Paper Frosting Friday!

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well.....and welcome to Paper Frosting Friday!

Today I have some Halloween frosting to share.....a set of mason jars filled with some

 perfectly scary Halloween creatures.......just right for cards, layouts, journals,

 maybe even good for a home decor project!

To make I simply stamped then die cut the mason jar, added the die cut filling, added

some faux gems then finished with some bakers twine tied around the jar top!

Rightio, that's my lot for today.....looking forward to having my Grandson  later.

Thanks for calling & whatever you're up to......have a lovely day!

Thursday Throwback!

Gosh, don't these weeks roll by quickly?

Thursday already which means time for another Thursday Throwback post......my weekly

look back at previous crafty makes to see how far I've come............or not, as the

case may be lol! If you fancy joining me do leave me a comment so I can come

visit you back!

Today I'm looking back over one of the 1st mixed media pieces I made......a blank canvas, I

simply sprayed various coloured inks along the top & let it drip down, whilst it was

still slightly damp I lightly sprinkled glitter over it. Once dry I added the die cut butterfly, 

sentiment & jewel drops! Quick, easy & great fun and gave me the courage to try

more mixed media!

Thanks for calling & for any comments you might leave,,,,,,see you tomorrow!

Quick & Easy!

Hi friends......hope you're all well & having a lovely day!

Thanks for all your lovely comments on the photo of Asher yesterday and birthday

wishes for my son.......takeaway tea was delicious but oh my, I'm glad we don't

eat it too often.....and I didn't even have room for birthday cake lol!

Sometimes we need a quick & easy card so today I have the quickest & easiest card to share......perfect for those last minute makes that we all need from time to time! 

It's simply layers of card & a top layer of paper, a die cut sentiment & a couple 

of faux gems! Obviously, the paper & sentiment can be changed to suit the occasion and

 I thought these would be good to package up & give as gifts so the recipient had a 

selection of cards for a selection of occasions.

And they're a great way to use up bots & bobs too......bonus!

Rightio, off to do some jobs, thanks for calling......see you tomorrow!

Something for the Weekend!

Hi friends......welcome to Something for the Weekend.......a chance to share something,

 anything............could be a crafty make, a recipe, a photo, a joke.......or just 

something that makes you smile!

Leave me a comment so I can visit you back!

So today I'm sharing a photo.......my gorgeous Grandson Asher never fails to make me smile

& this is one of my favourite pics of him fast asleep in my arms....I so love snuggles with him!

He's such a happy little fella & has the most amazing blue eyes....can't believe he's 10

months old already!

I hope you're all well.......and those of you in the UK I hope you're enjoying the

 Bank Holiday weekend......the last one til Christmas!! And isn't the weather just 

typical Bank Holiday weather? Rain, dull grey skies & a little bit chilly! Not to worry

though cos I'm having a crafter-noon.......and a no-cooking day! One of my boys has a

 birthday today so he's coming round for tea......and we're having Chinese takeout!!

Probably my favourite......followed by chocolate birthday cake lol! 

Rightio, better go get on........and better get some extra chairs out too else they'll all

be standing up lol!

Thanks for calling......see you tomorrow!

Paper Frosting Friday!

Hi friends.......happy Friday!

 Hope you have something nice planned for the weekend?

I have a little batch of Paper Frosting to share today.............a bit of a Summer festival

 theme going on with the tie dye/watercolour papers, perfect for your journals,

 scrapbooks & cards!

A mix of die cuts & stamping, all (mostly)layered up with some black card & finished with a

few faux gems.......it looks so much prettier IRL!

Rightio, that's my lot for today.............having my Grandson come to stay later on, ooh I 

love having him, I know I'm biased but he's the most gorgeous boy!

Whatever you're up to have a lovely day........see you tomorrow!

Thursday Throwback!

Hi friends.......happy Thursday, hope your week is going well!

It's dull & grey here, a slight drizzle but thankfully cooler.........perfect 

weather for crafting methinks!

So as it's Thursday it's time for a Thursday Throwback pic......When I first started out on

 this crafting journey I was more into scrap booking so this little card was a natural

follow on. A quite simple card with only  a couple of embellishments but oh my, I

 remember how long it took to cut all those layers of decoupage lol....thank

goodness for die cut layers now! I did enjoy making it though & I remember the friend it

was for was ever so pleased with it.

If you fancy joining me on these Thursday Throwback posts just leave me a comment

so I know & can visit you back!

Thanks for calling......see you tomorrow!

Merry Christmas!

Hi friends......hope you're all well!

I had such a busy day yesterday, don't think I had 2 minutes to myself all day so

today I'm having a quick tidy up, putting tea in the slow cooker then it's

playtime! I really need to get my Christmas craft on but my head's so full of things

I want to try I don't know where to start lol! 

So today I have another topper to share.....Christmas themed in  one of my favourite

combo's of kraft & white. Lots of die cut layers, a poinsettia, some foliage & finished

 with some faux gems & a die cut sentiment. Quick, easy & quite pretty, I think!

Apologies for the pic.....the weather's really quite strange today.....sunshine, showers,

dull grey skies.......really warm then really cool.....light then dark and none of it

 makes for a good photo. Think I might have to invest in a light box!

Thanks for calling......whatever you're up to have a good day!

See you tomorrow for Thursday Throwback!
