Unicorn Challenge #28 - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How are you? My husband goes back to work today. It has been a lovely Christmas break. Now it is all back to normal.

The start of the month is always busy in blogland and the start of a new year is no different. Being the first Tuesday of January the new challenge starts on the Unicorn Challenge Blog. The theme for this challenge is the ever popular Anything Goes.

I was asked by a friend of mine to make a card for a friend of their's who they met at dancing. She is 90 and she still goes dancing at least once a week if not more often. The card had to have a dancing theme.

I had just bought some non-shed glitter card from a Craft Show and I had been shown that the silver card could be effectively coloured with alcohol pens. That is what I did, all the glitter card was coloured Promarkers.  

This is a Signature die and it is called First Dance. So it would look good on a wedding card. By using more of them in coloured skirts it looks more like ball room dancing 

The Perspective Happy Birthday Circle die I thought done in glitter looked a bit like a glitter ball. 

The numbers and letters were cut with my Crafter's Companion alphabet and number dies. 

I was told that Dottie was thrilled with this card and it has even been put into a frame.  I am very pleased that she like it. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) - Add a Number

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

Good morning. I hope you are well and that the weather is being kind, We are having a short break in London so this the first of some scheduled posts from me. I will catch up with everyone when we get back. If all has gone well we should have been to a performance of Much Ado About Nothing at the Globe theatre and today we are booked to see the Pink Floyd exhibition at the V&A museum.

Today also sees the start of a new challenge on the Moving Along with the Times Challenge blog (MAWTT) the theme is Add a Number. This is the card I made for my mother-in-law's 90th birthday she adores poppies.

The background paper was in my stash. All the mats and layers were cut with the Double Pierced Squares from Creative Expressions. 

This is another Creative Expressions die. 

This poppy stamp is by Woodware. I masked off the front poppies so I could stamp the poppy behind. They were coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. 

I have had these number dies for a while. Not long after I got them I lost the "th" die so I cut "with" now and cut it down. 

My mother-in-law did love this card she had it back in June for her actual birthday.

I would like to enter challenge 102 at Aloha Friday Challenges.

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Take care.

Happy 90th Birthday Grandad

Hi Bloggers

The day finally arrived and Grandad became 90 this weekend.



Here he is with his cake made by one of his Granddaughters (he has 5)  he is with his Nannie.

 

Here he is enjoying his meal surrounded by his family and friends.



This is his present organised by one of his Grandsons (he has 2). You should have seen his old one.



Just a quick reminder of the card I made he did like it especially as it opened up from flat. He had so many cards as there was a party arranged by friends yesterday.

Have a great week. I'll be back with more cards. I am still borrowing a laptop the desktop is beyond repair so we need to replace it.

Happy crafting.

Hugs Jackie
