If the shoe fits

Hi All

Very apt this card! If the Shoe fits!! because I do buy lol I keep all my shoes in box's with a picture on the front so I do not have to look in all the box's when I need that special pair I know bit over the top but it works for me.

I do have to resort to seeking them in now as hubby thinks I have far to many oh bags as well but that is another story, anyway I digress and back to my card.

The image is a Bugaboo and coloured with Copic, I have been saving this paper as it is my last piece sob sob I love it also the combination of Pink and Green.

Thanks for popping in to see me, I really appreciate your visits and have a great day all.

Birthday Celebration and Bracelet

Hi Everyone,

 Hope your all having a lovely romantic day, we are going out for dinner tonight, steak. fish (for him) and a few drinks yummy, looking forward to it. I can show off my new hair do, I had it cut and burgandy streaks put in, I think I must be rebelling or going through a mid life crisis lol.


 Anyway onto my card it's a Birthday Celebration.

I used a Bugaboo image and coloured her with Copic, this is for a friends Birthday so I hope she likes it.

I also finished my bracelet that I wanted to show you.

It's odd count peyote made with silver beads, flowers, swarovski bicon's, pearls, silver leafs and lots of silver bling and to finish I added  a ruffle.

It has a zip clasp on it.

Ok thats all for now and I shall see you all later, thanks for popping by to see me.

Rock Boy Card

Hi Everyone

Today I have a boy card to show you, it is a Kenny K image and coloured with Copic.

The papers are from a pad just for boys and I love it as I have a hard time finding papers for men and boys.
I use a punch with musical notes from EK and kept the negatives to put in the corner of the image, I also decorated the inside to match oops forgot to take pic of that bit ekk.

I have been so busy with orders lately I have not had time to blog or pop round to see you, sorry about that but it does earn me a bit of pin money to spend on more stash ekkk more stash I hear Brian say lol.

All orders finished for now so I can have a little hop around and see what's going on and what I have missed.

Thanks for popping in to see me I do appreciate your visits and look forward to seeing yours.

My Craft Room

Hi All

Today I thought I would show you my craft room, it's in bit of a state but by this afternoon it will be tidy again hehehe.

As I walk from my lounge to my craft room, I am lucky because they join by glass doors so I can still chat with hubby at the same time as I am crafting and keep my eye on him when he is ill,

This is one side where I keep my inks, paints, pens,chalks, oil and other pastles, sprays gesso etc, below that I have 2 sets of white drawers that I keep ribbon and flowers in and on top of that my folders of nessties and other dies, below the home sweet home I keep all my lace and charms and Tim Holtz things.

Some of my punches and under those shelfs quilting things

Then we move to the other side I keep all my button collection in the grey drawers and jars, love buttons especially vintage. Stamps above that, these are the ones I use the most. My racks of paper and I have 2 more the other side of the room next to that all my quilting stuff. I keep my copic refills and spare pens above the telly. Below the telly I keep jewellery gems and stones, next door, drawers I have more stamps and albums and die cuts.

 Moving alone this is more of my jewellery making things and boxes of stones and other gems plus kits.
Oh the little drawers are from my pro markers so cute.

More paper and jewellery things

Moving along my little desk I keep my cameo and sewing machine and you can see into the lounge,

Under the desk I keep sketching pads, journals and painting canvas's

The wall near my patio doors I keep my stensils, more ink pads, glitter, more tim holtz and punches.

Back to the beginning and my other table I keep my other machines and gismos on and my lovely copic

Geez I have far too much stuff  Vagabone, cuttlebug, big shot, grand calebra, a silhouette cameo and cricut, binding machine, but I love it all lol. 

oh just seen the embosser on the net ohhhhhh stop it Linda

This is work in progress from last night

Practising my drawing this morning but for this afternoon its back to the Valentine cards I must get finished.

Hope you liked my little tour and I do promise to be a good girl, ohh darn it just ordered some Penny Black stamps this morning !!!! but I do need them hehehe.

My Beautiful Granddaughter

Hi everyone

I hope your all well and having fun crafting, I am much better now and feel on top notch and ready to craft like mad.

I would like to share with you a mixed media scrapbook page I did of my granddaughter Caitylin, this picture was taken when we went to Turkey, so many to do!!!  not all like this I might add as this was an experiment but I do like it.

