Various Creations

A little hectic a work but by does this crafting make you relax. So this week I have created the following.

Another little box, from the K & Co boxes pad that I got from the Hobby House, I added some little flowers, butterflies and dragon
flies. I then created a bigger flower for the top.




I then created three xmas cards (that is five to date, I will get there) Each the same but with different sentiments as had to use what was left from the external and internal design. Used some dark green card stock layered onto a white card and then covered with this gorgeous paper from the Hobby House. This is one of the copic's images that I coloured when we had that glorious sunshine (where has it gone). The cuttlebug and nesties creating the loving
background for her. A little gold ribbon at the bottom and then the lovely white/gold flower and green and gold ivy leaves and the little gold bell to complete. The inner to match. Really enjoyed creating these and just know that giving them will mean so much.



And finally Kyle is having his birthday the day after Matt's. So I created this with another three whiff of joy stampes that I got from the Hobby House the other day. I suppose I did not have many boy themed stamps, lucky I got them and then remembered his birthday.

This card is based on black card stock and layered with some papers I got a while back from Running with Scissors. The first layer was white card, which I distressed with Tim Holtz mustard. I then layered the coloured side of the brown paper and on top the reverse which was the plain brown side. I used some ribbon from the Hobby House to hide the join. I then wanted to sit the little boy on the bench and the bench on the grass. Will need to wait till my class to do this correctly. So I stamped each one, cut around each one and layered with foam pads to create the effect. Can't wait till the class to do this correctly (I did have a go but not successfully). I then added a panel of another paper behind and the obligatory flowers, flourish and a little butterfly embelishment. The pearls bottom right to pick up the flower centres and the sentiment produced in word. Think that about does it.

Well off to tidy up and pack the work bag, another busy day tomorrow and another card for Vanessa to make.

Thanks for looking and for all your recent lovely comments, which always makes you feel really good about what your doing and inspires you to carry on.

Grace's Memory Book - Mum and Dad's Page

Well finally managed to sort out my computer blitch, thank heavens for Mozilla Firefox. It appears that the newer version of explorer has so many problems. Identifed the problem as my normal on line banking would not recognise it. It gave me three suggestions, Mozilla was one of them. I had used Mozilla before at work to resolve some internet issues and can't think why I did not think of this sooner. So I am now able to blog with no problems. Can see everyone else's site without errors. Hooooooorrrraaaayyy ..................

Got up early this morning and cleared some of the ironing pile, located all the silver platters, plates, napkins, plastic cutlery and all important beer glasses. Cut the grass and strimmed it, weeded the big bed with Matt's help and then got down to the all important bit, crafting.

This page is for Lindz and Mike, prior to Grace. It is a favourite place they both liked to go. I located amongst my K & Co paper stacks a green paper that really picked up that gorgeous grass. I decided that I wanted to frame the page so gutted another paper that co ordinated well. I then decided I wanted to frame the photo and used my newly purchased compass to create a circular frame. I created a part artisan shape and layered this but felt it was missing something so added the lace. I lifted the point of the artisan shape over the square frame. I had used Tim Holtz and my little sponge to distress all the edges and continued this theme on the branch punch and flowers. I used the paler paper and felt it needed a little something so found a stamp with words on it and then used the second stamped image to impress onto the flowers. (Sue taught me this technique) I used the brown on the bottom larger flower and green on the smaller. I arranged the flowers and then used my new ticket stamps to add an embelishment. I used liquid pearls to edge the artisan shape.

Have been considering colours for the new craft room and think as it has a blue carpet already that I may add a cream for light and a turqoise for a flash of warmth. Can't wait till the 3rd August when I can start stripping the room. Could start really after the party on the 2nd, but think I may be a little worse for wear.

Well thanks for looking

A right crafty day

Well Matt is fishing again, so I got up early took the car for a check over and booked it in for its service with MOT. Visited the Hobby House and purchased some new bits and then went to pick up the missing foot from the Gazebo. Returning to create some interesting bits.









This card I created a couple of weeks ago, but was unable to finish it as I needed a poinsettia type flower, some gold chain and a little gold bell. All of which I managed to obtain this morning from the Hobby House.









Whilst at the Hobby House I found a lovely K & Co Stack which is little boxes. Adorable and you can decorate them however you wish. I added some lace and pearls to this one, along with some pink ribbon and some additional little butterflies. (Don't worry, I will get around to my own challenge - using the feather butterfly).









