Pink ribbon card

Hi everyone, I hope you are well today. We had another 2" of snow again overnight  but it's rapidly melting in the sun thank heavens. Today I have another 'Less is More' card to show you. It's a sketch this week and the details are.........

Sketch #8

"This week we have a sketch for you drawn by Jen.

It's simplicity itself, so to add a little constraint, we ask that the card

 stays in this orientation ie that the band remains in the horizontal

 plane, in the lower part of the card and that it takes up no

 more than 1/3rd of the height of the cardbase."

Luckily I soon had a cunning  plan , I had seen an idea on another blog

HERE and although I didn't use the 'padding' method she used I did

get the idea from there so giving due credit. I hope the card is the right

dimention re... ( 1/3 rd of the height etc.), if not I will try again. We have

our lovely grandson arriving very soon so I am off to make some  mini 

doughnuts in a machine I bought recently. Not for Charlie of course

( too young I think) but for his parents. I want to try the machine

 out so I can throw away packaging if I see it works etc.Well

 at least they aren't fried!!! We lost 4lbs this week on our 3 day diet again,

yaaaahhhh......won't  be eating too many doughnuts then I guess lol.

ps. I tried putting my Cuttlebug plates in the oven to straighten them.

170C for 30 mins wrapped in a single layer of foil. It did work ....

BUT I didn't wrap then securely enough at the edge with foil and they

sort of buckled at that edge.Drat!...never mind I do have a spare

 set and also my Happy Cuts now too.Stay warm and safe everyone.

'Less is More' #8 Sketch

'Celeste' Silk Ribbon necklace and earrings

Hi everyone, we had more snow again last night, so another  3" or so on top of the last 3". It feels cold but not as windy as  yesterday , really freezing wind which froze you to the spot.It seems to be thawing too which is good, we managed a quick  walk again....but walked very quickly lol ! Right something different for a change today, more jewellery. I haven't made any for what seems like forever now. But......inspiration struck yesterday and I have been making new stuff non-stop all day  yesterday and today.  I decided to go upmarket & get some  beautiful real silk chiffon  ribbons ( handmade & hand dyed ) and  also some handmade Lampwork beads  too.So many talented  artists making them, I hope I have put together some nice  jewellery ideas using them. I have used some Swarovski  stones and charms etc.here,.... Lampwork beads in later pieces.  Anyway enough rambling, here  is my very first effort. Hope  you like them all as much as I do.My first piece is called 'Celeste'. ps. I big welcome to my latest follower too, welcome aboard :)  

 

 

 

Friends card

Good afternoon everyone, we still have snow, more expected  on Sunday too. I hope you are all keeping snug and warm in your craft rooms today. It's week 103 over at 'Less is More' and it's a theme this week and........ FRIENDS "This could take the form of a friend related sentiment...  activities which friends share, images of friends-    animal  or human or both!" I chose these two TeddyBoBea cute bears. I have used them  before, but this time I only used the middle image of the three by covering up the other two digitally. I dedicate this card to all my lovely blogging friends, you are the BEST and I love you all :) ps. I am trying out various new watermarks I made recently to see which I like.....so if you see lots of them that's why.Also for  anyone who missed seeing the triframe I made for my grandson's first birthday it's a couple of posts back..........and relax !
