Roaring 20's Birthday Card for a Dear Friend

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Well I can't really believe that this is the last day of September. The Summer is over and Autumn is in full swing. What a strange year we are having. 

Here is the birthday card I made for my dear friend. Her birthday was at the weekend. We met at work and we have stayed friends ever since. We have been meeting up regularly for walks and a natter. She loves anything Art Deco so I save any images like that for her. 

The patterned papers were in my stash. The feathers were made with a die from Crafter's Companion. 

This image came from an old card. I knew she would like it. 

Some times inside on the back of the card there is an additional images. I chose to make this one into a bookmark to go with the card. 

I know she liked this card and that she had a lovely birthday. We are meeting up for a walk next week. 

Happy Crafting

Emerald City Crafts Challenge Blog - Challenge 3 always Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

I am back this time for the third challenge on the Emerald City Crafts Challenge blog as always the theme is Anything Goes and we really mean that.

This month I decided to decorate a tag. I used some lace from my stash and I added die cut feathers and butterflies. 

The bird image comes from the Les Beaux Oiseaux Designer Ephemera available from Linda Simpson Designs. The images come in two different sizes. 

Linda Simpson has a new website where you can purchase digital downloads of the ephemera and papers. If you click on the image you should be taken to the store. 

This shows some of the detail of the Delicate Feather Tattered Lace die that I used. 

I do enjoy decorating tags the images and papers make is easy and they are a good way to use up small bits and pieces from your stash. 

Enjoy the rest of the day.

Happy Crafting.

Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog - Birds and Feathers

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are having a good week. We still have a few days left to wait until Easter. I wonder what you have planned? We are seeing our daughter and her fiance on Monday and the table plan beckons that is going to be difficult.

This is my first time hosting  a challenge for the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) challenge blog my theme is Birds and Feathers. I hope this gives people lots of scope. I chose the theme and then I bought the February issue of Making Cards Magazine.

The papers and the image came from the magazine. 

Isn't the owl cute. 

This is my favourite Happy Birthday die at the moment it is from Crafter's Companion. 

I think this would make a wonderful card for a man. 

I hope you join in with the challenge it lasts for two weeks. 

Happy Crafting

Alphabet Challenge - Letter A - Anything with Wings

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Friday. The weekend is here. I wonder what you have planned. We are hoping to visit our parents on Saturday and on Sunday we will be doing more jobs for the wedding.

The new challenge starts today on the Alphabet Challenge blog we are right back at the start with letter A and the theme is Anything with Wings.

I am sharing the Father's Day card I made for my husband.

I used another of the images from my pack of Pollyanna Pickering images. I am enjoying using these. I did trim the image to make it in to a square. 

I used my Father's Day Signature die again this time I trimmed it so it fitted with the design. 

This owl is so cute. The pad has five of each type on image so you might be seeing him again. 

Have a great weekend. 

I would like to enter challenge 126 at the Creative Fingers Challenge Blog , challenge 39 at the Crafting With Friends Challenge Blog , challenge 242 at the Brown Sugar Challenge Blog and challenge 90 at the Kitty Bees Designs.

Thinking of You

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you had a good weekend and are ready for the week ahead. We popped over to the New Forest  to drop off the dress I had bought for the wedding as it needed a small repair. Being earlier than we expected we just had a coffee in a rather nice pub. After that we headed into Southampton for a rather successful shopping trip followed by lunch. It was a very productive day. On Sunday I spent some time making more flowers for the wedding of course.

I was asked to make a card for a man that had a nasty road accident. The person who asked me to make the card had stayed with him until the ambulance came. I decided to use one of the owl images and papers that came with Making Cards Magazine last month.

I have made a card with this set of papers and images before and it has proved rather popular as it has been sat on my shelf especially with the person who asked me to make the card. 

The owl is lovely and just a bit quirky. 

I used dies I had won in a competition for the sentiment. 

I have enjoyed using these images and papers from Making Cards Magazine. 

Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting
