Morning all,
The card I am sharing today is a Gatefold Card using a lovely image which I think was from Magic Moonlight. The papers are Melissa Frances papers and the flowers were from Live and Love Crafts.
Thank
you so much for looking.
Have a lovely day,

Morning all,
Monday morning again, and the start to another week. The weeks sure are flying by quickly, it will be Christmas before we know it.
I think I feel a Vintage week coming on! I have accumulated so many photos which have not been posted over the past few months, so this week will be a week of makes which I made some time ago.
Gosh, this is like a trip down Memory Lane for me, I made this card simply ages ago. the image is from Nicrane Designs I think and the die-cut is a Tim Holtz On the Edge die.
Whatever you have planned for today, I hope it goes well.
Thank
you so much for looking.
Have a lovely day,

Hi all,
Sunday already! Where did the time go to last week!
Today sees the final card I have been making using lovely products from Kraftyhands
Actually I do have more to post, but I will do them at a later date.
I have no idea what to call this type of card. I just started with a narrowish rectangle with fold at the top. It was something that had been cut down from a previous make, and sort of fell into my hands. I was sat pondering what to do, and this is what just sort of happened! Does this make sense? You cannot really see the papers, but I can tell you they are the lovely 'Fatale' set again. The bookmark topper is from a beautiful set from the Emporium of Curiosities theme. I absolutely love these. They can be decorated up just as bookmarks, or they are so pretty used as they are, or they can be used as toppers on a card. And of course they are great to pop into pockets too.
A great idea I have had is to use these as a gift voucher for an online shop by writing the code on the reverse side. Yes? What do you think?
Actually, I was quite pleased with the finished result of this one.

Thank
you so much for looking and for all your lovely comments again this week. A very warm welcome to new followers. I really do appreciate your comments, it is a lovely feeling to log on and find these awaiting reading.
What shall I do next? Shall we have a week of Vintage? I might do that this week, or maybe the week after.
Have a lovely day,

Hi all,
Here we are again to showcase some of the cards I have been making using lovely products from Kraftyhands
This time I made a 7 x 5 inch card instead of a square. Again there is a pocket on the front, and I went quite Shabby chic!

Hi all,
Here we are again to showcase some of the cards I have been making using lovely products from Kraftyhands
It will come as no surprise to see I have made another envelope card. You might remember I went quite mad on making these. (Well I still am to be honest!). The 12 inch papers were ideal for making a larger size envelope.

Hi all,
This morning I am continuing to showcase some of the cards I have been making using lovely products from Kraftyhands
Don't be shocked! Yes, see it is official I can make just an ordinary square card! Haha.
I just love how this gorgeous 12 inch pack of 'Retro Roses' papers includes designs that all co-ordinate with each other. The other nice thing is that the design on the 12 inch papers does not go too large, which is usually the case. The pack of 'Special Day' toppers, well this is a must to have in stock. How often do we need a celebration card made up last minute!

Hi all,
Again I am continuing to showcase some of the cards I have been making using lovely products from Kraftyhands
This

Hi all,
This morning I am continuing to showcase some of the cards I have been making using lovely products from Kraftyhands
This time I made a front pocket card. I had such fun. I always think it is so rewarding when a simple card looks so effective due to the lovely papers, and really it is good to let them lead the way occasionally. Aren't these 'Kew' papers and postcard toppers gorgeous!

Please scroll down for my early morning post.
Hi all,
This morning is the start of a week showcasing some of the cards I have been making using lovely products from Kraftyhands
I must say I just love the toppers, Postcard toppers and papers. I just cannot believe the quality of the papers for the price they are charging. Absolutely brilliant! And the designs are lovely too. My favourites so far have to be 'Kew' and 'Fatale'. Take a look and see what you think. I wonder which would be your favourites? (Kraftyhands ). Oh and the good news is that there is a link to their Blog and their Challenge Blog too. For anyone who likes working with Cd's, well you will be blown away with the choice. As most of you will lknow I am not a Cd girl, but I just love their products.
So, onto my first card.
I made a Horizontal multifold card, with the inside turning into a sort of Tent card.
The papers are 'Fatale' and the image is from the set of 'Fatale' Postcard toppers.

Hi all,
This morning I have another card to share that I have made using the lovely Vintage Topper
images from Cardmaker's Delights
Well, this is the last one using these lovely images for the moment. I am not sure which pack this lovely topper came from but am sure Tracy can tell you.
These gorgeous papers came from Kraftyhands. This has to be my favourite pack (Kew). It is a pack of 6 inch papers and the quality is really second to none. I thought they teamed rather well with this image. It is a pocket card as can be seen a little better from the second photo.
.
Thank you so much for looking and for all your lovely comments received. A very warm welcome to my new followers too. I am not sure just what I will be showing you next but will try and continue to share and be a good Blogger.
Have a lovely day,

images from Cardmaker's Delights
I just love this pack of romantic couples images! In face I am always torn which one to use because I like them all.
Again this is one I made last year. Yes, I am gradually starting to make headway on sharing my saved photos.
You will see I have been raiding my store of embellishments from Live and Love Crafts too here.
Thank you so much for looking, I will be back again tomorrow, have a lovely day.

