TIME FOR A WEDDING..

 Hello everyone,

Brrrr, tis chilly now, I love it ,but not being too cold, of course the sun will come out later and fill my craftroom with full on glowing heat then I'll get all hot and stuff and close my curtains..

Never mind the weather, I'm sharing a card I made to use up ( finally ) this ephemera I made with the brides stickers and book pages...remember ?

So, I sorted these out and picked the one I wanted then found these adorable little hats that I have had forever and decide it was time..

They came without the flowers, I just added them to make the hat pretty band to poke inside some flowers..

see the tiny flowers..

Then out came my wedding box of flowers..( I have a few..lol..)

Gathered my bits and then built a wedding card..

And it all came together nicely..

My wooden stamp collection box one, of sentiments

and got out my favourite for weddings for inside the card..

A simple white die cut up the top and done..

So there you go, getting there using up my ephemeras I made.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY..

 Hello everyone,

My son had a birthday on the 29th May and I made a card for everyone to sign to go along with his gift..plus I cooked a full on roast beef dinner with Yorkshires and all the trimmings, such a great night.

I bought these paper pads a very lone time ago and only used four pages from them and they became my center point for this card, the height and width were perfect and love the galaxy scenes.

I made three panel in black and folded the edge in by one inch

then added the papers and printed and fussy cut Mandalorian.

My son is a big fan of Star Wars, his house is Star Wars..

R2-D2 and cp30 Darth Vader and Yoda

Thank goodness I over bought star dies so cutting was quick..

definitely over bought..

inked them up for depth..

and started adding them to pages..

The front cover with the death Star..

The Death Star was the empires ultimate weapon:

 a moon sized space station with the ability to destroy an entire planet..

The papers were spot on for this card which is 12 inches tall

and 6 inches wide.

added more characters inside the largest star - Storm Trooper

and on the left my favourite little Ewok called Wicket..

He will appear again shortly

A place to write and more stars..

The back cover

close ups..

And finally the gift we all chipped in for, the gorgeous 

Ewok - Wicket in Swarovski crystal..

and so much better than underpants and socks..

So there we go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you soon..

FLIP FLOP AND BLACK LACE..

 Hello everyone,

I had a little play the other day, not knowing where I was going or why, just played and ended with a double sided flip flop ( concertina ) booklet thing, and used up quite a bit of paper that was calling to me to use up, and some new black lace..

This is what I started with in white with brown panels..

These are the papers no brand just papers

This is my new black lace, I used the one on the reel..

paper frames that started white and got the grunge treatment.

these are very light paper floral corners..

and went on nearly every other corner

one up top, one down bottom..

Then came the lace..

then I just kept going adding paper dolls and

bits and pieces..

the front, and the pretty big soft rose tied with black ribbon..

one side..

other side ( back side )

and fold like this..flip flop.

all the way to closed..

and there you go..

That gave me a few hours of play time in my room when there is nothing to do

 and some thing to go on my shelf..

Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll see you soon..

UPTOWN GIRL...DT

 Hello everyone,

Well, talk about confusing..I forgot to let you know I was going away for three days on Kings birthday weekend and a post would go up that I wouldn't be commenting on until I got home, so thank you to some for two comments, I felt so special...BUT, not only that, I forgot to tell Ross, my backdoor neighbor, so on Saturday night he was lurking around my property as he noticed my backdoor open a bit and no lights on so came to check, getting no response, he rings the police, meanwhile other side of the drive by my front door,  Betty saw a lurking stranger with a dark hoodie prowling around so she called the cops on him..eventually they all met out the front at the same time and things were sorted, Betty told them I was away and the door was open for the cat feeding grandson and Ross was a good bloke and I was watching all this through my camera linked to my home and could do nothing about three hours away..lol..what a relaxing weekend ,

Happy Birthday to the King..

But now, the real reason we are all here  is it is LITTLE RED WAGON  time and this week our lovely Kate is hostess and with her theme  " UPTOWN GIRL " Feminine, Glam, fashion, ( fancy trims with sparkle etc)

My first stop was my lace and fancy pearls and trims box.

a brown paper shopping bag..

Then covered it with pretty feminine papers..

out with my trims, flower ribbon lace and cream ,very wide and

thick heavy lace.

some brads to hold the bottom flap together which formed a pocket..

die cut big tags which holds little tags..lots of them.

There she is all pretty and waiting for her ribbon..

and I used wire edge ribbon so it keeps it shapes really well and

 added BIG pearls on the ends..

It is not the full size depth as the brads hold it close but you can get a card in there and box of chocs..or pantyhose!!!

so come on over and check us out HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you again soon..
