Hi everyone
I notice the date on this photo is 2016! So I am guessing as I usually make Christmas cards early it must have been made probably summer 2016!
It is a fairly simple design, using the large die-cuts to form the background shape, and the JOY die curving round the image at the top left corner.
I just love the vintage images! Very often we tire of a type of image and move onto something else, but I never tire of these.
The flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone
Here we have another Vintagey design, and this one is one I made way back when!? I know that by the layout! It is one I used such a lot at one time. Iam guessing that it was very much a stash card to be honest. The two dies were from Noor Design UK, I do know that. And the flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts originally.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone
I am gradually wading through my saved photos but it has got to the stage where I am not sure just what products I used. This is one of those cards, and it was made a while ago. What I do know is that I love that image! And I also know that it is one I purchased from Live and Love Crafts when they were open. How we miss Sandy and her lovely shop!
The two dies, a butterfly border die and a leafy border die both came from Noor Design UK and the flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone
It was a while back when I made this card but I remember I had a lot of fun using some of my Pion products.
The cheesecloth and trim came from Noor Design UK, as did the JOY die at the top left and the roses. The roses are tinged with Dutch Doobadoo Structure paste. Anything else came from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by.

Morning everyone
Yes I am back to Vintage! There will be no surprises there!
This card shows an image which I purchased from Live and Love Crafts who are now sadly closed. How we miss Sandy and her lovely shop!
I have used a mixture of JOY dies and embellishments from Noor Design UK and also from Wild Orchid Crafts. Anything else came from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by today,

Hi everyone
Here I have a card using a lovely Vintage Father Christmas image. I believe this image was from one of the Images from the Past available at Noor Design Uk, but I am unsure on this.
I have used a selection of dies and have applied Gilding Polish. The flowers arefrom Wild Orchid Crafts and Noor Design Uk and anything else came from my stash.
Again, very many thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone
Today sees the start of another Challenge at http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
It is Pat's turn to host this challenge and the chosen theme is 'Fall Colours '
Well I think this card says it all. It is another one with a detachable tag. Again, I have used items from Noor Design UK and also from my stash.
Showing the detachable tag:
It would be lovely if you had time to pop over and see the Design Team's beautiful inspiration and even better if you fancy joining in with the challenge. (http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ )

Hi everyone
Today sees the start of another Challenge at http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
It is Norma's turn to host this challenge and the chosen theme is 'Things with Wings '
What a brilliant reason to make a Christmas card! I love making Christmas cards. 'Things with Wings' - well what better excuse is there!
So, here we have it, my card using this gorgeous vintage image. I think this might have come from one of the Pion Images from the Past papers but am unsure. Several embellishments came from Noor Design UK, and of course items from my stash. The dies were from Noor too.

Hi everyone
Today sees the start of another Challenge at http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
It is Gina's turn to host this challenge and the chosen theme is 'Favourite colours ' It actually is not my turn to post, but this is such a lovely Challenge, and as Gina is a good friend of mine I decided to play along.
Well favourite colours? I do not have firm favourites. And the colours I favour for cards are different to the colours I like best when it comes to other things. My overall favourite colour has to be dark Amethyst, and varying shades I think. But where cards are concerned I do love to see pink and cream, or pink and white. So this is one of my favorite colour combinations.
I chose several items from my stash, some of which were originally from Wild Orchid Crafts and Noor Design UK. I have chosen the lovely Vintage shabby style that I so love, but there are no surprises there! lol
The image was a freebie found online.
You know how some cards when finished you are more pleased with than others? Well I am really pleased with how this one has turned out. It is not often I say that because I always feel very insecure and wonder if they are good enough. But enough waffle.
It would be lovely if you had time to pop over and see the Design Team's beautiful inspiration and even better if you fancy joining in with the challenge. (http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ )

Hi everyone
I am here today to share a card I made recently using this lovely image which was from Cardmaker's Delights when they were open.
Actually I made this some time ago so I cannot rememer just which papers I used. I do know that the embellishments were a mixture of items from Wildl Orchid Crafts and also my stash.
This is a sort of criss cross style card, placed on its side so the detachable tags can fit into the right hand side pocket.
As always, thanks for looking,

Hi everyone
It started off very dull and a good bit cooler here today, but I see it is now brightening now that I am back from town. Well, I am hoping for a crafty hour shortly so really I do not mind one little bit because I will be a happy bunny whatever the weather.
I have another tag to share today which I made recently. I am not sure where this image came from to be honest, probably Magic Moonlight. I believe I used Pion papers and embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts. The trim is available at Noor Designs UK and also Live and Love Crafts.
I hope you are all having a lovely Summer. I know I am.
Thanks for looking,

Hi everyone
Gosh, has it got around to August Challenges already! Today, I have a card made as Guest Designer for this lovely Challenge Blog
at We Love Vintage
The
Challenge theme for July is 'MALE'. Well my heart dropped when I saw this theme. How could I be so unlucky! Vintage Male! But, it is surprising. For this theme there are quite a lot of Vintage Car images and I knowPion brought out somepapers which are perfect for this theme. I used items from my stash, but I feel sure the Pion papers are available from Tracy at http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/
So - onto my card
Border Dies (and WOW they really are fabulous!) - http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/
Papers - JOY - http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/
Rope: Live and Love Crafts
Shells - purchased locally.
It
is hard to tell on the photo, but there is lashings of Ducth Doobadoo
Structure paste added to this card (border die-cuts, leaves,
rope, shells,)
It
would be lovely if you had time to pop over and see the Design Team's
beautiful work, and even better if you fancied taking part in the
Challenge. ( http://wlvc.blogspot.co.uk/)

