ALTER SOMETHING..

 Hello everyone,

Back with something altered, when I'm at a little bit of a loss I alter something and nine times out often it will be playing cards, jumbo size or otherwise, it doesn't matter, as long as I do something I feel like I had a productive day..

Playing cards, I chopped their heads off.

then added torn papers here and there..

reached for my game dies, I will need those soon..

all spread out in order and ready to go..

Mmmmmm...................

EVENTUALLY, they had gold ink around the edges

and popped back in the holes but I mixed them up a bit.

and they each got a dangle, a set of 

playing cards or a left over head..along 

with a tab top..

so that was my day, a fun project and can use

 them in journals or booklets, or whatever..

So, there you go, thank you so much for dropping in

I'll see you soon..

FLYING HIGH..

 Hello everyone,

I'm sharing a commission card for a little fellow who loves, at this stage, planes.

I had some fabulous baby boy or just boy papers in my stash, 12 x 12's

and also this cute little aeroplane die set..

fiddly but fun and not hard.

all my elements done and onto 

the card with lots of clouds too.

This lady always like a tri fold so I aim to please..

double oval and somewhere to write.

and this incredible book with lots to fussy cut out.

and I chose this little fellow but needed a small pilot for the plane, so...

i used the smallest punch I have and cut some little bears out of 

my papers

see, there he is flying his plane.

and I popped him in the die cut plane..

now it looks like he is flying a bigger plane and he was the perfect size..

Card front using this pilot boy fussy cut out..

planes everywhere we go..

added a plane to the verse writing spot

Wide open inside..

So there you go, he loved it and was very happy, then his Mum took, it put it on the shelf, it is for looking at not flying around the room !!

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

Crafters Cafe  ( lots and lots of colours)

ROUND WE GO..

 Hello everyone,

More round tags,  this time, nautical  themed, to use up stickers.

Using my kraft folder again I die cut circles, then again in light gray but a bit smaller

and again in nave blue..

fished out my nautical PET stickers ( No white edges )

Then decided they got a bit lost on the navy so cut out 

more circles from old book pages..and that didn't work either, so, 

I ripped them up..

and just covered half of the circle

added the stickers of ships and some netting, but not onion bag, 

 I was given this one and not sure what was in it, 

with no smell..

seagulls and spatters

and a charm each

and before we knew it I had 8 round nautical tags..

to use.. who knows where, but they were fun..

Could use them for gift tags as you can write on the back..

So there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you Sunday ( my Sunday)

STITCHES...DT

 Hello everyone,

 I'm on fire with my posting lately, probably as my mojo went wandering a bit so a good time to edit and post what I've been up tol..but today is DT day for LITTLE RED WAGON and our fabulous JanR is hostess and her theme for this week is...STITCHES.

This is what I came up with...

I'm obsessed with kraft colour bases only because

 I find it very hard to find coloured cardstock that I can afford..

so I purchase office manilla folders and cut them down..

and the scuffed up really well to give you shabby edges..

I went with shabby chic vintage style, and as I cannot

see details like threading a needle especially on the sewing machine I went with stamping my stitches..

and added little tags from my stash that I made on  one 'tag  making day' 😉

this little hat came from the 123 shop and I bought a small packet of 4

 and they are so fun to add flowers and things on..

The sewing papers from my stash, probably Temu

more stitching stamping

and added a beautiful gold embossed stamped sentiment and glued that onto this pretty oval shaped doily..

So do pop over and join our challenge and check out what the girlfriends have made..

HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by, Ill see you Friday with more round stuff..

SHABBY CHIC PAPER CLIPS

 Hello everyone,

Back again with the other Shabby Chic project and this time I made hidden papers clips using up more papers of mannequins and all sorts of other bits..

these are my clips on white card stock scraps

and the first papers to glue over the top

Then the ripped or torn papers all pretty and pink

but before that, I clipped a tiny hole in the top of the first layer,

 so the clip peeked out the top..I can hang a charm on that..

then...die cutting, loads and loads of roses die cut and glued from Altenew

and they don't always match up very well but they are very forgiving..

They were then put in place..

and added lace 

Pearls

and butterflies and done..

just some chiffon ribbon it the tab top and they finished 

and ready for  a journal or front of a card..

So there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon.
