RIBBONS AND LACE CHALLENGE

sorry this is so late for the Christmas Club Challenge ( see my side bar for all the girls who play)....

I have taken inspiration from the LOTV site and used one of the toppers, cut paper lace using a spellbinder die...Holly, papers from pink pettycoat, stars cut from spellbinder die ribbon threaded through and tied in a knot...buttons from my stash...all distressed with tim holtz antique linen.

Mum is doing a bit better and had her stitches out and we are waiting for the bruising and swelling to go down but she seems to be able to see better and can even watch TV again!

CLARE'S CHALLENGE ANYTHING BUT A CARD

This was a great challenge thank you Clare.....made me get out a very lovely old stamp from many years ago...I had great fun with the glas effect gel on the berries!!! I enjoyed doing it so much I had another go

this is using a combination of stamps and inks and trying out the Tim Holtz pine cone die...I ended up on youtube watching the demo...ah a cocktail stick and a glue gun thats the answer...anyway they are getting better the more I make.Mum goes into hospital Monday so fingers crossed. Hope you are all having a great weekend looking forward to seeing all your creations.....

Mums Birthday

well it was my dear old Mums 94th birthday yesterday....we had her out to lunch at a nice pub down by the river and the sun even shone!....Lizzie and Chris brought along Isabella and Caitlyn  and we had a really lovely time, Mum was so tired when we got her home she barely made her piece of cake and cuppa before falling off to sleep....bless.

I had fun making her card with my new spellbinder blossom dies.......Lizzie is going to e mail me some photos of the occasion as in all our organizing my lovely Richard forgot his camera!......
