New Home

Hi Everyone. Are you having a good day? Thought I would post my New Home card before going to work.
Some friends of ours bought this house a while back, but it was rented out,so 6 months later the tennants have left and they get to move in and redesign.

I am entering this over at My Craft Spot  challenge #16 - ink it up. As I am sure you all know,I never make anything without adding lots of ink, so here is my card .....

I made a made an envelope to go with it.

Circles

Hi and Happy Monday Friends. I'm having some blogger issues(again!) and haven't been able to see my followers ( or anybody else's.) But I am delighted to say that according to my stats I now have 100 followers!! Thank-you,that means a lot to me.
I needed to make a card for a nearly teenage boy. Trendy and simple is where I went with this....well it's certainly simple!!...raincheck on trendy,Lol.

Well,with my addiction to challenges,you can guess that this card is being entered into one, over at Birthday Sundaes  challenge #17, to use orange,green and white.

I embossed the white cardstock  and the circles are cut from accent essentials. Hardly use this cart,but quite like how this turned out. The gift voucher inside will make it popular with the recipient!

Hope your week is off to a flying start. Pop back tomorrow if you get a chance as I have a special card I have been  making to give to friends that moved this weekend.

Hugs,Jayne x

Rain Dear!

Hi,hope your week is going well. A huge warm welcome to all my followers, I hope you enjoy my blog. Can't believe I'm nearly at 100 followers,thank you.
Our weather in the UK has taken a nose dive since the weekend, (I know,no real surprises there then!!) and I can safely say that I won't need to water the plants tonight!
Thought I would play along in a couple of christmas challenges and strangely enough a  reindeer was what came to mind first! Lol.

 Card Recipe

Winter Frolic - reindeer cut at 3",doodled,inked

Scarf embossed,lights - glossy accents

Acetate embossed with sizzix snowflakes folder and attached with eyelets

Reindeer popped on 3d foam

Forever Friends stamp

The challenges I am entering him into are...

Celebrate the Occasion - #21 - Christmas in July(no red)

The Paper Variety - Christmas in July

ABC Christmas Challenge  - N is for No Nonsense(no designer papers)

I would have given him a red scarf and a red nose, but think the fuchsia worked okay. The photos don't do the acetate justice as it gives a really great shiny background and really sets off whatever image you add. You can tell I add this a lot especially for my christmas cards when I'm keeping my image simple. I save all the clear packaging off everything and it embosses great.

Have a good day,off to catch up on your blogs.

Fantabulous Cricut Guest Designer

Hi Everyone and welcome to my blog. I am absolutely delighted to tell you that I am Guest Designer over at Fantabulous Cricut today. I love their site and what a great honour it is to be chosen this week, so thrilled!

The challenge this week is 'A Pool Theme' - must make a water based project. Here's my take of the animals having some 'pool fun'........

It's a step card and very easy to make. I took an A4 piece of white card and creased the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th line on my score board then folded the remainder of the card in half.

Recipe

Nate's ABCs - elephant 3.5", crocodile 2.25"

Create a Critter - hippo 2.5", water 1.25"

Everyday Paper Dolls - raindrops and splashes 2.5"

MS punch - grass

Embossing, inking and doodling

Lots of 3d foam and glossy accents

I like how this turned out and hope you do too. Do join in the fun this week over at Fantabulous Cricut. Can't wait to see what you make.
