OUR GARDEN today from my crafting table thought u might like to see it. Has SUMMER Come?????


Roses and Ribbons SQUIGGLES latest competition , top card has Evie holding a bunch of Roses and her dress has lovely frills , I have added  a rose with ribbons up on left side top a bit like a fascinator.


This card is  Rosie and I made her skirt of ribbons along with a rose and small pieces of ribbon  attached. top left side has some bling and the easel is held behind more roses.


Rena & I went to a make and take at Cullen Crafts yesterday  pm we enjoyed the class and this is my attempt of the canvas I have had a few ideas i would like to do another we were given the step by step instruction's so keep your eyes open.

Having made some retro cards for the oldest granddaughter these are little 3 x3inch cards for my younger granddaughter for her friends. we will put some sparkly confetti  in each envelope when sending them out
My  oldest grandaughter has just had a retro makeover of her bedroom and it inspired me to do some cards for
her to give her pals for their birthday's,.



This is a new style for me and it was made for my youngest son Paul who is recovering from a very bad collarbone injury The Chinese words are appropriate /health/love etc I hope he has a fast recovery.

A Little bit of fun


In  the may edition of Papercraft & Inspiration i saw an article about Quilling now I happen to have an unopened craft box that has been in a cupboard for years. They do say keep something for 7 years and you will find a use for it.

the 2 ladies on the easel are new Squiggle Digi's which have been adjusted somewhat  by me for a bit of fun go onto Squiggle stamps and see the correct versions.


The 1st one is Jessabelles Flight but I turned her into a Hairstylist. her belt is for holding her scissors,clips etc. her goggles are sunglasses and her cap has been changed to form a different hairstyle I think I will call her Jemma.


the 2nd one is Jessabelles Stitches she has stitches all over her body so I have made her stitchless and now into a pretty young lady holding a heart I should have left the stitches on the heart and could have she was a beauty with a broken heart. This has been a lot of fun to do hope you like then.

GIRLY GIRLS WITH LOTS OF SPARKLE




  It is cold today so decided to do some flowers and used some of a  box of white petals for decorating wedding tables £1 from poundland added some candy from craftworks in different colours, some sparkles and my new Jessables no stitches. the other stamp is called the Artist. Going down to see my grandchildren in Edinburgh so will see what they think of them. I thought they might be good to put prom pictures in as keepsakes.Just a bit of sparkly fun. thankyou for looking.xxx
