<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Well what can I say but hello I'm still here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Been far too much going on in our lives the past couple of months but I have decided to try and get back into blogging. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">So without further ado here are some cards I've created in my absence.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This Gorjuss Girl card is one I made for our nieces young daughter Emily. I coloured the image using Copics and used Crealies patchwork and Sue Wilson dies.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This one is for Emily's twin brother Thomas. I have used Visible Image Stand Out stamp set on a background created using brusho's through a stencil with a touch of stickles.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This final one is another Visible Image stamp onto a background created by taking the brusho's off the stencil used for the Stand Out card. Two for the price of one.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">My friend and fellow Cliff fan Michelle was 50 yesterday so this next one is a box card I made for her. The flowers were stamped and cut from some card I had coloured using brushos sprayed with Glimmer Mist instead of water to give a lovely shimmery effect.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This is an art journal page I created. I am never sure where I am going when I start, just let the piece evolve. Well this page appears to have an taken an underwater theme. The background base is acrylic paints and I have used various stamps and a sweet poppy stencil dragon using it as a seahorse.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">It was a friend of mine's 70th birthday last week and because I know she loves flowers I decided to make her a box of flowers card. Well I only need half an excuse to make these box cards as I love them.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Two cards to share today as I haven't been very productive lately.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">The first one I made one day when I wanted to do a bit of crafting but couldn't get inspired. Anyway I pressed on using a piece of paper I had made some time ago using spray inks and some flowers made using Dreamees stamps.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This next card I made for my husbands's birthday using Visible image stamps and Distress Inks for the background. Quite simple to create but quite effective I think. </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Well it's been a month since I was last here and what a month it has been.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">A round of Doctor and Hospital visits and stays for hubby, plus various incidents to cause us a load of grief.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Hoping that things will get better very soon as there is only so much stress you can cope with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">On a brighter note I am going to share some projects I have managed to create.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This first card I made for a very dear friend's birthday later in the month. She doesn't blog so this isn't going to spoil the surprise. I used Sweet Poppy stencil with texture paste and mica powder heated to create the bubble effect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">For this next one I created the background with Distress Inks and stencil. The main image is a Visible Image stamp which came free with Craft Stamper magazine.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">For this one I used paper from my stash and the little image is Clarity and the circles Bee Crafty. Blue and brown is one of my favourite colour combos.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Spent the day crafting today for a bit of much needed relaxation after a very stressful week. My husband John has been quite poorly this week and we have spent two days in A&E although I wont go into that except to say it was a nightmare.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">So here's what I have been up to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This first panel I created as my Facebook Header using a sentiment stamp I got from Bee Crafty. Well actually all the stamps are from Bee Crafty. </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I'm back to share a few makes from the last couple of weeks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">It was my Son and DIL's birthdays on 24th so the first two are cards I made for them. </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">The first one I made for Jonathan using a Visible Image stamp on a background created with distress inks and circles by Rubberdance.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Just one card to share today. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">After watching a few YouTube videos this afternoon I felt the crafting urge and decided to use this lovely girl by Stampotique. The fishnet is a stamp by Visible Image, who by the way are on Create and Craft tomorrow with their new designs. The circles are from a set of stamps by Rubberdance.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I used Distress Inks, Picked Raspberry, Peacock feathers, squeeze lemonade and peeled paint.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I love taking a stamp and just going with thee flow, especially with these quirky stamps</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I always think of my lovely Granddaughter when I use this stamp because she is very much her own person and has gorgeous big eyes.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Here is a pretty watering can I made today</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">at <a href="http://www.sunrisecrafts.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sunrise Crafts</a> in Wombourne.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Sue Jennings took the workshop today and we had a lovely time as we always do at Sunrise. Unfortunately Bhanu our host was not able to join us as she is recovering at home after having an operation.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">We used a variety of squares and rectangles cut from pretty papers and used them to cover the card shape, edging all the pieces with distress ink. We added a touch of gold embossing powder here and there around the edges. We then added the finishing touches with die cut leaves and flowers.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Here are three creations from this week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">The first is modelling medium, cosmic shimmer mica powders with a touch of stickles through the gorgeous Sweet Poppy stencil. Used a micron pen for the border and coloured it using the same micas. I haven't made it up as a card yet.