Wish you where here......

Well I think Summer is here and that my card for this week is very fitting to the weather but before I go onto that I would like to thank everyone for their support and lovely comments, I hope you all had a good week-end we went to see my newest family member our little Poppy I can't believe she has changed so much she really is a little doll.
Well let's go to the challenge over at OSCC who is a NEW sponsor to us and this is the first time I have worked with these stamps (I hope I have done them justice)

SUMMER COLOURS

So do you see what i meant when I said it was fitting to the weather? I know I say it every week but I do hope you like the card, I have tried a few techniques that I haven't done for a good few years they are masking, stamping (2nd generation). I also used my spray to do the sea sand and sky (I used my Letraset airbrush) with my copic pens.

For this card I have used:

Sponsor image - Beach Umberella

Copic pens

Grand oval dies

drink and fruit stickers - stash

DP and chipboard embellies -

Stamps - clear impressions

Lazy day ticket - Hobby House (from Sailor Crew Card Making Kit)

Add a Tag ......

Hello everyone I'm sorry it's half way through the week before I blogged but everything has been going mad here we had a lovely week-end weather wise Saturday was Armed Forces Day, it seems everyone turned out for it but by the time we had finished work got changed and went down to the beach it had finished. So after a short stroll along the beach went home to enjoy the rest of the sunshine only to get a call to say that our new Mummy was in Hospital and she is still in it's been really worrying for us all as we haven't been able to pop down to see her yet due to work commitments.

This week-end was the start of a new challenge at OSCC the challenge is ADD a TAG and as usual it's not a hard task only for me as I don't do Tags they are one of my worst nightmares as I never know what to do with one, but I think I may have pulled this one out of the bag, I saw a show on Create and Craft with Mel were she made a tag I thought I liked it so much I would have a go mine was done on MDF blank that I got off my friend Sue ( you really should pop over and see her) were her's was done on card. Our lovely Sponsor this week is Fred She Said

but I am still without a printer and had to go without a sponsored image I hope you like what I have done with the tag.
For this tag I have used:
An MDF blank tag shape ( thanks sue)
Various papers that have been in my stash for ever,
A black Copic pen for the edges
The inchy was also one of Sue's,
A Marianne Butterfly Die
and the Ribbon was off something from Thornton's.

a Gift for Grace

Good morning I hope everyone is ok in blog land we here are just Peachy as they say and I hope that stands right with you too, do you know last year I had a bumble bee nest in my garden under a footpath next to my Greenhouse ok I thought they are only here til September then they go off....... NO today I found another nest in another part of the garden. The thing is you cannot kill the bees as we need them for so many things and they don't bother you either I love them but rather they get stood on I have to put a bottle crate over them to keep them safe. Yesterday I had another play in the craft room with the intention to make something different and this is what I made, I made this for my Grand Daughter Grace who is 7 going on 30 and I'm sure you know what I mean with the kids of today.
for this I used:
A heart shaped box from Tesco,
A butterfly from the Works,
2 Ladybirds from Grimsby Crafts,
Pink string Pearls from Running with Scissors (will be in to see you soon Tracey for some more),
Ribbon and Lace from my stash,
Bassil card,
Flowers from Wilko's,
White pearl flourishes from The Hobby House.

Vintage Rose

Happy Monday hope you are all well the weather here is now beginning to resemble SUMMER yes the words that make people smile, Sympathies also go out to the Victims and their families of the latest Tornado just in case you are all wondering what is happening over at OSCC well we are on a bit of a break. There is no need to panic though as wee are only away for a few weeks due to Shelley having Family commitments, I hope all goes well Shelley.
So seeing as I'm not making a card this week-end I thought I would turn my hand to something different for a change, I have so much odds and ends Jewelery making wise and as it's just made it's way to the craft room I just had to make something so here they are let me know what you think, I think the colour of this is Antique Gold and the main bit of the necklace was re-cycled from an old one.
