FRIEND OF MINE..DT

 Hello everyone,

It is LITTLE RED WAGON  time and our lovely JanR is hostess with rthe theme.." Friend of mine " - to a friend or friendship..

For make this week I went with a shaker and averry bold pouch for my shaker bits..it was a foam tape holder..

Here's the  pouch and in the background I was sorting out frames I had made to fit over

and had quite afew to choose from, but it had to a perfect fit..

Presto, found one...and after I covered the pouch which, 

by the way, is really deep

I added the frame..

This is how deep it is...

So glued in place after adding a nautical picture for the background

and filled with sea or ocean coloured sequins, lots of blues and greens

and some of those moisture beads you get to soak up moisture in handbags etc..I collect them and have

jars full of them, all colours..they are safe, just don't eat them..

then a navy and cream pom pom trim ribbon..

A chipboard welcome aboard sign and a starfish..

along with a TH friend die cut.

There she is all shook up and glued onto a card base..

Inside is this beautiful Kaiser craft stamp..

" A friend is the nicest thing you can have

and one of the best things you can be "

all the sequins have settled down and the card was done..

So do come and join in with us HERE

thank you so much for stopping by

I'll see you again real soon..

BABY BOY NUMBER ONE..

 Hello everyone,

Sharing today a baby boy card..these days the cute pink and blue are sometimes welcome and appreciated, but sometimes these funny girls like " Brown " cards..natural neutral whatever !guess I'm just old fashioned, but I do what I'm asked and enjoyed it and made 2...show the other one soon..

These are the paper I had acquired ( Temu )

and I love them and they are cute with built in Teddy bear pictures,

 so can't go wrong really.

made the bases, cut the panels in cardstock and papers,

 then die cuts and must admit I loved the balloon..

The sentiments were done on PC and printed out,

 then popped them on the layers of label die cuts..

This precious little guy came pre printed on my papers, 

so had to be the leader..

this a three layer page card looking from one side

and looking from  the other..

Card front..

Teddy die cut and coloured

pretty balloon..

a place to write..

and a little airplane  flying through the clouds with a strategic 

placement of the plane so it looks like the bear in the papers is flying it.

So there you go..and it was loved, so always a bonus.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

I'll see you soon..

BABY GIRL..

 Hello everyone,

I'm off out for lunch on this dreary Sunday so that should be nice, then I'll get dropped at my daughters and help her with her knitting, it is such a painful process watching hold her needles like they have a disease with her elbows poking out in a funny direction, she has never knitted before and so funny to watch..She dropped a stich and messaged me in panic of what to do..she had no interest in anything like craft or sewing and knitting while growing up, now middle aged, and here we go!!

After the baby boy card and such lovely comments here and on Facebook, I had the need to make a baby girl card to sort of match...

This little Teddy die comes like this and you

add clothing like a cut out doll but I forgot to the photos

as I went as the phone was on charge in the other room..

but you will see her dressed in a minute..

Lovely sweet image which I've had waiting for a very long time.

and a pink gingham frill this time..

The card opens as a tri fold and the papers were patched 

as they were only 6x6 and my cards are 8" high..

My Couture Creations pram cut a few times and pieced 

back together into colour.

I then added onto the front those cute little ribbon 

flowers that come in a long strand and I just

snip off a few and used as decoration..

Here's the teddy in her dress with her arms and legs added, 

so much fun to cut and put together..

The sentiment is from Stamping Up, it says..

" One Little Baby

many happy hearts"

The baby Shoes, die cut in white then pink..

the pink went back in the holes..

the pram all finished with tiny resin flowers on the wheels

 and sitting under a tree for shade..die cut and sponged with Altenew inks..

And the opened card...

and close again..

So there you go, a baby girl card to match with the baby boy card..

I had such a lovely time I went and made two more boy cards and a birthday one too, so will share those soon..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

See you soon..

MAY FLOWERS..DT

 Hello everyone,

It's LITTLE RED WAGON  time and I'm hostess this week and my theme is " MAY FLOWERS" and my make this time is so different for me, not a lot of effort but quite effective I think,.but the first came out the best then I tried to copy, not the brightest move but they sort of worked..

These are the originals..

I had these brown tags that I made on tag making day in my stash for such a long time, I've used loads of them but still had some laying around and one day I must have sprayed them with inks etc. and then put them aside..

Then the stickers turned up, and they are BIG and I popped one on just to see as their colours were a bit different, dark navy and lighter blue and creamy colour..

I just reallyl iked them and thought " Oh, I could make more " mmmm....

So I set to, and it was to say the least difficult.

the tag paper wasa different and I forgot what inks i used and just sprayed and played

splattered and did some crazy stuff..

then they curled..

but eventually, I ended up with these.

added the leftover stickers I had..

3 + 4 = a little disappointment..keep going, don't give up.

But I don't give up too easy

and found some chiffon ribbon in blue so added that through the tops..

Then lastly some beautiful golden yellow butterflies stickers

and sold them as bookmarks..boom!!

Come on over and join us HERE

So there you go, new motto, never give up..

just keep adding stuff, layers of colour and stickers and you never know, you could end up with a masterpiece.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx
