Happy Birthday....

 playing again waiting for the tennis to start at 11am....and while the gas man services the boiler...a busy day!

a masculine look I hope...using Spellbinders Sunday drive dies its such a versatile set with lots of add ons....

I hope you are keeping safe and well and thank you for popping by today.....

out with the owls......

 I do love this die.....

the owl is from carnation crafts and the branch is a spellbinder die....

Thank you for popping by today, I hope you are enjoying a bit of crafting.....

using up stash....

 I have so much I really need to get on and use some!

I have taken out my Heartfelt creations stuff this time and made one of the few religious cards I need for this Christmas

The weather has been cold and wet the past two days so it has been perfect for crafting in my room before the tennis starts....its the ladies finals at Eastbourne today ...no tennis tomorrow and the Wimbledon on Monday...in my element.

Ihope you are keeping safe and well and thank you for popping by today.

a birthday card....

 I made up a whole load of flowers one day and I thought it was about time I used them ...having seen a beautiful card made by one of the design team from carnation craft I though  I would try my version of it...

the flowers are from the carnation crafts Moments in time collection...I didn't buy any of the other dies so I rummaged around in my stash for Sue Wilson dies for the foliage...the bow is a Tim Holtz bigz die

Holly wreath...Sue Wilson sentiment and a tattered Lace harlequin circle die....lots of creative expressions cosmic shimmer sparkle pearl PVA drops on each of those little foliage fronds....so its very sparkly....

Thank you for popping by today I hope you are keeping well and enjoying your crafting.

Summer Solstice and a frost...

 my goodness the temperature did plummet last night and I even had to turn on the heating! but at least a lovely sunny morning so far.....

I have been playing with my Marianne design bauble creatable die...with of course a LOTV image....I made the card shape on my scan and cut....

Not much crafting going on at the moment as its Eastbourne Tennis tournament and Wimbledon qualifiers this week....just hoping the weather holds up...

thanks forpopping by today and take care.

Christmas card club challenge 13......music

 this weeks challenge is set by  Elizabeth, who sadly is still suffering from long Covid and is finding it difficult to get back to crafting...

my card is based on....Jingle Bells....

the bells are from stamping up...the music free from the internet.

Please pop round the other girls blogs and see their lovely cards.....take care and stay well.

Jingle Bells

 I loved this crafters companion die when I bought it several years ago and it has been sadly neglected....

going with white and gold for a bit of a luxury look.....

the sentiment is a tonic one...again several years old....

Thanks for popping by today...stay safe.

Look what I got…

 My lovely husband came home today from shopping with this bunch of flower …for fixing his new computer up……loading all the programs and retrieving all his iTunes from the old hard drive…it’s taken days I might add and lots of sleepless nights trying to work out how to do stuff…thank goodness for google….

They smell gorgeous…I might make him his favourite tea bless.

Hope you are having a lovely Saturday…take care .

a fun birthday card....

 for a 4 year old!.....

she has a hamster but this was the best I could find....a very girly little girl who loves pink...

all the dies are Carnations crafts....and yes I really had fun making this one...

I hope you are keeping safe and well and enjoying your crafting.

the Gnomes are out...

 I decided to use this set of gnomes I bought last year ....

I thought they were really quirky and would appeal to the children.....the dies are by Lene....

I cut them all out in white and coloured them with my copics....

I hope you are having a great day today and the weather is being kind...thanks for popping by.

Christmas card club challenge 12....Baubles

 this challenge is in memory of Shaz who sadly died earlier this year...

inspired by a card she made last year for one of the challenges I think she would approve of me getting inky....

Please pop round the other girls blogs and see their lovely cards for the challenge the links are on my side bar....

Thanks for popping by today and I hope you are safe and well and enjoying this lovely sunshine.

up early....

 the sun was shinning so brightly this morning at 5am I just couldn't sleep any more so I got up and made a quick card....

I got out my Bree Merryn cuties in booties cd and printed off a few pages ..decoupaged the image and the card is finished and drying....all that 3D glue needs to get solid ....

Its glorious here and I feel really guilty being inside watching the tennis all day but I do so enjoy it...Rich has gotten himself lots of garden jobs to do for the duration....

I hope you are safe and well and enjoying the lovely sunshine, thanks for popping by today.

just having fun...

 I have been playing with the owls again.....

I just had so much fun making this card using lots of different dies from Carnation crafts...and creating a little scene....

I hope you are enjoying a bit of crafting today.....thanks for popping by my blog
