Frilly Groovi plate ......

 

A few of my 'Groovi' friends came round one day and we had a lot of fun swapping and sharing Groovi plates.... this is one of my Groovi cards I made using one of the frilly circle plates (thank you Rose)  the corners are from Tina's swirly plates..... the centre floral image from a sheet of pre coloured images given to me by my friend Jan ....just embossed the flowers from behind and addes a little extra colour.....

Thanks for looking..

Heartfelt papers....

 

Another card made from the Heartfelt Creations 12 x 12  paper pad that I made a while ago....So quick and easy to make a card from this beautiful pad....

Still spending time with the grandchildren so no craft room time...

Trainee patchworker...

My youngest granddaughter Grace who is 9 years old just loves anything crafty including sewing but she had never used a sewing machine before so we spent a lovely day together and I taught Grace how to use my sewing machine.
The first thing we did was to make a simple drawstring bag and we cut out flower shapes of fabric with a couple of my craft dies and this was the result.
All I've done is to actually cut the fabric out for her....

 

Grace then decided she would like to have a go at simple quilting so we found some scraps of fabric, Grace decided on the design and away she went...all I did on this piece of work was to tack the binding on for her as she kept pricking her finger on the sharp pins! 

 Its all Grace's own work, ok a little wobble on the binding edge but as you can see she was so happy with her quilt....I think Father Christmas might just bring her a sewing box with some fabric in.... I think its such a joy that she wants to learn to sew and knit,  my mum taught me when I was very young which enabled me to make my daughters clothes.

Thanks for stopping by ...

Self Closing Boxes

 

It was our club meeting on Wednesday evening and we made self closing boxes...I found these on Ann's Happy Stampers blog,

The girls made both sizes, the small ones are lovely for Christmas as you can put things like a nail polish, lipstick and small bits of jewellery.

We also used ribbon, mini magnets and velcro dots to close them....

Off to see the grandchildren now...

Simon Says Furry Christmas.....

 

My first Christmas card!  

I've wanted this stamp set from Simon Says for a very long time but couldn't find it anywhere in the UK even tried EBay but no luck but thanks to my lovely blogging friend Darnell of djkardcreations I now have this really cute stamp set in my 'claws'...

I've coloured these cute little critters with copic pens, paper pieced the hat and scarf and used a memory box snowflake to complete my card.. I have lots of ideas for this cute little set...

Thank you once again Darnell I am one very happy lady...

Hunkydory garden........

 

 This card should have scheduled last week whilst we were away but someone forgot to 'publish' it so it didn't!

Not a brilliant photograph of this Hunkydory image but it does look mcuh better in the 'flesh'.... the border frame is from Spellninders and I found a little hose pipe and a trowel embellishment in my embellishments box which I popped on...just added some foliage and flowers (just seen that I've forgotten to give the flowers a centre) and my card was finished.

I will try and catch up on your blogs at somepoint over the next couple of days...

Club Night - Groovi plate

Tonight is our monthly craft club meeting and the girls will be making a parchment card using one of the Groovi plate images, this plate is Tina's Florals and Corners 2... the girls can 3D the flowers if they wish...these are my sample cards.

Amazing how different colours change the look of your card

 

 I really enjoyed making these samples so much so  I have already ordered a Groovi plate to make a start on my Christmas cards.....
