Hope you are enjoying your day.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Just a quick post to share a couple of very simple and easy cards. These two cards were made when I found some scrap bits of dp among the multitude of left overs on my desk. I had been making some notebooks (which I have already shared <a href="https://margyspapergames.blogspot.com/2021/01/notebook-covers.html">HERE</a>) and was actually tidying up a bit (I know .. shock, horror!! LOL!) when I found these little scraps and thought they could be used to make some pretty cards.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> I looked a little further around my desk and found some left over bits
of ephemera as well. So, I simply layered them together, added a touch
of lace and .. voila! .. my cards were done.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy138lzlsevFcILwLg1BUBOX4Lg3BKWj7d4ZdzHReMTppbrRBS9j1tMzs5pOxUggaHcj3ng7-Z4uldnWD-uW4sGmshGzKIlUKqxssIfeiACwSTEoQ5zcbQkgJJgmdblKDzosCYUDhk4wGV/s2048/DSCF5845.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1986" data-original-width="2048" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy138lzlsevFcILwLg1BUBOX4Lg3BKWj7d4ZdzHReMTppbrRBS9j1tMzs5pOxUggaHcj3ng7-Z4uldnWD-uW4sGmshGzKIlUKqxssIfeiACwSTEoQ5zcbQkgJJgmdblKDzosCYUDhk4wGV/w640-h620/DSCF5845.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div></div><div><div><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8uRrUv0gHXvqwtTex4NO10E7Df5aPCh73Yl__fMClue9Bhl_KCy5Q4uk3PeghKREASdk2oMWqtduOkYpcRwhpHZiPfVFzoGpWLxNSChz1zERpRaWWSPzwjdlgRjMfP4a576at8N3hrBrz/s2048/DSCF5846.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1833" data-original-width="2048" height="572" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8uRrUv0gHXvqwtTex4NO10E7Df5aPCh73Yl__fMClue9Bhl_KCy5Q4uk3PeghKREASdk2oMWqtduOkYpcRwhpHZiPfVFzoGpWLxNSChz1zERpRaWWSPzwjdlgRjMfP4a576at8N3hrBrz/w640-h572/DSCF5846.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiehoW1Sx-B9MKxgeZzdCnM9lh9WUzJF1gbc2_vUeuF4ROCYEif8GNbklKs2NeNF_xjyelIaDQXhojtaIjwea1S9c8Z5oDjzN0Wfed1jrAKLO6UanL1YzQ9B24TH7vrVcou0hUM4vGaIUxC/s2048/DSCF5848.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="2048" height="572" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiehoW1Sx-B9MKxgeZzdCnM9lh9WUzJF1gbc2_vUeuF4ROCYEif8GNbklKs2NeNF_xjyelIaDQXhojtaIjwea1S9c8Z5oDjzN0Wfed1jrAKLO6UanL1YzQ9B24TH7vrVcou0hUM4vGaIUxC/w640-h572/DSCF5848.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="margin-left: 80px; text-align: center;">Simple and quick to make, and yet, quite pretty!<br /></div><div style="margin-left: 80px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-left: 80px; text-align: center;">Thank you so much for stopping by. </div><div style="margin-left: 80px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-left: 80px; text-align: center;">Have a wonderful day!</div><div style="margin-left: 80px; text-align: center;">Take care, stay safe and God Bless.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ZwGDBLH6Mi6ROdoXTvQ7mDViq9sE-dNz1FOZMWt8XbvbOlP7UGNAcRy7_NmchKnT0HQA4K0C5ILBXJMBjJILySWL5AX2rTyjw0mJMppUfb21eoBbxtiI0E0K-W03ce7TPDHuBCdxUHPg/s600/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="154" data-original-width="600" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ZwGDBLH6Mi6ROdoXTvQ7mDViq9sE-dNz1FOZMWt8XbvbOlP7UGNAcRy7_NmchKnT0HQA4K0C5ILBXJMBjJILySWL5AX2rTyjw0mJMppUfb21eoBbxtiI0E0K-W03ce7TPDHuBCdxUHPg/w400-h103/01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"></p></div></div>Margaret Mifsudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06807555779599228830noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879425411254750018.post-76033722211238549022021-03-16T13:30:00.000+10:302021-03-16T13:30:21.313+10:30A new Pencil Box<p style="text-align: center;"> Hello and welcome everyone. A special welcome to my new followers. So happy to have you join us.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Quite a while ago .. over a year ago now .. I was into colouring books. I really enjoyed sitting in front of the telly watching whatever and colouring in. I found it very relaxing. Well, for some reason or other I stopped doing it until just recently when I saw a few posts by <a href="https://iluvcatsandscraps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lisa Landry</a> about her colouring journey. It got me interested again, so I bought a few books and went looking for my pencils. Well, do you think I could find them? I had so many you'd never think they would get lost .. but they did. So, off to the shop and bought some more .. and then some more .. and then .. you get the picture. Anyhow, my pencils were overflowing my pencil tin so I decided to create myself a pencil box. </p><p style="text-align: center;">The inspiration for this box came from JenofEve's Keepsake box. I only have the small and medium sized templates and so had to adjust them to the size I wanted. I also had to adjust the size of the digital papers I used to cover it. The papers I used are from JenofEve's 'Shades of Colour' Collection and Antique Paperie's 'Rue Garden' and 'Simple' Collections.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The box measure 8" x 11" and is 1.5" deep. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2B4ijq6IVsoxsvyAc6qUnFyjEhp4R0WI2_Sy5oZiPMjCiZOO-u5VPr08nWhM-Pp_FaGRnuq-GJ5WpKcsyeGxPTuvDM4VOYfE56yWpipa-UpPxZgz9DhyphenhyphentJ6Cx3Rj9JD2770JXngMuB_HM/s2535/DSCF5919.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1240" data-original-width="2535" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2B4ijq6IVsoxsvyAc6qUnFyjEhp4R0WI2_Sy5oZiPMjCiZOO-u5VPr08nWhM-Pp_FaGRnuq-GJ5WpKcsyeGxPTuvDM4VOYfE56yWpipa-UpPxZgz9DhyphenhyphentJ6Cx3Rj9JD2770JXngMuB_HM/w640-h314/DSCF5919.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I created 6 removable trays for my pencils. Thought it would be easier to find the colour I was looking for if I could put diffferent shades of the same colour in each one and they are removable so it would be easy to get the pencils out. The inside of the box is lined with the Shades of Colour papers by Jen Harrison of JenofEve Designs.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3NIp1tgJPAcqtDTL9gYfA0nKFS4SnFpoTQrGkYc-d9-Bl5LQem_EB9895jO2qLhHSaRk7PGhQpgbxEt8JCJakZDwcv8jMk0feIHaMHnHXUTgpHWJeLJgCXKS6vV3zTzj44BafrITIaUaC/s2048/DSCF5922.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2009" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3NIp1tgJPAcqtDTL9gYfA0nKFS4SnFpoTQrGkYc-d9-Bl5LQem_EB9895jO2qLhHSaRk7PGhQpgbxEt8JCJakZDwcv8jMk0feIHaMHnHXUTgpHWJeLJgCXKS6vV3zTzj44BafrITIaUaC/w628-h640/DSCF5922.JPG" width="628" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEYHK3MAiLWQwp2gc2u2oXpvJESIn0LxNQAh3XFmkJJ7GBv5gYFbp1YHf2Dl67PfnKRk0bdUhCtntK0amkFj5DuChrTe6BqsqwQ7RE9iRK3nmdwA0rcmr1T0NY0rHWQsCkJywr23ZLIKh8/s2048/DSCF5924.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1205" data-original-width="2048" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEYHK3MAiLWQwp2gc2u2oXpvJESIn0LxNQAh3XFmkJJ7GBv5gYFbp1YHf2Dl67PfnKRk0bdUhCtntK0amkFj5DuChrTe6BqsqwQ7RE9iRK3nmdwA0rcmr1T0NY0rHWQsCkJywr23ZLIKh8/w640-h376/DSCF5924.JPG" width="640" /></a></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"> Each little tray is covered with the 'Simple' papers by Sherri Mitchell and the inside is lined with tea stained papers.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTEJ_les675LWkGr9ON9YbrPQYOXcn4rz92Ul8FPvFixsgGectzmaUSLKEpY9C8XWvDNmGiJ4bCfSgJEcTBT004veLKoilzKz97VcqlRTS1TQYPaEeJjbO5700iVkmP_YA_og09y3zC93D/s2048/DSCF5923.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1441" data-original-width="2048" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTEJ_les675LWkGr9ON9YbrPQYOXcn4rz92Ul8FPvFixsgGectzmaUSLKEpY9C8XWvDNmGiJ4bCfSgJEcTBT004veLKoilzKz97VcqlRTS1TQYPaEeJjbO5700iVkmP_YA_og09y3zC93D/w640-h450/DSCF5923.JPG" width="640" /> </a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A view of the side of the box .. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFcz345r9WdjFxZviAwMinVq4REXangzCfDNJ3ggfxh9QespI2_Xs0jYQo416yFjy1NwLKynXSsM4NKJT-mEcKCbOkn3iwWWHxtO55i-_E82bgcXmK-e1qGxuJDbJkNhH5o9QyuoVNgwrA/s2048/DSCF5928.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="2048" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFcz345r9WdjFxZviAwMinVq4REXangzCfDNJ3ggfxh9QespI2_Xs0jYQo416yFjy1NwLKynXSsM4NKJT-mEcKCbOkn3iwWWHxtO55i-_E82bgcXmK-e1qGxuJDbJkNhH5o9QyuoVNgwrA/w640-h416/DSCF5928.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> .. and the bottom.

