This & That

A few makes and a quick catch up.

Another wee exploding box.

This one is for a girl I work with,
who loves Sean Bean.

The girls over at Totally Gorjuss
want bling.....well there it that on the inside.

~~~~~T~~~~~


Another lassie at work,
who has just become an Auntie
for the first time.

I know I have used this idea before,
after Kate used it at her card class,
but I love the effect of the paper piecing.
I am entering it in Crafty Pad
who want circles.


~~~~~T~~~~~

Lastly yet another lass at work had a birthday.

GG tags I got in Inverness.


~~~~~T~~~~~

My own gorgeous girls.

Sharing left over ice cream.


and a wee smile.

not too much going on here,
Bella was spayed on Thursday,
she has been very good,
but it is really difficult keeping her
calm and quiet.
She wants to run and play with
Poppy.....

Hope you are all grand.
Love Teen xx

blue over you?

Well Miss Bella-Boo had a lovely time
at the puppy party last night.
10 pups all from 12 weeks to about
4 months..running around like crazy dogs,
sorry socializing.....for half and hour.
She loved it!

Right less puppy bleathers and
back to the cards....

I love this flower punch.
Have not done many cards lately
without uising it!
Anyway.
This is my card for Allsorts
who want black, white and one other colour.
So I used blue.
And One Stop Craft Challenge
who want swirls and pearls.

It kind of reminds me of old fashined blue and
white china my Gran used to have.

~~~~~~~~
Have been playing around with
post it note holders.
Still not getting them how I want them
but it's a fun gift none the less.
I added white lines to edgethis but didnt take a new photo before
I gave it to the person I made it for.
It looks much better with the white
lines around the edge.

Bella-Boo wanted to get in on the photo
session outside!
She is growing so fast!
The pic you can see is of a card
for our nephew Mac's Birthday.

Happy Birthday Mac!


She used to hide under here from Poppy!

Who me?

Talking of Poppy......

Oh....and I won the lucky dip
at Crafty Ribbons for
Freebie Friday!!!
Go and see Mollie, the most
beautiful wee Lassie
who picks the winners each week!

Hope you are all well.

much love teen xx

Crafty Ribbons #4 Spring Time

I am so loving the Crafty Ribbon Challenges!
It has given me the chance to play with some beautiful Ribbons
and to use some colours
that I normally wouldn't go for!

This challenge is Spring Time

I so love the pale blue Butterfly one
you can see there!

they ask that in return for these lush
ribbons you send them two cards you
have made using the ribbons for that theme.

Anyway I have made three cards.....

I have used a button as the centre as Crafty Ribbons
sell buttons at Crafty Buttons too.

I have picked the colours out of the ribbon bow
for the flowers on this card.
I must admit the ribbons are wider
than what I normally use,
I love using thiner ribbons on my cards.
I have used a tiny piece of
orange Gingham in her hair.

This third card I have made using
a photo fron the Crafty Ribbons website.
It is flowers made from Ribbons.


I have really enjoyed using the
ribbon as the inspiration,
rather than making the card first and
then adding the ribbon as an embellishment.

I have also made a folded paper tag book.
I used chalk inks to burnish the mount board cover.

The colours of the papers inside are from the
flowers I cut out from the Ribbon.
Again I have used photo's from the website

including pictures from each
Ribbon Challenge so far
and a few extras I liked,
including the team at Crafty Ribbons.

I have left the tags blank so the
Crafty Ribbons Team can add some info themselves.

The daisy at the top of each tag is made from
a pearly vellum and a tiny yellow button.

I so LOVE the pumpkin orange ribbon on this!!!

I know this post contains a lot of photos
but I am so chuffed at not being last to complete
this challenge and they are in an envelope
ready to go into the post box!!!
