BIRTHDAY CARD..

 Hello everyone,

It is a beautiful Saturday morning while writing this post, in fact I'm getting a bit warm in my craftroom, I get a lot of sun in here, and even in the middle of Winter I get hot..can't complain..

I have a birthday card to share today..for a lady who loves flowers, birds and just bought a new bird bath....so....

I felt a birdbath and tulips, yellow ones, her favourite, were called for..

Birdbath die all put together with minimal language.

( some of these dies are so small and difficult to put together )

patterned papers Mintay paper pad from my stash, 

layered up with yellow background card stock...

My shadow peeking in..each panel layer with foam tape.

Tulips and grass in place..

a gold die cut Happy Birthday, so soft and lovely.

Birdie in place..

and you cannot see, but there is glossy accents in the bath..

and these she is, all done and ready to..no gone.

Thank you so much for stopping by

I'll catch up again soon..

BOOKPAGE EPHEMERA..

 Hello everyone,

I have some fun ephemera to share from Natasha at Treasure Books, she made them and I fell in love and made a bunch of them..

These were my mess ups, but kept them in my scraps box.

two book pages ripped in the centers, then inked.

pretty flower sticker and packing acetate.

put that between the two book pages..and!

Fabulous..

So I made purple flowers ones..

Then orange ones..

then neutral ones..

until I had a whole bunch of them, 

using up pages and stickers which is a good thing..

I have added these, or some of these to projects, just cannot share yet

and some top picks..

and...

and..

So happy...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY..

 Hello everyone,

Once upon a time there were three little girls who all went to the police academy, and they were each assigned very hazardous duties...................oh wait, that was from Charlies Angels, we never went to a police academy......but we were the very best friends, the three musketeers maybe and to this day still are..and we all turned 70 in the same year, me first and so on ...

This is the card I made for the first friend for 1st July...and Holly helped in her way.

using up music sheets, all trimmed to size and inked..

Her colour is purple and these A5 papers arrived from Temu

 and were just saying her name..

they were matted and tagged and layered..

pockets for tags in place..

theses tags looked small...but..

I also attached a bookmark as the front panel is a pocket too..

this little pocket has a picture on it...not her.

little snippets of lace popped in the layers..

and a little gold bee

and a gold die cut 70th...done.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