Morning everyone
This is a scheduled post. When this goes live, I should be well on my way to a Craft Fair weekend with all my makes. Without first checking, I think this will be one of them. Fingers crossed for good weather this weekend!
I think I am right in saying this was an image from Magic Moonlight. If not Magic Moonlight then it could be Janet K. Again, it was very much a case of using up my stash, and as a lot of you know I love doing this. The two die-cuts are Tim Holtz on the edge dies. Love these! I use them time and again. The butterflies are punches. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the rest is from my stash.
I hope you like it and thanks for looking,
Judy x
Morning everyone
Are you enjoying the Summer? It is a little cooler here today. We had a good shower of rain the other day and it finally cleared the air taking away that clammy feel. That put a smile on my face and I bet I am not by myself in saying this too.
I am just logging on quickly this morning to share another Vintagey card I made recently. This was made when I went through a phase of using some of the lovely images from Cardmaker's Delights. I do miss that shop, it will be a sad day when my images are all used. This image has to be one of my favourites. Well I think the whole pack are to be honest. I do have a plan B though. Both Noor Designs UK and Live and Love Crafts have some lovely Vintage images.
You will see the edges are inked with Tim Holtz distress ink, and there is lots of Dutch Doobadoo Structure Paste added to the die-cuts. The stockist? Well Noor Designs Uk predominate here, but there are no surprises there!
I hope you like it, and thanks for looking,

Hi everyone
Well I am bubbling with joy to be invited to be invited as Guest Designer not for just July, but for August as well by this lovely Challenge Blog at We Love Vintage
The Challenge theme for July is 'A BEACH CARD'. Well at first I was a little out of my comfort zone as I just did not have a Vintage image to fit this theme. So my thanks go to my friend Tracy at http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ for hunting through her stash and finding me not one but two lovely images to fit the theme. THANK YOU TRACY!
Well, there is quite a story to this. BEACH? Now we live in a small Fishing Port on the North East Coast here in UK, and we are by the sea. So if I can not come up with Beachy goodies, well I would be in the dunces corner! Haha. So, I dragged hubby off to the beach, gathered sand, but would you believe there were no shells. I never give up! Off we went to our little shell shop and I came home with a lovely bag of tiny shells too. As we were walking along the Marina, there were a load of crab pots stacked. Well, a girl can not just walk past all these bits of rope the fishermen had dropped scattering the pathway! What people must have thought I do not know! lol I came home with some tatty bits of rope in my bag too! They have all been washed and disinfected, and are good to use now. Hey and use them I will!
So - onto my card.
But first - let me tell you, Tracy at http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/
has the most brilliant 'collection' she is selling in her shop - and guess what? The theme of the pack is 'Nautical' Perfect for this Challenge! Here is the link to the 'collection' - http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ourshop/cat_1180857-New-Crafteezee-Collection-Monthly.html

Monring everyone
Can you believeit is Saturday already! The weeks are just flying by. Here we are in July already! I think this means it is official, I can start making Christmas cards! I love making Christmas cards! Love making them, but do not like writing them.
Well, this morning I am sharing a card photo which I made very recently.
The image is from Magic Moonlight. I have gone a bit mad on embellishments, mostly items from http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/, Wild Orchid Crafts and items from my stash.
Thanks for looking today and a very Happy Weekend.

Morning everyone
I am here again this morning with another card I made last week. Isn't this image just gorgeous. I wish I could remember where I found her. I think it could have been Janet K. It was a freebie image anyway.
This was quite a simple card for me but I still love the effect.
The border dies are JOY and available from http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/
The lovely die peeping at the top left is a Mixed Media die by Tim Holtz. This comes in a lovely set.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts but again there is a lovely range now at http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ Can you see the cheesecloth peeping through? Love cheesecloth for texture!
And finally the charms were from good old old eBay.
Thanks for looking today

Morning everyone
I am sharing today a card which I made a while ago. It is sometime since I made a shaped card, and I could well be inspired to start making them again. I absolutely love Fancy Folds, they aremore difficult to photograph at times, but I love making them.
The papers were from mu stash,as were the laces, apartfrom the lovely trim and that was from Live and Love Crafts. I notice now that Tracy at Noor Designs UK is stocking a lovely selection of laces and trims plus some fabulous flowers. Well in fact it has become a real one stop shop! ( http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/)
The die at the top right and base are JOY die, as are the banner and also the tag at the right and the border dies wereeither JOY or Marianne, but they are all from http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/
The flowers were from Live and Love Crafts, but again there is a lovely range now at http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/
I would like to enter this into the Challenge at http://scrapcardschallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/
where the theme is shaped cards and flowers. What a lovely theme!
Thanks for looking

Yes, back again, and Yes it is two in one day again. If you would like to see the first post please just scroll down the page.
I think I am quite missing being on Design Teams now. At one time I was on seven but then I cut it down. Now I am only on the one at the lovely Fussy & Fancy which I love. Being on Design Teams does give motivation and lots of inspiration too.
Well, I spotted a lovely challenge over at The Allsorts Challenge Blog. What a lovely theme! 'How Does your Garden Grow' Considering all the rain we have had lately here on the North East Coast (not forgetting the aweful fog which I know is irrelevan but I had to mention it ! lol) our garden is quite wet at the moment.
I made this card last week and think it fits the bill quite well for this challenge.
Again this is very much a stash card, using lots of embellishments from my stash etc. The die is from Noor Designs UK and is a JOY die. I think the image is probably from Magic Moonlight. I loved making this card.
I would like to enter this into the Challenge at http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
