Dragon in awe.....

Hello and good evening to you all, I hope you are keeping warm and safe in this cold weather. Luckily we have had very little snow ( thank goodness) but lots of rain.

 

 I have actually managed to make a few cards since my last blog, and I will only show them one at a time as I don`t want you all to get bored LOL.

 

The card I am going to show you was for Seemacrafts Challenge blog, but unfortunately Seema has had to close the blog down  due to family commitments and ill health. I would like to wish her all the very best and I have enjoyed my time as DT member using her wonderful digi`s, Thank you Seema. I`m going to miss doing them.

 

I called this "Dragon in Awe" as it looks like he has seen the rainbow for the first time

1. 6x6 white scalloped white card.

2. backing paper from MCS          

3. Seema`s dragon digi                  

4. My mushroom houses digi        

5. Promarkers                                

6. Flowersoft                                 

I overlaid the mushroom houses onto the backing paper and coloured with promarkers, the dragon was also coloured with Promarkers and cut out then added to backing paper with foam pads, then just added a bit of flowersoft.

 

Crimbo cards......

Hello to all my followers and friends.

I have been very bad in updating my blog over the last few months, that has been due to me being ill and having no inclination, interest or stamina to even come on the computer. It got that bad I seriously thought about selling everything.

So I decided to think about it ....... and yes I am staying as a crafter :),

I did manage to make a few Christmas cards before throat infection struck me down then I get a chest infection on top of that, thankfully that has cleared up but throat is still playing up so I am waiting for a referral to hospital and I do have my down days.

 

I have also been very lazy in visiting all your blogs for which I apologise now but hope you understand, I will try better. 

Anyway that's enough of me waffling on here are the cards I did manage to make, thought it better to do one post for all of them otherwise I will still be posting them next month lol.

Good evening to all my followers and friends I hope you have not had the rain that we have had all day and you are all keeping well, sending hugs if you are under the weather.

 

I have been very busy over the last couple of weeks making my samples for the brand new cd from Sue Andrews of Jem`s Designs called......

Sue is on Create and Craft tomorrow 24th at 2pm,

I hope you will be able to watch, if not set that record button. The images are amazing and as you will see from my cards I have not gone over the top with embellishments as I did not want them to take the eye away from the images themselves.

Monochrome

Hi everyone, where has the time gone. Since my last post hubby and I have had 2 fabulous weeks away in Menorca and the weather was wonderful with a couple of spectacular thunder and lightening storms thrown in. One day we were sitting outside and the Red Arrows flew overhead and yes you quessed it my camera was inside the villa, so of course I had to find out why they were there and they were doing a display over Mahon, sorry I cannot remember why. We were very lucky to catch a couple of photo`s of the display as they had to fly over our villa.

The weather on this particular day was cloudy but very muggy and the sun did come out in the afternoon. Now I am sure you do not want to be bored with talk of our holiday.  

It`s time for another monthly challenge over at......

 Seemacrafts Challenge Blog

This month it is Monochrome,
so I hope you will pop on over and join in.
Here are my DT makes

I used Seema`s car digi which I took into MCS to make a backing paper.

 

I used Seema`s Plain Shoe and blinged it up with gems and glitter. The card shape came from Joanna Sheen`s projects page.

 

Pop over to Seema`s blog and see what all the other DT girls have made. Thank you for popping by.

 

Autumn is coming

Hello and welcome to all my crafty friends and followers, I hope this finds you all well, sending hugs if any of you are feeling under the weather.

Before I get onto this months challenge over at Seemacrafts challenge blog, just a little update that some of you may have missed on FB. Just over a week ago I had to go and have my usual eye test and yet again my eyes have changed so new glasses it is. Not only that but the optician also informed me I have the first signs of cataracts in both eyes with the right one being a bit more advanced.

 To say I was shocked was not the word for it and I just wanted to cry, so now instead of 2 years it is now 1 year annual checkup for me. Thank you all for your lovely positive comments that you left me on FB it was really appreciated.

Another reason why I have not been about is I got an order for wedding/evening invites for my Avon lady Sonia, which I have nearly finished just the inserts to do now. I could not believe how long they would take as I had 35 wedding annd 30 evening to do so lots of stamping, punching and die cutting. These I will show in my next post.

Right that enough waffling.

 

This months challenge over at Seemacrafts challenge blog is called

AUTUMN IS COMING......

The images I have used for this one is Girl in puddle, Hedgehogs and Autumn.

You can find Seema`s images  to buy here:-

Jem`s Designs..........

Hi and welcome to all my crafty friends and visitors.

I just do not know where the time has gone, it only seems like 5 minutes ago that I last blogged, how wrong am I lol. You may have wondered ( or I hope you had  lol) where I had disappeared to.

Well I was asked by the lovely Sheenagh Hulin a few weeks ago if I would be on the design team for the new cd`s from Sheenagh Dawn Chorus and Love Hearts( Signature Graphics)and of course Susan Andrews Fantasy Romance(Jem`s Designs) which were on Create & Craft today, Sorry a bit late for my posting.

The images on all the cd`s are truly amazing and were wonderful to work with, I took most of mine into MCS so I could play with the sizes and shapes, of course you can also take them into Serif or any other graphics programmes.

There are quite a few so I hope you are sitting comfortably.... here we go.
