Sew Fun!

Hi All

I was inspired by a similar project at Ali Pali and thought it would be nice for my friend for Christmas as she is a fantastic seamstress!  It was really good fun finding and creating all the bits!. I got my crackle glaze out for the edge and used some Indigo Blu stamps.  A good rootle through my Nan's old button box also revealed some gems!

Rhedd and Rosie's Challenge "something for the boys"

Hi!!

I think it is safe to say most of us don't like doing Men's cards - no sparkle, no bows no pretty's but we all have to make them :)  Especially me with most of my family and friends seeming to be male!

The new challenge from Rhedd ad Rosie http://rheddandrosies.blogspot.co.uk/ is going to challenge you all to think MEN you should take a look at some of the others DT work it is stunning.

Anyway - this is my contribution, the good old garden shed, I love the detail of this stamp and it looks such a fun place to explore too! the bow has been replaced by a twine knot so I got some pretty bit on it ;-) I am also finding the fence die quite useful on these sorts of images too.

This was an alternative - less crafty but quite amusing! "retirement, twice as much wife, half as much pay!"

90 years young

Hi All

Winter is here and we are just off to watch Chris play in his first school rugby match brrrr.


Chris's girlfriend Kathi commented on a similar card I made saying it reminded it of her Grandmother so when it came to celebrating her 90th birthday I was flattered that she asked me to make her a special card.

Rhedd and Rosie go Steampunk style in their latest challenge

Hi all

The new challenge from Rhedd and Rosie is Steampunkie Rick St Dennis  gave us some great digi images to work with.  Normally I steer clear of Digi Crafting so it was quite a challenge to make myself go back there as this is how I started a lifetime ago and before I discovered stamps and inks :)

Anyway this is what I did, thoroughly enjoyed all the colouring :)

So join in the challenge with your Steampunkie and win some great prizes

Hi all

Lovely Lavinia Stamps time again!! this month's challenge is to "add a flower" now how simple is that!

This is my offering.  I just love the soft aqua of the glitter paper.  And the little flowers stamp I've used as a boarder is really useful too.
