It's been a while......

As you can imagine, it has been difficult

adjusting to loosing my Mum.

It is true that you don't know

what you have till it's gone.

I haven't done much crafting lately,

have gone to a few craft days,

including two amazing GJWHF days.

But today, I want to share with you

a memory box I made for my Mum.

If you are on my Facebook

you will have seen this already.

There are a fair few photo's.

The lid.

The papers are layered on white card

stock that I inked using distressing inks.

I stamped the image too far up

so you don't see it very well once

the lid is on.

The lid, my favourite bit.

I was really struggling with this new blogger,

Thank goodness Pam told me how to

change it back to the old layout.

Anyway..... enough of my rambles,

how have you been ??

hearts and flowers

It has been a funny crafty time for me today.....
I have one card I made here that ended up
nothing like the sketch I was following....

But I am going to enter it in
Scrapbook sisters challenge who want
flowers, ribbon and gems.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This one was meant to have a red & white
gingham heart on it, but the papers looked
awful with the red ribbon I wanted to use,
so it was replaced with this wee sugar nellie
I found in half coloured on my desk!

I also managed to tear the wee heart at the
edge of the white card I had punched.
But I still like this card.

Colour create challenge wanted Kraft/red with white or cream.


~~~~~T~~~~~

Lastly.....my friend Anita makes the most scrummy
cupcakes and gives them as gifts in fab boxes.
She asked me to make a tag before.
These are some more I made based on the
boxes Anita uses.

Pink and white roses,
red and white dots,
pink gingham,
and blue gingham.

I also bought her some
"Made by Anita" printed ribbon
from crafty ribbons.

Pixie Dust want tags this week!

Hope this finds you well.

much love Teen xx

Birdies & puppy dog tails

Lots of photos.....
only two cards,
and a wee felt flower.
But doggy updates are included.

My first card is using
my new Martha Stewart punch.
I am entering it in
Scrapbook sisters Thank you Challenge.

I didn't want this to be too
fussy as the wee birdies papers
are made using basic grey scraps
that are a bit busy.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Next card is for a friend I hope to see tomorrow.
I am loving my new punch,
and can see it being used a lot.
The back ground paper is basic grey again.

Cute card Thursday want 1,2,3.
I have used 1 punch,
2 stamps and 3 colours.
Pixie dust want buttons on the card.
Truly scrumptious want pink, brown & green.

~~~~~T~~~~~

This felt flower is for the same person
the card is for.
I made this flower using
tim holtz cutting die.

OK......
It's doggy time!!
This doggy bed is like a wee house
and has two openings into it.
We had to remove it as these two fight
over it, and bash who ever
is trying to get in the house.
They are both too big to fit
right inside it.....
But both try anyway!

They are as like chalk and cheese
in every way.

Our friend broke her ankle
when she fell on the ice,
her wee dog came to stay
with us for almost a week.....
He loves Poppy....
He is not so keen on Bella.
But Bella really doesn't care.....

Hope you are grand xxxx

love is.......

Few cards from me today,
I know, I know....
nothing from me in weeks and then....
well you know the rest !

Was my Mam & Dad's Wedding Anniversary
yesterday and this was the simple card I made them.
The backing paper is a tea green in colour.
My photo's are nae great....but
I am focusing on not stressing over wee things
just now.......

Totally Gorjuss want a card for someone
special....and my folks are special to me.

This card is a play around with new stamps.
I am not sure about it at all.
I think I made a mess of colouring her eyes.
I have a sentiment but dont want
to say who it is for till I get it posted,
and the person recieves it.

Sine this wee sweet pea is a fairy
she is my entry for the following challenges.
My Time to craft want up in the air,

~~~~~T~~~~~

None of us like making them...
but I think they are worth the effort.
I didnt want to do a black a white card this time.
Last few I have sent have been B & W.

~~~~~T~~~~~


And lastly a thank you card.

I actually cut out a few red felt hearts
to make tree decs to send.
But ran out of time!
Maybe next year.....

This fits Allsorts ,
and Cute Card Thursday
who both want thank you cards.
And after Anne's recomendation
I have also entered it in
Phindy's place's challenge for thank you cards too.

Hope you are all well
Love Teen xx
