a Bit of Creativity..

 

 I very recently read this book and it made me fall head over heels in love

with teacups & bunting & all things floral.

I see chintz & Laura Ashley everywhere!!!

It is a really lovely story of three women who all want the same tea set at a car boot sale.

They decide to buy it together & share it so that each person in turn can use it.

One needs it for a wedding she is planning, one for her own wedding & the other to turn into candles.

It is a lovely escapist story.

 

Afterwards I just had to buy this Lucy Cromwell paper & Stamps from Papermania.

& made this water-coloured bookmark. Using TH Distress inks.

I have done nothing but read for the past few months,

my only other creative project I have to show is food!

This is a Rhubarb & Apple Crumble.

Happy Birthday, Claire!

 This card was made for my train buddy Claire who has a birthday today.

She has commissioned me to make a lot of cards for her in the past year,

so it was important I made her an extra pretty one for herself.

Paper - Websters Pages

Stamps - Elusive Images - Paris

Dies - Tim Holtz

This next card is also for Claire, as sadly she is no longer going to be my train buddy :(

She has transfered jobs to another branch in her company.

Naturally I wish her success & lots of happiness but she will be missed.

Due to a landslide there are no trains running towards Doncaster from Scunthorpe,

so she will have to take a bus, but once they are running we will be able to

wave to each other across the platforms each morning.

 Materials - Papermania All Aboard Collection.

I based this card on a travel theme because she is going on a journey of sorts, a new direction in her career

& a new journey to work each day.

This last card was made for an ex forum friend, Jo. I say ex because she has not dropped by in a long time.

The bee stamp was designed by her for Stampotique.

Embossing - Secret Garden

Paper - Co'Ordinates Whitewash.
