Impatience

Morning all on this lovely bright sunny October morning and my is it hot, very bizarre.
This was from a class held last month, no need to say it was Jane Gill I don't think. Who else makes such beautiful flowers.

 I think the candy stripe paper really sets these flowers off, and my dodgy swirls done by hand with perfect pearls, then put my big hand in in before it dried!

Happy Sunday to you all, I have been making Christmas cards the last two days, seems weird in this lovely sunny weather we are having, feels like we are in Australia, with the sun at Christmas. Be back soon xx

Yes im back!

Hello fellow blogger, ok yes I have been missing for a while and im sorry! Any way im back now hope fully with lots to show, and yes the C word is here as we have already started on Christmas....
I had a 70th Birthday card to do for one of the girlies at work (for her Dad) who likes Chelsea. I decided to do a twisted easel card using peel off's sizzix, little Claire's and quikutz dies, a peel off and the good old folded shirt. Thank you June for the loan of the die as I have lost mine........ and the other bits.

It is my intention to be back very soon, lets hope I keep to my word. Happy blogging to you all xx

Floral Punch craft

Hello blogland, sorry a long overdue post!
Another stunning design from Jane Gill is there no end to her talent.... I love making these flowers and as some go these were pretty easy.

 The message was from one of Jane's Woodware set's.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend, down in the south we have managed to escape the rain and Thunder showers so far. Hope to be back soon xx

And one for Dad

Oh my what a thunder storm we had today, but not much cooler!
Here is the card I made for my Dad for Fathers day, featuring little Warren rabbit,from my craftwork card set of stamps. Hope you all watched Julie on QVC last month she was fab, must admit I dont usually watch it but had to tune in to see her with Craftwork Cards, and she will be back on the 12th July I have been told.


I've never made a step card before as never really liked them, but I think it suited this little chap. Papers were from Craft Creations, image coloured with copics and coloured stickles. Just a quick update on Mum who is making a slow but sure recovery and wants to thank you all for the well wishes she has received, and a big thank you from me too. Bye for now and can we please have the sunshine back xx

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
