The Sky is the Limit

Another special birthday for a special man

he loves aeroplanes and art, so I sponged on some ink,

and decoupaged the plane

decorated the inside

added an acetate propeller on a brad

and a couple of brads on the banner

Rudolph Day Challenge

Hello again,

sorry if I haven't visited you lately,

so much going on that I don't seem to get time,

and I know lots of you are in the same boat.

Anyhow, I am determined not to miss the first Rudolph Day of the year,

luckily I'd coloured in some images with my as yet unused 

Merry Mice.

I rummaged for my music paper, from This Christmas,

found a snippet of that and a snippet from Warmth and Cheer,

stamped some fa la la's and sentiment from a 

Kirsty Wiseman Many Greetings that I won

from the Snippets Playground.

So, here's the link to Rudolph Day Challenge,

and I wonder if Miss Di will let me into the

Snippets Playground to play there too.

Do visit them both, there's lots of lovely projects on show

Have a great weekend

Celebrations Duo

Sharing my swap for our team training day

 (aka day of fun with friends :) )

I spotted this new embossing folder straight away in the new catalogue,

as it's unusual....it's a DEbossed impression

and great for getting inky or doing all sorts of fab techniques

I used a brush stroke and some ink splats from Perpetual Birthday Calendar

added some wink of stella on the Happy, a strip of card with twine wrapped round it

I mounted one on a card I need for a boy....I could have chosen any of the In-Colours

Watermelon, Cucumber, Dijon

Hope you have a HAPPY day

Exploding Box

I was commissioned to make a special box for a special day for a special man....

I had these lovely old papers that are more like thick card,

and suitable for a masculine look

I made pockets and inserted tags

and placed an acetate box in the centre

Here's the box closed

Birthday seeds

Another Birthday before christmas, my desk covered in xmas sets,

so I combined the Cable Knit embossing folder with a xmas DSP and sentiment,

cut and pasted "birthday" over the top,

and copied a seed catalogue off the internet.

He has an allotment.....

Heartfelt and Thoughtful

I stamped the sentiment (Heartfelt Sympathy) which is surrounded by leaves,

and thought it looked like the shape of a tree canopy

so I found the trunk in another set (Thoughtful Branches)

and the cute birds too.....It's like they're together even though one has passed

The blue colour is used by Parkinson's UK, from which he suffered

World of Dreams

A new home card.....with a twist

being bird lovers I decided to use the nest instead of a conventional house

I used marker pens to paint the colours on the stamp

Spotlight

A Birthday before christmas required a quick but elegant card,

so I tried the spotlight technique

added coordinating DSP

something was missing.....so added the 'for you' top left

I used the stitched oval framelits, and watercoloured the flower with

the clear wink of stella and coordinating ink

Beautiful You in the Mediterranean

I'd wanted to try this out  ever since I saw it.....

I stamped the lady, masked her off with a sticky note,

then stamped the scene over the top.

Remove the mask and you are left with the first image in the foreground.

I then had fun colouring it in with pencils.

If you'd like to order these sets online,

you can claim a free gift for every £45 you spend,

PLUS use the Hostess Code A36CH47C and get an extra gift from me :)

Heartfelt gold and enamel

I got out this set which has sentiments that need very little added

sometimes there are no words

I embossed in gold and stamped splatters, then hearts, 

then some enamel shapes to add more texture

Hugs if you're feeling sad

Any Occasion Stamp Set

Christmas remnants

Hello, thanks for popping by!
I have a few photos left from the festive season, so thought I'd share them.

This was a kit, making different displays for the changing seasons.

It makes a lovely display in my Craft Room

a special card from a special lady, much prettier in real life,

it's magical Jan Twinks

a card made in a shoe box swap that I really liked,

and would like to make some more with the tea light idea

casting a flickering light

Did anyone suffer this wrapping paper?! flippin' glitter everywhere!

This was the table centrepiece.....an explosion box

with Santa's sleigh, Reindeers and a few parcels,

lit up by some star shaped fairy lights

This fluttered by on top of one of our parcels,

isn't he gorgeous?!

He's safely tucked up in his nest box until next year!

Hopefully I'll see some of you on Rudolph Day (25th of the month)

to share some christmas makes for this year!
