flowers of all sorts

This warm weather is....

dare I say this out loud?
Just a wee bit too warm for me!
Daily swims for Poppy down the river
with cooling swims are a must!


It's also a bit too hot in the spare room to craft.
Despite a fan going......

I managed this with some new stamps.
I also have been making use of my new
Martha Stewart doily punch.
But I am really disappointed in
how I have done the four corners.
Any tips?
I stamped onto patterned papers,
& layered them up on black card.
A wee flower button finished it off.

the inside is from a new set of stamps too.
I really like this sentiment.

I am loving my flower bloom brooches just now.
I have resisted using this beautiful piece
of ribbon for so long....sad I know.
But I love the colours, so decided to wear it.

It's not a great picture...there are narrow
strands of green behind it for leaves.
And two buttons for the centre.

Lastly....this flower never fails to amaze me.
It is a much more beautiful
deep purple than it looks here.
And the flowers are each the size of a side plate.

Hope you are all well.
much love Teen xx

cuddles & cards

Thank you for all my get well wishes
I am all better now.

{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}

Well the sun is shining and Poppy is happy
as her wee mate Brodie was round
and after some manic playtime
it was time for a cuddle & sleepy.
Brodie likes to sleep using
Poppy's bum as a pillow!

Anyway.....I digress.
I think I am am slowly finding my mojo...
but I think the sunshine
wins over crafting just now.

This one is made with a flower petal stamp set.
Not sure where the sentiment is from
think it was a see D stamp.

I am liking chalk smudging

for the edges just now.
The card has a slight shimmer to it.


My second card is an order.
I can't decide if it is too
plain or not......
It is for a fella.

Hope you are all fine
best go see what you have all been up to,
much love

Sunshine & Sickness

Well I was thinking I found my mojo....
then I got sick!
Andrew came down with a vomiting bug
and despite me cleaning, disinfecting
and separate towels......

I got it too!
And pulled muscles in my chest at the same time!

Now I discover her had been drinking my juice!
Sharing glasses! while he had a tummy bug!

Was not a happy bunny !!

Anyway.......
Today is the first day I have felt
human again since Saturday!

Been down the river with Miss Pooh.
Poppy was two last Wednesday!

Brodie came round for Chicken dinner!




Smiling Poppy in the shade today.

Anyway a few makes .....
The secret Crafter want pink & green
so this fits that bill!


Not sure that the card candy looks ok
on the punched out flowers,
but they are on now.
Colour Create have a pick three colour challenge.
you can pick from
Strawberry, raspberry, kiwi,
tangerine and blackberry
Well I think I have raspberry,
strawberry & kiwi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one I am not sure about.
It is maybe a bit foofy for an 80year old
Birthday Card.

But I am entering it in My Time to Craft
who are in the garden this week.
It also fits One Stop Craft Challenge
who are looking for numbers on the card.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am entering this one in ABC Challenge
who are T for two tone.
and I have used cream and brown here.

This one is just a card to send some love
in the post to someone who needs some.

The smaller flower panel is stamped on to sticky
paper and then glittered.
The beautiful stamps are from
the lovely Chrissie.
Thanks darl . Hugs to you xx

Have done my Crafty Ribbon Challenge cards
done and need to get them posted.
Be back with pics of them soon.

Oh and BIG congraulations to my
lovely mate Amanda ~ Scotspanda

Monday here again

This weekend passed way too quick.
DH's Brother is away back to my inlaws &
will be going home to Auz at the end of the week.

I have a couple of cards done
orders for people at work.
I loved this tractor card
so made it again
for a wee boy who is tractor daft.
Hope his Mum & dad like it too.

The same person also wanted a card for her older uncle.
The backing papers were from my lovely mate Chrissy.
Thanks babe.
The rose of the watering can is actually silver.
All I had to go on with this card was his name,
age and he loves his garden.
The roses are made using the punched out flowers.

Last one is my favourite.
The red roses are made in the same
way as the white ones above.

I am not sure if the person who ordered it will like it.
How you all doing?
Am trying to catch up on my blog list of mates
but not getting there very fast.

Much love
Teen xx

just something.....

Been away from blogger for a wee while.
Lost my mojo and have been living quietly!

But this weekend I made a few makes.

For a lady at my card class who said she
needed a wee note book to jot down stuff.

For a sassy lady at work who is a
very young 60!

For our nephew who is tractor daft!

Andrew's brother is here tonight.
He is home from Australia for a month
for their Mum's 70th Birthday.
Has been lovely to see him.
We had Roast Beef dinner followed
by fresh fruit platter
with warm choc dipping sauce.

Brambles, strawberries, peaches,
apple and figs.......

and yes we did eat it all!!!

hope you are all ok,
am away to go see how you all are.

much love teen xx

Happy Birthday Mum

My mum is 70 today,
so wanted to make a special boxed card.

The pink roses are made using punched
out 6 petal flowers cut and rolled up.

The same flowers are used on the card
with petals punched from basic gray.
The leaves are punched from vellum.

Behind it, but not easy to see is flower vellum
that I have embossed and held down with brads.

I love the 3D dimensions of this card.

Happy Birthday Mum xxx

Lost!

my mojo......
one previous careful lady owner.
