Bev Williamson - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

What a day .... it is absolutely pouring down and so today I will be lighting my log burner and curling up in front of it.  Poor Ruby won't get to go out in this rain as I am a wimp and a fair weather walker. Even the cat won't go out the door in this.

So I have done the draw for Fridays offering and the bane today is 

Bev Williamson

Earrings

 Hi Everybody,

Just to prove that I have not been idle over the past few weeks I wanted to show you some of the earrings I have been making.

I got all my jewelry bits and pieces from Amazon and following YouTube videos I made all these from beads that I already had in my stash. 

I was wearing some when I took Ruby to her playschool and my dog walker lady liked them.

I sent her the photo of the ones I had made and she bought all of them from me in one go.

Sally gave some to her daughters and another pair to the lady who works with her walking  the dogs, and told me I should ask more for each pair. But I am only learning how to make them and so at the moment they are cheap to buy.  

I used glass beads and some ceramic ones also and the end results are very pretty.

What do you think of them ???

Charity Box

Hi Everybody,

So I have been busy filling up my charity box again with all the cards that are in my craft room that I have made over the past few months.

All will have envelopes with them and be placed in cellophane bags to keep them clean before they go to the shop.

I usually take a box full and in it there will probably be about 100 to 150 cards ... maybe more. It is always something I enjoy doing and I do it regularly.

Now next Monday my computer is going away to the repair shop to have a new hard drive put in it  and I will be out of action for a few days until it is returned to me. Hopefully it will be be back to a complete normal again ... hopefully !!!

I must admit it scares me to death when it goes wrong.

I will try and get as much done to schedule my posts and my Friday Freebies are already scheduled to go out each week till the end of the month.

Two More Layered cards

 Hi Everybody,

The Look at Layers Collection has made some lovely cards for me and the addition of the flowers makes them even more special.

These two cards are made from the leftovers that I have lying around my craft room and both of these are A5 size.

The one to the right is done in Portrait and the one below is Landscape and both are very pretty cards.

I used yellow flowers on this one, and along with the cards I showed yesterday it lets you see how the different colours work together 

I like to mix and match the flowers to add interest and all of them I have used my very favourite leaf die set called Rose Flourishes

I have used an embossed layer on both of these cards and added the die cuts to the top. 

This just adds a little more interest to the base layer and is something I like to do.

On the card to the left I have used two square layers and turned one at an angle to the other. I added them with foam tape underneath to raise them up.

The circular die cut has been added to the top of these layers

Gold mirror card sentiments finish them off along with some pearls dotted here and there. 

More tomorrow ...
