Sharing an 'Oldie' on Friday

Hi Crafters,

Friday already!? How did that happen?

This week is flying by and so I am here to join in with Erika's challenge at Snappy Crafts to dig out an old crafty project and share it here.

Recipe

Image - Impression Obsession Stamp - Potting Shed

Coloured with Pro/flexmarkers

Sentiment - Lili of the Valley Stamp

Spellbinders Grand Labels Four

Speciality Papers from my stash

Computer generated sentiment paper

Peel-off Corners

Velvet Ribbon

I love this stamp, it's very detailed but gives a great impression and works beautifully for a male Retirement card I think.

This card is a couple of years old and is one of the last images on my recovered camera disc, so unless I start posting more recent projects this is the last time I will be joining in with Erika. I had so many images of cards and crafty projects that were lost when  my computer died :(

Well I hope you have a great Friday, the weekend is nearly here and I'm still beavering away in my room trying to get ahead of myself. 

Take care,

Lorraine

Sharing an Oldie on Friday with Erika

Hi Crafters,

Hope you are just fine and dandy, it's Friday and the end of the week so I'm happy! 

A quick post today to share an 'Oldie' with Erika at Snappy Crafts.

This card was made for an order 18 months ago which required shoes and handbags as the theme, I think this download from CraftsUprint fitted the bill.

Recipe

CraftUprint - Backing papers, shoes and handbag images.

Gold Peel-offs

Pearls

I sized the background and images to fit my 7 x 7 card and then printed the shoes and handbag a few times for layering.

If you'd like to join in with this fun Friday look back at old crafty projects then give Erika a look on her blog and let her know you are playing along.

Well that's all I have time for today, a busy day ahead finishing off orders for February.  I am very pleased that I have caught up with things that my computer breakdown had set me back with. Lets hope I can keep up the momentum throughout the year! Well that's my plan anyway. :)

See you soon,

Lorraine

Sharing an 'Oldie' on Friday

Hi Crafters,

 

How did it get to be Friday, again?!

These weeks are definitely racing by, it's getting scary how quickly time is passing, do you all feel it? or is it just me.

Anyhow, as it's Friday it's also time to share an old crafty make from the past with Erika at Snappy Crafts. This is where we post a picture of a crafty project, just for fun, made a while ago. Now I only started taking regular photo's of my cards and projects when I started my blog a couple of years ago so the pictures of anything older are getting few and far between now but here is a cricketing card that I made some time back.

 

Recipe

Stripy Cardstock - Limetree Crafts

Cricket Topper - Papermania (I think)

Word Dies - Britannia Dies

Peel-offs and Gems

 

It's fun to look back and see how your crafting has evolved and changed over the years, why not give it go and visit Erika on her blog and let her know that you've joined in.

Sharing An Oldie On Friday

Hi Crafters,

 

A little late in the day but I'm here now, this morning was busy with my stall at the Farmers' Market and I didn't get a chance to post this before I went, so here is my 'oldie' for this week joining in with Erika of Snappy Crafts.

 

 

This is a thank you card that I made back in 2012 for a swap partner in Canada, we had both sent each other some goodies. The word die is from Sizzix and I cut this into the panel which was then covered in red micro beads. The photo is rubbish I'm afraid as the floral paper is flocked and the black 'thank you' is shimmery glitter but it doesn't show up at all. I have a different camera now and a bit more experience although that doesn't always guarantee great results :/

This links nicely into a big 'Thank you' to Erika of Snappy Crafts as I have just received a fabulous parcel of goodies today for a swap that we did recently. She really spoilt me and I have lots of things to create with - thanks Erika!

Well that's all from me, I have another stall to man tomorrow so I had better make a few cards to restock from this mornings sales. I will visit you all tomorrow evening for a catch up.

Hi Crafters,

 

I'm back, a little later than I had anticipated - where does the time go lately?

Anyhow, here is my 'Oldie' crafty make to join in with Erika at Snappy Crafts with her fun weekly challenge.

 

Cream Pearlescent ridged cardsrock

Spellbinders Filigree Cross and Fancy Tags Dies

Hobbycraft Flourish stamp set and Sentiment Stamp

 

Sympathy cards are not pleasant to have to make but unfortunately necessary. I always have a few of these made to keep by me for just such an occasion. I try and keep them as flat as possible for posting too.

If you would like to join in with us and share an old crafty make once a week just leave Erika a comment on her blog letting her know that you have joined in and she will know to come visit you.

 

Thank you for your lovely comments on my previous post today, I love to read them and they are always appreciated.

Hope the weekend holds some good weather for everyone and that you all enjoy yourselves.

I'm back here on Sunday with my Christmas Card Club challenge card, see you then.
