Hi all 

A little sewing project today 

I've made this for my mom 

For Mother's Day 

I do hope she likes it 

I used a moda charm pack 

I know it's pretty basic 

I see some amazing projects on here 

I'm a complete novice at this 

But hope to progress if I'm brave enough

Happy crafting all

Hi crafty friends 

This is a card I made for my son 

He's a bit (lot ) of a petrol head 

And the proud owner of a fabia vrs 

So this was what I came up with,

As I was suffering extrem pain with my hip and back

I was very chuffed with how this turned out 

As I had got to the point were I would 

Have to ask some one to buy me one 

I'm coming through the other side now

Thank goodness 

And it's always up lifting just to do some thing 

A bit creative isn't it 

Happy crafting to all

Tonic for Mother's Day

Hi all 

I had a bit of inspiration out of the Avon book,

I saw a mug decorated with a heart.

So I thought I'd have a go at a Mother's Day card 

I used some versa mark ink pads and pencils 

That is pencils with rubbers on the end 

I cut a heart out of paper 

And place it in the centre 

Then I used the rubber end to create dots 

I used 3 colours 

And dotted around the heart the removed it 

I added the tonic 

On mothered day heart sentiment 

A little fibre Bow and fabric rose 

To finish off the look 

I quite like this little simply card 

Hope you do to 

Happy crafting Debbs

Got the chameleon pens out

Hi all 

Been a crazy year so far,

Lots of family problems,

But there seems light at the end of the tunnel now

So I've had a few rushed cards to do

This one I've stamped,

Used the chameleon pens to colour

And did a bit of guilding down the side

It's for my nephew who love his food out

Hi all 

I'm so excited to share with you a this trick,

I've learnt it off Becca Fekken,

Over at amazing paper grace.

As you know in my last post 

I received a laser printer 

To go with my laminator

It's amazing the results 

From printed images but when I saw this 

I had to try it 

Heres my first sucsseful attempt 

I choose my X cut labels dies from docrafts,
Is scaned them in on my other printer
Selected black and white
( after a couple of fails)
And bingo a perfect frame with a inner and outer frame
With a perfect foiled boarder.

Happy new year

Happy new year to you all 

I hope you all had a fab Christmas,

And got lots of crafty goodies,

I've been playing with my new toy,

To do some foiling 

The laser printer was a real supprise

And produces some fab results 

On this card I foiled the back ground 

Printed from my docrafts 

Digital designer

Hope you like it,

It's for my daughters friend

Hi out there 

Hope all well in crafty blog land 

Been busy with my new kitty boys 

Bertie Bob tail is a real live wire,

But had a poorly eye so he's needed drops twice a day,

Looks to be on the mend 

Then there Gus 

He's seems to be a lot more traumatised 

By his ordeal but he's trying to be a bit more friendly 

Any way I've been doing my least favourite thing 

Batch making cards

I much prefer one offs 

But needs must when you need a lot

So here's a few pics of my furry babies 

And my cards 

Crafty Christmas hugs to all

Oh Dear

Hi all

Well I'm in the usual panic for Christmas

I have no excuses this time,

Just the normal distractions,

I've take in some rescue kitties,

I did t think I was getting them till 

Next weekend but it's fabulous to have then early 

There were found in a garage 

Terrified and filthy

But there getting better day by day

Bertie is ginger but has no tail:( hence the 

Name Bertie Bob tail,

It really doesn't seem to bother him at all

He's a right confident bundle of energy

But suffer with up set tummies again 

They don't seem to bother him.

Then there's his brother Gus

Black and white with a face to melt your heart 

Buts he's still struggling with confidence 

So we had to get him a cage to get him use to us

After a day he was happy playing eating 

Generally doing and look like a kitty

But at the moment he need the security of the cage

We get him out and fuss and stroke him 

But he can't seen to manage to enjoy it yet,

He did stit up on my lap yersterday

So I'm hopefull we will get there.

Any way on to my card 

I've been struggling with my card design 

To post this year 

So I think I've got it it's a stages head I love this stamp

But think it looks best left simple

A bit of mirri card and matting and layering 

Hope you like it 

Happy crafting

Vintage Christmas

Hi all 

A bit of Christmas today,

I've had these stamps and dies a while now,

I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about

Matching the stamp and die as I've had sets before

And struggled,but these were a piece of cake 

I coloured my images with spectrum noirs

And added some sticklers glitter,

I ripped  the backing paper which is Wellington 

From Docrafts and added some vintage photo 

Distress ink one of my home made dazzlers

  

Thanks for looking 

Happy crafting

Wedding day

hi all 

Today's card is from a while a go,

But couldn't share until after the wedding

My friend who's daughters wedding it was

Gave me her wedding invite, as her 

Daughter based her design on her moms 

Invites,she also gave me some cards and acceptance 

Cards,and a horse shoe off her wedding cake,

She said chop them up do what you want,

But I really couldn't chop up these things,

So I made a keep sake card,

With pockets so her daughter could add

Her own wedding keep sake to

Hope you like it,my pictures don't 

Do it justice really,

I based the front design on 

The wedding invites

Happy crafting
