I am back!....

Hello my blogging friends...we are back having spent two lovely weeks in Yorkshire one of our favourite places....our first week was glorious sunshine and last week although cooler but still sunny was dry apart from one afternoon.  We finished off our holiday by having a silver service evening meal on the North Yorkshire Moors railway and eating in a carriage that dated back to 1910....a wonderful evening which we will certainly do again...
I was very good, no crafty shopping except on line...lOl...lOl...and it was nice to have a crafting break....

Its great to be back in the craft room with all the washing an ironing done so I don't feel guilty!
Todays card is for a birthday next month...the image is a Penny Black one which is coloured with pencils...backing papers are from a  Basic Grey paper pad  called Kioshi.  EK Success Punch used for the water and 3 rolled flowers on the Marianne swirl...

I hope to catch up with you all soon...

Craft Club projects...Shadow card....

Just a quick post today...this is a shadow box card the ladies made....all my samples are made using Stampin UP stamps.  The beauty of this card is that it folds flat for posting....

thanks for looking....

Craft Club projects...Embossing folder

One of the projects we are doing on our Craft night is making a Rose using one of the Creative Expressions  embossing folder shown above... then make a complete card using the Rose they have made and also using the folder as a backing paper.  Here are some of my samples:

The two cards above I have inked the embossing folder before running the folder through my embossing machine.

A very simple white and silver card....

For this card I used cor-dinations paper ran it through my Bigshot then sanded it down...used 3 nesties and a sentiment as my focal point.

This was another inked embossed background but this time using a different side of the embossing folder...just added a few pearls and also used one of the 'flowers' for my sentiment.

Tomorrow I will post a couple of cards from the other project we did.

Taking a break........

The heading for this card is quite apt as I going to take a couple of weeks off from blogging and spend some time with my DH.  Its been a busy few weeks with grandchildren etc so now its our time....I shall be quietly colouring in the background and I shall also post pictures of what we are making at our craft club this month.
My card is another of the LOTV cutie images which is coloured with copics and
I've used some crystal effects on the water.
Backing papers are from Echo Park 'its a boys life'..... Martha Stewart border Zig Zag punch used along the bottom and the cogs we made using a Stampin UP cog punch I have.

See you all soon
