<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Happy Wednesday! I'm having a lovely half term break ... a Spa day, a workshop, shopping tomorrow, trip to the hairdressers on Friday with a good sprinkling of crafting in between!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Today, I'm sharing a beautiful 21 shaped card and matching dollar wallet. The recipient is going to New York to celebrate her 21st next month!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I designed and cut the 21 shaped card and layers on my Cameo, then coloured them with Pan Pastels and a Sheena swirl stamp.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I cut the flowers using Marianne dies and coloured them with Pans to match the card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I Googled the size of Dollar notes and designed a wallet using my Hougie board.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxDGUVKeLGDlXXjsi9-XGWSFq5OlRjLRFBZ1VF2Eb7Q060_inF2Vb2MbX0uzze5L9B3mpXOH7sD1Yp483y6xiUnTrJhrRaSwxFMleJXW-ZnA2BhfyExz8WQ341jrhOSzqg_ufV7M91kQ/s1600/Dollar_Wallet_inside.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxDGUVKeLGDlXXjsi9-XGWSFq5OlRjLRFBZ1VF2Eb7Q060_inF2Vb2MbX0uzze5L9B3mpXOH7sD1Yp483y6xiUnTrJhrRaSwxFMleJXW-ZnA2BhfyExz8WQ341jrhOSzqg_ufV7M91kQ/s1600/Dollar_Wallet_inside.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Then I decorated it with my Pans and attached a silhouette of New York. I added lights with my white gel pen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I was quite pleased with this matching set - even if I do say so myself!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Enjoy the rest of your week xx </span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Hello, just stopping by with a last-minute card I was asked to make today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I headed straight for my Clarity stash and Distress Inks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I couldn't wait to use my new Sunshine stencil and the Letterbox Sentiments. This is what I mad</span><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">e:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I scored two lines across an A6 piece of silk art card and masked off first the top then the bottom to ink the background and then stencil over the top.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Thinking about it now, I could have made it easier for myself. I could have just masked off the middle section and inked the top and bottom in one go!! Oh well, I'll do that next time!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">It's been lovely and sunny and quiet here today, such a nice change from the rain and wind. Hubby and I had a lovely walk along Cleveleys prom, along with half the population of the Fylde (it seemed)!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Hope you have a good crafty week and thank you for stopping by xx</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">February already ... how did that happen?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I took delivery of some gorgeous MDF hearts last week and couldn't wait to get cracking with them. I've painted and crackled four of them and finished decorating two. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;">I'm entering the first plaque into the </span><a href="http://visibleimage.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/love-visible-image-stamps.html"><span style="color: red;">Visible Image Challenge</span></a><span style="color: #660000;">. The theme is love. I certainly loved making it:</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">The second plaque is again using Visible Image stamps and I just love the butterflies, they look great with contrasting Distress Inks. Here it is:</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I decorated the back with another butterfly and coloured the seam binding with the same distress inks to coordinate with the plaque.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">For the last two cards, I used my beautiful new Chocolate Baroque Floral Bouquet stamps. They really are fabulous quality and stamp perfectly. I made the background using Adironacks on my Gelli plate. Such a fun technique.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Today, I'm sharing with you a cute little plaque I made for my friend. She recently had a beautiful new Aga fitted in her kitchen and I had just the stamp to make her a little gift:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I stamped the image with Adironack Espresso and coloured it with Promarkers and Distress Inks.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I have also completed my first commissioned card of the year. I finally had the chance to use my beautiful Anna Marie Blooming Figurine stamp, which I bought in Harrogate back in October. It was worth the wait though! I also used my new Heartfelt Creations Sunkissed Fleur stamps and die. Of course, it was a no-brainer to use my fabulous Clarity stamps to personalise the card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Here it is:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I used Worn Lipstick DI and London Fog Memento for the stamping and distressing and finished the card off by mounting it on dark silver paper and adding gems.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">It's back to work for me tomorrow, I cant believe that TWO weeks have gone already! I'm in the relaxation zone now and need another week :( Never mind, it'll soon be half term!</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Well, here goes! I cant believe my last blog post was 15th September ... I really don't know where the time has gone or why I didn't publish the three lovely comments that my faithful blog followers have left me... SORRY :(</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I've been back at work, which has been very busy and quite challenging at times. I've also been to GNPE Harrogate and Sincerely Yours Papercraft Show at Leigh. I met some of my crafty friends for a catch up and shopped till I dropped - literally!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Today, I had a successful meeting with a new shop that's opening nearby and they are taking some of my cards to sell. Yay!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Today, I went to a workshop hosted by the lovely Maria Simms. We managed to make three (yes, THREE!) cards at the workshop and prepared the fourth to complete at home.</span></div>
<div align="center">

