Jake's Birthday Layout

I made this layout of Jake's birthday using mesh from Magenta, blue Bazzill card, large white brads, patterned paper and acrylic paints.
I wanted to get as many photos as I could on this layout so there are no embellishments a part from the white brads.

If you click on the picture you can enlarge it a bit!

Thank you for looking!

My Card for the Magnolia Challenge!

This is my first time to create a card for the Magnolia challenge found here
I had great fun creating this card, as I love black & white but don't use it very often!

*Challenge 19*

It's time for a bit of black and white theme, ideally no other colours to be used on you work.

(but if you are struggling with this then your magnolia image ( or 1 of if using more than 1 )
may have 1 more colour of your choice.


Once again work must include a magnolia stamp, and could be anything aslong as it is arty crafts.


If you click on my card you will see the detail better. I have added glitter to the petticoat and diamond glaze to the jacket and boots.
Have a great day everyone!

Our Visiter!

This cat has been a visiter to our house for the past few days and it was all skin and bones.So Adele fed it and now it keeps coming back. It's been here all day today and I am a big softy and fed it. It seems to have settled down here and fallen a sleep in the conservatory. Adele wants to keep it and I say No! we don't know the first thing about cats!





It's a lovely warm day here and I have been out in the front garden trying to tidy it up a bit!

Wedding Gift & Card

Today's post is to show you a card (which is already on my blog) and a gift for my son's best friend who got married yesterday! There is a bottle of champagne and some champagne flute glasses. Carl did not have a box for the glasses, so I had to make one for them, easy I thought but then I did not have any card bigger than 12 x 12. Oh no I thought what am I going to do! Then I remembered when I was blog hopping I found a tutorial for a box, just the bottom ( sorry I can't remember who's blog it was but I will try and find out so I can post a link here), so I set to work scaling down the pattern and when I was happy I made two boxes and stuck them together. Popped a glass in each box and used gold tissue paper around them, then I glass them up and finished the gift of with some cream and burgundy organza ribbon. If you click on the photo it will enlarge for you.


Enjoy!
Have a great Saturday!
