HAPPY SUNDAY AND A BIT OF VINTAGE



Hello Everyone..

A lovely Sunday afternoon today and just finished work, with the rest of the afternoon off till 4pm when it starts all over again..had a few extra clients this weekend and they all keep me pretty busy.

Have a vintage card to share today for a challenge at Vintage Challenge and the theme is birdcages and birds...and that sounded like a fun thing to do.. so here we are.



The sweet image is from the  Graphics Fairy..gosh! there is lot going on here

Flowers from "I am Roses"..[my win on the Emerald Faeries challenge in Dec]

Papers from my stash.. birdcage die from Poppy stamps...chipboard bird on a branch..pearls..Gesso and a feather I found floating on the ground a long time ago and I just had to pick it up..



A closer view...


This sweet frame with a bird is from Rosies Studio..set of 6 for $3..could not go wrong there..and they are all different..and it had the Gesso treatment too..



And a side view..the flower behind the "Love "sentiment is from an old vintage Wedding gown..One of my clients cuts them off a gown she has at home..so very nice of her.

So that's me done..off for a lazy afternoon on the couch...too hot today for anything else and it is Art Deco this weekend here in Napier..planes buzzing around all day and visitors and locals all dressed up to kill.
Last night they were in evening attire and looked stunning..about 3000 people are gathered in town for this...so we went for a wander last night checking everyone out..

Okay the planes have now upset my dog Harry..he is out their barking his head off and chasing them from one side of the house to the other..I swear one day he will catch one..

See you tomorrow and thanks ever so much for stopping by..

The second challenge is SWEET 7 DESIGNS CHALLENGE   [Puppy Love]

Well, that's me for tonight...been a long hot day..but did notice driving down  a local street , the leaves were flying off the trees and rolling down the road, so that means Autumn is so very close..

DELIGHTFUL THURSDAY DT



Hello Everyone...

So happy that another Thursday has come round so fast as I've been dying to share this fun card using a brilliant and cute image from Digital Delights  ...

This is Gemma the Giraffe ..and photographed in the most wonderful sunlight and all by accident...



There she is...standing in her jungle surrounded by butterflies as the late afternoon sun does it's thing..

Gemma was coloured with copics and I added the usual MB trees..fiskars grass on a backing paper with bamboo shoots  and leaves which seemed perfect for a jungle themed card.

The sun is a button and popped onto some hessian and added to the rows too and a row of flowers which fell off 'My Lady's' floral decoration...

There was a close up photo of Gemma but I accidently deleted it...but here is a side view..



The butterflies were suspended using the plastic cover off my foam tape packet..cut into strips and they wobble and float around..

So there we go...hopefully a little bit of inspiration using a delightful image from Digital Delights  and if you would like to see some more fabulous inspiration you could check out the blog HERE

WHAT CAN I SHOW YOU TODAY?



Hello everyone...

A glorious Sunday afternoon with a slight breeze and have some awful rubbish on the telly...so had a wander through my files and found a card or two I can share..or should I say another card and box set...






A wedding card and matching box for a client as a surprise for her to give to her Grandaughter..she was telling me how expensive the shop bought cards were and they were nothing really special...so I did this for her...and she was delighted..





This is the lid of the box and I love my new ribbon with the soft wire inside to hold it in place...
Beautiful new creamy lace from the local emporium.. and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts...




The card front.. and the sentiment stamp I have had for donkey's years from Rubbadubbadoo.
The pearl loops from WOC and I  made my grandsons sit and make me a heap of them yesterday all different colours and they did a great job and had a wonderful time...

So there we go...all done and time for a Nana nap before I head back to work..maybe even surf the channels on the telly to find something that makes sense..lol..wont count my chickens though...guess it will be Titanic again..love that movie.

Thanks ever so much for stopping by...will see you tomorrow.

FIRST POST ON NEW PC - FINGERS CROSSED


Hello Everyone..

Well, here goes nothing..just hope I remember how to go where I should be going, but I'm sure I will do okay..

My first post on my new PC and sharing a 21st birthday card and box...


TA DAA...had to go the long way round to get it..but it is here...

This is the card and box together..



The open card...flowers from WOC and my new MB 'Fern' die...love these papers but I'm sorry I cannot remember where they are from...they have been hiding in my stash for a long time.




The front of the box with computer made sentiment and little  key charm..



Front of the card and the pretty embellishment on the bow is an old earring..

So there we go...I did it.

All my editing and watermarking is all done on this wacky machine now..photos and all [.once I found the hole to put the chip in]..

Although I took photos today and it saved them  somewhere when I wasn't watching and now have to go find them..
