Well I have now found my long lost blog.  Let me get focused for a creative 2021. Where i will share my creations. 

It's been so long.

We i'm so sorry that i've not been on here for a good few months,  but hopefully now i can make some regular postings  of my work.

Busy few weeks

Time is just flying by,  not been around here for a while,  as been feeling a little under the weather and hubby working a way  a few weeks :-(  but on the brighter side, he's back home and hopefully things will get back to normal.

Have managed to make a few cards which I will upload into my gallery as soon as I can. 

Still trying to master Craft Artist,  a few steps forward and then taking  2 steps back, but it won't beat me as it's such a brilliant programme.   


Well weather is not brilliant, but at least it's dry  still very cold, 

Happy crafting everyone and will pop back again soon.

Bookatrix

Evening all

Been busy so time to catch up, managed to get 2 book atrix  and boxes done last week, 

Above done in Burgundy and cream with matching ribbon and roses.

This one is done in choclate brown and cream,   Not window boxes  this time.

Some new cards

 

This is our grandsons birthday card, using wellington, I put is name and birthday on the face of the clock. put come candies on and mounted on strip paper before onto white card and finish with a brown ribbon.

 

 

 

Took a colour photo using serif programme I turned it into black and white,  I then mounted it into a frame on the programme and printed it out onto photograph paper.  Cut it out using the Go Kreate dies,  Cut out Black card in a larger size die and white larger again,  mounted each layer and finish with embellishments. 

Just a quick wellington card with a few gens added to the flowers, some board peel offs and finish with a ribbon.   used purple and lilac for Matt and layering 

This was another friendship swap card i done,  I just love doing these and also receiving cards back off fellow crafter's.    I used the go-kreate shaped die again, and cut the base card in lilac, also used the spellbinder die and cut onto white card, I then distressed with edges with lilac and stamped the garden scene from idigo blu collection.  Stamped and colour in the tilda image with pro markers, cut out and mounted.  finished off with some lilac flowers and embellishments. 

This is a desk calender I made.  Cut the main easel card in white and cut out the same size in black and a size smaller in black.  Cut out Marianne dies.  Assembled like an easle card, mounted the Marianne dies and mounted the calender.  Used the lace across the centre as the stop and mounted gems to give a little more support. 

 

My sister just love this - inside her birthday card, as she is a Christmas baby. 

March Uploads

Well go a lot to catch up on, sorry not be able to post on here, but I'll hopefully make up for it now.
Thank you for popping into my blog today and hopefully you will like what you see.   

The above is a  cake we made for one of the boys in work with my husband who loves cow pies!

Again for a work mate of my husband who is a look a like for odd job 

 

 Above card similar to the bookatrix, only a quicker version,  these are go kreate dies mounted on foam tape, each layer is rolled before layering.  Used corner peel offs.   

 Friendship swap card for Bev ( March swap)

I used the free stamp that came in Marchs magazine.

 

 The above card is what my nine year old granddaughter made for her nanny for mothers day.

She choose a image of wellington CD and then we cut it in the GD,  used gems on the flowers and finished it off with a triangle and cocktail stick to make the flag. 

 

 

 The above is a picture of an old pop car, which I made into black and white using Serif programme, and completed the card using the Serif programme.  distress a white card with soot black to carry the black & White theme through and mounted. 

Using the mini bookatrix board I created with 30th birthday card for our daughter,  and using the go-Kreate die I cut the lid of the box for the accetate.  Mounted pink gems  to follow the colour theme.

 I was asked to create a vintage look card with this photo.  distressed the photo, and also the backing paper with I down loaded,  made a triangle with happy birthday again distressed, and rolled the corners up, and finish with some candies which again i distressed. 

 

 

 Another Card my granddaughter made for her mum this time, for mothers day, this time she used taty teddy download and some embelishments and gems.  Finished with a printed out greeting which she then used through the big shoot with a go kreate die.

 

My hubbies work mate who they call sweede, so thought this would be ideal as he has no real interests.