I started writing this last year and thought it was about time that I got it finished! LOL!! </p><p style="text-align: center;">So, here I am to share a couple of notebook covers I created as Christmas presents. These were a last minute idea and I used them as stocking fillers.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> The papers I used are all digitals by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/VectoriaDesigns">Vectoria Designs</a> on Etsy. The dragon papers are from the Dragon Journal Kit and the floral papers are from the Vintage Flowers Journal Kit. I was going to post these books separately but, as they are very much the same, I decided to show them together instead so you will find the Dragon book on the left side and the Florals book on the right. Simply click on the picture to get a larger view. Having said that, I won't be doing my posts this way again. With the new Blogger set-up, it was a total pain to edit. Had to keep jumping back and forth from draft to preview just to get it looking right. It was a nightmare. If anyone knows of an easy way to do it like this, please share. I did not enjoy the experience.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfElMUw2X0RXJFOVexsk-Y1m4n8ivyhRkkJ2zpGhBllfFXMJ9YmWg3Dif-6m1gQhm-x3ux_4vGe_Bp4APstr8JwVz-Ot-KnrrCmLTZtakLEklHPQA21KnYW0gy6p5QOe1sFpCKzUfmgViQ/s2048/DSCF5732.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfElMUw2X0RXJFOVexsk-Y1m4n8ivyhRkkJ2zpGhBllfFXMJ9YmWg3Dif-6m1gQhm-x3ux_4vGe_Bp4APstr8JwVz-Ot-KnrrCmLTZtakLEklHPQA21KnYW0gy6p5QOe1sFpCKzUfmgViQ/w373-h400/DSCF5732.JPG" width="373" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> The design is also by Vectoria Designs.

My plans for making regular ones certainly went out the window. Never mind, I will just keep plugging on! LOL!!<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I have been busy making Christmas cards. Wasn't actually going to do any this year but, it just didn't feel right. I didn't make as many as I usually do but I did make quite a few. Won't show them all as they are very similar but I'll just give you a bit of an idea of what I made.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The background papers are by Kaisercraft but the primary papers are from a digital kit by Antique Paperie on Etsy. It's called Winter in Victoria. There are some gorgeous images on these papers, I really love them and will certainly be using them again. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi59GZUFPO-MvkFmdkhZrxjD3oYpUT2bwd0pARn1YEHVNvceuC1_Y-v6jzgx_hXjHuBXyS3fpeqnmyTqQRe9_4-aGagjeolhiFkBgA0O7U1sgJQSR4dno7vA5GFOr99YyDiKL1JgXype3dh/s2048/DSCF5703.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1962" data-original-width="2048" height="614" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi59GZUFPO-MvkFmdkhZrxjD3oYpUT2bwd0pARn1YEHVNvceuC1_Y-v6jzgx_hXjHuBXyS3fpeqnmyTqQRe9_4-aGagjeolhiFkBgA0O7U1sgJQSR4dno7vA5GFOr99YyDiKL1JgXype3dh/w640-h614/DSCF5703.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The background papers were left plain but I edged the others with rose gold foil.

