Art Deco Birthday

Why do weekends pass so quickly?  

Think I will have Monday-itis tomorrow,

 not worked on a Monday since  the middle of October!  

Get on with the post, tonight I have another Decoupage card I did at the beginning of last year.  Unfortunately my Disk Drive of computer is unwell, so have been unable to use the Debbie Moore Disk that I got this image from, maybe one day

Emily & Emile's 1st Birthday

Good Evening

Well near the end of November, and I really haven't been good

at blogging this month (nothing new really).  When on computer now, it's Christmas Shopping, reading emails or should I say deleting emails, catching up on Craft Blogs, and of course pinterest!   However, tonight I have resisted all, especially to give you a new card (or two), all be it from 2011!

Hearts, Hearts, Hearts (continued from Sneak Peak)

Hi there, I was teasing you a few weeks ago (maybe I should say months ago) with a sneak peak.  Seen this on other blogs, and 

thought I would do the same.......

......... why not?

Well I am back today to let you know what I have been up to!

One of my friends was getting married, she wanted to make her own wedding stationery, but after purchasing the card, ribbon, gems etc I had an SOS phone call.  She had handcut out a heart - but didn't feel it was good enough to stick on front of the invites.  I had to agree with her, she wanted to know how I cut hearts.  So I volunteered to rescue her, by agreeing to cut, print and fold, as she still wanted to be the Bride that made the invitations.

My job - Cut 200 hearts of each size, (so there was 600 hearts)

print the inserts

and cut/fold card to size.

And now....

... a guest designer.....

Mrs K Sim.... aka the Bride....

What do you think?

For someone who has never made cards - she has done a good job!

So, once I was finished, there was a few offcuts

and below is a picture I made for the Happy Couple.

I only have a photo of the end result - before it was framed!!

ingredients:  4 different embossing folders,

 computer for wording,

 flower punch,

 butterfly punch

 1 gem

Armistice Sunday

Good Morning.

Not managed to Blog for some time, so have made a special effort for

this post.  I made this Poppy last year,  and feel that it has to appear on my blog today, Armistice Sunday.

Thinking of everyone in the Forces,

 who fought (or still fights) for our country, 

those who made it home to tell the tale, 

and those that weren't so lucky, 

our thoughts are with your family 

whom think of you with a sorry heart but with great pride.

The finished Poppy.  

The top picture does not give the true colour of the silver lined red seed beads, below is more how it looks to the naked eye!

Thanks for Looking and hope to be back soon with more posts this month!

Take care

Marshmallows!

 My word, it's Monday evening already!  It ain't have getting dark early now. 

 I do enjoy in the dark winter nights,  to do something crafty.  

 Today's post is of some knitting I did three blankets earlier in the year, 

as you can see 2 boys and a girl!

I was calling them pompom blankets, but I overheard a young
mum the other day say Marshmallow Blanket! 

I think I will get more of this wool

really easy to knit up, and every parents that 

I have given this too have been absolutely delighted with.  

Have a good night, and hope to be back again real soon.

Romeo! Romeo! Where thou art...

...Romeo, eh me,  I can't remember what comes next!  It has been a long time since I did Shakespeare at school!  This image from Lily of Valley did remind me of my vision of Romeo & Juliet.  

I have inserted 2 images of the card, taken from different view so you can see the wording down the side (which to be honest was a mistake when I folded the card, so fixed it by printing Husband down the edge)

Image:  Lily of Valley (this was freebie image that was in a free gift from Papercraft inspiration)

Prisma Pencils to colour

Distress Ink to edge

Marianne Creatable Heart Die

Circle Nesties

sentiment printed on computer
