Hero Arts Lady!

Good morning everyone!
What a miserable start to the day, rain!
It has stopped now but rained non stop since last night.

Hope you like the card, I made one larger than this a while ago (A5).
So I thought I would try a smaller card (A6)
and I am happy how it turned out.

Adele & Jake have gone to the pictures today, so I have the house to myself!!

Happy crafting

Another Pergamango Card!

Oh I am getting to be a bad blogger these days!
There is just not enough hours in the day to get everything done
that I need to do.
I have spent the last couple of days preparing everything for my kits for
Saturdays workshop.
We are making a scrapbook in a tin, a round tin.

Last night we had to go and pick Kitty's ashes up and I felt a bit emotional
caring the little box. Her ashes came in a lovely little pot with a very sweet sympathy card.

Tonight we had to take Tabby to the vets as he has a few sores and lumps on his body.
So he had to have an injection and he was very good but he had wee and was soaked.
We tried to bath him we we got home, oh my word he is a strong puss, you should see the state
of my bathroom!
Once he had settled down he had a bowl of chicken and is now fast a sleep!
Ok for some hee hee.

Right now back to my card, I hope you like this one as I had great fun in creating it!
This is my second Pergamano card I have never done anything like this before.
We have a lovely lady called Doreen who shows how to do the Pergamano techniques
on a Monday and I really look forward to Mondays.

Right I am now off to do some shopping at Tesco's,
see you soon.

My First Saturday Workshop!

Hello everyone!
I thought I would share with you my first
Saturday Workshop,
Box-in-a-bag.


We had a fun 2 hour session yesterday
and everyone went away very happy
and looking forward to next weeks
workshop.

I forgot to get my camera out and
some of the ladies had gone home.
I shall have to do better next week.

So here we are;
Christine, me, Margaret & Maureen.



Happy Crafting everyone
hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

Julie

Thank You!

I just want to say a very big thank you to everyone who has left me a message after we lost Kitty last week.
I have to say I was very touched!





I would just like to share two pictures of my baby, Tabby
our other stray. He is about 16 months old and since Kitty has died he has taken to sleeping in the house at night and using the litter tray, to our surprise.
He has even taken over her new bed!

We are so glad we have him as the house would be so empty.
He loves to play and have lots of cuddles,
he is just like a baby.
He follows me everywhere, just like a dog!


I will be back soon with some crafting posts.

Sad News

Sadly Kitty passed away at the vets just a short while ago.
This photo was taken last weekend of her sat in a cardboard box.
Needles to say we are all so upset by this.
It seems she was quite poorly but they did there best for her.
I am just sorry we could not have been with her at the end.

bye for now

First Go At Pergamano!

Hello everyone!
I thought I would share with you all today my very first attempt at pergamano.
It's not brilliant but I am sure I will get better with practice.
I only started learning a few weeks ago and I am just finishing my third card.
So I will share them soon.

We have to go to the vets tomorrow with Kitty as she is not well again.
She is not eating and is in some discomfort when we pick her up.
She is a poorly puss anyway as her heart rate is that fast the vet cannot count
the beats and is on medication and monthly blood tests.
I shall keep you posted.

Clare's Birthday Card + Link To New Class List!

I made this card for my good friend Clare for her birthday the other week!
Papers are from Magenta and the stamp is Penny Black.

Sorry I have not been round much lately I have just been very busy uploading items
in my shop, preparing for my classes, school fair and family.
I have just finished working on a new set of classes to be held on a Saturday morning
at Montgomer Hall in Wath.

Please click here to see new class list!

Have a great day everyone!

Boot Card!

Another class card where we used Wendy Stenton's boot template.
Supplies we used are show above.
I find for me that these templates are to small, so I scale them up
to fit an A5 card (A4 folded in half).
We also used shrink plastic for the dragonflies.

I then designed a box suitable for the boot card with enough depth
so the shrink plastic dragonflies would not get damaged.

I used ivory mulberry paper inside the box as a wrap for my card.

I watercoloured the flowers & leaves.
Then added some glitter glue to finish off!

Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone!
Sorry I have not been around for a while but I have been very busy with one thing and another.
I can't believe it has been two weeks since I last blogged!
I have been quite busy in the garden.
I have had a few card orders
I have been sorting out things for my online shop so I hope that will go live Sunday 21st June.

On a sadder note I might not be around tomorrow as I am going to a funeral.
My neighbour Ann died last weekend suddenly of a heart attack.
I came as a great shock to us all and we will miss her.
We had know Ann and her family for over 25 years.
So it will be a sad day tomorrow.

I have some more great project to share with you soon!

We have just had the most horrible thunder storm.
It has rained heavily non stop for the last two & a half hours.
We have even had fork lightening!
It has stopped now but it is still very dark out there.

Hi everyone!
It's been another lovely day here in South Yorkshire, I hope you are

Pergamano, which made a lovely change for me and I really enjoyed it.
Then this afternoon I had my card making class, I will show you the card later on in the week.

I made this card for Carl's birthday using the WII boy download that I used for Jake's card.
I then downloaded some pictures of the internet to complete the card.

See you all soon.
