Owl House ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays character is one that I could send to someone who has  moved house.  And this cute Owl is settling into his tree house.

It is another image on the CD from Clinton Rose .... Farmyard Fellows

Each of the characters is designed  so that they are free standing  .... but you don't have to use them that way.

This one has been decoupaged onto  a card instead and I have used some brick paper behind the tree.

I have separated all the layers with Pinflair Glue Gel  and the "Home Sweet Home" plaque has inked in nails to hold it to the branch.  

The Woodpecker and the butterflies are also on the disc along with the tiny snail at the bottom of the card.

They are sure to be a delight for children to both give and make for them selves.

If you would like to win one of the 3 copies that I have then this is the place to go ...... Farmyard Fellows

Add your name and email ..... but only once as duplicates will be removed.   If you don't have a blog leave the URL box blank .... and leave me a comment.

You will need to become a follower to be in with the chance to win.  

More tomorrow ...

Playful Puppy ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays character is one of nine images from the hand of a brand new designer Clint Rose who has put his collection together on one CD.

There are separate sheets of clothes for you to cut out,  or hobby items that can be added to each one to personalise it for your recipient.

There are also several sentiments to choose to suit different occasions  and as it is "Fathers Day" next week I thought this one would be appropriate.

I have cut out all the layers for the puppy and because I am not neat at cutting I have edged all my shapes with a black pen.  It just  helps to disguise them a  little.

They have been curled in my fingers  to give some shape to the body and then layered up appropriately with Pinflair Glue Gel.

I have kept the additions for this guy to the minimum and all I have added is the badge for No.1 and some Googly Eyes.

The CD is very easy to use and each of the images comes in two sizes.  It's just a case of choose and print,  and then decoupage to your hearts content.

And I have not one  ... but  3 CD's to "Give Away"   so if you would like to win a copy of  ...  Farmyard Fellows  ... then click the link to take you to the page.

Add your name and email address ...  join the group of followers  and leave me a comment ...

The draw will take place on Saturday.  If you don't have a  Blog then leave the URL box blank.

There is a link on that page for you to BUY the CD if you can't wait .... and you could pop over to Clints' Facebook page and click the "Like"  ... and tell him I sent you.

More tomorrow ...

June "Give Away" ...

Hi Everybody,

Over the last few months it has been my pleasure to have a "Give Away" and we have had some fantastic prizes.

I have been very lucky to have friends in the right place and they have very kindly supplied me with some of the items that have been on offer.

And this one is another super prize for you to win ... and I have three copies on offer.

This was offered to me by Clinton Rose who is a brand new designer from Suffolk.

Clint is an electrical installer by trade, but  he has now ventured into the world of cardmaking and this is the very first CD that Clint has produced and understandably he is very nervous about how it will sell.   But at the reasonable price of £7.95 it is a good deal.

So drum roll please ....... as I introduce you to "Farmyard Fellows"  .... This has some really cute critters on there that you can decoupage and dress up ...  or not as suits your needs.

They have lots of different sentiments to them that you can mix and match with each of the nine animals that are on the CD ... Happy Birthday, Be Mine, Thank You to name a few.

And there are  many extras that can be added to each character too  ...   like hobbies and clothes as well as flowers and butterflies so that you can personalise them for your recipients.  Kids will love them.

Over the next few days I will be adding a new card each day so that you can see what the CD is all about.

So pop over to his Facebook Page and tell him that  I sent you.   Click the "Like" button  to show him we care and are happy to support new designers on their journey.

If you would like to win one of the three copies that I have then  you will need to be a regular follower.

Add your name and email address to the list at the bottom of the page.   If you don't have a blog then leave the URL box blank ... and only one entry please as duplicates will be removed.

The draw will last for one week and the winners will have a further week in which to claim their prize.

And if you can't wait and want to buy a copy then here is the link for this new CD ....

Pink Ovals ...

Hi Everybody,

I love this card and it is much prettier in real life than the photo shows.  It's a really delicate shade of pink

It is once again a Hinged Card as I enjoy this way of making the base.

The white layer has been embossed with one of the new A4 folders from Creative-Studios   and is the one called Basket Weave.

The next layer is pink card but I have put something called paper straw on it and this was from the Pound shop .... and guess how much it was ?????

Around these two layers I have wrapped some of my bargain ribbon with a big double bow tied with the Bow Maker  and these are selling very well in My Shop 

Now in the centre of this bow I have added a large spacer with a brad in the centre and both of these can be bought from The Hobby House    ..... and doesn't it look wonderful???

The larger pearls are some of the Bulk Bling from  Want2Scrap  and I have added one in the outer ovals, and two  little stick pins are the finishing touch.

I hope you will be back tomorrow as a new "Give Away" is being added  and you won't want to miss it.

To be in with a chance to win you will need to add your name to the list.   

More tomorrow ...

Decorative Labels Eight ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is not  very big only (4" x 6") and  there are no deep embellishments on it either ... so a double bonus there.

And that means it will fit into a standard sized envelope for posting.

It use several different dies and they are listed below.

The card has been created from the Hinged Style  that allows you to keep the pattern at the top of the card.

The ribbon around the panel is from Mei Flower  and is a beautiful white satin edged in silver.

The sentiment is part of a collection from Lili of the Valley  that  I have stamped and heat embossed  in silver and matted  onto some silver mirror card.

All this is layered onto the Radiant Rectangles with foam pads.  The backing paper is from the Floriography CD and I have edged this with a silver Metallic Ink  pen

There is just one pearl on the knot of the ribbon that is part of the Bulk Bling from Want2Scrap

I am adding a new "Give Away" this weekend so I hope you will like what is going to be on offer.

More tomorrow ...