A very warm welcome to you.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Back again with another quick post to share some more of the cards that have been sitting patiently waiting to be shown. I had planned to do at least one of these each week but, once again, am lagging a bit behind. Will just have to keep trying!</p><p style="text-align: center;">As the title pointed out, I'm sharing an Anniversary card this time. Still have a lot of those manly cards waiting but, for a bit of relief from those, I'm sharing this card instead.</p><p style="text-align: center;">A few close-ups first.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Papers by Kaisercraft .. again. Their 6.5 x 6.5 pads are the perfect size for card making. I love them .. and they are really pretty as well. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMKgiOe-ITu9airfjr11iY7VQlCqOf8Sbn7PP2f2COmsNei4U-hb0moVjJ63dAz1d1kCqNqcd27vp652MDQs6PuwlrUfUDEIGcEtpvBtYli8nt_gyFgjRupdu93bsKyMcP9PI9yeM4pyV_/s2048/DSCF5691.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1947" data-original-width="2048" height="608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMKgiOe-ITu9airfjr11iY7VQlCqOf8Sbn7PP2f2COmsNei4U-hb0moVjJ63dAz1d1kCqNqcd27vp652MDQs6PuwlrUfUDEIGcEtpvBtYli8nt_gyFgjRupdu93bsKyMcP9PI9yeM4pyV_/w640-h608/DSCF5691.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>This was made for my oldest son and his dear wife. They celebrated their 27th Anniversary a little while ago. Cut the first wildflower from the dp itself and then cut another from a contrasting piece of cardstock. Layered the contrasting flower into the gap in the papers and then placed the original on top.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9pF_2v35N7p5fK642PFWqZb_tUEDnAugWar1InZh8sl54v1RiPL3a8_gvROq43jb4GjHwyw1GjFFs4t_rXjoWDTKKvTi97SSvhY7UsRdslJM3mE_IhWJQscp2BfHLkb6OXdpNe8OjbGvF/s2048/DSCF5692.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1721" data-original-width="2048" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9pF_2v35N7p5fK642PFWqZb_tUEDnAugWar1InZh8sl54v1RiPL3a8_gvROq43jb4GjHwyw1GjFFs4t_rXjoWDTKKvTi97SSvhY7UsRdslJM3mE_IhWJQscp2BfHLkb6OXdpNe8OjbGvF/w640-h538/DSCF5692.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>I added the white branches for another bit of contrast.

Normally, I would have shared a Crafty Cardmaker project with you last
Monday but, as the Theme is Halloween. which is really not my thing, I
hadn't created anything for it. Sadly, it is the last Challenge
for CCM. Due to ill health, the owner Lin, has decided to close it
down. There was an oportunity for someone else to take over but it was
not to be. So, the Halloween Challenge will be the last. I have so
enjoyed being part of this fabulous Team and I will miss it immensely.
My best wishes to Lin and all of the ladies on the DT.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Thank you so much for stopping by and do enjoy the rest of your day.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Take care, stay safe and God Bless.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4XE0zhtODH65yLc6Ke-t1bjJp_xe16pg_W4TZuEGdSD-Ik0CMEWWu-7Jh9RIwfP5dbUCWx0NBCSH6iJnFmJaSNB2qMAIquQ-JZGo4gCgv_os4RkgJn9sGYsEwE0AqIfL_C-Qxpe9lPjEZ/s600/01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="154" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4XE0zhtODH65yLc6Ke-t1bjJp_xe16pg_W4TZuEGdSD-Ik0CMEWWu-7Jh9RIwfP5dbUCWx0NBCSH6iJnFmJaSNB2qMAIquQ-JZGo4gCgv_os4RkgJn9sGYsEwE0AqIfL_C-Qxpe9lPjEZ/s320/01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p></div></div>Margaret Mifsudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06807555779599228830noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879425411254750018.post-82606651763232243012020-10-12T22:20:00.002+10:302020-10-12T22:20:26.540+10:30Crafty Cardmakers Challenge # 265 - Create a Tag<div><div><div><div><div><div><p style="text-align: center;"> Hello dear friends and welcome.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;">Here we are again with a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. <a href="https://uroocreations.blogspot.com.au/">Monika</a> is our host this time and the Theme is to Create a tag.</p><p style="text-align: center;">You can still create whatever you like, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece, anything at all, as long as it includes a tag. Or, you can simply create a tag on its own as I have done here.</p><p style="text-align: center;">My little tag was made at the last minute. I knew this Challenge was coming up of course but, somehow, the time just flew by and it was upon us before I really noticed. So, I had to quickly find something to make and this is the result.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaN-aEFNYncn63owCtvb8xMK0wH_OcZB8i63s2_5CJab_7rpl-n3yenT_N3izNy1ovilf1_ayMtSWFyK9ms5MY-EFREPe1stcwxUEx_OsCKKuz2rpDAjRj9oHmBa-7jpqjxWKG9OtyKIZh/s2048/DSCF5662.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1911" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaN-aEFNYncn63owCtvb8xMK0wH_OcZB8i63s2_5CJab_7rpl-n3yenT_N3izNy1ovilf1_ayMtSWFyK9ms5MY-EFREPe1stcwxUEx_OsCKKuz2rpDAjRj9oHmBa-7jpqjxWKG9OtyKIZh/w598-h640/DSCF5662.JPG" width="598" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">I found the blue tag in my stash. I have a basket on my workbench where I drop any ephemera left over from other projects and that is where I found this. There was also a small paper doily left on my desk and that started me off with the decorating.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhG-z-d01K_Uj8cKNEtMASf6uMx7qLb8qWkFWiL_hAJS2IOWWFDW0ZMziCkq157KrZdNrCdchGd977h2XsFjTQCngT9G-wHzwNmgd2gm_CeClf7u9fY9Q7uDWrR5qcC8_49B1P6oCu1Iq/s2048/DSCF5663.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1624" data-original-width="2048" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhG-z-d01K_Uj8cKNEtMASf6uMx7qLb8qWkFWiL_hAJS2IOWWFDW0ZMziCkq157KrZdNrCdchGd977h2XsFjTQCngT9G-wHzwNmgd2gm_CeClf7u9fY9Q7uDWrR5qcC8_49B1P6oCu1Iq/w640-h508/DSCF5663.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">The piece of book paper came next and, once I had glued these down, I decided it needed some texture. Should have done that first up. Not easy adding texture paste through a stencil without getting it all over the doily and book paper. I did manage though, and then decided it needed stamping! Well, that mostly did go over the doily, etc. but, luckily, I was still happy with it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDjmGLF-KIOaFhspIUfKUpIrLXLXijrnfX5rR36ID0C1qSpB_baiViw9ygfeeyGB4zcMKcIk7i2iJZBl3rQ4LA4sxOdLDGWiNyR47c8kumvIAKCqvc81NJ76jylmaqL_tPKEFSnpUC77Zz/s2048/DSCF5664.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1556" data-original-width="2048" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDjmGLF-KIOaFhspIUfKUpIrLXLXijrnfX5rR36ID0C1qSpB_baiViw9ygfeeyGB4zcMKcIk7i2iJZBl3rQ4LA4sxOdLDGWiNyR47c8kumvIAKCqvc81NJ76jylmaqL_tPKEFSnpUC77Zz/w640-h486/DSCF5664.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">The tag was a bit flimsy so I mounted it onto a piece of kraft card and then it was time for some embellishment.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgps1t3dKpEsksew-7Zgvs8ku3s9aEGaCWDlbqJs72QWb43qnLlOXkFGMQOs7URinvAnmFRGsunmbv7qHnLtTuIdLD_fDhZ-nJAzP6qQuQeBtCoS5JXMjdMG7OCHxZRAletQTLUyi8DT2EH/s2048/DSCF5665.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1609" data-original-width="2048" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgps1t3dKpEsksew-7Zgvs8ku3s9aEGaCWDlbqJs72QWb43qnLlOXkFGMQOs7URinvAnmFRGsunmbv7qHnLtTuIdLD_fDhZ-nJAzP6qQuQeBtCoS5JXMjdMG7OCHxZRAletQTLUyi8DT2EH/w640-h502/DSCF5665.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Found the stamens on my desk too.

