My autumn card for Heathers challenge 11 on incy wincy blog

October already

Where has September gone I seemed to blink my eyes and October is here, this is the month to do my christmas cake and make a huge effort to start my christmas cards which this year is odd as I usually make 10 a month starting January, but that didnt happen.
I also want to make a start on christmas presents.
We are also having a community day in Nairn and we have been given a table to show what we do at the craft club and also sell some items. thats the 21st November.
So all in all a busy month.

This is a card I did for Heather, I stamped a self coloured flower onto printed card the same colours and it worked very well

I HAVENT DONE MUCH CRAFTING BUT i HAVE ALOT TO DO NOW.

I would also like to wish my friends, Melissa, Jackie,Morag and Brenda luck with their new venture on saturday, they are opening their own CRAFT SHOP in CARLISLE Arch 6 Viaduct estate road. The grand opening in this saturday where they are having allsorts of goodies, and freebies. If your close to that area please make a visit as they know their craft stuff.
GOOD LUCK GIRLS!!!

I was going to a housewarming party last night and realised I hadnt made a card so I had seen this done by one of the ladies that come to our craft club so although I have to work on the measurements for a 1st attempt im quite happy they were very impressed.

I made this card for a dear friend who has just had an operation, Its 3 layer decoupage and I used the easiscore board for the wavey line. cut out tags free hand and I love to add corners.

Well I have been doing another wedding card and once again I chose a bookatrix, I do like doing them they always come out just the way you want them, I have scanned this one in to see if it gives a better picture than the camera. MMMmmmmmm not sure the jury is out on that one.
I have chosen cream and gold as i dont know the colours of the wedding with coral h20s to highlight the flowers. there is detail on each page a verse, hearts, wedding rings, 2 roses, and whats on the front. The ribbon I got from a friend in a swap which is gorgous and sets the card off just right.

finished parchment card

Well heres my finished parchment card, i have to say I am delighted with it and hope my friend it to. she will be getting it tomorrow.
I printed off the happy birthday wishes and her name on the computer and used the silver tinta ink and traced it then whenthat was dried i embossed it from the back and used brads to attach them.

Well I have been a wee bit busy playing in the craft room, Im not sleeping great as usual so spending my nights quietly crafting, so the noisy things like heat embossing has to wait for the morning.
Today has also been a stressfull day as someone decided to drive into the side of my car, she pulled out as I was going past her, she didnt see my big volvo!!!!uuuuuuggggggggg!!!!!
One of the girls at works birthday is tomorrow so I did a quick decoupage card as wehadan indian carryout at lunch time as she was at work manning the phones. its linen effect orange and cream card, and I used a fiskars border punch, i love the quick ones.


This is a parchment card I have been working on for the last week , I decied to go for something challenging and have learnt alot through doing it. There is alot of work in it. I have still to finish the card and will post the end product this week coming.
This is a Bookatrix card for a wedding its ruby/burgandy/cream and gold. I know these are the colours for the wedding, each page has either a verse or a peeloff with some romantic theme. it has worked out well i think.
I also made the box for it the top has the same ruby bow on it.

I have entered this bookatrix to the colour create challenge 26 ruby cream & gold.
