Wedding Invites

Good afternoon to you all, hope you are all keeping well and you have not had that awful white stuff, we have had beautiful sunshine for most of the day.

 

I was very lucky to be asked if I would make the wedding/evening invitations for my Avon lady Sonia and her husband to be Ronnie.

 

 Sonia wanted butterflies on her cards to represent  the both of them and their son Alfie and they had to be purple, as that is the theme for the wedding, I made about 4 example cards for her to choose from and this is the one they picked.

Good evening all my lovely followers, bloggers and visitors and a special welcome to my new followers Fairy Jo, Alter This and Erin Bentley.

 

Tonight I have a card for my father in law, his birthday is not until May but thought I would get ahead with my family cards, which makes a change for me as they are usually done at the last minute.

Altered Pot.....

 

Good evening everyone, hope you are all keeping well.

 

Now you are probably wondering why have I put a Bisto granule container on here !!!!

 

Well I will tell you, last week when I had emptied the container and I was about to throw it away a thought came into my mind it would make a great pot for either pens/pencils or makeup brushes. So I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave it a go, talk about brain going into overdrive, it would not stop lol.

It took me ages to find some papers to use and then decide on what and how I was going to place the flowers and bits and bobs. In the end I gavethe pot to my Avon lady Sonia as she has been ill and upset over her wedding plans ( re - family) don`t you just love them.

So here you go....... this is what I came up with.......

 

I painted the inside and the rim with Copper metallic paint from Crawford & Black.

The papers came from MCS and with the back paper I used the tip from Ali Reeve using string round an acrylic block and inked with memento to look like writing.

 The basket weave paper I distressed round the top edge with a craft knife then used Color Box ink, then folded back the top edges.

I used red adhesive tape at the top and attached Pearl string from Creative Expressions. Ribbon and lace is from my stash.

I die cut some leaves and fern and the flowers came from Cuddly Buddly and from stash. Before I stuck the flowers on with Pinflair silicone, I placed them where I wanted to make sure they looked right.

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

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.