Same, Yet Different<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;"> Hello everyone! Welcome, and thank you for stopping by.</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;">Following on from my <a href="https://margyspapergames.blogspot.com/2020/09/man-cards.html">Pair of Guy Cards</a> post, I thought I would share some girly cards I created in a similar style. This time, it's a trio, and I have used the Wildflower dies by Tim Holtz.</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;">As I said in that previous post, I'm getting a bit lazy with my crafting and it's getting quite difficult to come up with a new design each time I create a card so, now, I tend to make them in pretty much the same way. At the moment I am liking my cards to be tall, about 6.5 to 7 inches tall, and I like adding my embellies on the left hand side and to be fairly simple. To make the cards look, at least, a little different I simply use different colours, different papers and, slightly different embellishments. </p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;">The design papers are by Kaisercraft.<br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ELYkPsUSpxu3cJxpQ4wh_vIbFiVF17hbkA0jKDeci1ZWcOYkgLfmKKBwDBIx0qCrECcqpLGdk40AsmGomfrthjkFoy61FYX3G-4JHR0PYfv96ecLMhKSMEQ_sTIetAKQs1kGJBRipZTt/s2048/DSCF5623.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1749" data-original-width="2048" height="546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ELYkPsUSpxu3cJxpQ4wh_vIbFiVF17hbkA0jKDeci1ZWcOYkgLfmKKBwDBIx0qCrECcqpLGdk40AsmGomfrthjkFoy61FYX3G-4JHR0PYfv96ecLMhKSMEQ_sTIetAKQs1kGJBRipZTt/w640-h546/DSCF5623.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Added a couple of strips of washi tape on the left side and the flowers were cut from white cardstock.

Welcome to my blog.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The Theme for the new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers is Shabby Chic and our Host is the lovely <a href="http://angelacuttingandcarving.blogspot.com.au/">Angela</a>!</p><p style="text-align: center;">As is always the case, you may create whatever you wish as long as it fits the Theme.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">When I think of shabby chic, aged furniture or furnishings come to mind. White washed furniture that looks a bit scuffed and distressed, or furnishings that are well washed or slightly worn and torn. A soft, feminine style with lots of white and a few contrasting pastel colours. So this is how I styled my card.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The papers, by Kaisercraft, have been torn and distressed and, for a little extra shabbyness, I added a little stamping as well.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Hope your day is going well.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Just a quick post to share a few more of my 'man' cards. Have quite a few stacked up waiting to be posted and felt it was time I got my finger out and got it done.</p><p style="text-align: center;">There have been quite a few special Birthdays amongst our family and friends this year but, because of the restrictions, we have not been able to join in with the celebrations. Never the less, I have still made cards for them to let them know we were there in spirit at least. </p><p style="text-align: center;">The two cards I am showing today are very similar. I'm afraid I'm, getting a bit lazy with my crafting. I do still enjoy it but am not quite as enthusiastic about having to come up with something new each time. Consequently, when I make them now I tend to make a few of the same or, at least, similar design which works well when the people you give them to don't know each other and can't compare. LOL!<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The paper used for the background on both cards is by Kaisercraft and they were, obviously, both made for an 80th Birthday. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDMFpEc3EJ4RaPso7dgQPcOKZRpc3qDYVWfG_hOnnTSAUXvSj70llAfkOmPk4mcW6B2h7QR_j62xf6P1uPtm7YIbrDSHst90oyoLTrGNNc-gYK0NvABZeRUZ53QQ9afhPNW58lrvJr-usw/s2048/DSCF5451.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1691" data-original-width="2048" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDMFpEc3EJ4RaPso7dgQPcOKZRpc3qDYVWfG_hOnnTSAUXvSj70llAfkOmPk4mcW6B2h7QR_j62xf6P1uPtm7YIbrDSHst90oyoLTrGNNc-gYK0NvABZeRUZ53QQ9afhPNW58lrvJr-usw/w640-h528/DSCF5451.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Added a strip of washi tape and the waste left when punching out some circles and made a small collage with a free printable gauge and a left over piece of harlequin chipboard.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4pcMw_RAt2Gw0zF91DUjU4uX4EkCIm_72T1eJI5xFVXrESPmA9q16oBorwVdLZUyPOwDbmTcj7zFbdscHnGwe40TNCWsvr6A8Zxx2Nwc9lHd27ljDFk4FubdkiN_CzhrDhCz2GrjvE04e/s1998/DSCF5454.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1943" data-original-width="1998" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4pcMw_RAt2Gw0zF91DUjU4uX4EkCIm_72T1eJI5xFVXrESPmA9q16oBorwVdLZUyPOwDbmTcj7zFbdscHnGwe40TNCWsvr6A8Zxx2Nwc9lHd27ljDFk4FubdkiN_CzhrDhCz2GrjvE04e/w640-h622/DSCF5454.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ueIXz3-41m8A2hORf-lQHS_SJpmmNPgbW1_biWvWhUYyr-f-6nMnJrZ-8MUvGgV4sQasXHP1GBwVBEdSy9SYoSS0R3QHO3YdGWDcO3nEzvOUkCVi02UctVndAL7nRtYUSIJv1KJnYDEW/s2048/DSCF5449.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1758" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ueIXz3-41m8A2hORf-lQHS_SJpmmNPgbW1_biWvWhUYyr-f-6nMnJrZ-8MUvGgV4sQasXHP1GBwVBEdSy9SYoSS0R3QHO3YdGWDcO3nEzvOUkCVi02UctVndAL7nRtYUSIJv1KJnYDEW/w550-h640/DSCF5449.JPG" width="550" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">On this next card I used strips of washi tape, book paper, a left-over piece from a die cut .. <br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrn1Kmf6l58UmwLDqR_6462_gVO52Scm2xm8O1aAY4ft0kLbds_rH6fnBaXCScDYUWYg3ej9Mtfx3rgS-XdbwB5D6-582hb5ravwqeImdkHpD3HCf2w9_eKSw583NPf-IcfOzaEVuAyjRS/s2048/DSCF5464.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1892" data-original-width="2048" height="592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrn1Kmf6l58UmwLDqR_6462_gVO52Scm2xm8O1aAY4ft0kLbds_rH6fnBaXCScDYUWYg3ej9Mtfx3rgS-XdbwB5D6-582hb5ravwqeImdkHpD3HCf2w9_eKSw583NPf-IcfOzaEVuAyjRS/w640-h592/DSCF5464.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">.. a free printable clock face and a small wooden cogs..<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqCYlNv5C1bAghWOfMjMNq9A1xPAxaZB5zFq7WWxfCX4hWmt_RwUecMCKgIQyg0U4aIjh0yUiT0nIIdlBw18dHG5PtbgIcmZXyIUekBF1UAkwFH0ngDGDZpK_HzcSgKqP-60is58S0NHJ9/s2048/DSCF5465.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1992" data-original-width="2048" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqCYlNv5C1bAghWOfMjMNq9A1xPAxaZB5zFq7WWxfCX4hWmt_RwUecMCKgIQyg0U4aIjh0yUiT0nIIdlBw18dHG5PtbgIcmZXyIUekBF1UAkwFH0ngDGDZpK_HzcSgKqP-60is58S0NHJ9/w640-h622/DSCF5465.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimm71gEMlu0V82ajtILGDmNIWw9Jur7ps1b5cZ8arPNCSPaMXckLek57Pq4SzEiksIoUqpvKSWQgwQ629Pgwvquoy9p0bAbknqXyifd8LzOAdeEKvMM5EcT-X01ZV0QZoNvo2qsiDMhBry/s2048/DSCF5461.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1668" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimm71gEMlu0V82ajtILGDmNIWw9Jur7ps1b5cZ8arPNCSPaMXckLek57Pq4SzEiksIoUqpvKSWQgwQ629Pgwvquoy9p0bAbknqXyifd8LzOAdeEKvMM5EcT-X01ZV0QZoNvo2qsiDMhBry/w522-h640/DSCF5461.JPG" width="522" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> Easy Peasy, done and dusted.