Finally I created another page for Grace's Memory Book, this time one of grandpa and Lindz's brother Martin taking time out for lunch with Grace, great photo I thought and could not resist using it. The Hobby House had a reduction on its Martha Stewart punches today, so I selected two new ones and also picked up my branch punch that I had ordered. The green and yellow spotty card with plain colour on the reverse is from Running with Scissors, the new ticket stamp from The Hobby House the new edge punch oh and the flowers I found in tickerty boo and dismantled them from the cheap plastic bits and added the new branch punch bits and think they look swell.

Well must go cut some lettuce from the garden and create the salad as I am sure that Matt will be home soon and I promised him a salad. (I was hoping for a little sun with it)

Grace's Memory Book - Mike and Grace

Creating pages for men I find quite difficult. Avoid the pink, flowery, pretty stuff and try to make is sort of masculine.

I wanted to use the Father paper like I did in Faith's memory book, but to try do it different. So used some grey cardstock from a stack and then ripped the paper to size. I then wet the edges and curled the edges and then distressed them. I did not want it straight on the page and it looked quite good at this angle. I placed the photo with edged ink on the page above the word "father", it makes so much sense to let the paper say it for you. I wanted to highlight the word father again, so found some little brown buttons and ran these underneath the word father. I had one little brown button left so used this as the centre of the large flower and large pearls in the smaller flowers. The pearls looked lonely so add some smaller ones just to tie it in.

Well better go tidy up before Matt gets home from work, as came straight in from a busy day and decided to relax and what better way my crafty friends than doing a little scrap booking.

Grace's Memory Book - Mike before Grace

Oh I don't know where to start. I had the pleasure of seeing Sue's craft room. It is amazing. I came home and discussed using my other son's bedroom for a craft room. This room has a fantastic big window for natural light. An existing cupboard just ready for shelving to be added. On the Sunday Matt and I went to Tickerty Boo on Wilton Road and other than buying a rather large gazebo Matt also spotted a lovely bar chair, leather. So as Matt had said yes to the move - oh room in the lounge for the xmas tree with this idea. We bought the chair (of course I am trying it out now in the lounge as Matt says I have to wait till the Party is over before I start on the move :( ).

Well enough of my little bit of excitement. Here is Mike's page for Grace's memory book. Tracey at Running with Scissors had very kindly assisted me to locate the papers for the black, red and white theme I needed, and don't they look ace. So simply done for a masculine look. Red base layering the black spotty on top. Edging with little red triangles and a black pearl on each corner. Layering a little of the black stripy and then the photo and wording matted onto the red also. I think he will like it.

anyway off to clean up, thanks for looking

Grace's Memory Book - Lindz and Grace

This used that Gorgeous Mother paper that I got from "Running with Scissors". I used the same paper on Faith's Memory Book. The paper speaks for itself. I placed this as the background but did not want to miss too much of it. So selected some other paper from stash and cut it slightly smaller. I used the martha steward doily punch to edge it all the way around. I then cut out a circle to show off the paper. This highlighted the word mother but not enough. I found some more left over paper and cut a strip. I used my punch and edged each corner. I then added the lace from Rui Tong (this is a lovely trade only place I visit through work - Barbara sells some amazing things. The Butterflies presented at Sue's class were bought here). The lace was slightly too big so I trimmed off the top and used this to edge the round shaped photo. Flowers and feathers (from Rui Tong) to finish the design and some liquid pearls.

Well moving on to Mike's page (dad)

thanks for looking.

My Altered Art Class - Tissue Box

Today I have had such fun that I came home with paint all over my hands and arms. I was not sure what I would be doing but knew it would be interesting and I would learn lots of new techniques. I had seen the Tissue Box that Sue had made and it was amazing. How was mine going to turn out.

Sue (Paper Paradise) had put on a class for a selected few and I was honoured to be invited.

If you go to see Sue's creation then she will explain all the technical bits.

Four sides to the tissue box all with different things on them and the top of course. Loved every minute and can not wait for the next task.

Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome, and Sue the sandwich was lovely will bring my pack up next time to save you work.

