Mid month reminder for Unstampabelles

Good Evening All

This is my second card I made for Unstampabelles Challenge blog, see my first post HERE.  I made two cards and Sue suggested using one as a mid month reminder so here it is.  This is the 'Boy' version of the one in the link above.

It is made from all Forever Friends products, even the little box which can be used for money or a little gift, I put a charm on a ribbon in it.

Guest DT for Creative Corners Week 5

Good Morning All



This is my final week as DT guest at Creative Corner Challenge and the theme is 'Masculine'.  I have used a Bugaboo image as they are the sponsor.
I have done a sort of reverse gate fold card with the image inside.  The sentiments are from a Forever Friends die cut sheet.

 I used a spotty paper (freebie in a mag) to try to match with the raindrops.

The toggles are from my Mums old button tin and I remember these being cut from one of my old duffle coats before it went in the bin!!!!









Hope you like and will hop over and look at all the wonderful DT creations and be tempted to join in the challenge.

Guest DT for Creative Corners Week 4

Good Morning All
This is my 4th week as guest DT for Creative Corners Challenge and what fun I am having too.
This week the theme is 'Tags' and is sponsored by Bugaboo Digis.  This is one of their images that I have used on my tag which I have attached to a card.  Just added a couple of gems and that gorgeous button I bought a pack of at our local China Bazaar, they had heart shapes and flower shapes, so sweet.

Why not hop over to the Challenge blog and have a go.

Guest DT for Creative Corner Week 3

Good Morning All
The challenge this week at Creative Corners Challenge  is 'Inspired By A Song'.
The sponsor is Bugaboo so I have used one of their digis 'Thinking of You'. Added some Cheery Lynn 'Roses' , homemade bead pin and lightly coloured the image.

 As this is intended as a 'Sympathy' card ---  the song is 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives' by Queen.
I am a great Freddie Mercury and Queen fan and the reason I chose this song is because a very dear friend of mine was killed on his motorbike over 10 years ago now, and his family had this song  playing as people were going into the church.  Afew weeks after the funeral, my sister and I went to the Queen Convention (we used to go every year,  loads of Queen fans meet up and have great fun, usually at a Holiday Centre like Pontins) this record was played and I was in bits, every time I hear it I think of Lol (Lawrence).  The saddest part was, his older brother had been killed on his motorbike about 15 years earlier, less than afew miles from where Lol was killed.  I still feel for their family.  Sorry to get so maudlin.  I did not make cards at that time and as many of you know, crafting does help get you through horrible times, as you will know from my header on my blog.

Back to HAPPY ----   Hop over to Creative Corner Challenge and have fun.

Guest DT for Creative Corners Week 2

Good Morning All
This is my second week as a guest design team member for Creative Corner Challenges and the theme is 'Things With Wings' so that is a good one for me as I love butterflies.

I really went to town on this one, it is what I call a 'messy card',  lots of embellishments, quite afew of these were sent to me when I was in the Uk by my friend Crisslee from Docrafts.  Hope you like it.
                   
                              *******************************************************

Here are afew snaps of Guadamar Harbour.  We often go for a walk there as we can park the car in the harbour where the boats are docked.

This one is just as we walk round the corner from the car parking area,  towards the harbour wall where there is always people fishing and loads of stray cats live amongst the rocks.  We have seen a guy on a bike come down and leave food in bowls and give them fresh water, so they are far from starving.

These are afew of the boats docked, this sparks the conversation   'What would we do if we won the lottery?'
Hire a boat with crew and sail off somewhere lovely.  Mmmmmmm

Good Morning All
I am honoured to have been asked to be a guest  design team member for the whole month of May at Creative Corner Challenges.  The theme this week is Mothers Day or Flowers.

I made an aperture in a 5 x 7 card blank.   I then stuck two images back to back with a piece of nylon thread going through the middle and attached it to the base card at the top and the bottom of the aperture so that the image will swing around.  This gorgeous image is from Bugaboo who are the sponsors of this weeks challenge at Creative Corners.

Flowers are made with Cheery Lynn 'Roses Die'  B152 and Spellbinders 'Bitty Blossoms'.
Butterflies are Marianne Dies LR 01258.  Added glitter to the butterflies, peel-offs at corners and to frame the aperture and a freebie sentiment from Netty.http://nettyscards.blogspot.co.uk/