I used paint,stencils, inks, layers of Bo Bunny papers, textured paste, beads, flowers, lace, punches, bling, pearls and pins oh anything else I could get my hands on hehehe.

I hope you like it as much as I do, working on my second one and then I have orders for Valentine cards I must get finished. I do have projects for some workshops I am doing and I will show you those later, you will all be sick of me posting too much if I give you them all at once lol.

Have a great day and I shall see you all later, thanks for popping in to see me I love your visits.

Mixed Media Today

Hi Everyone

A bit of mixed media art today for you, this is a canvas that I did using my new goodies I got for my B/D the first time I have had a chance to experiment again and I loved it.

I used acrylic paints, wax crayons and stencil's on the background and different washes to get the effect I wanted, just go with the flow I say and I did ! not knowing what the outcome would be and really had a good time in the process. 

The hearts are 3 dimensional but unfortunately I could not get the picture to show that but I am sure you will get what I mean, I also used modelling medium mixed with pink paint on the small one to get a raised effect.

The house I just doodled along with other bits of doodling using pitt pens and finally added text that says Home is where the Heart is, oh forgot to say I did add a bit of string to the top.


This is the first chance I had to post since before Christmas as I have been ill, I caught the worst cold going and it went straight to my chest and completely floored me, never felt so ill in all my life and I only just getting myself back together again but still have the most horrendous cough that I cannot shift but hey ho I am back on my feet :-).

Happy New Year to you all and I hope you had a good one, thanks for popping in to see me and I shall be hopping today round your blogs.

Back in Blog land again

Hi Everyone

Christmas creations today.

I took some time off  from my blog after mum died as I just did have the heart to write anything but that does not mean I have not been busy, busy is not the word for it but it did kept my mind off things and now I feel like coming back to my blog and getting back into the swing of things.

Just some of my creations and these are what I sold at the craft fair I did a couple of weeks ago and I am pleased to say they all sold so well.

Mint rounds and Smartie Santa's with home made hat

Hershey Bars

All wrapped up with Christmas theme, took me ages to wrap 400 phew

Love this card

Thank you all for the messages and cards I received on the death of my mum it was greatly appreciated and meant a lot to me that so many of you cared. I found it very traumatic as I was not expecting it and I was in shock for quiet a time but I know she is at peace now and with my dad and she would not want me to be sad all the time, day by day I get better.


I am now going to make a coffee with a brandy as I have a stinker of a cold then popping round to see you all as I have missed you, thanks for popping in.

Goodbye sweet mum

Just a little message to let you all know my mum passed away while I was in the UK, I did know she was in hospital and was getting better but before I got to Yorkshire she had a stroke, I did get to speak to her and she did recognise me then she passed away, my sweet hubby said she was waiting for me to come home before she left to go and be with dad.

I had a beautiful and sweetest mum ever in this world and shall miss her very much, love you mum.

Shabby Chic Necklace

Good Morning All

Hope your having a great week, it been pretty busy in this craft place as I have orders to fill and I have just finished three Shabby necklaces and the are all packed up and ready to go on their travels to Saudi to be sold.

The last time I sent my craft items to be sold they did really well and I was over the moon with the result but they said we want more shabby chic so a bit of shabby they are getting lol, hope they do as well as the last lot!! 

So onto my post for today and this is one of the last necklaces that sold I meant to post this ages ago and forgot.

It's a lilac one this time with lovely lace, pearls in white and lilac, diamante's, swarovski  rondel's, pearl nuggets,vintage buttons, ribbon silver chain, bling spacers and hearts.

 I used a Prima lace flower this time with pearls, bead caps and hearts.

 The brooch is made of pearls and diamante pieces.

 

I also used amethyst and rose quarts and added a diamante bow

 

I hope you like as much as I do, the one I wear is in pale brown, pink and cream, everyone wants it but it is staying with me as it's the first one I ever made.


Thanks for popping in to see me today I do appreciate your visits and look forward to seeing your creations, then back in my craft room for the day ohhhh after tea and cake of course hehe.

Magnolia Today

Hi Everyone

Just finished this Magnolia card today and just got time to blog before I start preparing for dinner tonight, Cornish pasty's yummy.

I stamped her  twice and used one as a mask, then stamped the background I coloured the whole image with Copic and added extra grass.

I was going to use my mini background but I left it in Cyprus so I had to use the big one but I think it came out ok. I added some W/O flowers, La La Land corner die and a butterfly die, bling and ribbon from my stash.
