thanks a bunch

Last bunch of thank you cards....
I made others but posted them with out
remembering to take photos!
DUH!


Some more 10cm easel cards.
I really like these wee cute sizes.
All made using craftwork card papers.

I like this one, flower stamp is from a See D set.

This one..... I am not so sure off,
It looks nothing like I had imagined it would.

Last one of the small cards.
I love the flower, stamped onto backing papers
and wording just shows through the
promarkers I used to colour.

Might add some more to this,
but really like the pearls in the centre.

Two bigger cards,
This one is for the folks at my work,
need to give it another tap
to get rid of the excess glamour dust.

Last one.....Honest!
I really like this one.
No idea who this will be for!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Back to work for me tomorrow.
much love Teen xx

thank you, thank you, thank you x

Well turning 40 didn't hurt at all!
I had a lovely day, even though I have been
sneezing and sniffing all week
with another blasted cold.

Thank you to everyone who
left me Birthday Wishes.

{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

I received some beautiful cards
from bloggy mates, and once I get
some photos taken, I will proudly
show them on here!

Thank you cards are now required,
have only managed to get four done so far.

They are 10cm easel cards.

I enjoyed using craftwork papers
and card candy on them all.
Got a fair few still to make!

The first one I made.

This is the one I like the best.

A wee bit of heat embossing used on this one.

I really am needing to improve my photo taking skills!

Hope you are grand.

Happy Thanksgiving

to all those who celebrate !
Love Teen xx

birdies and puppies

Well....I am back again,
my old laptop died
and my wee netbook
is good for surfing but
a nightmare for blogging.

I have a new laptop
(Thanks Hubby!)

I am slowly getting used to
the new keyboard layout.
I keep hitting what I think is the
shift key, but it activates
the web and publishes
the post before I am done....


I also dont know how to activate
a spell check on this or facebook
when I leave a comment or write a post.
So many errors may appear
until I get that sorted out.


~~~~~T~~~~~

The next three pics are from
Kates card class at papercrafts.

Firstly.....a door hanging.
Sorry for colours, I haven't
figured out photo editing just yet either.

~~~~~T~~~~~


I love this next layered card.
It was meant to have some golden glitter on it,
but I haven't got round to that yet.

The white card is hammered,
and lifted up on foam pads.

~~~~~T~~~~~

Lastly, I really love this card.
The wee birdie is a stampin up punch.

I didn't line up my scollops properly.

~~~~~T~~~~~


Lastly....I had an amazing time at the SECC,
bumped into some friendly faces,
& thanks to a demo from the amazing Kath,
I can now use my fiskers shape cutter
that I have had for a few years
and never been able to use!!

It was mega busy on the Saturday,
and also amazing how many rude people
you can fit into such a packed place!
There was some real crazy shoppers!!!

My pal who drove me down
bought me this beautiful
Penny Black stamp.

I bought these 8 inch pre cut cards.
but to be honest they are
pretty thin & not sure I will use them
too often due to that.


Right......
a puppy update.

Bella Boo the blondie is 8 1/2 months,
and as cheeky as anything.

Now it looks like Bella and Poppy
arehaving a violent fight
but they like to play rough!
They chase each other,
hide and pounce on each other
all the time.
Teeth clack and fur is pulled....
but no tears are shed,
and they both go back for more.

This is their bed.
AKA the playpen.

Is Poppy smiling???

I love this next one the best.


Poppy fell asleep with her head resting on
Bella's paw.

Hope you are all well.
Much love Teen xx

Thank with Roses.

For the last 6 weeks
I have been going to the local
college and having massage by a
Complementary Therapy student.
It has been blissful.
The student was such a lovely person.
I made her this thank you card
and gave her an altered tin
with some Rose scented goodies in it.
Since that is one of my favorite
aromatherapy oils.

I am entering the card in a few challenges.
Secret Crafters saturday Challenge ~ Buttons & blooms
Passion for promarkers ~ Anything goes


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

I am not sure about the colours in this next card.
I have used my fave set of butterfly stamps
from Crafty Pad.
I used two shades of orange vellum to make
the punched flowers. But not sure about them.
The base vellum has flecks of gold and orange in
it, and the butterflies are coloured using
distressing inks and sukura pen.

I am entering it in crafty pads competition.

My time to craft want vivid cards.

hope you are enjoying the sunshine.
much love Tina xx

ooops a daisy.

One card today.
Acetate card, cute but wonky!
Bit like myself just now!

I stamped on acetate using
brown stayzon.

The daisy petal stamp was on cream card
using bronze brilliance.

I didn't notice how wonky the petals
were until I went back to
look at it after it dried!
And found it on the floor,
the button had moved over
and taken the petals with it!

Anyway.....
it is for my Niece to give the
staff at the Heath Centre
she has been on placement at
as a thank you card.

Isn't it funny how you don't notice
all the wonky mistakes
until you see the photograph...

The hand made by Tina stamp
was made just for me by my lovely
mate in Auz Sammi.

stuff and nonsense

I came back and said things were difficult...
which they were
and then I disappeared again.
I am not sure how much time
I will be spending here, as I still
am not crafting much at all.

I have missed you all though!

I am away to go to have a peek
at what you have all been up to,
but need to say, blogger is playing up,
i can get some blogs to open
but cant leave comments....
some things never change eh!

Made a few cards this week.
needs must.....

This one is for my niece.
The button cluster is a brooch.



I am sorry i didn't thank everyone
who sent me buttons.
It was all about the time things
went belly up here.



Not my usual style but I loved making this.
It is a thank you card for a dear friend.



An order for a friend...
I loved this card!



Sympathy cards are not easy,
I tired to keep this one simple.



This one brightened my day
after making the sympathy card.

Anyway, hope you guys are all fine.
much love Teen xxx

Beautiful Frost

It was such a beautiful day here, cold but beautiful!
Minus 8 degree's C at it's lowest.
Had a lovely woodland walk with Poppy Dog.

I was happy taking pictures with my new camera.......
She was happy with a wee stickie.

I love how everything is dusted with the frost that
shimmers as the sunlight breaks through the trees.

You would like that it would be too cold to lie down
and chew a stick....
But it seems not!

Apart from the two DT cards I made yesterday
I have done very little crafting.
I did however sort out my craft area,
put away my new goodies,
and sort out stuff in my new storage thingy.......


Then made these wee Thank you Tag cards with my new Sizzex die.


Here are a few that are finished ready for posting.

keep warm xxx

2 cards, 5 challenges.

Have managed to make two cards this evening,
while my hubby makes a lovely supper.

I am enter both of them for a couple of different challenges,
this one is Poppy dog with a bonnie pink ribbon and a thank you charm hanging from it.
It moves when you pick up the card.

The first challenge is for Cute Card Thursday #39 this week being hearts.
ABC Challenge is T for three.
So here we have three colours on the card, cream, pink & white. Three hearts, using three different patterns of card, and three brads.





The weeks Challenge on This Thursday is Mistletoe and wine using either images or their colours. So I have gone for green and white of mistletoe and red for wine.
It is using my new Tilda stamp. I love her fancy shoes!!

A spoonfull of sugar is THANK YOU Cards.
So either card will do nicely thank you very much!

Paper take weekly is giving you a recipe to use on the card,


1 ribbon
2 rectangles and
3 small, round embellishments (zooms, eyelets, brads, buttons, gems etc!)



so yeaup.....one ribbon, and two rectangles a cream and a green one.....and three buttons.
I used some wire on the buttons and some fake pearls on the white button.

The wee tags on the tags are shrink plastic ones.

These tags on the wine bottle were for next door after lending me the car last week.
