Magnolia week 111

Hello crafters. Obviously had my craft head on this weekend as lots got made and even a challenge.
Magnolia paper piecing I love this technique. Papers were craft creations, a tad of glitter and a windmill. I think the Magnolia is princess Tilda!

Hope you are not all getting washed out with the rain. Be back soon with more xx

Another card for Mum

Hi all sorry I did not post last week, I have no excuse......
This week however not sure where it went but it did. My poor Mum had a fall on Wednesday and has broken her shoulder and is a bit poorly at the moment so she is in St Hellier hospital, so I thought I would make her a card to show off to the nurses etc.

I was a very lucky lady yesterday and to Ashford International Hotel on the Lili of the Valley colouring class with the lovely Jackie and Bev...  wow what a day we had it was fab! more on that later. I had just the stamp to do for my poor Mum, coloured with copics, Polycromo pencils, Doodlebug paper with Martha Stewart deep edge punch and butterfly. The message  is Hero Arts on a stamping up scallop circle punch. Happy crafting and I hope to be back soon. Take care all xx

My mums card

Hello all I hope you are all enjoying another long bank holiday weekend, I could get quite used to this and along with the lovely weather I had an added bonus of my Birthday yesterday. Thanks for all the lovely cards I  received I will show the hand made ones later in the week.

This is the card I made for my Mum for Mothers day but as usual I gave it away before taking a photo, I seem to be doing that a lot lately...... but at least I could get this one back to take a piccie for you.

 I was really pleased with the finished card. The peach flower we made in a much bigger in a class with Jane Gill but I cut all the sizes down and came out with a smaller/tiddly version, using scalloped circles cut up and wound round tweezers to curl and then stuck to daisy petals. The cream flowers were from just two layers of a Woodware punch I am not sure what it was called sorry! the leaves are various Leone em punches and the words are sizzix Wingo Zingo. Oh and I nearly forgot the background edge Martha Stewart arches all round the page.

Here is a closer view of the flowers. Its a bit windy here today down in the south but the sun is still shining. Enjoy you day and happy crafting x

And a challenge.

Woo hoo look at me being a good blogger! Happy Easter

How cute is this little lili of the valley stamp, two bunnies in the bath celebrating Easter - Arhhhh
Coloured with copics the bunnies I coated with flock, papers craft creations, punches woodware, xcut and Martha stewart with a little Gingham ribbon from stash. I am entering this card for two challenges:
Cupcake 139 - Fluffy Bunnies
LOTV'S - challenge 39 Easter
Happy Crafting xx

Mothers Day cards for Easter

Oh well bit behind....
Here are a few of the cards I made for Mothers day for the girls at work to give to their Mums.
Happy Easter All and look what candy I just found    A Bit of Easter Candy!
pop over to Stamping Caz blog to see her candy.

This is a Magnolia I know they dont come in red (or I dont think so) but that was the request! Various punches used, coloured paper and pens, with a tad of patients.

 Another card made a while ago adapted for Mothers day, the original shape card was Craftwork Cards but I now cut my own as I dont think they do them any more. A few Daisy punches and some peel off letters.

 I hope you are all having a lovely sunny Bank Holiday weekend. I have just been for an hours walk in our local park Beddington, its lovely walking in the shade under the trees along the river (wandle) watching all the baby coots, geese and ducks, and the bbq's are out it smelt gorgeous and they nearly got mugged for there food....
enjoy the sun and Happy Crafting xx

Wedding Task

Sorry I have been such a bad blogger! I have no excuse but laziness, been making but not had time to show!
Anyway now I'm back and here is a little project I have just completed for a friends sons wedding which was yesterday and what a lovely day it was down here in the south, hope it was the same for the rest of the country.This was a little something for her daughter in law to be. I tried to tie in the colours of the bridesmaid dresses on the roses and ribbons.

 Of course lots of hearts and a sloppy poem.

And now for the card (Iris folded) This seems to be one of the most popular in my collection, it must be because I hate doing it....... The overall effect is pretty tho!

A day out visiting a new craft shop to me yesterday Art of Craft in Farnborough, such a shame I was disappointed. Too spoilt I suppose with the lovely Glitter Pot. Hope all you crafters who went to Ally Pally had fun and did not spend too many pennies. Happy crafting xx

Happy Birthday June

Sorry not back with Warren rabbit yet! although he is on the way... I thought I would show you the card I made for my mate Junie Moon the other week. The flower and leaves are all made out of one EK sucsess punch with all the shapes on, with a bit of shaping you get a nice simple flower, not as fiddly as the usual floral punch craft. Of course I had to make it in purple her favorite colour. The paper was from Doodlebug and I used a Martha Stewart border punch down the side.

I can not believe we are half way through March and my how the weather has changed, it's so cold again but at least the sun is out. One blink and the weekend has gone again already, please can we have another day! wouldn't it be lovely. Oh well back to work tomorrow to earn some more pennies to pay for some more lovely craft goodies. Have a lovely week x
