Hubby's Birthday card

Hi everyone i hope you are all well and happy , things are finally settling down for me now and it apears as though my crafting mojo is finaly finished on its hollibobs and is starting to join me again !

Today i have to share with you the card ive made for my hubby's birthday im glad to say he loved it and i hope you will too .

 

And here it is

 

 

Hes a huge fan of the Beatles so i used an old single from 1967 ( it was scratched and unplayable lol ) me being me doesnt throw anything away and thought one day i will find a use for it and i have !

I covered an 8x8 card blank in card from my stash with pianos on ( i think its Kanban ) and stuck it to to the card blank with Pritt Stick and atatched the record with double sided tape

I then layered up the Juke box although its hard to see on the pic . Made the rosette from paper that had music on it and cut a circle out of black card and atatched ribbons

to finish i coloured in a couple of guitars and stuck them on with doublke sided tape and the same with the musical notes .

 

He was so pleased with it bless him !

Getting ready for Christmas

Hi everyone hope that you are all well and happy !

As its now only a few short weeks until Christmas i thought that i would share with you a wreath that i have created using material on a polystyrene base .

I cut out 1" square pieces of the material and gently poked each one into the base using a small embossing tool and added polystyrene glue here and there on the base before poking in the material squares .

 

And here it is !

 

 

I have been making these for a year or so now and as its nearing Christmas ( YAY ) and with some encouragement from hubby ive added this one to my blog to show you all and would apreciate your views on it !

I have just finished a gorgeous red and gold one and will add a picture of it tomorrow  . the wonderful thing about making these wreaths is that they can be done in any colour using any materials and for any time of year .

as always i apreciate all your support and comments .

A little bit of House Mouse Thinking of You

Hi everyone before i talk about todays make i just want to take a moment to thank you all for your continued support and comments on my blog , im really happy with how its going considering ive only been blogging since mid April !

so THANK YOU !!!!!

Right now down to buisness , today i have to share with you a House Mouse card ive created and i think its soooo cute but having said that it is House Mouse and they are ALL cute .

 

And here it is !

 

 

I wanted to keep this card fairly minimal as i think the image itself is enough and didnt want anything to be taken away from it .

Heres how i made it

I used a 5x7 pearlised card blank in pale yellow from my stash and attatched to that at an angle a piece of textured card stock from the Papermania Capsule warm sunshine collection wich i distressed around the edges using a Tonic Studios paper distresser .

I had previously cut out from an A4 sheet the elements for the House Mouse topper and decoupaged them using sticky foam pads and attatched it to the card .

To finish i added the " Thinking of You "  sentiment , a lovely green satin edged organza ribbon bow and three Card Candi in the topper corners .

I think you will be seeing more of these gorgeous little creatures as ive got the bug for them now !

Thank you Debbi Taylor for my package of goodies wich this image and more were part of !

My makes for LEJ Designs clean and simple challenge

Hi everyone hope that you are all well and happy , i have done very little blogging of late , life is rather hectic at the moment plus my mojo has gone on its hollibobs me thinks lol but im hoping that its on its way back again as the ideas are starting to filter through to the old grey matter again ! YAY !

Anyway here are my two makes for LEJ designs and what fun ive had with them !

Number one

Now then this stunning image is designed by the very talented Lindsay Jolly and she is called an angels touch .

I coloured her in using blush , senna and honeycombe promarkers and mounted her onto a pale blue pearlised card blank to wich i had already attatched a piece of white chiffon and a length of silvery white satin edged ribbon . I then added marabou feathers to form her wings with some gems dotted around the edge of them . i used a sentiment and a few square gems to finish ! 

Number two

now this little cutie is an image given to us by 1 of our sponsors QKR Stampede and i think you will agree he is rather cute , i again used a selection of promarkers to colour him , pear green , sage , black henna and tan and i mounted him onto a card blank that id inked with Tim Holtz evergreen bough distress ink , i used some actual crepe bandage for his " poorly " and finished it all by embelishing with the lovely gingham bow ( i do love gingham at the moment ) ! and as you can see ive even added my blog name to the pic , gave myself a pat on the back for that ! Huge thanks to Debbi Taylor for helping ,me with that !

I hope that you like what i have created
