Bella again

.
Hello everybody.Wow got a chance to make a card late last night,it is so relaxing to sit and play.I have been checking out a few blogs in USA and paper piercing seems to be a big trend at the moment so I had to have a go,used the tools for parchment that I had,the double one is good for this,speeds it up a bit and you get even spacing between the holes.The embossing line on the nesties is a great guide and keeps you fairly straight.I am always wondering if my cards are good enough or if i should add something else to them,gave myself a talking to yesterday and said that i make cards for me and not to worry about what others think you should or shouldn't do.But i still hope you like them!!.I think if you click on the image you will get a close up.This card is is for passing the driving test and U PASSED is on the inside...............philomena ps.Was messing around trying to get my photo to move!!bad idea it has ended up fuzzy,I need blogging lessons.I know if you click on photo you will see a perfect image.

Lost it




I have just spent the last 20 minutes blabbing on here and have just lost it,can not find it anywhere.I was going to edit and pressed the edit html ,could not backtrack from that. so all gone..............Insert bad word here.Had told you all about my love of decoupage,how i started with the large framed pictures and still loved to sit on long winter evenings cutting away.Cutting everything short now time i was not here...........philomena.

Beautiful day




What a beautiful day,so lovely to feel the sun.I spent the day in my other addiction{the garden}I never want to see another onion set,i've just finished sowing 10 bags!!!I have had raised beds in my veg garden made out of railway sleepers,they are great for kneeling on but after all that sowing my knees are saying OUCH!!Back to the reason we are here.Got into my room{what do you call your stamping spot?studio is too fancy for me i think}for all of 20 mins last night then realised grey's anatomy was on at 9.30 can not miss that, so all i did was tidy.Heading up shortly ,want to make a few things that came to me while i was sowing all them onions.These 2 cards use the nesties to make a framed appeture and they look great,i think!!.............philomena

Dragon

Can i introduce you to my dragon,made this card for my nephew who was in hospital and who has a love of dragons.The colours were his choice,i coloured in the crystal ball with the silver sakura glitter pen and wrote get well soon in black underneath,you would have to twist and turn the card to see the words.I used the large rectangle nesties to cut and matt the card.cracked my big shot plate{which was nearly bent double anyway}cutting through thick cardstock for the base............philomena

Hello







Hello again.Back after the easter break.We had loads of visitors around for the weekend,it was lovely to see everyone but now its back to normal for us.I made a few things tonight and had a great time,no photos yet .These are a few photos of my entry in the first an siopa bui challenge,congrats to cathy who won ,her card was really lovely.I made a mobile for a baby girl,these were the only hero arts stamps that i had bought.The main frame is the tiara from one of the cricut cartdriges{can't remember which one at the moment}I cut it four times and stuck them together.I have to say thank you to kerry for helping me with a few things on my blog today,it always looks easier when someone else is doing it.Also thanks to the ladies who have been commenting on here,its great to know that there is someone out there.Goodnight.............Philomena

Bella's

Iv'e got to try to take better photos,all you can see in these is a view of my kitchen.I have seen a blog where the lady has a sheet of brown paper as her backdrop and all of her cards look great,no matter what colour they are.Here are my bellas,i have to say that they are some of my favorite stamp.The one with the boxes[can't remember her name]i paper pieced,this is great fun and sometimes a pain in the neck because its hard to find small prints that will look good...........philomena
