Scanned image.

I'm using a scanned image of a card I made for a fellow DC member { who will be 50} soon. I have used a gorgeous Tilda image Wendy Fraser { Papersniffer}, kindly gave me.
I'm having fun looking through you tube videos at the moment and have saved so many items that I will never have time to make them all! The weather here has been awful all week { wet }, and as I cycle it feels cold as well. Have a good weekend all, will post again soon.

frenchie stamp.com photo purse You Tube

I have just found this ladys' web site and copied her purse. You probably have done something like this before, but it's a new one for me.
I then wandered through her you tube  bits { whatever you call them }, and found enough new things to keep me busy for ages ! I would say that she left 1/4 inch for the fold and tp punch the holes, but I would leave a bit wider. I'm going to try 9x9 paper next, and oerhaps even 6x6.

No camera.

Just wanted to say for anyone looking at my blog, that I am unable to put any pics on here until I buy a new camera. This is because a thief broke into my house a few weeks ago and found mine to his/her liking! I do feel bitter as I work hard for what I earn !I have been making small boxes to put eggs in for this weekend following the DC creativity club downloads ..brilliant for a newish person to crafting or like me wanting to try new ideas out. The ones I did were triangle shaped made to look like a chicken.{ my sister & family love chicken run}.Hope you all have a wonderful weekend . I will not have time to comment on blogs, but will look at as many as I can for inspiration and to catch up on news. X Jean.
PS for those interested I have my re enactment dress and bonnet now along with a necklace like Jane Austens, stockings new shoes and shawl ..all ready for our first outing on 22 April for a pre St George's day event.

It's Snowday today !!!!!!!!

                                           
Image is a free download from Saturated Canary.
  Just like many of you, I have snow overnight. Without sounding like a grumpy old lady ..I don't like it since I slipped last year & ended up in A&E with suspected fractured cheek { lucky it wasn't, but ended up looking like Frank Bruno,and felt very fragile for a few weeks }. Hope you are all well & keeping busy, I've had  a busy weekend so far with Romeo & Juliette , ballet at the theatre {lovely }, and our 1st ENM appearance of the year at Potters where they do the bowls from { a lush place to holiday }. Hera are 2 cards I've made this week, hope you like.

Trying vintage.


Hi, hope you are all keeping well. I had a lovely day today ..went out to the E.N.M.  AGM, with a meal included. Then Martin made tea while I finished these cards off. I really must start using inks.!!! MESSY
                 Hope you have a lovely week
                                       Jean.

Would you believe it !!!!!!!!!!!!

Was having a lovely holiday ........until yesterday when our boiler went off & started leaking. Repair man came early today, then Martin & myself went for a walk along the river Wensum & guess who slipped over in the mud ? You guessed correctly, although OH says it was a tree root ! Right hand which I broke years ago is playing me up, hope its just bruised or soft tissue damage {as they call it nowadays}.