So pleased you stopped by,</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://insearchofmycreativeside.blogspot.com.au/">Judy</a> is our Host for the new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers, and the Theme is to use a Recycled Element in your project. As always, you may create whatever you wish as long as it follows the Theme. If it is not obvious, please tell us what it is that you have recycled.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;">For my project, I have created an album cover out of a recycled box. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I actually started making this Album cover before I realised that we had a recycling Challenge coming up so, unfortunately, I didn't take any photos right at the very beginning. I had already attached the spine to the front and back covers when it finally dawned on me that I could use this as my DT contribution. Duh!!</p><p style="text-align: center;">As you can see, I used the box from our new electric toothbrush. The covers measure 6" x 6" and the spine is 6" x 1.5".<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5pKnmO021c6qAzojy4a8BcH00stP-HjArVfy-MbzgOckbsJTHniiXf1F4wNVEWgsJQE1_BJoJWo3BVcDbisAox3Stdjci0vaUiTDW-zRfgol8oQW__UQcLKE2IplhD3gGDXSH8qSAoan/s2048/1.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1166" data-original-width="2048" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5pKnmO021c6qAzojy4a8BcH00stP-HjArVfy-MbzgOckbsJTHniiXf1F4wNVEWgsJQE1_BJoJWo3BVcDbisAox3Stdjci0vaUiTDW-zRfgol8oQW__UQcLKE2IplhD3gGDXSH8qSAoan/w640-h364/1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">To attach the spine piece to the covers, I used wet glue and a polyester fabric which is normally used as lining. It is quite thin but also quite strong and works really well for book binding. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix3kAQXyRbxKgqthB8s-xiQY0JKXj1VvFZ2tCA-i9cL6b7uop6LkKgPUi-Err36KtN3C3UBXIR10pxgprdgMxb6cD5XBjlp2KENuVsmYtLvFV69TEeOE5vks6qBgZMuvo2-Yucv1k00qBb/s2048/2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1435" data-original-width="2048" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix3kAQXyRbxKgqthB8s-xiQY0JKXj1VvFZ2tCA-i9cL6b7uop6LkKgPUi-Err36KtN3C3UBXIR10pxgprdgMxb6cD5XBjlp2KENuVsmYtLvFV69TEeOE5vks6qBgZMuvo2-Yucv1k00qBb/w640-h448/2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Once the glue was dry, I attached double sided tape to the side that I wanted as the outside of my book. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaIkoJYG7F-6fUZP3XruYOv8l1GJwO-D-aQxTdja4AdT7RZHs89e5vtTiaUGnrR_NDck5nJ199ZW3JIeDCExI2s9NjU7TnJnvSNoAoEy_qpysqZY8etUB5RwOYyxX9_x7XPyo6G4ACohQQ/s2048/3a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2048" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaIkoJYG7F-6fUZP3XruYOv8l1GJwO-D-aQxTdja4AdT7RZHs89e5vtTiaUGnrR_NDck5nJ199ZW3JIeDCExI2s9NjU7TnJnvSNoAoEy_qpysqZY8etUB5RwOYyxX9_x7XPyo6G4ACohQQ/w640-h500/3a.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXH4PxV1F9lHxoD9QjwIJEkEdFL95Wp0NziJKX2QXlY6cZhaAA5BBMMlw0TQskzrQ2-dDz4z97eAu4Fn-w6810bEFVj1A-VJiRdD0QNkN6J5pGjGsH6n7IM3-So2fweDE9sEVlr3yD5JB/s2048/4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1284" data-original-width="2048" height="402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXH4PxV1F9lHxoD9QjwIJEkEdFL95Wp0NziJKX2QXlY6cZhaAA5BBMMlw0TQskzrQ2-dDz4z97eAu4Fn-w6810bEFVj1A-VJiRdD0QNkN6J5pGjGsH6n7IM3-So2fweDE9sEVlr3yD5JB/w640-h402/4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>I had to glue two sheets of tea stained paper together to make a piece large enough to fit.

