plain and simple - for RivkA

I've written, edited and deleted this post over the past couple of days and there is nothing I can say that hasn't been said.  I now know what the capital A stands for - AMAZING!!!!! - for you truly were. You taught me so much and you will never be forgotten.

May her family be comforted by the wonderful memories and legacy she left behind.

au revoir dear RivkA, fly free, fly high.  You leave a huge hole in this world.

Run, run, as fast as you can.....

....you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man.

Some more cute ribbons from Crafty Ribbons for me to make them 2 projects with.  My first is a recipe card box and comes complete with recipes for yummy autumn/winter goodies...

and then along came this card....

It's been a pink and brown kind of day..

...found some gorgeous cupcake papers that I'd forgotten about and as I needed to make a few birthday cards I decided to go along with the pink and brown colour theme...

Guess I'd better get on with the mundane things of life now, such as cooking OH some dinner.  Such is life.

A SPecial Card for A Special Brother

it's my big brother's 70th next month and considering we didnt think he'd make 55 it's a very special achievement so I had to make him a special card to go with it.  Obviously his favourite pastime is golf.

It's here in black and white....

....black and white is my all time favourite colour combination so of course I had to make one more door hanger....

I used a new Tilda..

and beadazzled a butterfly for a change

time to stop playing and get on with my to do list now.

Another Santa Request

I've now made a door hanger for Grace...

and a book for her present list...

so that's my littlies sorted.

Santa baby.......

...wont you come calling tonight!!!!

A door sign for Mya's bedroom...



and a book for her to write to Santa in - I did this last year too and will repeat for future years so Mya can look back over her childhood and see what she asked Santa for each year.

Now I have Gracie's to make......

watch this space.

A bit more Grungeboard fun...

...well you didn't expect me to stop with one door hanger did you?  Just as my mojo has returned after it's summer vacations so thought I'd make the most of it and here is number 2...

and a close up of the flowers I made..

and the wording which I highlighted

and the corner which I used a stencil and embossing paste for and then dusted with colour before it dried..

Numbers 3 and 4 coming up soon - these are special ones for Mya and Grace, all will be revealed real soon.

A door hanger...

...what fun it is to take a sheet of grungeboard, a few gems, a couple of rubber stamps and your ProMarkers and turn them into this.....

here's a closer view of the flowers I made backed by a couple of peacock feathers stamped, coloured and angel dusted...

and my new Tilda stamp...

isn't she gorgeous.  Then I just had to use my new Sew Easy tool so that I could add some hand stitching..

I have so enjoyed this project that I am off to make a couple more of them.