Grace's Memory Book - Sue and Grace

This page is of Lindsay's Mum Sue with Grace, having a lovely time together. I wanted to get this one done today as Sue is recovering in hospital and memories like this aid the recovery process. Get Well from us all here Sue xxxxx

The photo of Sue supporting Grace to walk those boots up a tree again just called out for the sentiment which was made by colouring those lovely letters from Running with Scissors with my E29 copic marker.

The layout is sort of a combination of things learnt from classes and dare I say it my own imagination. (yes I finally think I found it) Several different K & Co papers make up this page. With the main paper picking up the green grass. The others picking up the earthy tones. A little faux stitching and some swirls and pearls and a flower to complete.

Well off to make coffee for the guests so thanks for looking.

Grace's Memory Book - Lindz before children (mum)

Well with Matt on his long hours and Mike (who has not been home all weekend) I managed to scarify the lawn - oh it looks awful now. I moved all my herbs to a more convenient place and made a start on clearing the garage. I am a right busy bee I can tell you.

However I did manage to get time to create this page for the unknown at the time mum to be Lindz. This is a photo of Lindz in Whitby, it is a favourite place of hers and before Grace was even thought of she spent many a time there.


So I looked through all of my K & Co paper pads and even though I possibly did not want to actually break into one, I had too as this paper was perfect for my vision. It is from the blue stack and the bottom paper is the reverse of the top one. I created an artisan shape (like I was shown in one of my many classes at "Running with Scissors". I then cut three thin strips of the back spotty paper just to run behind the image. I then found another page within the same pack which co ordinated so will and cut out a circle frame and placed this under the photo which is layered onto cream card stock. All edges again edged with Tim Holtz denim distress ink. I added the Title which is from the remaining letters on my 12 x 12 sheet from "Running with Scissors" and then created some journalling on word and again placed these on the cream card. I added some little shells around the bottom and right side edge of the photo, some lovely pale blue/white with a little sparkle flowers with paper blue roses on top from the "Hobby House" and finally a ring of pearls on the circle.

I am sure that when I eventually get around to doing a 12 x 12 scrapbook page on my own I will find it so easy. As when your creating on a smaller scale it is quite difficult, although I do love this bo bunny book.

Well must go and water the grass if I have any hope of it looking green and lush for the 40th/21st hog roast that is up and coming.

Also must put some thought to Matt's evening meal.

Grace's Memory Book - A Bath Moment

Well all the ironing is out the way and although it is not bright and sunny outside, I believe I may go scarify the grass shortly.

I really appreciate the comments I get on my work and would like to take a moment to say "THANKS" to you all.

This photo was just crying out. I am sure it was not her first bath time, however the facial expression says it all. The word added sentiment " Oh!! Bubbles...."

I started with a base background cream card stock and found a bluey, greeny, watery looking paper from one of my pads. I gutted the cream card stock to make the photo base (saving paper) and then used Tim Holtz denim distress ink to ink all edges. I search the internet for the bubbles and then printed them off on photo paper. I cut them all out by hand ................ I placed them on with foam pads to add the dimension. A little pearl in each corner and some diamante's to edge although I must buy some dew drops as I think these would have been better.

Well off to see what the weather is doing and see if I manage to get outside

Thanks for looking and in advance for you kind comments

Grace's page In Grace's Memory Book

I went to see how Lindz was holding up this morning and she is doing just fine. I got to feed Faith and watched a slug crawl in Grace's paddling pool. Grace was fascinated by it. Mother was not, and it soon left very quickly.



Whilst there I was able to gather a few more photo's for Grace's Memory Book. Here is Grace's page, this photo was used on the thank you cards that Lindz and Mike had done.



I recently saw the most amazing page and felt instantly I would like to try use the ideas at some point. The page was on Ruth's blog. Ruth creates some amazing stuff and I hope she does not mind me borrowing the main layout idea but it was so inspiring.



The background paper was from a pad of papers I had, think I got this from The Hobby House. The first circle was from paper I got from Running with Scissors - I had used it for a card and had enough left over. The inner circle which is gorgeous and was from a mixed pack of 12 x 12 papers from Running with Scissors. I used the outside of a cd rom stack base for the outside circle and then used some fancy scissors to cut the fluty bits. The inner circle I used a cd itself. I then used Ruth's technique of the tiny pearls on the join. I used word to create the sentiment and some flowers from Hobby Craft and The Hobby House to add some dimension. The It's a Girl embelishment I am not sure where I got this from. I used a corner punch to shape the photo and you can just see a little of my doily punch work.


