Hi, guys, I'm back!

 I took a break at the end of February, thinking it would only be for a month - and now it's the beginning of June.  I apologise for being missing in action.  I have had a lot of dental work done to straighten my wonky teeth, and my mojo decided to take a holiday; but now she's returned, suntanned and glamorous, and I'm getting back into crafting.

Here is a card I was commissioned to make for a dear friend's 70th birthday: the Commission was 'blue and not too fussy.'  


The white die-cuts are from Christina Griffiths' Fancy Frames Collection and the sentiment is cut in silver card with a vellum shadow.  My friend loved it, and her partner, who commissioned it, sent a donation to a cancer charity.  Having had cancer myself, I appreciate that!

I hope you are all keeping well!

Thanks for looking and take care!

love, Mags B x

My Time to Craft! #390 Men Only

Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

Gorjuss Card for a Gorjuss Girl!

Image
Hi, guys, from a grey and chilly S-E Hertfordshire! My daughter-in-law loves the Santoro Gorjuss range, and luckily I have a few Gorjuss stamps, so I combined my favourite with some glittery, shiny snippets for her card this year. I coloured the image with Copics and added a flower sequin over the skull ornament in her hair. I fussy-cut her, then layered her onto a circle distressed with Spun Sugar DI. The sentiment is cut with a Love from Lizi birthday die from shiny pink paper that was originally a card base. Yes! I'm using stuff up!! Ok, back to yet another Grand Tidy-Up of ye olde craft hovel. I'm being ruthless, RUTHLESS I TELL YOU! I hope all is going well for you all - it's nearly the weekend, huzza! Thanks for looking! love Mags B x
