More heritage pages

Good morning all :o)

I don't have any cards this morning but I do have a  couple more heritage pages.

This is my paternal grandmother and her father

The photograph of my grandmother was thought to have been taken on her wedding day in 1913 and I love it :o)

I used Crate papers for the backgrounds, and the Father/Daughter was cut out from a Crate letter page :o)

Winter Wonderland - easel with sparkle and shine

Good morning everyone, I hope you are well on this lovely sunny Wednesday :o)

This is my entry for the Winter Wonderland  easel with sparkle and shine.

I sprayed the base card lightly with silver cosmic shimmer mist which gives a bit of shine along with the McGill snowflakes which were punched from pearlised and silver paper.

The snowman is a freebie from Cuddly Buddly which I coloured with copics then mounted onto nestie cut scalloped squares then white cuttlebugged square, sentiment is unnamed and likewise mounted apart from the white square. The sparkle comes from the Glamour dust on the snowman :o) 

Stamp Something - photograph inspired

Good morning Bloggers. It is quite overcast here this morning but hopefully the cloud seems to be starting to break up a tad!

This is my entry for Stamp Something  photo inspiration and I chose to use pink and brown which are both in the photograph, and particular favourites of mine.

Base card and bands are Bazzill.

Image is from Karen's Doodles  coloured with copics. Do you get the feeling that I just love Karen's digi images? LOL.

Once again I have used my beloved Nesties and MS punches.

The ribbon and brads are from stash :o)

FFF - circle framed image

Good morning Bloggers. I hope that you are all well and had a good weekend. I took myself and my cameras off to Mapperley Reservoir yesterday after lunch and spent a very pleasant couple of hours. I enjoyed it so much that I didn't realise how far I had strolled (I don't walk very well) and had a struggle to get back to the car but I made it in the end so all's well that ends well :o)

No, onto my entry for the FFF challenge this week which is Circle framed image. I found this freebie image in my downloads folder and I am sorry to say that I don't know where it's from! Does anyone know so that I can put a name to it?

Coloured with copics and sakura stardust pens then cut out with plain round nestie and matted onto inverted scalloped nestie. The Sissix swirl is mounted onto a band edged with my fave MS punch of the moment which is the grass edge. I've used an SU sentiment stamp and pearls are from stash :o)

Update. The image is a freebie from Fred She Said  about a year back. Thank you for the information Linda  :o)

CFM #16 - Off on an adventure

Good morning all on this lovely sunny day so far. I hope you are all well and happy :o)

This is my very simple entry for CFMs challenge Off on an adventure.

I decided to have my little feller going adventuring in his dreams so here he is dreaming of winning the Olympics in his little Team GB sailing dinghy!

This super digi image is from Karen's Doodles and I've coloured it with copics then hand cut it out. Background and dinghy are my own photographs, the sky one being edge punched with MS grass punch.

I knotted a bit of garden twine to finish off :o)

Peachy keen 34 - sketch

Good morning all. I hope you are well and happy :o)

The sky here is a very funny colour this morning, a kind of steely blue/grey. Looks like it may have a lot of weather to throw at us!

Anyway, on to my entry for the Peachy Keen challenge which is a sketch this week.

I'm not too happy with it but heyho, I showed it to my frienda at Derby Dabblers last night and they liked it :o)

White base card covered with HOTP Christmas paper from a couple or so years back, and a strip of paler blue DP from stash. The diagonal striped pearlised paper was also from stash as is the spotty blue ribbon. Been raiding my scraps!

Main image is from Karen's Doodles and coloured with copics then 'nestied' 

Sentiment from SU.

I hope you like it better than I do, although it is growing on me :o)

August freebies and closing down sale

Good morning Bloggers :o)

Our August freebies are ready for you to download from J&P  I'm sorry I haven't yet had time to make sample cards with them but will be doing during the next few days.

I am feeling quite sad this morning because J&P has been a large part of my life for the last 3 years, but it is time to pull the plug. I am knocking on the door of 70 years old/young and need to slow down a tad, just a tad mind.

So, we are having a closing down sale and all 5 of our CDs are now £5 while stocks last, and our Christmas paper packs are half price. The website will close by the end of the month or sooner if stocks run out before then.

KD #22 - anything goes

Good morning Bloggers. I hope you haven't got the rain we've had all night. Luckily I got home from band practice just before it started, then it forgot to stop until this morning although it does look as though there's lots more to come!

Anyway I digress. Here is my entry for Karen's Doodles  The theme is Anything goes. This fab image is from Karen and I've coloured him with copics then cut him out and mounted him on nestie cuts. DPs are from J&P and I've used Martha Stewarts grass edge punch. I found the unnamed football stamp when I was looking for something else and there is no name on the greeting stamp either :o)

Commissioned 8x8 wedding card

My neighbour asked me to make a 'special' wedding card, I hope this is special enough for her :o)

She has seen the front and loves it but not seen the inside yet so it's fingers crossed. I have removed the 'stray' pearl on the left, it was one I lost :o)

As you can see there is lots of punching going on, plus Cricut and Nesties.

Punches used are;

Martha Stewart - PATP and butterflies

Xcut - large flowers

McGill - leaf

Woodware - leaves and small flowers

I am entering this for the Crafty Cardmakers Spotlight on Punches this week :o)

Anniversary card

For my very good friend Viv and her OH Alan, whose anniversary is today :o)

I love these giraffes from Karen's Doodles and thought they would be perfect for anniversary cards. Coloured with copics, papers from stash. I found the sentiment stamp lurking in a box when I was looking for something else  :o)
