ATC's WITH ANIMALS..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's Little Red Wagon time and I'm hostess this week with a fun and easy theme..

" INCLUDE AN ANIMAL "

another ATC day..old playing cards covered with leafy tissue paper.

adding PET stickers of Beard, red pandas and racoons.

The Bears were my absolute favourite as they fitted scene best..

He was sized for the trees from Gina K

and I made him, well, all of them, 

coming from behind the trees.

There's my three bears..

but of course I had to have six,

 so the other animals came out to play..

I like them and had fun with them but the bears won this time..

then there were six..

Do come and join us HERE

so there you go..

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

LEFTOVERS..DT

 Hello everyone,

LEFTOVERS. one of my most  favourite words in the craft room and fridge and also the theme for our new challenge over at Little Red Wagon that is the theme our fabulous hostess Imke has chosen for us.

A great theme and fabulous way to use up your stuff, those little bits of goodness that you pop into a box and say  I will use that one day, well today is the day..no matter how tiny your leftover is, we can always use it..AND..I followed a sketch I found.

first three photos are my base..

Kraft matts

and, leftovers

packaging..

scrap papers ( leftovers )

covering the packaging..

time to glue it all together..

one going one way..

one going the other way../

onto the base...three layers

little tiny tags from my stash of ephemeras

postage stamps ( TH )

and ended up with a thick and bulky and fun book card with layers and pockets and all that good stuff without cutting into large sheets, all with leftover bits..

packing turned into a front cover pocket holding tiny tag..

if any papers were a bit small they got split

re joined and covered by numbers of tag..

rustic and flowers go well together..

thick..

but still goes in envelope, just another dollar.

Stands up and no wind is going to blow this baby down..

and there she is..

I may have to keep this one as I really like it..

So do come and join us HERE

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

JUST A QUICKIE

 Hello everyone,

Hope you all had a good weekend..mine was super happy..

My grandson proposed in the middle of a photo shoot that my daughter was doing for him and his gorgeous girlfriend, neither girls had any idea so a very emotional time.

they are such lovely caring kids and I wish them all the happiness in the world..

So, moving on and drying my eyes again..

A request to make a load of " Thanks " sentiments

for cards at my sons shop as sometimes they don't want birthday but love a card..

DONE!

then of course I made cards..lol..

card one..

Die cut a heap of daisies ( Honey Bee Stamps )

leaves and centers..

until I had a tray of them..

Card two..

card three..

card four..

The white butterflies is a die. plain, nothing on it, just plain white card stock, I made the dots on the wings using tiny little black gems, the ones I use for most seagulls eyes and gave them a black body..perfect.

So there you go..

short and sweet and I'll be back tomorrow with a DT project

so I'll see you then..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

ANOTHER HIDDEN TAG..

 Hello everyone,

I'm back with the other tag inside a tag but this one is bigger..

I don't often use blue mainly because I've never found any

 I really like, but these are delicious, sort of vintage blue.

but only 6x6 so..

I had to join them up pattern with pattern,

one of my favourite things to do.

added a Tim Holtz paper doll and gave her some

butterfly wings

The tag that slides inside had half a butterfly

and a big number...BUT

it was too small and dissappeared inside the big tag,

so I had to alter..

I just added a piece of card stock and used up scraps of paper

to cover it then a big number.

okay, the butterfly does not line up as well as my eyesight is rubbish 

and I cannot line up most of anything..

but the hole reinforcing circles  and black scrap of card stock hide the join pretty good.

and now it snuggles up really nice inside without vanishing inside.

added a ribbon tab top and done..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
