shapes in the middle.

First of all I am so chuffed
my card was picked by the random
number generator
over at Papertake Weekly!

*Happy claps* LOL

Right back to this next selection
of cards from the last few days.

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

This card is using
Lisa's sketch over at
Sketch & Stash.
The new stash is the birdie stamps.
The ribbon is new from Crafty Ribbons,
but the ovals is using fiskers cutting thingy
that I just can not get the hang of at all!

I have a nice new blade, the right mat,
(Thanks Kath!)
but nope.
So I draw round the holes
in the template sheet
and cut them out!

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

Next one is also a challenge card,
can you tell I am
on holiday from work this week?

Sugar Nellie have a sketch by Marlene
and have the added girlie theme if you want it.
Well I am not sure she is feminine
but she is a girl!
I love this wee Gothic Girl !

After being all messy with chalk inks
I just wanted something clean & simple.

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

Creative Card crew want
and easel card.
And my sentiment means
I can enter it in
A spoonful of sugar
who want
good luck or best wishes.
Anyone for Anya want flowers.
I have punched out parchment
instead of velum this time.
They looks so much softer.
This card is using Tash's Sketch
over at Oh Alice!
And Tash wants daisies on the card.
So there are in fact daisies
on the card.

The beautiful Lace was a gift from
my lovely mate Amanda!

No puppy photos today.
Camera they are on is flat!
Hope you are all well.

Worried....

Two cards from one stamp.
A new release from Sugar Nellie,
a new artist called Kathy Hare.
This wee sweetie is callede Worried,
I am not sure about the name
but I loved this stamp.

I have used my distress inks
to colour the wee honey in.
The backing papers on this one
is basic gray.

I used the same stamp but tried to
make her look more girlie.
I hoped she looked vintage.
I want to enter her for ABC ~ Vintage.

I did think about inking the flowers,
but I wanted to bring out
the white of the dots
in the backing paper.

Beautiful weather here.
Time to take Poppy-dog
and Bella Boo swinming in
the local river.

These were taken yesterday,
after a long play session.

I love how they cuddle up
and spend most of their sleeping time
lying next to each other.

Hope you are doing ok.
love Tina xx

Thank with Roses.

For the last 6 weeks
I have been going to the local
college and having massage by a
Complementary Therapy student.
It has been blissful.
The student was such a lovely person.
I made her this thank you card
and gave her an altered tin
with some Rose scented goodies in it.
Since that is one of my favorite
aromatherapy oils.

I am entering the card in a few challenges.
Secret Crafters saturday Challenge ~ Buttons & blooms
Passion for promarkers ~ Anything goes


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

I am not sure about the colours in this next card.
I have used my fave set of butterfly stamps
from Crafty Pad.
I used two shades of orange vellum to make
the punched flowers. But not sure about them.
The base vellum has flecks of gold and orange in
it, and the butterflies are coloured using
distressing inks and sukura pen.

I am entering it in crafty pads competition.

My time to craft want vivid cards.

hope you are enjoying the sunshine.
much love Tina 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

oooh la la!

lace, glitter and double sided sticky sheet!

Thats what was used at card class to
make this beautiful glitter lace effect
on both cards, with a bodice template.

I didn't get this one finished....
too much laughing!
I still have the greeting that says
something French to be layered
and stuck on.
And I have two wee gems to add
to my suspender belts!!!
*blush*

Can I also had you have to be careful
where you apply the lace to so you don't
end up with big flowers over the bust area
or it looks a bit too rude!

Second card is a bit more classy!

Same lace as a template but on cream card
and made into a ball gown with gold & white
glitter to make the lacy panel.

Narrow cream ribbon for a sash or belt on the dress.

Now trying the living room window sill
for taking my photos as the summer sun
was pouring through there.
Not great but will do the job.


Talking about cheeky......

I know I haven't got that bit weeded.
or tied back the daffodil leaves
but.......Had to show you this!

*sigh*

Am on late shift today so best get myself
organised and ready for work!
Love teen xx

Happy Birthday Lori.

Tomorrow is our niece's Birthday and this is the card I have sent to her.

I looked at some challenges and one was lavender & lace
I wanted to use sugar nellie Leanne Ellies stamp as it looks very like Lori.

It was from a another stamp challenge but wanted to use lavender & lace,
so took my inspiration for that.

Thank you to all the emails & messages that you have
sent me asking how I was doing.
I am much better.
The tooth is much better now, & my back is almost there.

I have been tired at work this week but am on leave next week.
which is just as well as Brodie's Mum is away on a course
and he is coming to stay with us, so will have much with Poppy.

Hope you are all well.
Am away to go see what you have all been up to.