Hi all,
MISSING - One Mojo! If anyone sees my Mojo idling about can you give me a shout please!
This morning I have another card to share that I made some time ago using the lovely Vintage Topper
images from Cardmaker's Delights
The photo is pretty rubbish. I am sorry for this. However, I hope you can see the lovely image. Another of the lovely girlies from the pack I so like. I made a Trifold card and added a pocket where I popped apacket of Sweet Pea seeds in. This one was for a friend's birthday last year.
Seriously, my Mojo has taken a hike, please send some inspiration my way!
Thank you so much for looking. I will be back again tomorrow, have a lovely day.

This is a card that Mum asked me to make for her last year.
The papers are from Crafty Individuals and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I am not sure which pack this lovely image is from but I am sure Tracy at Cardmaker's Delights will be able to tell you. It could well have been from the Mystery Pack - gosh that was such good value, such a lovely mixture of designs and such a good price too.
Thank you so much for looking, I will be back again tomorrow, have a lovely day.

Hi all,
This morning I have another card to share that I have made using the lovely Vintage Topper
images from Cardmaker's Delights
This time I was actually making a baby card, and it will come as no surprise to see it is another envelope card, but this time full size. This is the start of one or two full size cards.
The tags are handmade using matching papers with the lovely Vintage topper peeping through at the front. I had such fun making all these you know, once I got started there was no stopping me. The blue papers are from my stash. I really struggle to find blue papers. Or did til lastweek when I spotted some lovely ones at LOTV. I wish I had had those when I made this card.
What a lovely bear image! And each one in the pack is different and yet so lovely. Great for children or baby cards!
I used mainly items from my stash for these cards.
And that is it for now. I hope you have been inspired. The little mini makes were a real joy to make, as was this one which is a full size card.
I will be back after the weekend with the remaining cards to share.
Thank you so much for looking, have a lovely day.

Hi all,
I have a whole load of card photos built up in my folder to show you, but have just not had the time to share them. So, this week I thought I would share a few that I have made using the lovely Vintage Topper images from Cardmaker's Delights
For anyone who has not seen these gorgeous Vintage images I can tell you they are brilliant quality. Tracy is a great seller and I have always had very quick delivery. I notice that there are now some of them available in digi form too. T
his is the link to the website, but you can also access them on Amazon. Oh, and the postage is also so very reasonable which means such a lot these days. -

So, remember some time ago I made a good few mini cards using Kraftyhands products? Well, at the same time I also made some mini cards using Cardmaker's Delights toppers too. So, I will show you some of these first. Today I have a little mini easel card to show you. And of course the toppers are slotted into the handmade envelope. (yes I went envelope mad, and still love making them!)
I used mainly items from my stash for these cards.
This is the first one, I will be back tomorrow with the next one.

Hi everyone,
I have a DT card to share today which I have made for the Challenge at Kraftyhands which is themed 'Autumn Colours'.
I have made a shaped card for a change. I am sure it will have been done before but I made the shape up myself in the form of a Gatefold Tag Card. There is a pocket on the inside in which slots a further tag. Have you seen these
gorgeous papers and Toppers? They really are fabulous quality? I could not resist adding that googley eye!

Hi everyone,
I am delighted to be back with a Design Team card to share which I made for the Challenge at Fussy and Fancy
Yvonne is hosting this Challenge, the theme
is entitled 'More than one fold'. and we are sponsored by Marianne Designs
What a lovely theme and just up my street. Well, you will laugh, I started amking another envelope card, but this time a little different. But I kept cutting it wrong. Well what started off as a 6 inch card ended up a four inch! AND I think I had six cards in all which I made up using all the pieces I had done wrong. Well, I just do not like waste and I knew if I put them to one side they would not get used.
So, eventually, I had a Twisted Easel Card with envelope front enhanced by the Anja Die-cut from Marianne Design. I just love these papers from Kraftyhands. These are from the Fatale paperstack (I cannot believe the quality of these for the price - absolutely brilliant!) and the lovely postcard is also from Kraftyhands and this is in the set of 'Kew' postcards.

Hi everyone
Today sees the start for the new Challenge at CCAYR,
which is entitled
'Keep it Krafty'. Use kraft cardstock along with white and cream you can also incorporate somegrey or black if you like
Well, I do not often use Kraft, not that I do not like it,
so although it is a bit out of my comfort zone and time has been very short so I needed something quite quick, I actually welcomed making this card and this is what I came up with.
