Its a bit more special to say thankyou with some handmade cards, with the input from the Bride....Theme: Aubergine, Lace and Pearls - its the thought that counts and its nice to be able to put it on paper/card :)<br />
<br />
Heres what we came up with.....<br />

I can't believe its been that long. When I look at the date of the last post I suddenly realise why...."School Holidays". Its been a very busy holiday alright and now its back to routine and actually getting things done. Hope all your little ones have enjoyed heading back to school and routine. (Mammys probably enjoy it more!!) I know some are a bit shy or nervous starting school and some of my friends kids starting secondary school. But by the sounds of it settling in grand. <br />
<br />
Here's a card I finished recently, with a gorgeous "Bella" on the front. :)<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Hi Everyone, hope your day is going well, thanks for stoppin by my blog. I love when you get a chance to leave a comment, helps me realise that you are out there. Today I have some photos of some Vintage crinkle ribbon I made. Its not sold in many places and when I found a whole reel of Vintage Ribbon in Cream I just had to have it, to have a go making my own Crinkles and Colours!!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gIcG3U7ZZ7o/Uz7CBZ42bPI/AAAAAAAAA0c/W7MzNc0tdNo/s640/blogger-image--723331527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gIcG3U7ZZ7o/Uz7CBZ42bPI/AAAAAAAAA0c/W7MzNc0tdNo/s640/blogger-image--723331527.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gIcG3U7ZZ7o/Uz7CBZ42bPI/AAAAAAAAA0c/W7MzNc0tdNo/s640/blogger-image--723331527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MoqPFF04q3o/Uz7B_u_11yI/AAAAAAAAA0U/ysT8gwXRIYc/s640/blogger-image--1823951031.jpg" /></a> If you wanna give it a go this is the ribbon you'll be looking for. Let me know too if you find it as I'd be interested in getting some more. I got this one in a shop in Kilkenny, but it was the last one and I haven't seen it since. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Anyway the first thing you need to do is spray your ribbon with some water first just to dampen it then use your coloured mists or sprays, scrunch the colour in as you go. When your happy with it scrunch it into a ball - love that word SCRUNCH! Ha ha. Put elastic bands around it to keep it scrunched!! Leave them over night. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tCmjsQvUSko/Uz7H1aSTJBI/AAAAAAAAA0s/mY363VV01T0/s640/blogger-image--1543704093.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tCmjsQvUSko/Uz7H1aSTJBI/AAAAAAAAA0s/mY363VV01T0/s640/blogger-image--1543704093.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> I wanted a darker pink too so I used Ranger Distress Ink, rubbed some on my craft sheet and sprayed with water and cleaned it up with my ribbon, fab colour and worked just as well as the sprays. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">When you've left the ribbon in the elastics overnight, take the elastics off and unravel your ribbon, they will be still damp, so let them air dry, doesn't take long. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-v6YoUoXHDr8/Uz7H3c8HQEI/AAAAAAAAA00/PnYH08Euxd0/s640/blogger-image--982693192.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-v6YoUoXHDr8/Uz7H3c8HQEI/AAAAAAAAA00/PnYH08Euxd0/s640/blogger-image--982693192.jpg" /></a></span></div>

