Couple of cards

Here are a couple of recent cards made using July & August ScrapaGoGo kits!

My 1st beading attempt

At Wednesday Craft Group this week we had jewelry making session. This was something that I had never attempted before, but had a complete starters kit that I had won through the Quick & Crafty magazine way back earlier in the year. To be completely honest I had been thinking of selling the kit, because I had no inclination to use it at all. In fact even when spreading the kit out on the table yesterday, I was very tempted to put it away again LOL, however Suz & Sarah convinced me to just have a play & make something!!

I am so pleased that I took the plunge, because I had such fun & made myself this wearable bracelet.

Watch this space folks because I think am now hooked........

My half of the LO swap

Here is the LO that I created with the photos that Sandie sent to me in the swap. I am pleased with how it turned out, but I did find the vivid colour in the photos tricky. I didn't wish to turn them B&W, like I normally do with colour I find hard to work with, because I think the colours in this case was important with these photos!

I hope Sandie will be pleased with the LO....it's in the post on it's way back to her.....

Layout Page Swap

I was teamed up with Sandie for the swap, because we are both in the UK. This is the LO that Sandie created for me, using 3 photos of my grandson that I emailed to her. I love what she has done with them and the title is great. The design is perfect for the photos I provided and it will be added to my album with pride!
Thanks Sandie....

Arty Girlz Challenge #46

Here is a quick card I have sat down and created this evening for the Arty Girlz challenge #46, which this week see's the theme of 'Vintage'
I decided to use efemera and make a collage, highlighting with copper decopatch paint. I'm not sure if it classes as a 'moo card' or not as I'm not sure of dimentions needed for it to class as a Moo??

So proud....

I am so proud of my step daughter right now. She created her 1st card for the Crafty Monkeys challenge blog today, using the theme of 'Summer Holidays' and it's wonderful.

She took the idea from a magazine {cardmaking & papercraft} she was looking through today and liked the picture. The original in the mag was a card made using silk painting, but she recreated it {with a little help from me} using cardstock, paper and lots of hand drawing/colouring and cutting.

If you would like to see her wonderful card, please pop over to Daisy's blog and have a look.

I have also been crafting today, but I'm afraid as it is all DT work I am not allowed to disclose it yet!

Sunday Crop

I attending the North Warrington crop yesterday with my very good friend Val, where I met loads of hugely talented ladies & Paul. I also met up with Lynne , Marie, Debs, Julia, Jane, Joan, Cal, Lianne & Sarah to name but a few, but the icing on the cake for me was meeting Cathy for the 1st time. Cathy & myself have been chatting on various forums for the past 4yrs & it was amzing to meet & chat in person yesterday after all this time. I wasn't disappointed either, because she is as lovely in real life as she is on the internet.

The LO that I completed yesterday is of my youngest grandson Ethan, who is almost 2yrs old. These pictures were taken in his garden a couple of weeks ago, & these photos really do depict just what a mischieviously cheeky & gorgeous little boy he is LOL he is an absolute delight.

This LO also fills the criteria for the Arty Girlz challenge #45 the theme this week is 'Blue' !!
