Well I haven't been on here for ages and I thought I might have lost my blog.

I have been asked to join a Facebook group that does monthly Challenges. I am no where near as good as the others in the group but thought I would give it a go. Just hope I make Zowe Dixon. Her group is Crafting from the Art Design Team.

Here is two different makes of the image I have been asked to use. It is a Tracey Anne Shaw image. 

This is the first one I made.

I mounted the image onto a A5 card, which I then but out the border from Christmas red card. I then added to the card and put the Carnation Crafts bow on, Merry Christmas sentiment and added some gold gems.

This one is my second attempt. I put backing card on the mounted the image with a small black border and put the on the A5 card. I used sliver glitter card to cut out the design at the bottom and added Silver Merry Christmas to the top.

well not been around for a while. This seems to be my little hideaway at the moment when I'm feeling bad, I turned 60 on the 26th March and as it was another lockdown birthday it was a boring day, but oh boy did it turn rubbish about 4pm when a so called friend rang and wished me Happy Birthday then said I've got a card for you at home but can't be bothered to bring it oh boy that hurt big style especailly when I went to town for her on her 60th well guess what wont do it again. 

Here is a card I made for her 

 I love this image from Polkadoodles Crafting think I will be buying more from them. 

She is called Winnie Celebrations 2 totally loved it for making a little girls first birthday card.

15th February 2021 another year starting with Lockdown. Hopefully this year will not be as bad as last year but at least they have started giving the Covid vaccination so hopefully we will start some sort of normallity soon 

Card I've made today for a order that a lovely lady wants for her granddaughter. 

This is a Janet Briggs desgin 

 Well this is the first of the new year cards that I havemade. I know I should really use this more.

Cards I dont' like making are the sympathy ones but more and more making them for people.

2020 is a year that is going to go down in History, it sure is a nightmare year. My health isnt very good but that isn't the big problem. The problem is that Covid-19 is a horrible virus and is claiming thousands of lives. 

But I've got my crafts that is keeping me fine well sort of.  So here is one of the cards I've made and I find it soooooo cute 

This cute little guy is from Polkadooles https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/waddy-and-wanda-penguin-big-bundle-of-digi-stamps-with-svg-dxf-cutting-files/

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                                       

I used a 6x6 card made the backing card the decided to make it into a shaker card (quite impressed with it). This is the second one I have ever made. 

I hope you like it 

13th June 2020

Well we are sort of still in Lockdown. Its scary how the world is going everyone is so evil with the other. The saying stop the world I want to get off is so what I need at the minute. I'm going through enough without all this evilness in the world. Anyway sorry to rant you don't need to hear what I am going through.

So here is what I have made for my lovely friend for her 65th Birthday

I researched all I could about the year

   
This is the end of her book. Took a lot of working out I'm impressed with it as it is the first time I've made a square book. I've even made the box to go with it which was an even bigger challenge for me as never made a box that worked out before.

Hope you all like it as much as I do

 Two cards I've made today for a lovely elderly lady to give to her Granddaughters. With the lock down she can't get out to the shops. I for one will not let her go without cards for her family. Just because she is a lovely lady....



This one took ages to cut out a hour and half to be honest. but it is such a beautiful card when its finished.

this one only took an hour to cut out as there wasnt' as much stuff to be put on.