Well must get back to some housework, so thanks for looking

2nd Memory Book - for Grace

Oh I am so impressed with myself, I managed to do all my ironing this week before Sunday dinner time. I also got the whole house cleaned through to a reasonable standard.

Then took some time out to start creating another Memory Book, this one was requested by Lindsay for her older daughter Grace. She like the other one and felt it would be unfair for Grace not to have one also.

So I got the little book sometime ago, but did not really get time to start on it. I have now managed to create the front page with some lovely suede paper from the Hobby House and paperflowers from Hobby Craft. I then quickly moved on to the inner front cover and located some co ordinating K & Co papers and some left over pale olive green paper from one of the classes I attended at Running with Scissors. I placed some basic cream cardstock down and then the lovely pink roses paper over the top. Used the good old nesties to create the topper and stamped the images. I then added some flowers with spacers and brads and swirls out of the left overs and used my stash of little pearls to finish the look.

Although I think the front page is quite plain, I think any more would kill it.

Copic Colour Challenge 19

After forgetting to make Matt's pack up last night, got up early with him this morning (with the birds) and resolved the issue. Got the kitchen floor swept and mopped, hoovered through, got the washing and drying done along with folding the ironing for later and at 8am I headed over for my hair appointment. Arriving back at 10.45am. Plenty of time left to create the card to go with my already created Sarah Kay stamp.

I do not have this stamp Polly (~ARTfulwings~)
very kindly stamped a couple of images onto my manga paper.

The copic challenge required us to use BV00 (I don't have this one yet), G00 and RV02 (I don't have this one yet)

So after identifying similar colours I was able to get started. I used G00, V91, RV13, E51, RV34, YG11, BV02, BV31, YG67, Y08,E71, E77, RV10, E00, E21 and E02.

Sentiment from my new on line ebay purchase (dead impressed) "My Sentiments Exactly" really good on line shop. Papers from the K & Co range and flowers out of left overs. The Martha Steward doily punch and the cuttlebug assisted. Spacers, brads, chain etc from the Hobby House.

oh nearly forgot and here is the card inner - getting much better at this bit.

This card did not go together as easy as the last.

Quite femine I thought - anyway have a bbq to attend and supper to make, thanks for looking

A Little Thankyou

Today Sam posted through my door the little thank you, for all my blogging comments. It isn't very hard to find comments for her as her work is so incredibly unique. I asked if possible to receive the butterfly one and can I say that the photo just does not do this justice.

Thanks Sam, will place it near my craft corner for inspiration and will treasure it.

Last Two Weeks Pages From Running with Scissors

Today I informed Tracey at Running with Scissors that I would not be able to attend my Saturday Scrap Book class for a little while as time is just running away whilst Matt is working on his current contract. So I purchased my last remaining available copics and felt a little sad as I will miss the ladies and the fun we had distressing, ripping, gutting etc (won't miss the cutting out, though Tracey)

These two sets of pages are the last two weeks and today I finally managed to put the words on them. The bottom set again for my sister Jo and the top set for my mum and yes I think they do the photos proud (thanks Tracey - much more my style I think and loved the circles, will start playing now with more circles) Loved the way the papers were staggered as well.

Right I am off to tidy up my craft corner and then will cut the grass and weed the new bed and try get on top of all the things I have let slip for far too long.

Father's Day Creations

These are the two father's day cards I created for my husband Matt. The one on the left from my son and the one on the right from Star (my loyal friend). Nothing really special on any of them just using papers them selves to create the overall look on the one on the right and some ready made embelishments on the left.

Copic Colour Challenge 18

After my lovely week off last week, this week has been a little busier on the catch up at work. However I did manage to create this lovely Sarah Kay inspired card for the Copic Colour Challenge.

The challenge required us to use three colours
R85 Rose Red, BG05 Holiday Blue (I don't have this one yet) and Y15 Cadmium Yellow.

I have used in this image,E21, Y00, B05, E35, Y11, B02, B32, E43, E57, Y15, B24, E71, E00, RV34, E02 and RV23.

