City Crafter Scrap lift challenge

Hello and good morning!

I will leaving for the airport today ... heading for sun and family time ... But before I do ... I am here to post today's challenge at City Crafter brought to us this week by our lovely Kirsty ...

Kirsty has asked us to Scrap Lift this card from our Guest Designer at City Crafter ... Sandi Taloumis

Isn't this just the sweetest? 

... And here is my take on it ...

My image and sentiment are digital from Pink Petticoat  ... I 'painted' the image in photoshop ... and those tiny little buttons were sent to me by Kirsty many moons ago ...

... just waiting for the right place ...

Our wonderful sponsor this week is our lovely past DT member June Lanum ... please pop over to her blog and say Hi ... I know she will really appreciate it ... and also take a minute to check out the rest of the DT work ... 

Ok I have to be off ... I really hope you will play along with us this week ... I will be keeping in touch and visiting your blogs ...

Have a wonderful week and stay safe

Hugs

Jingle Belles Card 39

Hello sweet friends ...

Thank you all so much for your kind words, your thoughts and your prayers following the loss of my Uncle  ... it means a lot to know people care ...

I went to club night on Thursday and maybe it was my imagination but I seemed to get far more hugs than usual ... it was so lovely ... the class was extremely busy ... and though they may be mentally and physically challenge ... they have such compassion and love ... it lifted my spirits no end ...

I have my 39th card done for this weeks' challenge at Jingle Belles Rock the prompt this week being "Here Comes Suzy Snowflake" brought to us by Marie Bingaman based on the Rosemary Clooney song ... I confess that my creative mojo has been up in the air somewhere these past few days .. not good when trying to finish my DT projects before I go away ... sort out projects for the club and keep up with Jingle Belles ... But I did come up with something ...

I thought this Bo Bunny sticker was quite apt ... I like to adhere these to CS first ...

Some glitter card and a felt cut snowflake ... (glittered of course) ... backed onto some lovely satin ribbon

complete a simple card ... and just for a little more bling ... a crystal drop and a pretty star shaped jewel

(an odd earring actually!)

It's a dull wet day here so my photos are not too brilliant ... Never mind ... next week I will be soaking up some sunshine and relaxing (I hope) ... 

Have a wonderful weekend ... and thanks so much for stopping by

I want to thank all of you who sent well wishes and prayers for my sweet Uncle Terry ... sadly he passed away yesterday morning ...

He never left the hospital and my Aunt was by his side ... In her words .. she has lost her soul mate ... the love of her life ... my heart aches for her ...

Shabby Chic Girls Club

Hello ...

I just wanted to say a big Thank You to sweet Cindy Adkins  for featuring one of my early projects on her new blog The Shabby Chic Girls Club ... I am honoured to be amongst the creative talent featured here ...

Cindy has a link party for anyone to link up one or more of their shabby/vintage creations past or present ... I'm joining the party ... and having given it some thought ... there are three things I created that I love ... My Vintage Horseshoe 

The original post can be found Here

...  This sewing plaque ...

And this Bird's nest plaque that still hangs on my door

The original post can be found Here

So if you haven't visited her lovely new blog ... pop over and check it out ... it's pretty and fun too ...

The other shout out today is to the lovely Smilyn Stef who takes the time and trouble every week to seek out her Link Loves ... so many ideas... freebies ... and tutorials ... As you know I hold a class once a week for mentally and physically challenge adults and it can be so hard to come up with a project each week that they can cope with ... even using glue is a problem and many times my brain runs dry of ideas ... So I trawl the Links on Stef's side bar and usually something pops into my head ... ok .. maybe I need to readjust or alter ... maybe I need to make the bulk of it ... but the inspiration starts to flow ... 

I love to go through these links ... see the variety of talent and ideas from recipes to art ... 

Thank You Stef

Tomorrow my group will be making PocketMods ... With pretty covers ... Never heard of them?? Ok click Here for the link ... and why not pop over to Stef's blog to check out her Link Loves every Thursday  they're fabulous ...

Till soon my friends ... enjoy your day

"Lets Face The Music"

Hello ... Good Morning!

I am hosting the challenge at City Crafter this week and this is your inspiration picture 

Because this week I am asking that you use anything Music related on your projects ... This can be a charm, sheet music, an image etc., Music is the universal language ... where would we be without it?  I have a penchant for anything with sheet music and I love listening to music ... So for my project, I wanted to revisit the piano box I made HERE and maybe tweak it a little ... Warning! there are a lot of pictures 

you may be able to see that the thing I 'tweaked' was the keyboard ... now it sits neatly ... I used a WaltzingMouse stamp for the keys and glossy accents to make them shine

I'm not sure if you can see it but I also glossed the top of the piano

A piece of doily sits on top and I made a little framed picture and a tiny letter which nestles behind a glittered rose also made from sheet music

Sheet music lines the inside of the box too

Then I remembered a black glass frame I bought ages ago in a sale for £1 ... It's not the easiest thing to photograph though

All I needed to add to this was some more sheet music roses, some pearl stems, a ribbon and a pretty butterfly

I love how these look on my glass table

... and I can't wait to see what YOU come up with ... 

For more inspiration just hop over to the blog to see the rest of the DT work and that of our wonderful guest designer this week Jill Sargison ... and we have Pixie Dust Paperie  kindly sponsoring once again

Till soon ... keep safe
