Sew Serendipitist

Hi to you all,

I always wondered when I was reading other blogs about how they make cards to enter into multiple challenges.
Do they pore over the challenge list trying to incorporate many items, or is there an easier way ???
Well I think I discovered it..it's called serendipity !

I set out to make a special card for my best girl and although it didnt turn out as I had planned, (why do we have these impossible images in our head ?), I was more than happy with the result.

Upon bloghopping through the blogs that I follow, I find that I can enter this card into no less than 4 challenges ! Woo hoo !
So here we go

I was pleased with the roses. I started trying to make a completely different flower and ended up with these. More serendipity.

Last lot.....

Hiya all,

Just going to show you the last few birthday cards. These are anonymous I'm afraid as they were from Joans other crafty friends, who I don't know, but they are too nice not to show.

Enough now of blogging everyone else's creations and back to my own.(When I get round to making them).

I have three cards to make this month and a date on Saturday at the Eclectic Keepsakes Crop so hopefully should have some stuff to show and tell soon.

Happy Crafting

And there's more...

Time to show off another few of Joans birthday cards..sorry I am still running behind, life is just getting in the way at the moment !

Anyway, here is Hildas book card, all beautifully stamped as usual.

And the inside is just as lovely...

Jeans card is another stamped marvel...check out that ruffled ribbon, and the handmade flowers.

And lastly for today a fabulous card from Trudy with a lovely gift of altered jewellery.

Hope you all enjoy looking at them as much as I do.

Oh and thank you all for your comments about my background, I like it too so I'll keep it for a while.

Birthday Cards

Well Hello,

How d'ya like my new background ? Not too sure myself, but will give it a try.. what do you think ?

As promised I am going to show you the birthday cards my talented crafty Kent gals made for Joans birthday, I think I will spread it out over a few days.

Today I'll show you mine. This is a variation on a theme shown in another post. The die is from Marianne, and the papers are papermania. The lovely stamp is a craft stamper freebie, this looks great stickled up.

The next one up is Vicky's, a lovely silhouette lady

The last one today is by Jenny, I know she has been after this stamp for a long time, and I'm sorry but I forgot to get any details on it. Anyway it was worth the wait.

Right, thats all for today..got to get working :(, back tomorrow.
Please leave some comments on the cards, I love to hear from you.

My Birthday Boy

Hello all

Today is my favourite son's birthday (it's ok , I've only got one ! )
He's a lovely boy and I'm very proud of him.
So Many Happy Returns darling, see you soon.

I made this from some paper I pinched from my good friend Jean at my last Kent meet, also used her stamps and cogs..so all in all maybe my son should thank Jean for his card. I did make it though

And the insert

I loved the sentiments, they seemed really appropriate.

Anyway talking of birthdays I'll be back tomorrow to show you my Kent crafters creations from Joans birthday.
See you then x

Hello hello I'm back again

Hi All,

So sorry I haven't posted for so long. I was on holiday on the beautiful island of Tenerife.
Upon my return we had to celebrate Joans birthday at my Kent Crafting group, and then I had to catch up with work.
Just as I was more or less up to date my MIL was admitted to hospital and time has just got away from me.
Anyway, the upside is I have a lot to share with you, so as from tomorrow I will try and post every day until I have caught up. Leaving you with some dolphin and whale watching from Tenerife

Have a de'light'ful day

 

Good morning all. Hope you had a good weekend. Isn't it hot ? Not that I'm complaining. Just thought I would post the chandelier card that I made at my Kent meeting last Tuesday. The stamp is a freebie from Card Stamper mag and the papers are Papermania. When I got these papers home I wondered how I'd used them , but the pad is very depleted now !


As Little Claires Challenge #10 is 'pink and brown', I'd like to enter this card.
