Spring Bringer

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

Just have a quick card to share today.

I made this card for the birthday of my best friends youngest daughter who's birthday it was last week.


The papers are again from my scraps pile....the image is a Wee Card Topper from The Hobby House called ~ Spring Bringer. These are such sweet images and they are some of my favourite card toppers. The pearls and pearl string flowers are also from The Hobby House. The image is computer generated and I added lots of Stickles to her wings for some sparkle and bling.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Have a lovely day.

Vroom....Vroom....Vroom!!!

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

Today I have a card to share....Again I created this card as part of a set and my card is the last item in this set.

The Card


And The Rest Of The Set


(I have already posted my other makes earlier on my blog)

The image is a Kenny K Topper from The Hobby House called ~ It's A Guy Thing!. The papers are from my scraps stash and the cogs and wheels, twine and buttons were also from The Hobby House. I finished my card by adding a computer generated sentiment.

Now I'm really not very good at cards for Men/Boys and I find it so difficult to find my Mojo to work for me but I have to say I really enjoyed putting this little set together and I'm thrilled with how it turned out......I can see more sets coming this way in the future.


I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:~

Fab'n'Funky Challenges ~ # 204 ~ Spots Or Stripes
Kaboodle Doodles ~ # 211 ~ Use Buttons And Twine

Winter Walkies

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

So it's Friday once again and time for a new challenge over at


Winter Wonderland


Our theme this week is 


THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
(it's an easy one to get you started ....just create a Christmas card or project).


And here is my DT card


We are sponsored this week by 

The Ribbon Girl


and the lucky winner will receive a £10 voucher to spend in their online store :)



Don't forget to pop over to the main challenge blog to take a peek at the lovely creations the rest of the DT have made for your inspiration.

This is my first Christmas card of the year so it is very simple.....just to start me off. 

I used this cute topper from Lili Of The Valley which I've had for quite some time. The papers are from my scraps box and I just added some red Bazzil card to mat and layer. The pearl string flowers and pearls are from The Hobby House and I finished off by adding lots of sparkle and bling to her hat and coat and of course the snow.

Pinks & Pearls

Good evening everyone.

I hope you are well.

Well what a day I've had.....Dentists, Doctors, Physiotherapist.....busy, busy, busy!

Today I have another of my giant altered pegs to share.





I have made this for a young lady's birthday, so I hope she likes it......I thought pinks would suit her very well.

I decorated the peg with the same papers that I used for her card.....there were just enough pieces to cover the job. The roses, flowers and pins are a mixture from Wild Orchid Crafts and The Hobby House. 

I just love decorating these giants pegs and they always turn out so well.....I don't always want to give them away.....so I have made one or two for my own craft room now. They are perfect for keeping all my notes together.


I would like to enter my decorated peg into the following challenges:~

All Crafts Challenge ~ Anything But A Card
Crafting From The Heart ~ Anything Goes/Use Flowers
Craft Your Passion ~ Girly Girl
The ABC Challenge ~ F Is For Flowers
 
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Hopeful

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

Today I would like to share a tag that I made a while back and had forgotten about.




I created this tag to go with a selection of other items that I made which can be seen over at The Hobby House.

The image is from one of my favourite Wee Card Topper sets ~ Hopeful. The pearls string, pearl adhesive swirls, ribbons and the roses can all be found over at The Hobby House too. The papers are from Lili Of The Valley. 

Here are the rest of the pieces I made to go with the set which I have already posted separately on my blog in the past.




I wish now I'd included some of the LOTV papers on the tag to tie it in more with the rest of the set but never mind we live and learn don't we.....I don't think my original intention was to create a set so they didn't turn out too badly together.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Have a lovely day.

Oh Boy!

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all well.

Today I want to share another make with you.

Again it's another make for a boy.....don't ask me what's going on as I'm not quite sure, boy makes really aren't my thing but here goes.....Don't stop me now.....I'm on a roll.....




This tin started life as a present with soaps inside and once I'd emptied it and used up the original contents I bunged it away in a drawer thinking that I would decorate it with all things pretty and girly.....well as you can see.....Not So!!!!

I decided to decorate it with all things 'Boy' papers, buttons, cogs and wheels etc....

The papers are from my stash and the image is a Kenny K Topper from The Hobby House called ~ It's A Guy Thing. The border punch is from Martha Stewart and I added some cogs/wheels and some buttons to finish. The sentiment is computer generated.


I would like to enter my altered tin into the following challenges:~

A Little Bit Crafty ~ Man Up!
Creative Knockouts ~ # 24 ~ Spots & Dots


Thank you so much for taking the time to pop by. 

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely comments.

Have a lovely evening and keep warm.