I used some "sparkly sweet" - K & Co papers and some pink card edged with Tattered Rose distress ink (Tim Holtz). Flowers from the left overs with spacers and brads and a couple of flourishes and mini pearls.

Well I need to create yet another fishing inspired 40th Birthday Card so back soon and thanks for looking.

A Little Copics, Whiff of Joy and Cuttlebug Christmas

I purchased this lovely Whiff of Joy stamp from "The Hobby House". I spent the weekend in the sun on my hammock with my copics, manga pad and several stamped images. I got a lovely sun tan, really relaxed and managed to complete several variations in lovely different colours.

For the past week after my visit to Polly's ~ARTfulwings~

I have been creating father's day cards, and 40th Birthday cards for my husband Matt. I am unable to blog these as he is my most frequent visitor to my blog. I will post them later.

This lovely little card was totally focused around the stamp and the colours used. The background paper printed off to match from the "Crafters Companion = A Touch of Christmas CD" The writing from the same location. The cuttlebug swiss dots folder was used for the snow effect. The die and emboss folder for the large snowflake and the die for the small snowflakes. The little snow embelishment again from The Hobby House.

and I have several more lovely little ladies waiting for me to match the papers and create more xmas cards.

Sam a little pink glint in the icicles stickles only.

My Polly Class and Playing with Copics

As I mentioned in my earlier blog. Polly and I towards the end of the evening had a copics session. I had if you remember mentioned how the hair on my stamped images always looked not quite right and how Polly had showed me how to do this.

Well this is the image we did that night and as it is so Gor Juss, I had to use it.

Spent ages and trying out a new layout and finally came up with this. Slight issue is was I did not have the ribbon with a silver edge and had already used the silver on the flowers, but I don't think it is too obvious.

Thanks again Polly and TFL

My Polly Class and Challenge

Wow........................... what can I say, Polly your just the best. Spent the evening with Polly and her little piece of heaven (her craft room and collection) Polly had designed a card which is so beautiful and contained so many different techniques and all for me to learn from. She had selected a beautiful array of papers and set the challenge of us creating a similar but slightly altered version. I have to say I think I was a little cautious when she presented the distressing tool (a little lethal looking but a proper implement never the less) I soon got the hang of it and sort of varied from the design when I got carried away. Have used lace (get me) twice today but each time in a different way. Learnt how to use a cropodile, I have always looked at those luverly PINK (sam) tools with no idea of what to do with them. Thanks to Polly I got to play with it and used it in two completely different ways. Loved the finished look and Polly you give anyone confidence to try something new. If you want to see Polly's finished cards go check out ~ARTfulwings~

Copics
Well Polly and I are both converts to Copics Ciao. Polly you really do need a fab holder like mine! collecting in a tub soon gets full as you are finding out. I explained to Polly that when completing a stamped image I tended to spoil it with the hair. Polly showed me how to colour and shade a Gor Juss stamp. Polly has so much confidence with her colouring and surprisingly enough I am only a little way behind. From now on I will remember my tips from Polly and also do the hair first, that is a good plan I think.

Thanks again Polly and remember to check out her finished creations at ~ARTfulwings~

Sue's Card Class Creations

I went to my very first card making class today with Sue at Running With Scissors. I had no idea what I would be doing and did not know anyone who already attended. I felt very welcome and Sue made sure I was keeping up with the new techniques she was showing me. The papers used were really pretty, liked the use of the frame's and found these easier than what I normally try to do. Sue showed me how to use the pearls on the strip easier and introduced me to liquid pearls. I had never used chalks before and although you cannot see the effect from the photos it is a lovely soft addition to stamped images. I liked the wording I chose at it then excuses the few little mistakes I made. But I enjoyed the company and had fun. Thank you Sue for letting me join you.

Gor Juss - A Little Birdie Told Me

As most of you know, I am having a week off from work. Today Matt took me to The Hobby House and I purchased some new stamps and papers, a few cuttlebug bits and a few more dangly little critters.

This is one of my new stamps - I was introduced to the Gor juss stamps by Polly (ARTfulwings). This one is called " A little Birdie Told Me" and it is so adorable. Again I used some K & Co papers, flowers, pearls, some impressibilities and the little dragonfly all from The Hobby House.

I used the copics caio to match the colours on the stamped image.

Sorry Sam Pinkkkkkkkkkkk I know but the base paper was shouting out for me to use it.

