JUST TO SAY

Hi Everyone

I hope your weather was a bit more exciting than mine was today!

The other day when I purchased that lovely Christmas wreath download I got some others alongside .. .. .. using a 30% off voucher that was available if you purchased five images.  

The problem wasn't deciding which five I would like .. .. there were lots of beauties .. .. the hard part was deciding which five I would like the most.

This image was one of my "must haves" simply because I knew I would really enjoy colouring it (even though it is available as a pre-coloured image):

This used:

Image:  WhimsyDreamsClipart:  "Whimsical Flowers"
Sentiment:  LOTV Embossed Labels
Backing Papers:  First Edition Papers "Blank Canvas"
ProMarkers
Ribbon
Spellbinder Circle Dies
Nail Heads
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is my share for today.  I am already thinking what other colours I want to use on my next play with this image.  

Take care everyone .. .. .. especially if you are in any of the scary COVID danger zones .. .. .. though to be fair any of us could be without even knowing.  

Stay safe.

GOING A BIT DOTTY

Hi Everyone

I hope your week has got off to a good start.

Once back from Mum's this evening I managed a quick crafty play and produced this:

This used:

Image:  LOTV:  If Friends Were Flowers
Sentiment:  LOTV:  Sketchy Wishes
Backing Papers from my snippet mountain  (trying really hard to reduce these drastically)
Corner Rounding Punch
ProMarkers
Ribbon
Crystal Glamour Dust

and that is me for today.

Many thanks for the lovely comments and emails regarding my first sewing tutorial yesterday.  So chuffed that some folk feel I may be able to help them to start sewing on their creations.

I will be back tomorrow with Step Two.

Until then I will love and leave you.

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

I hope you have enjoyed your weekend.

Mine has been a busy crafty one but I had time to pull in a quick card using just a few of my never ending snippets.

This used:

Sizzix Die Set "Wildflower Stems 2"
Sentiment:  Lili of the Valley
A mixture of Embossing Powders
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Snippets
Sparkly Dome Stickers

This card is a bit of a strange size .. .. a bit like a short fat scrapling card.  But as I have lots of white card to use up any size is good.

The flowers are green card that was heat embossed with a variety of embossing powders, some plain, some clear, some metallic and some sparkly.  I love just sprinkling them on and seeing what the results are.

A new challenge has just started over at Pixie's Snippets Playground where we are encouraged to use up our leftovers .. .. ..  so I am skipping over there with my creation as everything was part of my snippet collection other than the sentiment and the dome stickers.

Enjoy your new week when it starts.  I wonder what changes, if any, this one will hold.

Catch you soon

.

JUST TO SAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all as good as you can be under the circumstances.

Just a quick share from me this evening that has used up papers that were left on the back of my desk after making a very similar card last week.

This used:

Image and sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique "A4 Quick Print Colour Sheet - Butterflies" (very sadly no longer trading boo hoo!!)

Backing Papers:  Not sure which pads they came from .. .. .. but they were from The Works - when they were allowed to be open.

Circle and Scallop Circle Dies

Ribbon and Cord

Eyelet and Eyelet Setter

My Trusty Sewing Machine

So that is me for today.  Short and sweet.

I'll hopefully catch you again tomorrow.

  

JUST TO SAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Sunday!

Up with the lark today as there is a lot I need to complete before the end of the month .. .. I woke up early which meant my mind was mulling over everything .. .. and whilst you are lying there thinking about it you might as well be doing it .. ...  well that's my theory anyway!!

So whilst enjoying my first cup of coffee I thought I would share a card I made for my Auntie.  She had knee replacement surgery a few days ago .. .. .. so many staples and bruises!!  Ouchie!!  But she is doing well and the swelling is slowly starting to disappear. 

This little bunny cheered her up though:

This used:

Image:  LOTV "Little Friends Rabbit with Daisy"

Sentiment:  Computer generated using font "Candy Round BTN"

Backing Paper:  First Edition "Mariposa" (love this pad .. .. such scrummy colours)

ProMarkers

Ribbon

My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is it.

Enjoy your day everyone.  If yours is starting anything like mine it looks like it is going to be another "very wet and windy" day .. .. and one where you hope not to have to venture out of the front door!
