Life on the Farm

I have been playing with my Graphic 45 Farmhouse collection again, this time I have created a card. 

I have used several of the papers from the main collection along with some from the Patterns & Solids.  I added one of the Ephemera Cards and created a rosette with a Tim Holtz die, I have just treated myself to a cordless glue gun and I have to say I love it - so much easier than having to plug in and then fight the cable when you try to stand it up!  I also used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies.

Rise & Shine

I am in the process of making a Teeny Weeny Tag Album with the Graphic 45 Farmhouse Collection, I am following a Facebook Live Class with Clare Charvill from My Creative Spirit - it is taking me a while, I think I am the slowest crafter in the world, so I thought I would take a little time out and make a tag!

I love the Farmhouse Collection, it has lots of super Chicken images in it.  I love Chickens, we had two a while ago and we are probably going to get some more in the near future.  I die cut the tag and added a couple of the fabulous papers along with a couple of items from the Cut-Apart Sheet, I fussy cut the Chickens from one of the Ephemera Cards and added them with foam tape.  I made the little rosette from one of the Patterns & Solids papers and added a little cow that I die cut from one of the papers.  The ribbon, button and twine are all from my stash.

Hopefully I will complete my album soon and will be able to share it with you.  Thank you for visiting my blog today - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

New Job

My son's girlfriend starts her first job tomorrow, she hasn't fully completed her Masters Degree yet but she has managed to find a job in her chosen field - well done Hannah!

I used some 6" x 6" papers from Crafter's Companion along with my Hunkydory Bold and Beautiful Alphabet dies.

Modern Times

This is the card that I created for me and hubby to give to our youngest son on his Birthday.

I used the Ciao Bella Modern Times collection, I used elements from both the 12 x 12 collection and the A4 collection, I fussy cut some of the bits and bobs and inked the edges of everything, I computer generated the sentiment.

Burger and Chips

It was my youngest son's Birthday yesterday and this is the card that I created for his brother to give him.  He loves a burger and chips and has chosen this for his Birthday dinner, home made of course!

I used my Tattered Lace Tempting Treats collection, I had to buy this collection as soon as it came out, I just knew that it would be perfect to make a card for Laurence.  There are dies and Charisma, my inspiration came from one of the cards in the Tattered Lace Gallery, I just added a computer generated sentiment.

Season's Greetings

This is another Christmas card that I created with my Carta Bella Christmas collection.

I have the digital collection, there are lots of Echo Park, Carta Bella and other collections available from Snap Click Supply, I find it much more affordable and convenient to have the digital collections, you can print as many copies as you like and they don't take up any room in your craft room.  I used two of the papers, a topper, a border and a sentiment along with my Sue Wilson Poinsettia dies again, this time I used red card stock.

All Is Calm

I decided to create another Christmas card whilst I had my Carta Bella Christmas collection on my desk.

I love the papers and topper with the little Christmas Houses on it, I used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies - I haven't used them for a while, I was getting withdrawal symptoms!  I used my old Sue Wilson Poinsettia dies again and this time I added some dark brown card stock.
