Special Wedding Card

Hi Everyone.  Hope you are all enjoying some sunshine.  Here is a card I made yesterday for our lovely neighbours,  who get married on Saturday.  To be honest with you, I nearly bought a card and then had second thoughts, the prices for a decent card are ridiculous.  So I went home and duly got out some card and vellum and started my card.  It started out as a very simple card,  but I thought it looked to white and made these vellum Clematis flowers and leaves and it just gave it the lift it needed.  I always make my own flowers , but recently I lost my urge to make anything. However, I so enjoyed my day in the craft room yesterday, that I intend to make another card in the afternoon.  Sending my Best Wishes to everyone.  Hugs Rita xxxx

Christmas Club Challenge 15 Jingle Bells

Hello Everyone.  Yes, I'm still here though not making many cards.  But I like to try and do my card for the CCC challenges and this fortnight it is our very own Margaret who chose this one.  She would like to see Jingle Bells and I'm sure most of us will manage this theme ok.
My base card is 6X6 and I used a piece of red card and added a piece of embossed white card along with a piece of ribbon.  I used my Tattered Lace  Bells dies for this one and cut them out of silver mirri card.  Again I used a sentiment die and added it to a piece of red card that I fussy cut around and added it to the white snowflake embossed card.  Finished off with a red satin bow and added some glitter to the bells.  Looking forward to seeing the other members cars and hopefully find some motivation.  Look after yourselves and I'll see you soon.
BP still not stabilized but it is coming down, albeit slowly. .  Hugs Rita xxxxx

CCC Challenge 14 A Xmas Scene/ Snow Scene

Hello Again Folks.  Here we are half way to Christmas and your box must be filling up by now.  Sorry I had to miss the last one as my Vertigo was really bad and my blood pressure is still far to high, so I've been told to take it easy and go back to the Doctors in 2 weeks time, so hopefully it works as its a hospital referral if its still high.
 Our lovely Shaz has chosen the Challenge this time and she would like to see Christmas or Snow themed cards.   So I thought I;d do a pyrimage  card that I haven't done for years . Loved the scene and the card , but not so happy with the tiny snowballs I finished with Crystal glitter..  A snowy ribbon and my card was done.  No stress at all.   Thank You All for the lovely Birthday Wishes, Cards, Flowers and Gifts  I received from friends and family.  I really did enjoy a Wonderful Day. Will post pictures later in the week.   See You Soon.  Hugs Rita xxx

50th Birthday Card

Hello Everyone,  Hope you are All Well and not like me , been hibernating. Not been so good the last month or two with different things going on in my life. I hate complaining ,so we will not go there and hopefully I can begin to pick up the pieces again.  This was the Card, Bag and Box I made for my youngest daughters 50th Birthday on 20th June.  Made mostly with dies and hand made flowers from Heartfelt Creations Dies. The bag was coffee coloured card that I had in my stash, the beautiful ribbon was from Ribbon Girl and the box contained a little wooden Buddha  as part of her gift along with Donegal Tweed Aran Wrap that was 63 inches long and 24 inches wide and took 22 ball of wool. The the scarf pin was made from beech and complimented the colours in the wrap.  Hoping to have some time to craft this afternoon.  Lots of Hugs and Speak to you All soon again.   Hugs Rita xxxx
