Thinking of you.......

I kept the front of a card I had sent to me a long time ago as I thought the image was just adorable and so pleased I did as I needed to make a quick 'Get Well' card for a friend and thought this liitle image fitted the bill.
The embossed background is one of Sue Wilsons Pin Point embossing folders and I've just added glossy accents to the droplets of water....

Anniversary card....


 We had a lovely day down in Sidmouth yesterday its was a little bit chilly to start with but when the sun came out it was lovely....always nice to go down to the seaside to blow away the cobwebs...

This is a card I made for our friends  wedding anniversary...I found this gorgeous pre-coloured image on the web...the backing is SU woodgrain stamp and the green leafy die in one of Sue Wilsons.....
Hope you are all enjoying todays sunshine...

Train Spotting..


 I'm such a bad blogger at the moment but I have been busy 'behind the scenes'..lOl....
I've done lots of sewing and have just completed another quilt this time for our youngest grandson (photos later) also I've been busy preparing for our July club meeting so I haven't been idle!

I was asked to make a train card for an 80th and this image from the Kevin Walsh Out and About paper pad fitted the request and I've also used my new corner die which is from Crafters Companion Diesire range.. 

Its a beautiful day today so do you think our summer is on its way??

Thanks for looking

Club night....................






It was our Club Night last night and we gave the girls 6 sheets of double sided papers from Craftwork Cards 'The Potting shed' 8 x 8 paper pad,  a plant pot template and also a plain 6 x 6 card.  The inside of the plant pot had a pop out flowers which they also did.  Its a brilliant pad to work with and of course gardening covers both male and female.....

We had so many samples there last night and these are some of mine....

Where's the sunshine gone we've gone from summer back to winter well thats what  it feels like today.....

Remember Encaustic Art?..........

A few years ago a few ladies from our craft group did an Encaustic Art workshop including myself...
I found this little gem tucked away in a drawer its only a small image but thought it was too nice to throw away but at the time I wasn't very pleased with my efforts.. so decided to use the image to make a card.  All the card pieces are scraps and I am quite pleased how it turned out, the birds are a little bit large to say the least!

The weather outside isn't very nice so its either a day sewing or a day crafting..

Have a good weekend...

Butterfly Basics...

Haven't been able to do much crafting for a week or more as I am suffering from Vertigo, even using my PC keyboard isn't easy but yesterday I was determined to make a card as I have a couple of stamp sets that haven't yet been opened....

One of my new sets was Butterfly Basics from Stampin Up....I also used a Cuttlebug wire mesh embossing folder....DSP is also from Stampin Up....

Hope you are all making the most of this Bank Holiday weekend and for a change its dry down here in Somerset where we are...
