Isabella.....

Good morning all, and a very big welcome to my new followers.

Over the weekend I had a tidy up in the craftroom before decorating ( no not started yet)and came across some old cd`s and straight away I thought I could do something with these, so now they are safely tucked away in my drawer for future use, except for one which I have had a play with, and what better than to use a photo of my gorgeous great granddaughter.

I was lucky to have some lace sent to me by the lovely Lindsay, Thank you.

So out came my lace stash to see what I could come up with. I hope you like it.
Wall hanging.

 

 

My granddaughter loves pink, I used 3 lots of lace. Pink on the outside then white and pink and white in the centre. Printed the photo then diecut with Stately Circles and backed with pink card. Flourish diecuts added, Bow with pearls, flowers from stash.

Roses are Red.........

Good afternoon everyone, yesterday we had cloud all day not happy at that, but woke up this morning its glorious sunshine woohoo. Unfortunately have not been unable to enjoy it yet as the dreaded h.......k got in the way so too compensate for that I took some short breaks in between and made a card..... like you would lol.

The last few weeks I have been playing with the cd`s for Jem`s Designs and making samples for their up and coming shows, no I cannot show you them... yet..., so I thought I would brush the dust off my Promarkers which have been sorely neglected tut tut I hear you all say lol.

Then I had to choose what image I was going to use, after a lot of time spent last evening looking at stamps and images, I finally decided to use one of my own digi`s... Rose. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed colouring in.  I still need loads of practise.
To set the image off I used black card for the base and stamped and clear embossed it.
The spine of the card has also a different look called Braided Card technique which I found on Pinterest and just had to have a go, you can find it here. Yes it is so easy.
I also used Spellbinders Timeless rectangles and ribbon from my stash. I shall add a sentiment when I know what it will be for.

Thank you all for popping by......

 

 

 

Just a Note........

Wow another week has gone by so quickly, another weekend nearly upon us and I have not got done what I wanted too, oh well there`s always next week lol.

 

Made this card last week and would you believe it got lost among all the papers on my desk oops. I bought some of Ali Reeves templates and thought I would have a play after watching her on C & C. For this I used a 5 x 5 scalloped card and placed the template onto the card and used Tattered Rose to ink the inside of template then stamped the poppy ( very kindly given to me by the lovely Lindsay ) with Memento black tuxedo then wrote Just a Note in the corner. I`m not sure if I need to add anything else!!!!!!!

 

Now before I go just a little update on my granddaughter Ashley, She is still having dialysis 3 times a week, so at times she does get depressed as she has to watch how much she drinks and has to be careful around anyone who may be unwell themselves.

 

To say I am so PROUD of her is an understatement. I love you so much.

Oooops nearly forgot my great granddaughter Isabella is now 2 months old  and weighs 7lb and she is coming on in leaps and bounds even if she did sleep most of the time while she was here today.

Finally managed to get one or two photo`s when she did open her eyes lol. beside her is the little teddy that hubby bought her and yes it does have Arsenal on, we have to start her early lol.
