What a Day!

No time for crafting yesterday.

I had a second interview for a job yesterday at 9.30am. Came home and thought I'd catch up with an order, no chance! Dad called as he had locked his car keys in the car so a dash to Dartford with the spares. On the way, my daughter called to say the fridge wasnt working. Luckily my husband came home early so we investigated and yes, it had expired. The hottest day of the year so far of course and the day after a major shop which filled the fridge and freezer.
We went to Comet and luckily they had the one we wanted in stock. After much faffing around it was installed and up and running..Phew. Then we noticed the huge fault which runs the length of the freezer door - todays job.

Based on an idea from the Southern Stamp show at Worthing in May, the above cards have beaded skirts. I also added feathers to the fan.

Greetings from NZ

My friends Mum will be 60 shortly and I was asked to make a card which represented New Zealand. I searched for suitable decoupage or other "icons" but was unable to find any, so I used the flag to represent a garden planter and filled it with flowers.

Crafting with Greens - Scrapaholix July DLO

With Shimelles Month of colour challenge in mind again, A day for Green crafting - June 15th - I created this DLO from the July 09 Scrapaholix kit. Pearl-ex was used on the letters mixed with glossy accents and in the corners brushed over images stamped with a versamark pad.

Below is an image of the flower detail.

Scrapaholix - New Club in Crayford

Keeping it simple...




























We are just starting a Scrapaholix Club in Crayford and this is the first of the LO's for July. The technique is Pearl-ex which is similar to Glimmer-mist but comes in powder form. You can add to many mediums to create different finishes. On this one I simply rubbed the edges of the red card with a cotton wool pad which created a shimmering border.

Shimelles colour challenge, 16th June inspired this - a day for red, rose and pink crafting.

Wedding Album

Robert and I married in Florida so we only had some 6x4 pictures. I am trying to create an album but with limited pictures its quite hard. There were 2 images of Robert before the ceremony and one of me so I cropped and enlarged them to create these LO's. The left side was based on a mojoholder sketch the right side made to match. I used the June Scrapaholix kit papers which came with distress stickles which I applied to the flower heads. I used punches to create the flowers and Vixen QK Alphabet.

These are a few cards I made recently while away at Lynn's.
They were made using CWC products from the colour co-ordinated packs they sell.
I love the contrast between the black and pinks.
