Sweet Sixteen

I have finally done something crafty, sorry I haven't updated for ages but there has been a craft drought in my home. But Jo's daughter turns 16 tomorrow and it finally made me go into my craft room, tidy up a bit so I could get near my desk and actually do something. I will try to update a bit more regularly in the future. Anyway that's it for now.

Michelle's Card

This is the card I was talking about in the previous post, I have just been too lazy to upload it, but as I sit here and type this, the person whom I gave this card is struggling in hospital as a result of her battle with cancer and all the problems that are attached to that despicable disease.

All my love and best wishes are with her today and always. God Bless you Michelle.

Male Cards

I have been busy over the last few weeks making cards, first there was mothers day which I didn't get any photo's of and then my husbands 55Th Birthday and then our 26Th Wedding Anniversary. I have also made another card for a friend but I'm not going to put on the blog until after tomorrow when I will give it to her as I know she reads my blog.

Blog Candy Giveaway

I found the most amazing giveaway today at http://passionforcrafts.blogspot.com/ check it out, there are some great things on offer.

Anzac Weekend with JVo's Classes

As you can see Jo and I and many other Ladies had a wonderful weekend filled with Julie's classes at Scraptacular in Mentone, what a talented lady she is, Jo and I attended 3 of the 5 classes held over the weekend which started Friday afternoon and went through until Saturday night.

They were fullon classes that kept you working the whole time trying to complete your project, the only 1 I did not complete until this afternoon, was the art boxes as we were on a much smaller time frame, because of classes to follow on. All of Julie's new products are wonderful and they are so easy to use.

In Memory of Dad

Today my Dad would have turned 83, these pictures are from some wonderful times, at the top him on Holidays, then Mum and Dad at a Wedding and the last one is of me and him on the 14th May 1983, my goodness how time flies, he passed away on the 6th of September, 2000 and I still miss him terribly.

Aubergine Houses

I have completed 2 Houses, as I wasn't happy with the first one,the small one, I was using Collection houses, however I decorated the card and then realised you are supposed to put them together with decorative paper, so I had to do it inside out, which means all the seams are vi sable. The second one I painted and decorated the paper and then made a house as I didn't have any big ones left from the set and I am much happier with that one.

Play Day at Greta's

Today Greta and I had a crafty day at her place, we created 2 tiles each, mine are the 2 on the left of the screen. We also attempted to make some 3D houses, which I can only say are a work in progress, started but definitely not finished. I will post that when finally finished. But it was a wonderful day, with sunshine coming in the big open door and lots of chatter and laughing.

Fairy Card

A friend from work asked me to make a birthday card for her soon to be 6 year old granddaughter, her only requests were that I put her name on the card and the year and that Ebony loves Fairies. I have used Kaiser Kraft new paper as the background and also cut out a fairy from a matching paper.

Last of the House Pages

These are the final pages for the house swap from Arty-Oz, they are the Dragons Den, Bird House, Music House and My Mothers House, I hope all the ladies will be pleased with my efforts, they certainly made me think in different directions with all the varying themes.

This is the 2nd row to the jigsaw swap, G for Gentleman, H for Hat, I for Infants, J for Jumping with Joy, K for kids, L for Lovely Lady.

JigSaw Swap

I am in the Crafty Mums group and we are currently running a jigsaw swap and these are my first pieces complete, they are A for Angelic Angels, B for Beautiful Bird, C for Classy Children,D for Daring Dorothy, E for Elegant Eileen and F for Funny Fellows, I had a great deal of fun with these and can't wait for the next set of pieces.