As always, you can create whatever takes your fancy as long as your 'Wings' are a prominent part of your creation.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;">My contribution is a simple card made with some textured paper I found in my stash. This paper must be at least 10 years old. I'm pretty sure I purchased it when I first started making cards. I had intended to throw it out but decided I would try to use it instead.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-V5fGeh_aoHHUg5YNtBLfFVfRflRTXBD7jch_gU5Dsk3O2bo59wnHXHgh4rOfJ-vjuTPvaFFuG9UBSB6jl2gMy_I0lpIl98aZLjPGYex0dz6w_d-PzQUhsstsdNSDqVCdbshPSE0m_B2c/s2048/1.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1568" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-V5fGeh_aoHHUg5YNtBLfFVfRflRTXBD7jch_gU5Dsk3O2bo59wnHXHgh4rOfJ-vjuTPvaFFuG9UBSB6jl2gMy_I0lpIl98aZLjPGYex0dz6w_d-PzQUhsstsdNSDqVCdbshPSE0m_B2c/s640/1.JPG" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to add some colour so I got out my Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals and sprayed the paper with water. It soaked it up like a sponge (Yikes!) so, when I sprinkled on the magicals, the colour didn't move very much. Still, I didn't mind the result, so decided to keep going with my card.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0nx28Qcn3NDsokUsKXWQa5sRs5OjZ9PisCe6sf3UIv4ytMs7COZ0Lf0vdgRJvOb9__HF478pgd4rWdjdTb4Ke4AzddriziaHK9FA7SUxtCKhkMTrID0rbQsBxGQsixNApUk7ebX6uyLo/s2048/2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1614" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0nx28Qcn3NDsokUsKXWQa5sRs5OjZ9PisCe6sf3UIv4ytMs7COZ0Lf0vdgRJvOb9__HF478pgd4rWdjdTb4Ke4AzddriziaHK9FA7SUxtCKhkMTrID0rbQsBxGQsixNApUk7ebX6uyLo/s640/2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Once the paper was dry again, I added the script stamping.

I have used this butterfly a few times before as I really love the colour.

Hope you are all well and staying safe. </p><p style="text-align: center;">As promised in my last post, I'm back to share a mini album I created recently. I didn't initially set out to create this for my Granddaughter but, when I did finally finish it, it was getting very close to her 18th Birthday and I thought it would come in handy for her to keep her celebration photos in. So it became part of her present and, I'm glad to say, she loved it.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The papers I've used in this Album are, obviously, not from my Stash. They are from the Darcelle A4 Paper Pad by Prima. The template though, is a Use Your Stash Scrap Journal Design by JenofEve Designs. Jen has a facebook group where she shares some of her amazing designs as freebies. You just need to join the group to get access. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's a little reminder of the cover.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKOLiQNr86ThIC5Y0-ZMkqgE3YGU27Ms8Yk7fh9I4No4V2QinHf7-pt66-aZtn9YebcY2dCCyz8V5m8Cd8yfcrwDhGMzMOOErSVFGUbysbJOUFwisyq36MsulKywcJmJdP3eAYMgElhMRl/s2048/DSCF5482.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2007" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKOLiQNr86ThIC5Y0-ZMkqgE3YGU27Ms8Yk7fh9I4No4V2QinHf7-pt66-aZtn9YebcY2dCCyz8V5m8Cd8yfcrwDhGMzMOOErSVFGUbysbJOUFwisyq36MsulKywcJmJdP3eAYMgElhMRl/s640/DSCF5482.JPG" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;">On the right is the inside front cover which has a pocket with a fussy cut edge and a couple of journaling card inserts.<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmD02XvLp6emqLzV1wcznaBI4Ot4s7Zy3TP2vTVIeNi-9VIv8XnZ9Xr0u_JA_k3eZDkFWlhSjC5hmZsdYpJHbq-2cnHcpfJdkuVAZyaRGXX1RVAKKU62Qeiru6VMVoRqdr4SEPvD9jsbzl/s2048/DSCF5485.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1836" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmD02XvLp6emqLzV1wcznaBI4Ot4s7Zy3TP2vTVIeNi-9VIv8XnZ9Xr0u_JA_k3eZDkFWlhSjC5hmZsdYpJHbq-2cnHcpfJdkuVAZyaRGXX1RVAKKU62Qeiru6VMVoRqdr4SEPvD9jsbzl/s640/DSCF5485.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">There are basically two page sets sewn into this album.

The papers are really gorgeous and I was extremely happy with the design. If you're interested, go check out Jenofeve on facebook or Youtube. She actually has a video where she creates this booklet and talks about different design options. I think she is amazingly talented.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you so much for stopping by to take a peek and I do appreciate your comments.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. So happy to have you visit. A very special welcome to my new followers. Thank you for joining me on my creative journey.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, the CCM Team are back from our break and it's time for a new Challenge. <a href="https://mycraftingcorner-jo.blogspot.com.au/">Jo</a> is our host for this one and the Theme is Lots of Layers. As always, you can enter anything you like, a card, layout, off the page, whatever you wish as long as it follows the Theme.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Over the last few months, I have been busy creating a couple of mini albums and, as the cover of this album has lots of layers, thought it would be perfect as my DT contribution for this Challenge. I usually take my time creating my albums and only work on them in between other projects. This little book was created for my Granddaughter who turned 18 just recently. I am only showing the cover today and will share the book itself later on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The papers used in this book are from the Darcelle A4 paper pad by Prima. I love these papers, they look pretty here but are even better in real life. There's actually 5 layers of paper on this cover, the first of which is the main base mat. It's mostly covered here but is very pretty.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1bXvbvyeg_NAsM4Tda9cNcih2UTxsw0jU_DZIEV45hIQsv0kVbKbg-M5lLE2KLaK7w3MpvZd1Xk4cP7ppmwC-nbNTc9gvF77NTWkd3O5X6-GIpWqu-BdS1_sgZisc0lTo4tdNalSu5W4Q/s2048/DSCF5482.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2007" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1bXvbvyeg_NAsM4Tda9cNcih2UTxsw0jU_DZIEV45hIQsv0kVbKbg-M5lLE2KLaK7w3MpvZd1Xk4cP7ppmwC-nbNTc9gvF77NTWkd3O5X6-GIpWqu-BdS1_sgZisc0lTo4tdNalSu5W4Q/w628-h640/DSCF5482.JPG" width="628" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">You can see some book paper in between the dp and I added a cute little bow made with a new punch I purchased recently.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are all safe and well.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Sister and her Husband celebrated their Anniversary a little while ago and I thought it was time I shared the card I created for them. They live in Victoria which is going through its second Covid19 wave, which is a bit scary. Luckily though, they don't live in the danger zone and are both still safe and well. Just hope and pray they stay that way and that this second wave will dissipate soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The card I'm showing here was created at the same time as the Wedding card I shared with you a little while ago <a href="https://margyspapergames.blogspot.com/2020/06/crafty-cardmakers-challenge-258-weddings.html">HERE</a>. It was also made very much the same. The only differences are the papers and the flower cluster.

