I have discovered oh so many brilliant blogs....

where to start???

They are all cards, flowers and butterflies.

Here are some of the cards I made last year.

this one was download from cardsuprint.com then printed off on cardstock, cut out, edged around with pencils & copic's, then assembled. When it was finally finished I gave it to my sister in-law as a get well card ~ thinking of you

this design was printed off from CardsUPrint.com, edged around with pencils & copic's, then layered (stacked)

purchased digi stamp from...??? Oh I know I should file things better, but life happens & I didn't. The bird is so cute... Coloured with my wonderful

Copic Ciao's

Purchased Digi Stamp....????

Yet again my filing leaves a lot to be desired, when I search & get the details I will adjust this information.

Coloured with my beautiful Copic's ~ which by the way I am still trying to teach myself how to use them

Here I have used my McGill Flower cutters to make Peony Roses

for my Mother's Birthday Card.

They were edged with ink pads. I cheated on this card & used 3D sticker butterflies.

Hand Stitched Christmas Card.

They are so easy to do......

Stamp'n Up Doileys.

I tried to give them the effect of hanging baubles. Oh well, maybe the next time I try this style they will go better.....

Sympathy Card

Cricut Cutout for the cross, and wording

Again, used the Cricut to cut out the scroll & wording...

I like my Cricut, except for the lack of space here. It needs to be packed away each time, which is very annoying.....

Now here is an extra special card, made by my eldest granddaughter Aimee, nearly 11 years old. She just loves spending time with her Nana, doing crafty things.

Blog Candy

I've been trying to work out how to do a link..... mmmmm.... whats this I see? A button just above here that has Link on it.....maybe I should try this one...

Anyway I wanted to try to link to another blog, as Bettands hobbykrok is giving away candy, and I just love candy!!!!
http://bettandshobbykrok.blogspot.com/

Ha! did it, and without having to pull out all of my hair !!!!!!
I'm thinking I deserve to win this candy just for the fact that I worked out how to link......

Finally Finished!!!

Finally finished the Christmas thank you gifts for my grandchildren to give to their individual teachers.   Take a look at the pictures.  

The chuppa chup flowers in the mugs are for the teachers, and the ones done in the little pots are for the girls from my local knitting group (these are going to be placed on the tables @ our Christmas luncheon ~ mid December).

Lets just say, that I am totally chuppa chupped out now, I am so over flowers & pots & ribbons, It really wouldn't make much difference to my life if I never saw them again.

I have made 34 flower pots with 3 chuppa chup flowers in each one, along with 11 coffee mugs with 3 chuppa chup flowers also in each of these.

Friday 19th August 2011

Well here I am finally with my own blog! Who would have thought.... I am going to attempt to put on here some of my little crafty thingo's that I do or make, such as

• wedding invitation designs
• table decoration ideas
• candle decorating (wedding themes)
• Card Making
• Copic Markers (I have only just got these and they are so so wonderful ~ well worth the money)
• Butterflies Galore ~ anything at all ~ to do with butterflies
• & of course the colour PURPLE..... now really what other colour is there???

And anything else that I can think of that may be of interest to anyone.
As this is my first blog, please be patient with me, as it is a Learning Process for me.
