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..

DAISY FOLDER CARD

 Hello everyone,

I know, I'm back again, gosh I've been busy and have quite a bit to show you, but first, my card I made for fun and using gorgeous dies to go along with new papers..

These gorgeous new papers I received for my birthday..

I know, I heard the sharp intake of breath..

I'll wait until we are all composed..

This sweet little die has so many bits to it to make one, but worth it..

From, Honey Bee Stamps - " Lovely layers Peonies "

so cut a few of them and ready to build my buds..

and these papers are the reason, see the buds in the background..

They match..

So I even went a bit further and made a mummy flower to go with the baby buds.

Along with leaves there are going on the tag..

Maybe I should have die cut a few more Peonies for the cover, 

but went with a daisy die cut..mmm..

The front..

Inside..

opening the folded flap..

and inside a gorgeous retro lady..

Tag out...

another tag on the right with the daisy..

and side pocket on left.

Back to the front..

So there you go..

What a fun day...thank you so much for stopping by.

I'll see you again soon..

CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND..DT

 Hello everyone,

I'm back and it is Wednesday and time for a new challenge over at Little Red Wagon and our lovely Brenda is our hostess this week and her theme is " Create you own background " one of many things that is a favourite of mine..

So, I made some big tags..

and these are the final few tags in my stash that I made so long ago..

See, pretty big..

and I plunged right into my sticker stash of flowers..

Gosh, I love these stickers, they are so pretty..

So made heaps..

Then the modelling paste came out..

and used a stencil to smooth the paste onto the tag..

They dried beautifully, time for stamping..

You may have to squint a bit but there is a lot of stamping..

numbers and text..

Then I spattered them with white paint..

of course the butterflies had to come out to play..

and they are beautiful too..

By now there was a lot going on and they were finished..

I love them..

so do come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you soon..

BABY BOY #3

 Hello everyone,

This is my last card using neutral papers..I must to admit I've enjoyed myself..

Again, these new papers are adorable....and neutral in colour.

This is the front..

a pocket inside with a tag and some charms..

The back side of the tag and a place to write..

and the pretty papers side..

Then the Marianne Creatables rocking horse die and

a tiny picture frame...

and inside the frame is a teddy bear pilot ( from the last set of papers )

Then these papers were too pretty to cover so turned the 

writing oval on it's side..

In this oval I put a die cut boat, with waves made from inky papers I made ages ago, 

and some clouds..

This is card all opened up..well, nearly all..

So there we go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you soon..
