               2019                        





Hi everyone a new year and a new start here on my blog.

After my special friend Jayne Nestorenko passed away
my creative side went into hiding. I had no interest in crafting at all.
I know this would have upset Jayne, as it was her passion too.
After redesigning and refitting my craft room, I am now back
with my mojo well and truely reinstated.

After watching Create and Craft and Hochanda and seeing
 all the wonderful new products out there, how
 could I not want to get back to my crafting.

At the moment I am loving the 3d dies and Charisma images from Tattered Lace.

Heartfelt Creations stamp, die and paper pad collections

Tonic Memory book dies

 closely followed by

Crafter's companion 3d embossing folders and dies

Now my problem is keeping up with all the new products!!


I know we are already at the end of January! can you believe it??
But I have decided to post my latest creations onto my long forgotten blog
as from today. I hope you will join me in my crafting journey.

So I thought I'd start with the last card I created using 
Tattered Lace Heavenly Blooms collection which I absolutely love.
They are large 3d dies and on this card I have used the daisy.


I used the Easy Easel card die, but not as it was designed to be.

Instead I folded the base and matt layer in half.

Cut two extra side panels, which I then cut down 
and mounted on card, to create a centre pocket. 

I used the centre matt die to create the tags. I found these
to be too wide. So I recut it matching up the middle
 point to make it narrower. Cut them in half and slipped
  three into the pocket. Inked the edges to make them stand out.

I then printed out the Charima images for the Daisy and die cut them.
Using 3d foam pads to give dimension, I added them to the corner.

Quite an easy card to make, but I hope you agree it is affective
and fresh looking.

I hope you will pop back to see what I have been creating. 
Leave me a message If you like what you see.

Bye for now my crafty friends
See you soon
