Wild Flowers…

Hello

I might just make the cut off for the current challenge at Jane’s Doodles #5 here.

 

This card uses another new set for me – Jane’s Doodles Wild Flowers

I coloured with alcohol markers, fussy cut and teamed with Kaszazz Speckled frame, PTI sentiment and some die cuts.

 

I was very lucky in the last challenge at Jane’s Doodles – I received an Honorable mention + the random prize!

Until next time

Cheers

Jane’s Doodles …

Hello

I’ve made a set of little note cards and packaged into a re purposed box. I am linking up to the challenge at Jane’s Doodles.

I started by making 6 note cards finished size 8.5cm x 6cm to match some small envelopes I had on hand. I think these fall into the cute category just by their size.

I stamped images from Jane’s Doodles Doodle Flowers II and Flying High using various inks from SU and PTI along with Versafine onyx black. I paper pierced the kite using scraps of SU patterned paper.

As promised here are some pics of my jumper

I am using Drops 123-3 knitted with Debbie Bliss Cotton yarn. This is knitted in the round so all I have left are the sleeves. I have not knitted sleeves in the round before. I have started meeting with some other crafty ladies at my local library I am enjoying looking at everyone’s projects. This week there were several ladies working on applique for their quilts, lots of knitters and one lady making envelopes. I finished off two more poppies either scroll down or here https://frommycraftroom.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/a-little-update/

I am hoping to find some crafty time in the school holidays which start here tomorrow. Optimistic as I have bought home 2 boxes of work from the office.  I have also found pinterest in the last week.  Still learning how to get around and pin things.  If you have any handy hints or tips I would love to know.

Thanks for stopping by

Cheers

Summer fun at Jane’s Doodles…

Happy Friday

Lots of pics to share today.

First

Muse Challenge #80

Therese inspired me to make this.

which I am also linking up to the challenge at Jane’s Doodles – Summer Themed Card – A little out of the box for Summer – Summer Flowers?

♥and another pic

Jane's Doodles - Doodle Flowers II (497x640)

I used Jane’s Doodles Doodle Flower II inked with PTI, SU and memento tuexedo black inks. I used an aqua pen for the leaves.  The card front and sentiment are popped up with foam tabs. I used grey for the outline over the pink – it is a little hard to see in the pics.

I had intended to link these little book labels up to the challenge at Jane’s Doodles – but realised the challenge was for a card.

One of the things I usually do over summer is read.

and

Jane's Doodles Read all about it (640x506)

I used Jane’s Doodles Read All about and Flying High (the sun). I stamped onto SU Whisper white cardstock 5cm x 9cm each with various inks and others coloured with alcohol markers. I also sponged a few with ink and sponge tool.

The back of the label has a small amount of double sided tape which will make adhering to the inside of a book easy.

I intend to use this set a lot to make labels for books – hopefully they will find their way home that way. I think my book club friends would like a little set each.

Little Miss A (9) is trying out for the school athletics team so I’m off to watch.

Have a great weekend

Thanks for stopping to visit.

Cheers
