Paper Nation Card

Hubby asked me at the weekend to
make a card for someone at work.
It took me a while to find what he wanted
on the card but once we had decided on it,
I found it very easy to put together.
Here is the box I decided to use matching paper
to tie it into the card.
Here is the finished design.
Hubby was very pleased with it.
I would love to know what you all think?!

Tilda & Co Challenge # 20

Tilda & co Challenge #20
Is to Include beads on your project.
My project is a completed bookmark,
with ribbon and bead tassle.
I made a card for it to be given,
to make a complete gift and card.
I did some free hand doodles on the green
card where the bookmark sits.
Each time I took a picture though I got flash back
as the bookmark is laminated.

Here is the complete bookmark.


and again with the card behind.
The theme colours are mint green and pink.
A pretty combination.






Some more of my crafting

These cards are very simple.
I really enjoyed playing with some items
I had forgotten about!
This pink card was really quick to
put together.
The image was given to me by a forum friend
The final one in this batch is
using a free image from a web site.
I thought it would be ideal
for a young persons birthday.

Finally made some cards

These are not like my usual cards,
as I have not made cards for a very long time.
I wanted to start simple and then expand from there.
I also wanted to use some images
I have had for a long time.
The Teddy below was heat embossed
quite a while ago, I just got around to using it.

A simple butterfly card.My Great Nephew was one in the 14th of May.My Great niece will be 3 in August.As I haven't crafted for a while,
I feel these cards are very simple and plain.
but they did get me into making some more
a little better than these!

Got some results!

I have been having tests recently and found out my results today.
I have the start of rheumatoid Arthritis, I was kind of expecting it,
as family members also have it!
The scans show its the start of it, I had a injection today
and have to go back to hospital on
Monday to sort out the drugs I will be on.
Just something else I have to
live with, I am sure I will get used to it and
have good and bad days.
Here's to the future!!

I am Crazy!


I have been busy today trying to arrange my lounge,
the main reason is I have a desk I can use to craft on and
I thought why not make use of it,
instead of using up the dining table for a change!



My mind is willing but my body sure is not!
I have to get Steve to lend me a hand and move some stuff!


One day I will craft again!
