New Home



 
Afternoon crafters, still on a theme of moving house hope you like this card. We are hoping to move on the 14th of July so still busy sorting through everything in readiness to downsize and we are having to be ruthless and less sentimental over what to find a new home. Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather. I will keep adding posts after I have found time to do a little crafting as I haven't packed everything yet. I expect that my crafty stash will be the last to be boxed up...Have a great day
 
Best Wendy

Moving house




 
Morning my crafting friends, long time no see but I hope you are all well and enjoying th sunny weather today. We had a fab weekend away in Aberdovy with a group of friends and it was great to take a break from packing and sorting out. Things are progressing with our house move and we hope to get a date for signing and exchanging of contracts and on that theme I decided to take time out and make a card to leave for our purchasers so hope they like it.

Baby Girl Easel Card








 
Evening  Crafting friends, I wanted to see if I could put this card through my printer to get the background for my topper and am pleased to say it was successful and the flower pattern was from Pink Petticoat. The topper was from my stash and was from a kit previously purchased and I'm not sure where from but thought it would look nice on the front of this card. I added some hand cut flowers and flourishes cut with a Spellbinder D-Lite Sprigs die. For some extra bling I used Wow glitter and some faux pearls.
 
Have a lovely evening...

Purple Passion








Afternoon crafting friends, well its ages since I did anything on my blog as so much has been happening here in Cardiff. We have been busy selling our house and looking for another one to purchase and we are thrilled to have found one we like so fingers crossed it all goes through without any hitches.
    We have also been on our annual sailing holiday around the Greek Islands and had a lovely time meeting old friends and new and have come back refreshed to begin packing which is no mean feat when your down sizing and have to choose what you want to keep or pass on.
   Anyway I managed to do a little crafting today as I needed a couple of cards for family birthdays coming up so this is one of the cards I made.

One for the Boys





 
Hi Everyone, hope you had a good weekend and have recharged the batteries. I had a lovely mothers day on Sunday and was spoilt by all the family with lots of new crafting goodies so I am very blessed to have such a loving family. I've made today's cards as I have some boys birthdays coming up and thought these might fit  the bill being such Cute Shirts and they are just the right size to hold  Gift Vouchers. I am going to add handkerchiefs with their names stamped in but left them out for the purpose of this blog. I  Hope you like them as much as I do and they are so easy to do with a little origami skill, if you want the instructions please message me. I finished them by adding a tie onto which I added a square faux pearl and kept the inside simple as my grandsons are at the age where they don't like things too "lovie dovie" lol. I am entering them into the following challenges;-
