MAWTT - Man or Boy

 Good Morning All

I have decided to restart Moving Along With The Times challenge blog as Diane is still not feeling upto it.

We are starting with a theme of 

Man or Boy

So that covers  all from Baby boy upto Man.

I went to my ever faithful LOTV toppers.

Keeping with Trying to Use my Stash I found some mulberry paper so used that under the topper.

Yummy for Crafty Ribbons

Good Morning All

It is my turn to post for Crafty Ribbons.

I have made two cards for this using some yummy Cake Grosgrain ribbon and Keep Calm Ribbon, both available in store HERE.

I used the same toppers from LOTV but in different sizes.

I added the sentiment tag with Seam binding which I adore and comes in loads of different colours.

Even if you can't find the colour you want, it is so easy to colour with alcohol pen, which I have done before.

This one, if you dont have the seam binding in the  correct colour to match your card, just ink it.

I used  a Tim Holts Distress pad to colour this yellow one to match.

Happy with these two and they will go in my box for charities.

Book or Movie for Craft Rocket

Good Morning All

Craft Rocket challenge is Book or Movie Inspired.

One of the first pictures I went to the picture house to watch with my Mum was Mary Poppins.When I saw this topper from LOTV, that was in the collection that a friend gave me, I saw the lady feeding the birds and singing 'Tuppence, Tuppence, Tuppence a Bag.

So cute.

I have not added a sentiment yet, it was in a Christmas collection but not sure yet if it will be a Christmas card.

*******
Had a lovely day with Val yesterday but we were both abit dissappointed in Elda.
It is a 'shoe making' town and the Museum was very interesting, then we looked around the shops and ended up in a China store and bought afew (essential) craft items.
All the shoes we looked at were very very nice but very expensive.
Then we sat in a Plaza and passed the time talking and drinking until it was time for the coach back.
Then back to Catorce for an evening meal.
Back home and spoke to John Next Door on Skype and stroked the TV controls LOL while making ribbon flowers with my new ribbon.
Very Nice

Love LOTV

Good Morning All

A I hav4 mentioned before, Gail that was visiting Spain gave me some LOTV toppers when we met up for Coffee before Christmas.

This is one of them.

I made an aperture in the front of a

 6 x 6 card blank suing S/B Decorative Labels 22.

I used the smaller one for the image to go onto inside that aperture.

Perfect peonies and leaves for the corner.

Some heart gems and Want 2 Scrap corners.

I used two different sheets from LOTV Country Meadows Paper pad.

So glad I bought afew of these pads before they stopped selling them.

I used the piece I had cut out from the front for the inside.

LOTV

Good Morning All

Today is my sisters and my best friends Birthday, so a big Happy Birthday to them.

I mentioned the other day about Gail staying in the next town to me and when we met up, she very kindly, gave me some LOTV toppers which I love.

So here is a couple of cards I have made with them.

I have been on a mission this last week and that is to clear out my scrap box and KEEP it clear!!!!

I have near enough cleared it but I am going to start throwing scraps away, small ones anyway!!!

These two are using some of those bits - string, odd die cuts, leaves.

When I cut a square for a mat with my Pierced Noble dies, I nearly always cut the centre out too, as it will be covered,  so that is the small one on the first card I used for the sentiment tags.
