Back Home

I am now back after a wonderful 2 week Mediterannean cruise with my husband. It was our 30th Wedding Anniversary before we went so It was like a celebration. If you have never tried a cruise you MUST!!!!! Its wonderful. This was our 3rd cruise. Will show some pics later.

Before I left Blogger wouldn't work for me so I couldn't show my Totally Gorjuss DT cards. So here is the one for the Baby challenge.

A clean and simple look.

I will post the other card later.

Howzat!

 
I hope you are all well. I really don't like this cold weather though.
I want to say a quick "hello" to 2 of the girls who come to my Tuesday class. They don't have blogs but have started to follow me by subscribing to my blog via email.

So "Hi Karen and Jane". I call these 2 my naughty girls!!!! I have to keep them separate!!. Seriously though we have a great time on Tuesday afternoons and it is lovely when we have "show and tell" at the beginning to see what everyone has made in the week. It really is great to see how everyone is progressing.

On to my card for today

I have done a boys card using this lovely LOTV stamp. I have kept it minimum. I don't think the male of the species like all the embellies us girls like!

Keep warm.

I will be putting up some more blog candy later today

" I remember"....Totally Gorjuss DT card

 

Hi everyone

I do hope you are all well. As it is Saturday it means we have a new challenge  for you at Totally Gorjuss

The theme is 

"I remember"

The sponsor is Fantastic Ribbons

So we want to see a card or project that brings back some memory to you. I have read my fellow DT's memorys and they are lovely. 

For my card, this is my special memory

"I can remember when I was a little girl that my Dad used to play the guitar. He was very musical as he played Saxophone and violin too. But it was the guitar I really liked. I would always ask him to teach me too. He  just never had the time to do it.
He was also very artistic. He did a lot of oil paintings when I was a child and I remember the smell of those paints and oils. Maybe that's where I got my flair for Card making from?!!!!!!!"

 And here is a picture of my lovely Dad at Emma's  ( his eldest grandchild) wedding this July. Can you believe he will be 87 in April?!!!!!!

Hanglar card

 

 

Here is a Hanglar card I made recently, She is coloured with Promarkers.
I am entering this into the following challenges

Totally Gorjuss DT card - String!

 

 

 Happy weekend to all of you. What is the weather like by you?
This is a timed post so by now I will know who has one American Idol. The 2 young singers, Lauren and Scotty are fabulous. In fact they make a great duo!I don't mind who wins.
At Totally Gorjuss this week we want you to use string on your cards. No problems I thought until I started to make mine! The sponsor this week is Horseshoe Crafts

I have wrapped string around my card twice. What connection string has with a boy astronaut I don't know . But in Blogland anything is possible
I have coloured one of my new LOTV boy stamps (with the new Marvy Le Plume alcohol pens.)  Aren't they just adorable. I wish I was on their DT so that I could play with them all the time. The ticket ( you need one if you are to travel in a  space rocket) is a Magnolia stamp.
I have made a few other boy cads so I will post them soon.

Have you answered my teaser on the previous post? I will be sending a little prize to the winning answer

LOTV "summer romance " card

 

 

 After what seems like an age I have made a card for a challenge! LOTV challenge "Summer"
This is a card is for some friends' anniversary. My papers are from a stack I have had forever!. I have used Promarkers to colour it. The sentiment is a LOTV one. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I have just had some of the boy LOTV stamps. I will be posting what I have done with them soon. They are FAB!!!!!
Tomorrow I am running a Craft day. I have several of my ladies coming. One is doing scrapbooking whilst the rest are making cards. I will post their lovely cards for you to see

Pink LOTV Fairy card

 

Hope you are all well and ready for another Bank Holiday. I know I am!
I am off out to lunch with friends today so I am looking forward to that.

Here is a card I have made using a LOTV fairy image and sentiment which I have coloured with Promarkers.
The papers are Trimcrafts First Edition "Spring Feast" available from Hotshotcrafts
This is a bigger card than the ones I usually make 7.5" square and has lovely scalloped edges which I think sets it off beautifully. It has the addition of ribbon, gems and a charm too.
