Should be cleaning but....

I am making the most of my day off
before going back to work tomorrow.
I have just about finished sorting my craft area out.
I can't find my tweezers...but did find
a few other bits I had lost.

Got a few cards done,
The lighting is not so great
but I hope the idea of what I was trying to do.

This one is an order for a workmate.
It's for a lassie they know who has
special needs, will be 21 & loves goldfish.

This is what I ended up with.
I tried it with papers on the front but
I think it looks better left plain.

The fishie is on a folded acetate strip
so sticks though the bowl.
And the 21 is flat on the pale blue
shimmery card inside.


The grass is stuck inside the card on the bowl.
The fishie is glittered, and a few glitter bubbles are
ment to look like they coming from its wee mouth.

I tried again with the fiskers shape cutter
to cut out a large circle shape.
But I still canny get it right.
I am entering it in the ABC Challenge
G for Glitter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now you know I am not good with these wee
Forever Friends bears.
I love what everyone else dose with them
But am rubbish at colouring them in.
So....left them plain on shimmery pearl card.
Used my sukura pen to colour the heart and Ribbon.

The black backing paper is a shimmery too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My last one is using up an image sent to me by Debbi
still haven't inked mine up yet...
was waiting till I got to Amanda's for a crafty day,
Didn't get there again yesterday.......
talk about jinxing it!

Not sure about this one.
I used my paper of the moment Bo Bunny,
turned it round so I could fit in the
text and the image.
It is to go to one of two folk, just not sure who yet.
The flowers & stems are coloured with sukura glaze.
I am entering it for One Stop Craft Challenge
who this wee want you to use bling on your card.


Right, am gonna go have some food,
then finish watching Lewis from last week
and then go do some more crafting!
I have two more bits to finish off
and a few ideas I want to tinker with.

have a lovely Sunday.

much love Teen xxx

Craft Pad # 15

It's Spring time !!!

honest it is!
OK so we have had snow & rain &
the odd sleet shower!
but it is Spring time baby!
(Did you remember to put the clocks forward?!?!)
Anyhooo......


Over at Crafty Pad # 15
we are celebrating Spring!
We are looking for you to use
spring time colours
yellows, oranges, pinks, greens etc.

You can use any stamp you want but if
you want to be entered in the wee prize draw
then you need to use one of the
Crafty Pad stamps please.

So this week I have done two cards.
( can you tell I am off work on leave this week?)

Firstly.....
Here is Ted and the ball


I used my nesties to cut out the front of the card
and the ball is embossed yellow vellum .
( now I am singing they call me mellow yellow
each time I think yellow vellum ....
are you now too?)
Have also punched out green velum leaves.

The next card is more to do with new life
as in starting a new phase in life.




This is for my mate who is starting a new phase
and it is my first ever
Congratulations on your divorce card!
Now I am Happily Married,
and I am not taking divorce lightly,
but this is a good thing for my Mate.

And I hope she finds Happiness and Joy !

I am not sure that when the lovely Debbie
was designing these fab stamps
this is what she had in mind for Faith....

But just shows how versatile
these stamps are eh!!