Hey Girls, (haven't seen any fellas here on my blog yet so I think I'm safe enough just welcoming the girls, but guys yer more than welcome if ye happen to pop in too, ha ha ) thanks for poppin in to see me, I love hearing from you all. Here's another project for you to follow along and maybe give it a go. These Match Boxes from Graphic 45 are great to alter and you can use them to hold anything you can think of really. I think I might make a mini album to fit into this one - so watch this space. I got my Match Box from Cardz n Scrapz, here's the link if you'd like to have a go <a href="http://cardznscrapz.com/Staples-Matchbook-Box-3x5x1.5%22-S04871-Boxes.html" target="_blank">Graphic 45 Match box</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I forgot to take a photo of the Match Box before I started but you'll get the idea from the link above. First of all I painted my box with Perfect pearls Mists from Ranger, making sure it was uneven and blotchy. :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g-ZTOk0JWmg/U6072EJ9MSI/AAAAAAAABOE/eVzMYv5OgRM/s1600/IMG_5438.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g-ZTOk0JWmg/U6072EJ9MSI/AAAAAAAABOE/eVzMYv5OgRM/s1600/IMG_5438.jpg" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then I measured and cut some paper pieces from Graphic 45 - Botanical
Tea paper pad. I inked the edges with Ranger Distress Ink - Vintage
Photo. Then I put some score tape on the back and stuck them on the
box. <br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then used one of the Graphic 45 Antique
Metal Door Pull and attached it to one end to make it easier to open
the drawer. You can also get these in Cardz n Scrapz here <a href="http://cardznscrapz.com/Graphic-45-Staples-Ornate-Metal-Door-Pulls-2-Pkg-Antique-Brass-With-4-Brads-S04882-Junkyard.html" target="_blank">Graphic 45 Antique Metal Door Pull</a> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well I got to squeeze in some me time this eve......you have to LIVE, don't you!! I have a LOVE for craftiness as you all know, so I added one of those and finished off with a LAUGH!! Hee hee I still need to get these on my wall in my Craft Loft, but I thought I'd take some photos before I did. I'll treat ye to some photos when I get them on the wall too. Can't promise you won't be waiting long, but I really hope not, I can't wait to see them on the wall myself!! <br />
<br />
I used Graphic 45's paper from their 8x8 Botanical Tea - absolutely fab paper!! The words started off as just MDF words. I cut the letters out from the paper and used Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges, then glued them on to the MDF words. The stencil for the little modelling paste flowers is from Prima, I just put a little gem in the center of each flower to make them stand out a little more. Fussy cut out lots from the pad to add more dimension and added distress ink and some stickles. Hope you like what I've done. Enjoy the photos and let me know what you think, thanks gals, till next time. ;)<br />

Boxed Card</h3>
Here is a beautiful 6x6 inch boxed wedding card. I used KaiserCraft - These Days paper pad, I inked the edges with Ranger Distress Ink - Vintage Photo and used the Tim Holtz distress tool too. Stitched around the edges with my sewing machine (this machine sees alot more paper and lace than it sees material)!! I used a Hero Arts swirl stamp and embossed with silver WOW! embossing powder for the background and added some pearls on the ends of the swirls. I added lace, pearls, cheesecloth and feathers to build it up. I then cut out some white card with Stampin Up! Framelits labels collection, Inked again with Ranger Vintage Photo and used my black gel pen to add faux stitching, I sprayed the labels with Rangers Perfect Pearls Mists - Heirloom Gold. I found a fab <a href="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/valentine-scrap-dove-image/">Vintage Bird</a> on Graphics Fairy and fussy cut it out, inked it also and sprayed with the Perfect Pearls and added stickles to the neck of the bird and on the rose. Added the ribbon and twine with tags and some stickles. On the box I added a metal leaf attached to the ribbon. On the box I used Versamark Ink to stamp some hearts from the Potpourri Stampin Up! stamps. I put some Stampn Up! heat n stick on and then added glitter. Took some photos and packed it up nice n snug to be posted!! Please Mr. Postie be gentle with it!! :D<br />

</h2>
I wanted to try something with gesso and glimmer mist to make a really shabby chic look. I decided to take a simple 6x4 inch journal and see what I could do with it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pw0WNPyH1Ak/UzCJkD4vnTI/AAAAAAAAAok/ZjcxCtUkJVw/s1600/IMG_4940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pw0WNPyH1Ak/UzCJkD4vnTI/AAAAAAAAAok/ZjcxCtUkJVw/s1600/IMG_4940.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I decided to <a href="http://cardznscrapz.com/Lefranc-%26-Bourgeois-Gesso-Primer-500ml-L00463-Paints.html" target="_blank">Gesso</a> all the edges of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cahills-Shop-Tramore/124396757580173">Journal</a> and all metal and other embellishments first. What a mess right!! Then I went over the edges of the journal again with white Acrylic Paint.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z7IKNteHSwk/UzCK01FepLI/AAAAAAAAAow/CrG22ZCqGWQ/s1600/Gesso+Metal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z7IKNteHSwk/UzCK01FepLI/AAAAAAAAAow/CrG22ZCqGWQ/s1600/Gesso+Metal.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I then chose some paper from Prima - Rondelle Collection for the front and back of the journal and put gesso on the edges of the paper too. See I told you I wanted to use Gesso!! I then stitched around the edges of the paper with my sewing machine.<br />

