ... I'm sure many of you are familiar with Laurie's work ... if not you really need to pay her a visit ... she is incredibly talented!

Have I convinced you to play along? I hope so ...

Thanks ever so much for visiting me this morning ... have a lovely day

Jingle Belles card 45 ...

Hello!

Thanks ever so much for your sweet comments on my mixed media in the previous post ... I really appreciate and welcome your comments ... 

It's a cold and frosty morning here in Liverpool ... people have been scrapping the ice from their cars and in the bright sunlight ... the white ground looked quite pretty ... I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures but I know there will be plenty more mornings like this... Brrrrrr! 


I have my 45th card for the Jingle Belles Rock challenge to share ... This week the theme is "Clear" ... use at least one see through element ... I chose to use a beautiful scene from the Graphics Fairy ... added some flower soft for snow and some acetate ...

MME paper again, a little sentiment from Melissa Frances Deck the Halls everything else is from my stash

I have to show that image again ... just love it ... are you seeing the 'snow'?

I'll be back tomorrow with the new challenge at CCCB ... have a lovely day
