WOW!!!!! LOOK AT THIS!

wow!!!!  LOOK AT THIS!

Look what Tracy has added to her shop today!

Head over to http://noordesign-shop.co.uk/ourshop/cat_1180857-New-Crafteezee-Collection-Monthly.html  and take a look!

How good is this!  A Crafteezee Monthly Collection = and this month's theme is 'NAUTICAL'  This will be so useful when entering Challenges, great for greeting cards, especially the tricky male cards.  I always think cards are much more straight forward if we have the right materials, and here Tracy has put together a collection of her own favourite goodies to this theme.  So, cardmaking, or altering, making gift bags, boxes, they should be so much easier to make with everything to hand.

Orders have to be in by 13 July, so do not delay!

THINKING

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

FLORAL EASEL

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!

PHOTO INSPIRATION AT ALLSORTS and an EXCITED ME!

Hi everyone

It is an excited me tuning in today.  I have just seen that I am invited to be Guest Designer for the lovely Challenge Blog at http://wlvc.blogspot.co.uk/  so you will guess I am doing the happy dance!  I love doing Guest Designer posts, and it is ages since I did one.

Whilst I am here, I have an altered notebook to share which I made recently.  It fits perfectly with the Challenge at http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/week-369-photo-inspiration.html  where there is a fabulous inspiration photo.

 

What a fabulous photo this is!

This is another make for the Craft Fairs this Summer.  Again I very much used up my stash and scraps.

 I would like to enter this into the challenge here at Allorts:   http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/week-369-photo-inspiration.html

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW

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.

MAGIC MOONLIGHT VINTAGE

Hi everyone

I am here today to share a creation I made recently.  I have only recently got the photos uploaded to be honest.

I decided to try a slightly different layout for a change, it is one that sort of just happened, if you know what I mean?   I really did not know what I had in mind so I just decided to go with the flow.  I ended up sort of using up scraps, which as most of you will know I just love doing.

The image is from Magic Moonlight and the two dies are Tim Holtz on the edge dies.  The roses are from Wild Ordchid Crafts and everything else came from my stash.

I would love to enter this into the challenge at http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/pastels-and-pearls-challenge.html   where the theme is 'Pastels and Pearls'  What a fabulous theme!

As always, thanks for looking today

FUSSY & FANCY FRIDAY - Say it with Flowers

Hi everyone,

It has got around to another challenge at Fussy and Fancy !  This challenge is hosted by 
Nathalie

The theme is entitled 'Say it with flowers'  and we are sponsored by  http://www.magnoliastamps.us/

This lovely Tilda image was coloured up by a friend of mine some time ago.  She is still one of my favourites.  It has not photographed as well as I would like to be honest, it has come out a bit dark is is much better in real life.

Virtually everything else came from my stash.  The flowers would be from Wild Orchid Crafts  and Live and  Love Crafts and those lovely pearls were a gift at Christmas.

I do hope you have time to pop over and take a look at the very talented Design Team's work on the Fussy and Fancy  blog.  It is a fabulous Challenge, it would be great if you could join in.

As always, thanks for looking, and have a great day!
