Twoo Twit Too Hoo

Hello again,

This card  was made for my Mum’s friend who loves owls and spent many years volunteering with her local Girl Guide group and was known as Brown Owl, her own daughter has taken on this role working with the girls in their area, and as she still loves owls “I’ll have anything with owls, I love owls” this one is for her, just don’t tell her that the little owl was created out of an old calendar cut up and yes, the little owl’s feathers were in fact a large owl in the calendar…

Here’s my card:-

What I used:-

10.5 x 14.8cm card blank

Kraft card

Darice 5”x7” wood grain folder

Brown color box inkpad

Circle dies (Lifestyle crafts nesting circles)

Cottage Crafts Owl Die

Scraps from old Calendar

Elizabeth Crafts Happy Birthday Die

Black glittered card

Green, brown, pink and orange card scraps

Gift Bag

Hello again,

Well this month there are quite a few of the Christmas challenges encouraging us to spread some glittery cheer around, does it count when I drop some glitter on the Physio’s carpet, after a two and a half hour train trip to get there? I think it must have come out of my shoe ;-))

I used three separate images from Tiddly Inks Digi store Winter Wryn, puppy love and a gift pile from Williow the Christmas Fairy and merged them together to create a Christmas scene, as this was planned to be for a gift bag the images are quite a bit larger than usual and I was able to add my sentiment into a text box directly under the images.

I have had some trouble getting the design papers to stick to the yellow glitter card and I may have to adjust the bag and add more brads to help hold the whole thing together, PVA just doesn't seem to hold well enough, maybe the second coat will have helped.

Here’s a close up of the gift bag:-

and the whole gift bag, I picked up 10 gift bags in various colours from Riot art while they were having a 50% off Sale, I also picked up some plain white and kraft bags at the same time!!

Faber-Castell & Derwent Pencils

Gold Elf

Hello again...

Well the weather has turned again from a 28C heat wave in October to a 12C day in November, we have been misted in today, the only thing that changes is how far we can see in front of us...

On to my card I have several paper pads which have come with various card-making magazines over the last couple of Christmases and its time to use them up.

I saw the digi image online several years ago and had to get it, it is a little elf playing with a couple of baubles, by Birdie Brown, as Torico has closed her store the little elf is no longer available. My elf has lingered in the computer for a while and I recently printed three, which are all coloured differently. I will make the other cards over the next few days they are just waiting in the wings. 

Here's my card:-
