80th Birthday Star Book
My lovely next-door neighbour, Harry, recently celebrated his 80th birthday so I made him a special card. He really does deserve something a bit special – he is the oldest paper-boy in the district . He always gets our weekend papers for us and we do appreciate that. I’ve made several variations...
Tri-Shutter 60th Birthday
A very good friend of ours, one of our GoldWing buddies, was sixty in December so I decided to make him a special card. It took me hours just looking through all our photographs to find suitable ones to use on the Tri-Shutter Card – partly because I get sidetracked very easily and get involved in...
Stamp Club Challenge
I’m trying something different…… throwing out a challenge to the ladies at my local Stamp Club. We meet once a month and I took a whole bunch of items with me last month and shared them out giving everyone two months to see what they can come up with. The items I took were empty cat...
Unusual Shaped Card
At our Stamp Club last month, we were challenged with making an unusual shaped card for our ‘homework’. So, last week I took along the round card I’d made for the Fresh as a Daisy competition at Happy Stampers Festival plus this flower. I started with some plain, heavy, white watercolour...
Fresh as a Daisy
Last weekend I attended the Happy Stampers Spring Stamp Festival at Port Sunlight. As usual, there was a competition, this year entitled ‘Fresh as a Daisy’. It had a size limitation and the stipulation that it contain mainly stamped images, of course. Over the years I have entered this...
Wine Coasters
We have quite a few parties and unofficial meetings at our house and some visitors like to drink wine! Not me, of course, anyone who knows me will confirm that I never touch a drop!!! One of the problems I find is that people tend to put a glass down somewhere and then can’t remember which...
Diamond Wedding
My husband’s aunt and uncle are about to celebrate 60 years together! Wow, some achievement. I’m not really very good at Bookatrix cards but thought I’d have another go for this special occasion. There are a few more photos
MojoMonday 77
The challenge for this week can be seen at Mojo Monday – I think I will send this one to my sister as a thank you card. The main card base is a heavy, dark green textured card folded in half and stamped in red ink with a small, art deco stamp; an extra piece of the same was wrapped in a pretty silver...
Red, Black and Gold
At our Stamping Club we have the option to do some ‘homework’ – we’re given a challenge and then we describe how we made the cards at the next meeting. Some of them are really tricky, you don’t always feel inspired, but this theme – make a card using only red, black and gold...
Art Nouveau Canvasses
My second set of canvasses were inspired by some lovely embroidery designs I got from Embroidery Library. Absolutely gorgeous designs but far too big to be embroidered on any articles of clothing – though they’d probably look really good on something like a shopping bag. Anyhow, I stitched...
