I came on today to have a look and cannot see anybodies blogs, no blog list, just goes to my post list and that's it.
Would appreciate any idea's what I have done, or where I can look.

A Beautiful Day

Hi Everyone.

What a year so far for me.
Manic is an understatement....Stop the world I wanna get off!!

I am off on a Cruise this time next week, am very excited as I have never been on one b4.
We are having a week around the Med taking in Rome and Venice aswell as a few other places.

My Daughter's Wedding was fantastic, such a lovely weekend and I have some photo's to show you.
The happy couple are back from Honeymoon now, so I have been busy making lots of thank you cards.
Christmas cards are on the books next (I have been to my first Christmas Fair Sale already!)
Got some other's booked too, so over the next few weeks I hope to have some of my makes to show you.

Bye for now peeps.

How time flies when ya having fun!

Hello Ladies

As the title says.....where does time go, can u believe it's the middle of June already?
Scary.....My Daughter's Wedding is creeping nearer and nearer (3rd September)....Looking forward to it, but please go slower!

I have made a few cards for my Daughter's work friends, so here they are....

The top card is made using a Woodware stamp, love this set, I think it's nice to make a card other than a 6x6 which is my favorite size...I think this image looked better on this longer size.
The other two cards are made using the pre-coloured LOTV baby images, so very useful when you are busy....and busy for me at the moment means.......Football. Not missed a match yet, so gunna finish now, cos u guessed it.....I am waiting to watch Italy play Ireland.....c ya. X

What a nice crafty day today.

Hello Ladies

What a nice spell of warmish weather we are having, hope this is the way it's gunna be this coming Summer!

Today I have been to the Craft Group I run once a month on a Monday. We had a lovely crafty day, I was making lots of covers for the note books I make (i will show these soon)
Two hours of chat and craft (that is why the group is called "Cut n' Chat"!!)..

I couple of weeks ago I made this little wallet for my Daughter's work friend.
They are giving a voucher to a newly Engaged couple.
The image is by LOTV (a topper, no colouring by me today!)
The wallet, I make myself from an A4 sheet of cardstock. I have covered this cardstock in a sheet of little heart paper from my stash and added a pretty ribbon to tie it with. The sentiment is pc generated.
Didn't think to show the inside of the wallet, there are two little pockets one on each side to put a message and the voucher in. Make a lot of these at Christmas for people who want to give a voucher/cash instead of a pressy.

Inky Play for me today!

Hi Ladies

Had a day off from Sewing today, after a three day sewing spree, I have had an "Inky Play".
At Port Sunlight on Saturday last weekend the lovely lady Jean on Crafty Individuals was demoing stamping one of their new stamps, and I just couldn't resist buying it and having a go today to see if I could replicate what she showed me.....I am really pleased at how easy it was and such fun too.
My m-i-law, loves her "Notelets", so she will be getting a set of these any day soon.
Hope you like them....The original card had a spot of decoupage on it, but I don't do this if they are for a notelet as it makes them too thick. But they did look lovely with the flower and butterfly in 3d.
When I make some more I will try the decoupage and see how they look.

I started with a sheet of Crafty Individuals glossy cardstock.
Using several of Tim Holt's distress inks I used some lovely brushes to apply a light layer of ink. Some of the images have just two inks one on each half, others have several colours on.
I then used a Memory Box stencil in chicken wire and used ink through to add depth.
I stamped the Crafty Individual flower stamp using Versafine jet black ink.

I am going to join in on Crafty Individuals blog challenge below:

Have a lovely day in this nice warm spell we are having.