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Well 2016 has started out with bad news for us as we have lost two dear friends. John and I met through a love of football in 1968. He supported West Ham and lived in London and I supported Wolves and lived in Walsall. Sadly his best mate and fellow West Ham supporter who was responsible for our getting together passed away just after New Year. Then on Monday we heard that an ex work colleague of mine and Mother of our next door neighbour had passed away too. Two lovely people who will be deeply missed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">On a brighter note here is an art journal page that I created over the weekend. I am never too sure where I am going when I start out but gradually things come together and I am very happy with the end result. That's what I love that you can lose yourself in the project. I am still learning but enjoying the journey.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">It was our Wedding Anniversary on 27th December, 46years. OMG where have the years gone? This is the card I made for John.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I freehand cut some hearts from paper coloured using brushos and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">added some detail with a black micron pen. Coloured some pearls using copics. I really love this card.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My son & his wife moved into their new house this week and this is the card I made for them. The centre panel was created using Brushos which I love. The house & tree stamp was a freebie with Craft Stamper magazine some time ago. The banner was made with Clarity stamps.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Two cards today that I made last month. I have been making a few Christmas cards but wont share them as they haven't been sent to the recipients yet and I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">The first card is one I made for a dear friend's birthday. The backing paper is one I created using the same DI that I had used to colour the lovely poppy image and some gold random embossing.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This next one I made for my dear Granddaughter Jessica's 16th birthday last month. Like me she loves the Gorjuss girls.I coloured the image with copics, the sentiment is a Tim Holtz stamped onto a topper from the gg paper pack. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">These two cards where made for my daughter. The first one using Visible image stamp, Crealies patchwork die No.1 and background created using shaving foam and dylusions sprays. A technique we did at Pauline Butcher's workshop in August.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Today I am sharing a card and small canvas that I made for a dear friend who celebrated her birthday on Friday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">As you have probably guessed by now I love using the black and gilding wax technique so I used it for both the card and canvas, well why not? It's fun!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I used the same gilding waxes on both the card and canvas. Creative Expressions Deep Red and Graceful Blue along with Viva Inka Gold.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">For the card I used Cosmic Shimmer Gold Pearl Texture Paste through the Fantasy Willow Sweet Poppy stencil onto black card which I edged using a Krylon gold pen. The background was created using Sue Wilson's Pinpoint embossing folding and gilding wax. Shame the lovely shimmer doesn't show as well on the photos as in real life.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">We had a most enjoyable time last week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Started on the Saturday with a brilliant workshop by Andy Coates at Sunrise Crafts. We made a fabulous teacup canvas which I love.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Then it was off to Hornchurch on Sunday for a lovely famly meal to celebrate my Sister in laws 75th birthday. We then moved on to Sudbury where we stayed for a few days with John's brother and his wife at their lovely bungalow and beautiful garden. It was very enjoyable.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I used Serif Craft Artist professional 2 and a Gracie Tracy digi kit All about him, which I love and obviously great for men's cards.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Last Sunday I was lucky enough to attend Pauline Butcher's workshop in Warwick. We had a great time getting messy and thoroughly enjoying it. We concentrated on some techniques with colour using distress inks and inky sprays. We were able to finish off our creations with stamps and stencils of our choice so no two pieces were the same. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Here are my finished creations.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Well we are back from a lovely holiday in Felpham,West Sussex. I love this place as we have a house on the sea front and it is lovely just to sit and watch the world go by. The weather was kind to us and it was lovely to have the company of our Daughter, SIL and Grandchildren.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Anyway without further ado here is the card that was commissioned by a friend for her daughter's 30th birthday which was today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I embossed the blue card using a Sue Wilson folder then added a touch of gold gilding wax to the raised areas. I cut the butterflies using a Sue Wilson die then embossed them with some Wow glitter embossing powder. The image is taken from part of an Indigo Blu stamp and I layered it onto card which I had also embossed with the glitter embossing powder. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I have recently started an Art Journal, something I have thought about doing for quite a while. So here are my first two pages.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Another dull and dismal day today here in the West Midlands of the UK. Not much like summer at all at the moment but hopefully the sun will get his hat on before too long.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">A very good friend of mine became a Nanny for the first time last week to a gorgeous baby girl Olivia Louise. So today I am sharing with you the cards I made for the very proud parents and grandparents.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">For this first one for the parents I used the fabulous Crealies patchwork die, which I love, and the stamped image is LOTV. The heart pattered paper I printed from the Dreamee's Floral Delight CD</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">For this one for the Grandparents I used the same LOTV stamp and again papers and flowers from the Dreamee's CD. The banner is LaLa Land and the die is Spellbinders</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I'm back with a couple of last weeks makes. Still got the bug for creating these frames so this is the latest I made last week. Find this very relaxing and therapeutic. Amazing what you can do with a bit of cardboard, some black gesso and gilding wax.</span></div>