I halved a doily and put half on the front and half on the back. I used the <a href="http://cardznscrapz.com/Prima-Marketing-Poppies-%26-Peonies-Designer-Art-Stencil-6X6-Chevron-Grunge-P04916-Masks-%26-Stencils.html">Prima Chevron</a> stencil and put some modelling paste on it. And backed it with some dark pink card. <br />

After all that Gesso, I sprayed here and there with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - <a href="http://cardznscrapz.com/Glimmer-Mist-Key-Lime-Pie-G01116-Glimmer-Mist.html">Key Lime Pie</a> and <a href="http://cardznscrapz.com/Tattered-Angels-Glimmer-Mist-2-Ounce-Vintage-Pink-G01362-Glimmer-Mist.html">Vintage Pink</a>. I also added a white Muslin ribbon, twine and a key, some <a href="http://cardznscrapz.com/Cheesecloth-36%22-x-3-yards-Accessories.html">Cheesecloth</a> and little gems here and there. Even the little padlock has some cheesecloth, gems and a little rose. And I put a touch of glitter on the flowers, its hard to see in the photos, but there is glitter. Oh I nearly forgot the Sweet Prima light bulb -<a href="http://cardznscrapz.com/Prima-Flowers-Junkyard-Findings-Vintage-Trinkets-Small-Typo-Bulbs-8-Pkg-J00100-Charms-and-Embellies.html">Junkyard Findings</a>.

We are very sad that our lovely friends are leaving to set up home way away across the water..........how could they do this to us!! Well we had some tricks up our sleeves - didn't we girls. We thought if we threw them this fabulous party they would just see how much we all love them and they just wouldn't have the heart to leave us all behind. Did it work..................<br />

I was confused and said your actually early........so she was surprised too but never said why she thought it was late. Anyway the story goes on.......I was here yesterday......as you all know and a knock comes to the door....off I did trot to find a good friend a little bit older than the first with another gorgeous handmade card from her daughter and some delish homemade brownies (shes actually famous for her brownies), also apologising for a belated gift!! <br />

<h3>
What actually happened.........</h3>
I can't believe I did this, I had to go and check my messages to see what I had really texted......but my older brownie famous friend had texted a couple of weeks ago and said she had changed her phone and lost dates etc and asked when my Anniversary was..........I texted back (and I DID cos remember I checked - shame) Dec 31st..........NOT my Anniversary!!<br />
<br />
So now I'll be <u>waiting</u> on the actual anniversary date for a knock at the door...........

Mine always has a mixture of things happening, so its starting 7 jobs and see how many get finished!! I started a card this morning, a personal one, not for me but FOR me to GIVE to a Friend. Then the window cleaner called, they were next door and asked did I want my windows done, course that was great, now to rush round and clean up after breakfast and clear window sills so they can just come in and get their job done easily!! Had a quick cuppa with them and a catch up as they are not just my window cleaners but good friends. No biscuits or muffins with all having to lose a few lbs between us. :) So off they went to cheer up someone else's windows and left me to figure out where I was before they knocked. Oh yeah off to do more on my card.........phone rings........accounts question!! Oooops thats one of the 7 jobs and I havent even turned on the PC. So after I sort out the query on accounts I got back to my card and you'll be glad to hear I actually got it finished......it only took me from start to finish and jobs in between 3 1/2 hrs.......not bad goin for a Monday morning!! <br />

I have loads to share with you all but I'm trying to get my head around this Blog thing and I would love to have it just the way I want it but thats proving very difficult because my brain is so small and there is tons of information out there and I will never retain it!!<br />
<br />
I want lots of buttons at the top like I've seen on other blogs - like Home, Videos, Handmade Cards, Cards for Sale, etc. so you can go exactly where you want, but it might be a while before I get to all that. In the meantime my baby has turned 11yrs old today..........man do I feel old..........still with a small brain!!<br />
<br />
Ok, I'm gonna try n find my way around this bloggin thing and see what I can do with it!! Its been a while so even what I did know has dissapeared! :D<br />
<br />
Tarrah for now.

Here I've stamped my Daisy & Dandelion elephant stamp and coloured her in with copic markers. I embossed my Stampin' Up fabulous FRIEND stamp and layered it all on red & black using Spellbinders dies, embellished with some gems and a red ribbon. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11434312970490181347noreply@blogger.com4
