Duncan’s Valentines card

Hi guys,

I know what you are saying ……… I go quiet for ages and then you can not shut me up.

016

This is the front of Duncan’s Valentine’s card. I was just playing with my new Heart nesties and can up with this.

017

The heart in the middle is from the Personal Impressions Wedding collection. I heat embossed it with pink.

I hope you like and that Duncan does too.

My Best Friend’s Birthday card

 

Hi guys,

 

It was my best friend’s Birthday the other week and I really find it hard to make her cards as she is a crafter too.

Above is a picture of the whole thing.

Mandy loved her card as it was a little different.

Thanks for looking

Bird House

Hi guys,

I have done a little crafting besides the cross stitch. My friend at work…Sue loves her garden and last year I did her a candle and matching card with a garden theme and this year it was like what could I do………along came the Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine with a little bird house……..so I spent a weekend doing……..this……

002

I used papers from the Papermania Blueberry Hill collection and from My Mind’s Eye collection. The boarder punch is an old Friskars one…………collecting dust on a shelf.

005

The inside of the bird house.

I have to say that my friend was completely gobsmacked……….. and this shocked quite a few people in the office.

There is only one problem now and that everyone expects something like this. I told Sue she would get a normal card next year and I was told that I had to beat that………..I have a year to think of something.

Hope you like it.

Luv Jane

At last………finished!

 

Hi guys,

I have been very quiet for a  few  weeks and the reason is below:

019

I let Duncan pick a Dragon cross stitch about 3 years ago and I did say that I would do it for Christmas………in my wisdom I never said which Christmas ( Good thinking on my part). While you have the colour thread I also had to use filament which I had never heard of. As soon as I received it, I started on the project. I could not get on with the filament at all so it was put away until last Easter. I went to my mates……..Paperlace………..and unpicked it all ( this was about 30 stitches) and started all over again but with a new tool…….thread heaven…………….which I think is better than sliced bread. It was put away a few times due to other crafty projects and work but I finally finished just after the New Year!!!!! I have to say it drove me up the wall quite a few times but I am so proud of the finished Dragon……..even Duncan is impressed.

020

I have now started on another project so watch this space.

Please let me know what you think?