My Son Mike's 21st Birthday Card

Well I am sure that from reading my blog you have gathered that my son Mike is into his fishing. So for some time now I have been purchasing fishing related items, not knowing what I was going to do. I started this one with the image, using my copics collection on several of my stamped images until I got the colours and shading just right. I had to ensure that it was a boy's colour (sorry Sam no Pink) hence the blue, felt a matt blue was too flat and tried a pearlescent but this did not work either and finally settle on this horographic blue card and used it to edge all my toppers. I hand cut all the pieces as I did not wish to have any uniform shapes. The font is called frosty and comes from a cd rom that I recently picked up with over 4,000 fonts types on it. The fish (sorry Sue) are stick on's. Placed onto the horgraphic card and carefully cut out. The 21st numbers and large star were in a pack I picked up at hobby craft and the little stars are from a punch that I think I picked up at the Hobby House. Felt the cream backing card was a little bland but searched for ages for a backing paper which would go and just did not find one. So I used my inkadinkadoo flourish and blue Tim Holtz distress ink and stamped my own, with a tip from the water colour class which was to use the second press as it looked more subtle and yes I liked it.

Well off to locate a saying for the inside so will be back soon, TFL xx

Today's Scrap book Double Pager

Arrived a little late for the class, but this meant I could take my time and try to get no swearing in. Lovely colour combinations and especially liked the back of the yellow dotty paper - which was a lovely light marbled effect in various shades of lemon/yellow. For once picked photo's which went well with the colour scheme (of which gave everyone a few giggles - if looking closer yes I have on fake tan and yes very badly put on - this was the theme)

Made one small mistake - will let you locate it yourselves. Thanks Tracey for reminding me that I could use my copics for colouring in my letters (don't they go so well)

Also thank you Tracey for the copics boxes - Matt will be so impressed now that he does not need to create me a holder for my growing collection. Well Matt is still fishing - match should have finished but he has not called yet and Mike is revamping his bedroom (god help us)

My Brother Nick in Last Weeks Scrapbook Design

Isn't it funny, how sometimes you just feel right with something and other times you don't.

This was the pack from last weeks scrapbook class. I was unable to attend the class but went in to pick up my pack and worked on this at home over the last two nights. This one just feels much better than the last one. I am not sure if the last one felt not quite right as my photo's were smaller or if it is because it was the first vintagy one I had done. The comments on it were good, so maybe it is just my impression of something new.

Well have already viewed the colours for this weeks class and have located some photo's that I think will work with it. I am attending in the afternoon this week so I won't feel as I have to keep up and can relax a little more with it.

Well tomorrow is shopping night (no ladies not for crafty bits but the boring food stuff - such a pity) so will be back crafting on Saturday whilst "yes you guessed it - Matt is at a fishing match" wooohooooooo peace for me.

Hobby House Watercolour Practice Image

Well it would be a shame to waste all those practice pieces we did. So as we are currently unable to upload our finished creation from the day, I decided to create this lovely little number from one of my trials.

Several layers of green and black for topper
Ribbon edge punch and luverrrrrrrrrrrrly pink ribbon (just for Sam)
Flourishes by impressibilities using the cuttlebug
Roses (hobby craft)
Little pink pearls part of the stash received at the Hobby House session

Well think it looks ok when you put it with other bits (don't look too close at the image though)

Vintage Sort of Pages

Well I am not sure on these two pages and may still pull them to pieces at a later date. These are from a class a few weeks ago and I really did not get on with the layout or the colours. Hopefully I have altered enough for now but still not sure if I like them.

Love the photo's it is my mum and her sisters, my mum on her own as she passed away a long time ago now, and her sisters together as they are still very much alive. The one on the left is the younger sister and the one on the right the middle sister. Lovely old photos. Need to ask around the family for some more especially of the brother as when I re do this one would like to add all the siblings.

Well off to play.

Father and Faith Page for the Memory Book

This is the memory book page for Mike and Faith. I think that the paper itself said enough and I did not want to cover it up too much. I love the simplicity and the effect and hope it is not too girly for Mike.





Recipe

A cream rose (hobby craft)
Scrolls from the impressabilities range with the cuttlebug
Some pale green card stock
Father frame hand cut and Tim Holtz distressed

well now waiting for some more family photos to enable me to finish this book.