Crafty ones of course. Well, mostly crafty ones. One lady I have been watching a lot is Jennifer Harrison of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM4G9gRBSLlD9ShiJXbvClA">JenofEve Designs</a>. She has a lot of videos on different styles of mini albums and items related to them which can also be used in other types of crafting. One of her ideas which appealed to me is the use of work trays. I was already using plastic trays to store some of my stash, but Jennifer used hers to hold the things she was using in the particular project she was working on. I really liked this idea, mainly because I am always losing things amongst the mess on my craft table. I know, I should tidy it up after each project but, unfortunately, that very rarely happens.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, although I haven't used Jen's templates, I decided I would create some work trays of my own. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVYd6q0iXVE1F5PBvToJ4AdRba4hYs45ViVF2abKtGoDsBCdEX6dgcX9-8lpXq6WTL-ZI8cCySjy64AT9pMU0IC5UqOPaND3QrSSJbVZIg6wGogrAU3zK30V544_VTQbx0CfJ5YqEgtv_/s2048/DSCF5513.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1622" data-original-width="2048" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVYd6q0iXVE1F5PBvToJ4AdRba4hYs45ViVF2abKtGoDsBCdEX6dgcX9-8lpXq6WTL-ZI8cCySjy64AT9pMU0IC5UqOPaND3QrSSJbVZIg6wGogrAU3zK30V544_VTQbx0CfJ5YqEgtv_/w625-h494/DSCF5513.JPG" width="625" /></a></div> This was a tray I already had made up. I simply covered and lined it with new papers and edged it with cardstock. The papers are from Kaisercraft's Misty Mountains Collection.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOK3OegHASWptSxaAG_LKw1Tt5ekCYUooDFWpzYnGvDJ-hEOQroisnvODAD1ehur24R7juTe8SduPuBWefSrFVv8058Rcez5aNafI5Bo4uuWKFg2_ngfkxLZ7XIK_2a3bmDwo9s67zP0Tq/s2048/DSCF5514.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1541" data-original-width="2048" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOK3OegHASWptSxaAG_LKw1Tt5ekCYUooDFWpzYnGvDJ-hEOQroisnvODAD1ehur24R7juTe8SduPuBWefSrFVv8058Rcez5aNafI5Bo4uuWKFg2_ngfkxLZ7XIK_2a3bmDwo9s67zP0Tq/w640-h482/DSCF5514.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Found the feet in my stash. I think they were purchased at a Craft Fair a few years ago and never used. They certainly came in handy and I need to find some more. I used Martha Stewart's Doily Lace Edge Punch for the trim.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtA7MemKQnpxZUJGVtCREiwyepaT126f7MwcyZ5Ci3q62QE5YfOxn8NS2CjDlR1rHN5OjzY32n5lW8W8jCTZY8U9WhSGolxE8nH_Np-cjmiEZ4vxga0Gdq1na7BJ1oaXfub3bW5D3nzUIg/s2048/DSCF5515.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1753" data-original-width="2048" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtA7MemKQnpxZUJGVtCREiwyepaT126f7MwcyZ5Ci3q62QE5YfOxn8NS2CjDlR1rHN5OjzY32n5lW8W8jCTZY8U9WhSGolxE8nH_Np-cjmiEZ4vxga0Gdq1na7BJ1oaXfub3bW5D3nzUIg/w640-h548/DSCF5515.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The larger tray was made from a Cereal Box. I simple cut off the front, reinforced the corners and then lined and covered it with papers from the same collection as above. At the moment it's full of journal cards and ephemera I am using for a little album I am making. So handy having them in the one place instead of spread all over my desk.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQkFsaUjTaLPdtFmu64XoKHm9Qbk1lTHE-x_UyV2oruaJWdjDjt3UaD-syWhOdRIOvQwffw21yd7TQDbb4liNc7cZJSKznDsdd8Hj6hiWMKIV8iYl8bIL_bqJeBilcTlZjxXAqAnmLBzXr/s2048/DSCF5516.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1569" data-original-width="2048" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQkFsaUjTaLPdtFmu64XoKHm9Qbk1lTHE-x_UyV2oruaJWdjDjt3UaD-syWhOdRIOvQwffw21yd7TQDbb4liNc7cZJSKznDsdd8Hj6hiWMKIV8iYl8bIL_bqJeBilcTlZjxXAqAnmLBzXr/w640-h490/DSCF5516.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pretty sure the feet on this one are by Tim Holtz. I actually rescued them from another box which was heading for the bin. The trim was punched out with Martha Stewart's Optic Dot Edge Punch.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpGwscEUTju7vmTfOQbSlt_RsOGHNM0K2XgYsqxUijvkVP_xaXRqlL6fKjyHSF-yms0MDsE0ngLijsQ_Tju6LVubSXn7Hn8hnLs1_GiHvpNB-GBXMrAEtxJVntnCjS08E0qlempZrSE96c/s2048/DSCF5518.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1238" data-original-width="2048" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpGwscEUTju7vmTfOQbSlt_RsOGHNM0K2XgYsqxUijvkVP_xaXRqlL6fKjyHSF-yms0MDsE0ngLijsQ_Tju6LVubSXn7Hn8hnLs1_GiHvpNB-GBXMrAEtxJVntnCjS08E0qlempZrSE96c/w640-h386/DSCF5518.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">As well as the work trays, I made a couple of work stations. You may be wondering what's the difference between Trays and Stations. Well, the trays can be used for different things. Different projects, different stuff. The Stations, on the other hand, always have the same purpose. So, this Ink Station will always be used to hold an ink pad and applicator. The one at the back actually sits permanently on my desk. Now my ink pad won't ever get lost amongst the mess.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHKaVW22wdBjwHJo3AomlN2qbRU2HjLsZcNTbsYjizJEUjY40Q80oLprEMQ2N09E0psw8KTeYBC8koZ7JjNRmXqI9PpRrN3bQMZzACSAj26iwZbYMSSbaVSGbVRfcuQWH54fVKQ8sZUGH/s2048/DSCF5521.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1603" data-original-width="2048" height="489" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHKaVW22wdBjwHJo3AomlN2qbRU2HjLsZcNTbsYjizJEUjY40Q80oLprEMQ2N09E0psw8KTeYBC8koZ7JjNRmXqI9PpRrN3bQMZzACSAj26iwZbYMSSbaVSGbVRfcuQWH54fVKQ8sZUGH/w625-h489/DSCF5521.JPG" width="625" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The papers used to cover these are digitals. The floral is from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAt8DD1puds&list=PLjfdU0PMoMrP1J9z7K8BFOa39Szh325mv">ArtyMaze</a>, (the link will take you to the video where she shows the kit.

