Ribbon, Lace and Hearts

Can you think of a more romantic combination than ribbon, lace and hearts?  Last week it was our lots and lots of years wedding anniversary and this is the card I made for my OH.

I went totally OTT on the romantic stake, but I figured it was worth is as we were going away for 10 days .  We had a fantastic time staying at a seaside hotel in Suffolk, which was the perfect combination of old and new, with great food .... I really enjoyed sampling their  cocktails.

Back to the card, the gold hearts were cut with a Memory Box die and backed with pink glitter card.  the sentiment is by Kanban Crafts and everything else came from my stash.

This very pink creations would be just the ticket for the current Crafty Boots Challege, which is to use pink in your project.

Jolly Pink

I think I may have mentioned once or twice that we have recently been blessed with a small handful of little girls born into the family.

Here is the card I made for another of my nieces and her husband to welcome their beautiful baby daughter, Mary.

This cute toy Giraffe is from Teddy Bo & Co and is called 'Jolly the G ..... Jiraffe!'  After colouring him with Promarkers, I mounted it on some gold mirri and pink pearlescent card.  The backing papers are from a Forever Friends, new baby stack.  The sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up.

Of course, I did not go empty handed when I visited, I took a couple of tiny cardigans for the new baby.

One in pink....

and one in white.

This card fits in perfectly with the current Crafty Boots Challenge, which is to use pink in your project.

Just Buzzzing By

It is already Mid Challenge reminder time at Crafty Boots Challenges, where we are celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness month with a 'Pink' challenge.

This Tiddly Inks image reminded me of all those wonderful ladies who dress in pink to do the 'Race for Life' in order to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness, I thank you all for caring.  The image is called 'Happy Bee Day' and looks a real treat all dressed in pink.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted her on gold mirri and pink glitter card.  I cut the Memory Box butterfly from gold mirri and added some flat backed gems.  The ribbon is from my stash and the Breast Cancer Awareness sentiment is from McMahon Five Designs, which is sadly no longer with us.

Do not forget to enter your pink projects into this Crafty Boots Challenge, and good luck.

Another Anniversary

It's Friday again, where do the weeks go?

The current Crafty Boots Challenge is 'Pink'.  Here is quick and simple wedding anniversary card using the Memory Box Butterfly Exhibit die.

I inked the edges of the card with pink and mounted it on red pearlised card and inked in the corners of a frame using a marker pen.  The stamp is from Stampin' Up and I made the hearts using a punch.  The sentiment is from my Kanban Crafts stash.

Have a good weekend.

With This Ring

Hi

I thought I had scheduled this post for last Friday, but I must have done something wrong because it never happened.  I made this card for Crafty Boots 'Silver or Gold' Challenges, which ended last Sunday.  Opps!

It is a CAS design but I love the simplicity.  I layered gold mirri and some Stampin' Up silver Glimmer Paper.  The sentiment is also a Stampin' Up stamp.  The ribbon and rings were from my stash.

In the Pink

Monday morning again.  I hope you had a good weekend.  We spent the weekend with our oldest and dearest friends, we have known each other so long we are family.  It was a fantastic weekend and great to get together.

It is time for a new challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges and for the next two weeks the theme of the challenge is 'Pink'.  I am playing host to this Challenge and I wanted to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness.  Breast cancer can affect men as well as women, according to Cancer Research UK a staggering 1,300 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer every day.  As many of you will know, October is set aside every year, not just in the UK but all around the world, to raise awareness of breast cancer and to raise money for research into this disturbingly common cancer.  The colour pink has become synonymous with this event.

Use pink in your project to show support for this event and make sure you check yourself regularly for any changes in your breast tissue.

There seems to be lots and lots of new babies about at the moment, we had three little girls join our family over the last month or so.  I have been making sure I get my fair share of cuddles.

This little sweetheart is from Mo's Digital Pencil, it is called Baby Shower.  I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on pink pearlescent card and gold mirri.  The backing paper is from my stash and the sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up.

Knitting came to me rather late in life but I have discovered a new obsession, knitting tiny cardigans for tiny people.  With three new little girls in the family, my knitting needles have been in hyperdrive. Here are a few of my latest creations .....

The Crafty Boots Design Team have been inspired by this Challenge and they have made so amazing projects, please take a peek for yourself.

Flower of the Holy Night

I have another of my gold cards to share with you today.  This one features a Stampin' Up stamp of a poinsettia - did you know that it is sometimes called the Flower of the Holy Night?  I stumbled across this little bit of information on the internet a few days ago.

I stamped the image onto some linen effect card several, using gold ink.  I then cut out the flower following the different layers.  I curled the leaves and used some glue gel to layer up my flower.  I then embossed some white card and layered it with gold mirri card.  Finally I added some red flat backed gems to the centre of the flower.
