Little Claire - Crawley Day Makes

 

Good afternoon, hope you have had a great day.  The girls and I went clothes shopping today, got some wondeful bargains.

 

I just wanted to share the cards that the ladies made in my workshops yesterday, at the Little Claire - Crawley Day.  Please do forgive the photos, they aren't my best lol :)

 

Firstly above, we used the gorgeous stamp set 'Bright Blue Skies' and sentiment.  We have stuck a little butterfly onto some acetate to make it fly above the boy image.

 

 

Secondly, we made this slider card using my favourite stamp set, 'Buttons & Bows'. We used the stitching stamp from 'Georgina's Buttons & Stitching' set of stamps to add the stitches to the edges.

 

 

Here is the card out fully. We coloured in with Promarkers, added some 'handmade' ribbon as a pully and through the button.

 

 

Lastly 'The Magic of Christmas' stampset has these cute little wellie-wearing geese. There are three great main images and lots of sentiments in this set.  We have added bakers twine and a lovely snowflake to finish the card off.

 

We had a wonderfully fun day and Steve and David made hunderds of cups of teas.

 

Will be back tommorrow with my October DT club stamp cards.  Have a good evening, I will be watching episode three of Downton :)

Little Claire Monthly Challenge # 25 'Straight-Up'

Hello, so lovely to be back in blogland.  I am without a computer as my brand new one has had to go back to the shop to be fixed.  Am very miffed as I have only had it a couple of months and do rely on it so much.  What did we do without them back in the dark ages lol!  Thanks to my lovely Jess who has lent me hers inbetween doing her homework, so that I could load this card.

 

Anyway, yesterday was my birthday.  I had a lovely family day with David and the girlies.  Got spoilt rotten by family and friends, so much of it crafty bits and bobs and had so many cards they have filled up my bay window.  What a lucky girly I am! I got to choose what I wanted to have for tea, didn't want to go out as lots of the box, so we had fish and chips.  Didn't know that wine went with this particular meal, but I will certainly be trying it again.

 

Here is my card above for the new challenge over at Little Claire's .  This month we want to see card that stand up, hence the title.  The DT girlies have made lots of gorgeous cards, do pop on over via the link to take a look.  There will be lots of Little Claire goodies on offer, so get creating!

 

On my card I have used a cute little image called 'Garden Fun', SU cardstock, papers from a new paperpack called 'Blank Canvas', Die-Namics Grass die and wooden buttons and leaves.  The sentiment is one that goes really well with the image and is from the 'Super Six' set of stamps.

 

Am having a crafty day today and it's uniform ironing day, so have decided to put on the Christmas edition of Downton Abbey to get in the mood for the brand new series this evening, me and the girlies are sooooo excited, have the wine chilling and choccies ready, if you love it as much as we do, enjoy!

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Sketch Saturday Challenge # 223 'Jen's DT Week' - The Ribbon Girl



Good evening, am a little late in loading this card as my server has been down.  The sketch above is another great one to follow and the prize for this challenge is a £10 voucher from The Ribbon Girl.

 









My card has wonderful new image from Little Claire's from their new club stamp -      available now via their website.

 

 

 I have been rummaging through my box of crafty scraps and have made my card using them.  Some fabulous papers from a great paper pack, Baker's Twine and a little key charm.  The sentiment is from Little Claire as well which is included in the set.

I had a wonderful time demoing at Biggin Hill, so lovely to see so many familiar faces and catch up. Am busy getting the girls ready to go back to school on Thursday, well Georgia is off to the Paralympics with the school, am so jealous, tickets are so hard to get hold of.

Right, back to my craft room, am busy tidying and sorting as recently brought myself some new cupboards for my craft bits.

Have a wonderful evening whatever you do.

Sketch Saturday Challenge # 222

Good afternoon, it's brand new sketch time over at Sketch Saturday and it's a really good one as you can see. Am a little late in loading this, am having loading problems again, think my server is the problem, may have to visit my local pc shop yet again,  wish my pc would sort itself out :(

This week at Sketch Saturday we are joined by Sandy at the The Craft Barn

Sandy is kindly giving away a voucher for £10.00 for the winner of the challenge. Do pop on over and take inspiration from the other DT's cards, they are fabulous!

Here is my little card.  I have kept it 'less is more' again, using a gorgeous little stamp from Papermania Urban Stamps called 'Endomologist'.  The Spellbinder nestie is 'Postage Stamps ', the ribbon is from Fabulous Ribbons, the papers are once again Papermania.  The sentiment and punch are from Stamping Up.  Have doodled around the image and have added a couple of black pearls.

Have had a lovely day with the family today.  Have also been busy prepping for the forthcoming Little Claire workshop, so am going to spend Bank Holiday Monday chillaxing, as Georgia would say lol.  We are hoping to go out for the day, depending on the weather.

Have a great bank holiday and thanks for stopping by.

Retro Buttons & Bows

Hi there, hope you are enjoying your Tuesday? Bank holiday on the way this weekend, so lots of DIY being done in my house.  David doesn't know it yet, so shush don't tell him what I have in store for him lol!

Here is a little card I made at Stamperama - Stevenage the other weekend.  It is using the August club stamp from Little Claire called 'Buttons & Bows'.  I really love this little set, as you can probably tell.  I have made a few samples using it.  I just love all of the little elements, buttons, birds and sewing.

I have used some gorgeous retro papers from Do Crafts called 'Happy Days', the 'Stitching & Button's stamp set also from LC, a great Die-namics border die (also from Little Claire website), some bakers twine and little pearls.  Have coloured image in with Promarkers.

Had a fabulous day out with friends, swimming and a walk around a local park, now back to the prepping for a forthcoming workshop day.

Thanks for stopping on by,

hugs
