Feeling under the Weather?

 

 A friend of mine has recently suffered a miscarriage. So I sent her this card as she was feeling "under the weather".  I hope it will go a little way to cheer her up.

Hope all of you are well

Totally Gorjuss DT card - circles

 

 

Hi all
We have a circle challenge for you over at Totally Gorjuss this week. The sponsor is Crafters Companion and you could use your win to stock up on the new Spectrum Noirs.

I have made a scalloped circular easel card. I have added a computer generated sentiment, some flowers from Wild Orchid, and 2 butterflies cut from dies and inked with Distress inks. I think this is quite a cute card. What do youn think?

I do hope you get a"round" to joining us at TG this week. We are currently 122 on Craft Blogs  register. We would love to get into the top 100.

Have a fab weekend

CAS card

Hi all
I have been busy in Tiara making mode so cards have gone by the wayside a bit. But here is one I made recently. A CAS card. The stamp is a Clarity stamp and I used a Brown Adirondack ink. I punched 3 flowers from a scrap of Textured card I had, and added 3 Poundland gems in the middle of each. A very quick and easy card.

have a lovely day and thank you for visiting

 On Monday I spent the day making some Tiara's and hair combs. Here is one the Tiara's I made. It will be for sale in my Etsy shop later today.

This is a beautiful Tiara .Perfect for a bride, bridesmaid or a prom.

Description:
Beautiful handwrapped tiara. Pearls and clear crystals( not real) have been wrapped around the band. It has a crystal (not real) flower accent.
This tiara looks stunning on.

I would love your feedback.
Thank you for looking

Hope all of you are safe after all this horrendous rioting

I know all us crafters love a good bargain when we see one

And what about the price?  An amazing £4. That is approx 44p per key
Go on girls. grab yourselves a bargain

Candy winner...at last!..................and 2 cards

 

 Well I am sorry it has taken me so long to announce my wedding candy winner.
Life has been hectic with the wedding. We took them to the airport yesterdayat  an unearthly hour to go on their Honeymoon.

Also it was our 29th Wedding Annivesary yesterday and we have been out on family meals to celebrate.
Unfortunately Dan is still quite ill and missed one of the meals. He hasn't eaten for over a week. He tried the meal we went on yesterday because by saturday he felt improved. Within a very short time he was ill again, shivering, feeling sick and generally unwell. He may be 20 and nearly 6 foot but he is still my poorly little baby!

I have made a lot of jewellery and this morning made a Tiara. I will post pics later this week.
Here are 2  comissioned cards. But because I was not around the people sourced cards from elsewhere. So if anyone is after a 25th Silver wedding Anniversary card. I have 2 for sale!. Just email me.

So for the Wedding candy winner
Thank you so much to those of you who entered. I only had 8 entries but I loved the stories you told. They were touching and amusing. It has been soooooooo hard to choose a winner. You are all winners in my heart. But I have to choose one and it is.....................................................Coops

Congrats Nic. If you could email me I will send the stamp out to you

Hugs to everyone

Hi
What a great day we had on Saturday. The weather was perfect, the setting was gorgeous, the guests looked wonderful and the Bride, Emma looked beautiful.
Everyone enjoyed the day and it was great that there were no problems along the way. However I did cry all the way through the service!
My sister made the cupcakes ( Ruthies Cupcakes) , my friend Tracey did the flowers, ( Flowers from the Heart)
And I of course made all the invites, favour Boxes, place cards, Post Box and Table Plan.

These are just some of the photos I took I hope you like them.