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Well, we're nearing the end of the summer holidays and for us, that signifies Tom's birthday.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">He's always been one of the youngest in his class and I suppose that's always going to be the case till he leaves education and starts out in the world of work!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">But today, he's sweet sixteen!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I saw a fabulously apt image over at Mo's Digital Pencil, called Computer Guy. Tom loves his computer and computing and it's one of the A levels he's going to be studying.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">This is what I made him:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I painted the background with green, blue and soft gold acrylic paint. Then, I inked a SplodgeAway steampunk mask with Versamark, ran it through my Grand Calibur and heat set it with black sparkle embossing powder. I replaced the mask and highlighted certain areas with paint. I also painted lightly through sequin waste.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I coloured the digistamp with promarkers and darkened the edges with acrylic paints. To finish off, I stamped and embossed the '16' and 'today' using Clarity stamps.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Well, my summer holidays are nearly over (sob sob) and I'll soon be starting work again. I cant complain though, we have had FANTASTIC weather this year and it has been so nice to spend time outside in the warm sun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Just a quick post from me tonight.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I made another Best Friend card and this time I used shades of purple Pan Pastels to colour it:</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-HW0HvIGcHaooVsAMRt2cqgF-tyOrjGUC9v7huawaHVZA9uhCL9KViQPWDk44WbpxUTHJqEdyprdDkOCDVAGu1YA87v4_nLMkR6FZOQiDsz2O2XVRC9gi5ndr3ifnbMM8smMAlnefsg/s1600/79_Purple_Best_Friend_Sister.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-HW0HvIGcHaooVsAMRt2cqgF-tyOrjGUC9v7huawaHVZA9uhCL9KViQPWDk44WbpxUTHJqEdyprdDkOCDVAGu1YA87v4_nLMkR6FZOQiDsz2O2XVRC9gi5ndr3ifnbMM8smMAlnefsg/s320/79_Purple_Best_Friend_Sister.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">And then I used some of my lovely Spellbinders and a lovely Pink Petticoat sentiment to make this card.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdXY3E5JPFV-I9LgE4JB2nyx3bOJo4eowrq7dvFeEtmcrRkDarpdqjsA5I_fICS8YaI02ojBW3RlZgnVXdRYifFqKEwNg0UGqtqrfZ_1tK-LC8Y136yHjTz07gPnn2w__4kCV5uECedQ/s1600/80_Love_is_a_flower.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdXY3E5JPFV-I9LgE4JB2nyx3bOJo4eowrq7dvFeEtmcrRkDarpdqjsA5I_fICS8YaI02ojBW3RlZgnVXdRYifFqKEwNg0UGqtqrfZ_1tK-LC8Y136yHjTz07gPnn2w__4kCV5uECedQ/s320/80_Love_is_a_flower.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">The flower is by Stamps By Chloe and I embossed it with silver Wow embossing powder and layered it up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Hope you have a fab week xx</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Hello folks. I hope the weather hasn't been too bad where you are today. We've had torrential rain this afternoon, which has left our garden water logged again!! I have heard that there's going to be another mini heat wave soon, so we'll look at this as a blip!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Now on to a recent project. I decorated an MDF heart that I bought at the NEC last year. I don't know why it takes me so long to use my new stash! Is anyone else like this or is it just me?!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfyKHqRj4vqhfugU15r8c3fOGgwbPg2m1TCmgs0rDezW_wbcNpwJ8eaM9mwZQTNg8kZHDr2-7hdD3VDkd0E55sbXK0L4cW8asVK1UmxP1svEzMy-zEtlu309YomNR0sZpOuBUB-7S3lw/s1600/Heart_Plaque_Butterflies.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfyKHqRj4vqhfugU15r8c3fOGgwbPg2m1TCmgs0rDezW_wbcNpwJ8eaM9mwZQTNg8kZHDr2-7hdD3VDkd0E55sbXK0L4cW8asVK1UmxP1svEzMy-zEtlu309YomNR0sZpOuBUB-7S3lw/s320/Heart_Plaque_Butterflies.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I painted the heart with purple acrylic paint, then applied PVA glue and painted a layer of cream acrylic paint. Heating with my heat tool gave me a lovely crackled effect. I learnt this technique at a Sheena Douglass workshop and this is the first time I have got it right since!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Next, I stamped the Sheena Douglass swirls and butterflies with various Adirondack and Distress inks. The final layer of stamping, including the sentiment, was with Brilliance pigment inks which I then embossed with clear powder.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I covered the back of the heart with a pretty mini daisy print paper and used the off-cuts to make roses and cut swirls with a Marianne die. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">For the finishing touches, I sprayed the plaque with a protective layer of gold Spray & Sparkle, then I coloured cream seam binding tape with Distress ink and attached it to the top of the heart.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">This was a present for an incredibly brave family, for whom butterflies hold a special meaning.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed making this plaque and am looking forward to doing another one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Hope you're all having a lovely, crafty weekend xx </span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Oh dear, I've turned into such a terrible blogger! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">In fact, I even wondered if I should carry on blogging. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">After a lot of thought, I decided to go with the flow ... blog when I have time and not feel guilty when I let things slip. After all, it's just for fun :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I can assure you that, even though I've been a lazy blogger, I certainly haven't been a lazy crafter!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I have been really busy with commissions lately, so all is good.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Here are a few makes that I've made over the last *cough* month:</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Did I mention that I love this stamp from </span><a href="http://designsbyryn.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Ryn</span></a><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">? !!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">It is so effective and the raindrops really do look 3D:</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I used Glossy Accents on some of the raindrops on the flower and added some glitter to the flower centre.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">The sentiment is from </span><a href="http://pinkpetticoat.co.uk/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Pink Petticoat</span></a><span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"> and looks stunning in a fancy frame.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Just popping by to share some cards I made last week.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">The first uses a Creative Expressions stamp set that I got at a work shop over a year ago and it's had its first outing! And just to be different I decided that just because it features a ship, it doesn't have to be just for men!</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I used a soft colour palette to make this a feminine card and I think it works. What do you think?</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
