Sweetdreams Lovely Lady x

I rarely share my personal life on my blog but here is a card first seen on one my very first blog posts nearly two years ago....

It was made for my Nan on her 90th Birthday 3 years ago....

That special lady went to join my Grandad up in heaven this weekend, so I will sadly not be joining my DT sisters for the next few weeks but will be with them all in spirit during the Vinyl Cricut Crawl next Monday and back with Anything Goes on the 24th September. 

FCCB Challenge 159 MUM x

Happy Monday !!

Yippee !!

Today life goes back to normal, unsociable hours, working weekends, days off split !!

CRAFTING TIME BACK !!

Mother's Day is the theme of this weeks FCCB Challenge 159

We celebrate Mother's Day in March here in the UK so I have changed the theme very slightly for my DT project and created a Pinflair Easel and plaque with MUM on it

The easels are really easy to put together and are made from shiny coated card, I painted it all with white Gesso and then brushed black Gesso lightly over it

 I used Frayed Burlap distress ink to soften the white and Rock Candy Crackle Paint as a top coat to seal it, once it was dry I stuck it together with Pinflair glue gel

I painted the plaque with white acrylic metallic paint to soften the black Gesso and embossed a Kanban music stamp in the top right corner

I used paper flowers from the Ribbon Girl with some punched leaves and butterflies to finish

My all important Cricut cut comes from the Artiste cartridge and is MUM cut x4 stuck together and stuck onto the banner that comes in the Pinflair kit

I'm looking forward to having more time to look round everyone's blogs this week so I hope you will join us over at FCCB for this fab challenge

Please remember to use a least one Cricut cartridge and name the cartridge(s) used

The challenge is open from 0800 today until 1900 Sunday evening

Happy Birthday Trish x

Here I have a Kanban card made for my daughters fiancée's mum for her 50th Birthday, we went to her Birthday party last night and a good night was had by all. 

I used a sketch from My Sweet Stop with the intention of entering the card into last weeks Saturday Challenge but was so busy making decorations for the party I totally forgot to do it until now !!

I do still have time to enter it into A Gem of a Challenge "Lavender and Lace" the challenge runs until Jan 4th 2013....just as well really lol !!

 

I had to cover the topper as I had the clock angle completely wrong, I used Cricut Artiste for the numbers and letters.

The flowers and lace came from The Ribbon Girl ....so pretty.
