Play A Saw

Good morning all, here I am again with another little card.

I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

 

This one was made for my hubby on our wedding anniversary!

The reason behind this odd card is that we went to a party a while back & someone 

actually did play a saw! Yep, the kind you get from hardware stores!

It was incredible! 

We were both stunned. I'd never have believed what a wonderful a 

tune you could produce from a basic saw!

The watch/clock embossed panel was wiped over with gilding wax.

The clippings are from a cider bottle label! Hubby does love a cider!

The lace & buttons are from my stash.

The little sentiment tags are LOTV

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like my card!

Edited to add:- I was contacted via twitter by a lady who makes the most

beautiful music playing a saw. 

If you have a minute, you can watch her here

I’d like to enter this card in the current challenge at

Daring Cardmakers - A Moment In Time

Lavender & Lace

Hi everyone, happy Friday to you!
Is everyone off for the Bank Holiday weekend?

Here I am with the last of my Lavender Lister samples made from the papercrafting kit.

I love using all the little extra bits off of a sheet to make cards.

For this one used the little butons popped up on foam pads.

The sentiment is from one of the sheets too.

I also used one of the patterned paperw with some ric rac binding, a little lace,

and a few little sticky back gems from my stash!

I absolutely love the colours on this one. 

The image would be great for so many different occassions too. 

I added a little die-cut sentiment, the buttons are rescued from a cardigan 

& the lace is from my stash!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Hi All,

It's been a while but I'm back with a couple of samples I made for 

Splash Crafts who've just introduced a cute 

Care Bears Range which is amazing!

Here I've made a little easel card & used the dies to cut out the images.

The images & papers are  really versatile & great to work with.

Available in a format to suit everyone, there are stamps, dies, embosing folders,

a papercrafting kit & it also comes on a USB so you can 

print & craft until your heart's content.

For this little cutie, I simply used the paper & a sentiment

with some ribbon, lace & a couple of pretty little crochet flowers

Thanks for popping in!

I hope you like my little samples!

I'll be back with more soon!

You're Leaving

Good morning all! 

Thought I'd have another go at Blogging!

Not been getting crafty for a while but I found this little offering when I 

was tidying up my blog, so I thought I'd share with it you today!

Might encourage me to do a bit more!

This is a card I made for a friend who was leaving her job a while back!

Why nuns? It's a long story! lol

These ladies are from Mo's Digital Pencil.

The image is called Joy & these ladies certainly look like the epitome of Joy!

I have to say that my friend found just as much Joy in her new venture!

I coloured the image with a mix of flexmarkers & promarkers

then added a dotty background. As I was colouring, a number of songs 

kept popping into my head but the one that stuck was Joyful Joyful,

from Sister Act 2. Here's a little video!

I hope it works & you enjoy the music!

The font I have used for the sentiment is called Nunnery 

which you can download here for free!

The ribbon was in my stash. I got it in a bargain basket at

 a local haberdashers. I gave is a bit of a heat with my heat gun

to crinkle it up a bit, I love that look!

Thanks for stopping in to look at my card.

I appreciate your visits & love reading your comments!

Happy Anniversary

Good morning all!

We've had a great week taking in the atmosphere at the 

Edinburgh Festival & Fringe.

It's back to normal today, back to work & I have a card to share!

This fun little offering was made for my parents anniversary!

I used the 7 Year Itch Decoupage Sheet from La Pashe, 

Wrinklies At The Movies CD.

My Dad is a big Marilyn Monroe fan, & my Mum loves 

the movies, so it worked well for them!

The base is 8"x8" Kraft cardstock.

The Papers are from the My Minds Eye, Best Of Paisley Paperstack.

I kept the layout fairly simple, adding a couple of bits of ribbon & some lace.

The sentiment was printed on some Kraft then cut out using a 

Spellbinders Callout die.

The stars were punched using an amazing Fiskars Punch that I won!

(It feels like it will punch through anything, like it's butter)

I then embossed them using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.

I added a sheer bow to finish it off.

As you can see from the photo, I decorated the inside of the card too!

Thanks for popping by, I hopeyou like it!

Baby Girl

Good morning all, what a quick weekend that was!

I hope you all managed to get ome time to relax & a bit of fun time too!

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has begun, so the city is busy busy busy!

We managed to spend a little time soaking up the atmosphere & I'm

looking forward to my stay-cation next week, when we can make the most of it!

Here's the card I have to share today!

It's a little A6 Baby Girl card.

I used an image from La Pashe for the main focus.

I used a spellbinders circle die to cut it out & a scalloped circle to mat.

The edges have been distressed & inked a little.

The embossing folder is a cuttlebug one if I'm not mistaken.

The sentimet was done on the pc & I used a border punch for the decorative mat.

The ribbons & heart gems are from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today!
