My friend and I made scrapbooks, cutting out dogs and cats from old cards and newspapers. We knitted with scraps of wool or unpicked jumpers. I learnt to crochet and have made many things. I have now moved on to scrapbooking, card makings atc's altered tins, mini books tag books I have also taken part in three circle journalstea_baghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08117528346330066526noreply@blogger.comBlogger172125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802441679322606677.post-6356518068299440382012-06-08T12:10:00.000-07:002012-06-08T12:10:38.381-07:00Recent knitting for my Greatgrandson<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The idea of this one is promote small blogs, less then 200 follower and pass it to 5 other small blogs.<br />
<br />
The rules are:<br />
<br />
1. link the award back to person who gave it to you<br />
2. Pass in to 5 small blogers<br />
3. leave comments on their blogs<br />
4. Liebster in German means dearest<br />
<br />
Now who to give it to<br />
<br />
1.Gwyneth http://gwynethroper.blogspot.co.uk/ who has a fab blog I wish she blooed more<br />
2.Carole who has a fab blog http://carolescraftycorner.blogspot.co.uk/<br />

and another one I have not taken a photo of yet. One of the things I really want to be able to do is applique. I really love all the wonderful cushions that are about. We had a ride out to a sewing shop to get some material and advice for one of my birthday surprises the lady there was really helpful and told me how to set up my machine .<br />
<br />
So today I have had a little play. I used some material I have had for a while. Firstly I die cut a heart out with my big shot, then I also used a new tea towel to sew the heart onto, (from the pound shop) I then wanted to make it into a cushion cover so I used more of the material I had lying around and did some embroidery stitches with the machine on it and made a stripe to bring the back in to match the front anyway here are the results of my playing a new cushion which I am very pleased with <br />

It was decided by Sue-Bubbles that birthday seasons were a good idear rather than a day, it gives people who maybe a little late a chance to catch up and also give the person with the birthday longer to enjoy it, what a good idear. My birthday is clebrated from 20th january till 20th february each year lol. I was lucky enought to have a visit from my school friend who lives in London but came down to see me for my birthday bearing a wonderful gift and card It was wonderful to see you Lynn and oh how we nattered and giggled those years away. Thank you to all my friends and family photos will follow.

I won the card competition at Happy StampersThe theme we were given was photography, the card base had to be 6" x 6" using colour inks from sepia to latte We were being judged on stamping so the main images had to be stamped. I spent all day doing two cards to enter you are allowed to enter two. I used Tim Holtz artisty collection stamps <br />

I did get rather badly banged in my back which was very painful at one stage (due to existing medical issues) and ended up sat with the first aid group having a drink and recovering (thank you to the nice lady who looked after me) <br />

Happy stampers is always a wonderful show to go it it held in the Wirrel at a place called Port Sunlight, which was built for the workers of the soap factory. The houses now are all privately owned The garden surrounding port sunlight are delightful at any time of year but look there best in spring and summer when they are full of tulip bulbs in spring, and roses in summer. There is also a wonder garden center and museum and art gallery in the area.tea_baghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08117528346330066526noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802441679322606677.post-71682863909305500972011-09-16T05:05:00.000-07:002011-09-16T05:05:52.471-07:00Fallen LeavesWhen reading my copy of craft stamper I came across a design by Jean Franks Beck using fallen leaves, I loved it so much I wanted to have a go. My grandson picked up some leaves for me and I was good to go I did not have any tissue paper which was what Jean had used so I used Toilet paper which worked quite well <br />

<br />
While added them to the boxes I realised I had not used a great many of y stamps, my friend was just the same so our challenge to each other is to use every one of our rubber stamps at least once, they can be used on cards, LO's, ATC's. alter art, bookmarks, tags the list is as endless as your imagination We are also going to use all our other stamps in the same way I am on box one and will add some of my creations for you to see shortly I am making a list of the ones I have used and what I have made with them as I go along <br />

I first of all cover the card with white paper I used inserts out of 12x12 album<br />

<br />
<br />
I then continued to ink up by useing ink dusters and distressed ink in shades of green, purple and pink<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0oEpLQPdwCUW9u7NuxgQD7EMDlXKWivnbnz4Rmz1_Hf_YhAVTSep5HvofT9lOWXXNBYdqrbeMEuk7uq7RWJ5J8tMLAZw_-fmLJHdLncaZ5EB6Fd726xVc_qL6Wkml37Fl4cvEO9dpXs/s1600/004+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0oEpLQPdwCUW9u7NuxgQD7EMDlXKWivnbnz4Rmz1_Hf_YhAVTSep5HvofT9lOWXXNBYdqrbeMEuk7uq7RWJ5J8tMLAZw_-fmLJHdLncaZ5EB6Fd726xVc_qL6Wkml37Fl4cvEO9dpXs/s320/004+%25284%2529.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Then I added two layers of lace to the base of the card. I then stamped the edges with a lavinia cherry blossom stamp, which I later coloured in. I then added a die cut (tim holtz) bird cage and birds, the feathers, a flower I made some beads and the title<br />

I found some music sheets in a bag of goodies I was given by a friend, the music was entitled Sunrise Serenade, it made me think of birds and there morning song, so I decided to make the feathers out of the music sheets, these feather will go on my finished wall hanging <br />

They could be uses in any room you could hang a piece of needlework or anything from them even a nice tea towel in kitchen <br />