Hello everyone and welcome to my bloggy space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A very special welcome to my new followers. I am so pleased you decided to join me on my creative journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time again for a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. It is my turn to host this one, and the Theme is Masculine! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, anything you care to create is fine as long as you follow our Theme and, please, link your project to the Challenge post and not to the main CCM blog. Thanks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, I created a card.</div>

Hi everyone and welcome. So lovely to have you here for a visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are all having a wonderful day and you are well and keeping safe. Life is still not back to normal here as yet but, hopefully, we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and it won't be long before things are back to normal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay. So, I have been a little busy in my craft room of late and I would like to share what I've been working on. </div>

Yup! Been making myself a Recipe Book. Not your usual recipe book though. This one was made to hold recipe cards and will only hold a limited number of them. During our lock down time, when we couldn't go out to eat, I found a few different things to make for dinner while watching You Tube and had the recipes printed out for reference. As you can imagine, the paper gets quite messy when it's sitting on the kitchen bench while you're cooking so, this book is meant to alleviate that problem. Hopefully, anyway.</div>

The base covers are made from chipboard and the spine is covered in fabric. I used a heavy duty file folder to mat the covers. They have a plastic type surface which means it will be easier to keep clean. For the label, I used a Kaisercraft die for the frame and printed the title on my computer. It was heat embossed with clear embossing powder, again, to make sure it would stay reasonably clean.<br />
Yes, I am a messy cook. Almost as messy in the kitchen as I am in my craft room. LOL!<br />

The clip art graphic was fussy cut and coated with Glossy Accents before being adhered to the cover. Looks a bit blurry here but it does look a lot better in real life.<br />

The inside front cover and first page. I used papers by Tim Holtz and Kaisercraft and simply created pockets to hold the recipe cards. Most people I know, keep their recipe cards in a box but, for me, a book is much easier to store. There are four pages in this book and each one is designed the same. Just the papers are different.<br />

So far, I have only added pockets to the right hand side. If I find I
need more, it will be easy enough to add them to the left side later.

The paper I wanted to use on the left hand side was not wide enough so I
joined two pieces of paper together using washi tape. I found this
idea watching a video by Jennifer from<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow2vees7Cec" target="_blank"> JenofEve Designs</a> and I loved the look so much that I have used it on all of the left side pages. <br />

I created my own recipe cards as I couldn't find any printable ones that were suitable. I wanted them to be double sided, with the ingredients on one side and the method on the other and, although I can print these out completely on my computer, I decided to hand write them. Not as neat, but I do enjoy writing them out and, I can certainly use the practice. <br />

I've already used it a few times and it worked a treat. Even managed not to mess it up. Not yet, anyway!! <br />

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. Hope you are keeping safe and having a fabulous day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The new Challenge is up and running at Crafty Cardmakers. <a href="https://mycraftyhabit.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Jackie</a> is our lovely host and the Theme is Weddings!! As always, you may create anything you like as long as it follows the Theme. Please do make sure that you link your project to the actual Challenge and not to the main blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just another simple little card from me this time. I seem to prefer the minimalist look at the moment rather than anything more elaborate.<br />
They are a lot quicker to make as well, which is a bonus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut a piece of watercolour paper to the size I wanted, which was 6.5" x 3.5", and attached a piece of lace at the side.</div>

I found some gold twine (part of my Christmas stash), wrapped it around the card a couple of times and finished with the bow at the front. Then added the flower cluster. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flowers are by Little Birdie and the leaves are a die cut by Cheery Lynn.</div>

The greeting was computer generated and mounted on a piece of card for extra dimension. Although you can't see it very well in these photos, I did edge it with gold ink.<br />

Fairly clean and simple and very easy to put together which really suits me at the moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Would love it if you would pop over to the CCM blog and take a look at the fabulous projects created by my Teamies. You'll find plenty of inspiration there and, hopefully, will decide to join in with the Challenge.<br />

Hello dear crafty friends. Welcome to my blog and thank you for your visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope this finds you well and staying safe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The time has come for another Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. <a href="https://uroocreations.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Dr. </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">Monika</a> is our host and the Theme is Butterflies!! Anything you wish to create is fine but please make sure your butterfly/ies are a prominent part of your creation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have created a simple card using some very basic mixed media techniques.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I started by adding some torn bits of book paper and strips of washi tape to a piece of watercolour paper.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I added some stamping with archival ink and then used a sea sponge to dab on some gesso and texture paste.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRDEmIhk-NOFaYt9Lc3C3DwF3-YyyDzYfndU188n9BXdUe_XEwb1PUDkvYi4VRF39kY5713k24RL6EWD4U-k0PhpV1JEfu7D3tl4I2EFGTM-pdrnnmwePBy-91mVrpvvY3WEGe1ajWwWVq/s1600/DSCF5393.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1600" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRDEmIhk-NOFaYt9Lc3C3DwF3-YyyDzYfndU188n9BXdUe_XEwb1PUDkvYi4VRF39kY5713k24RL6EWD4U-k0PhpV1JEfu7D3tl4I2EFGTM-pdrnnmwePBy-91mVrpvvY3WEGe1ajWwWVq/s640/DSCF5393.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
Once that was dry, I added the colour with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals. The colour used was Tears on my Pillow Tangerine. I sprayed the paper with water first and then, again using the sea sponge, simply dabbed the colour where I wanted it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
