Happy Birthday Angie

This is a card I made for the lovely Angie. You can find her blog here and she is also the very talented lady who designed my blog header 😀 Anyway used one of the items I purchased at the Taunton craft show to make this card. I made a background using distress oxide inks, die cut the "Ray of light"   die and layered up. Coloured the peacock using layers of hero arts inks and diecut and stamped sentiment and also layered up.

Ingredients used to make the card 
Stamp set - Hero Arts 'Color layering peacock'
Colour medium for peacock - Hero arts inks, navy, deep ocean, emerald green & lemon yellow
Dies - Creative Expressions 'Ray of light' and MFT 'Blueprints 18'
Background inks - Distress oxide inks, twisted citron, salty ocean & peacock feathers
Pearl from my stash.

Taunton craft show goodies

So today I went to the Taunton craft shop with my good friend Kelly to find some new craft goodies. The show sadly is getting smaller every year but I still found things to buy. I do most of my craft shopping online these days. I'm finding it hard going using blogger on my iPad without a app so hopefully I can add all the photos.

A bit more oxide inks play time

Well so here is another card using the Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Also used the MFT Beautful Butterflies stamp set. Need to get back in the habit of noting what I have used to add to the blog post. But anyway enough of my waffling lol. Here is the finished card.

Well add I am enjoying blogging again and having a reference for my makes.

My love for Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks ❤️

Right thanks to the help of my friend Kelly whose fab blog is here I have sussed the mysteries of uploading photos to my blog. So hopefully you will be looking at some cards I have made combining my two recent craft loves which are the distress oxide inks and Concorde and 9th Turnabout stamps

Time to brush off the cobwebs!!!!!!

Well been a long time since I have blogged, in fact not blogged since April 2016!!!
 But time to brush off cobwebs and start again as I have still been crafting.  I had been using since April 2013 a free app called Blogpress to blog for speed on my iPad but it stopped working and sadly I lost all my photos from that time up to February 2016 and there was no way of retrieving them. Luckily I had back ups of the ones of Sam ( my beloved dog) but not the others so unable to add back to blog.
So anyway lesson learnt though it did put me off blogging for a long while. As my blog is a personal reference for me and my cards and projects I shall start adding them again Once I have figured out all the changes that blogger have made!!!

Lost my photos :-(

Hi all, thought I would do a quick post to say that the app I was using on my ipad Bloggerpress is no longer available and parked!! ( not sure if going to restart either ). This has meant that any photos I have posted using this ( which are a lot ) have now disappeared :-(
And I am unable to upload most of them as have not saved them and to say I am cross is a understatement. This has put me off blogging sadly as the blogpress app was nice and quick to use. I hope to restart again once I can be sure any photos I add won't disappear again.
Happy crafting

Happy Birthday Ryan

I made this card a couple of weeks ago and thought I had better blog it so I have a record. This is for my nephew who will turn 18 shortly and I can't believe how the time has gone. He's not really into cards so knew I could get away with this one lol



For this card I used
MFT 'Blueprints 18' and
MFT ' Spotlight sentiments' stamped in Ranger 'cheese puff' dye ink and cut at a angle.
Clearly Besotted 'basic numbers' stamp set and paper from stash.
And this is my progress on my C2C (corner to corner) blanket



Loving this stitch so much that I spent yesterday ( Sunday) completing a C2C graphgan. Will add in a separate post once made into a cushion.
Happy crafting x
