(Momento)
and Royal Blue Ink,

next to the Popcorn Monkey Image.

for the other Image I 
fussy cut out the Clown Notice Board
 and then using Royal Blue Ink
I stamped on a 'Happy Birthday Ticket' Stamp

(AHB Designs.com - Crafts-Beautiful)

then coloured in the Stars with 
Canary, Poppy and Azure Pens,
and around the Ticket area I coloured it in with Satin.

To attach the Clown Notice Board
to the Card as a Tag,
I punched a hole through the Clowns Flower
on his Hat.
I then threaded through a 5mm Red Satin Ribbon

(Boyes Haberdashery)

Which I affixed to the Left side of the Card.

Finally I added 3 Buttons,
2 Blue and 1 Red Mini Plastic Buttons

New Challenge #194 at Glitter N Sparkle - Card 1

Its Summer,

Well if its not official its sure hot enough.

And when its like this I just love doing
all kinds of homey things.
So this week I have been Jam making,
I will probably be having a few baking days
over the next few weeks,
especially when I can go out into the Garden
and pick all the ingredients fresh.
I also found a wonderful new (easy)
Jam recipe using the Microwave.....
and yes it is very effective and more importantly
YUMMY....

First I printed off the Image

on White DC Paper

And coloured it in using my Promarker Pens.

Poppy

Burgandy

I then backed the Image onto 
a piece of Black Card to keep it ridged,

once it had dried I then Cut out the Image.

To make the Tag look like a Pot of Jam,
I used Glossy Accents

1cm Red Satin Ribbon

which I then used to tie the Tag around the

New Challenge #193 at Glitter N Sparkle

Phew,

Well this House Clearing is hard work.
I've sorted loads out but the only thing is
its now all piled up in the Spare Room,
which is now so full I can't even get into it.
some of the stuff is to good just be thrown away in a skip,
so now I need to sort it out into piles again.
Binning, Selling and Charity.

This week I thought I would try something different colour wise,
I have chosen to use Oranges, Peaches and Yellows, 
which I very rarely use.

I then cut a Rectangle of Saffron Yellow Paper

down the right edge of the Paper.

Next I handmade a Bow for the top right gap of the Image using

which I topped with a

New Challenge #192 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hello back again,

Think I have managed to de-stress now.
All I have lined up to do now is clear the house out,
(and I have trouble throwing things away).
But I need to have a ruthless clear out 
ready for the start of the Summer Holidays 
as my Step-Daughter is coming for the duration.
It is going to be so much fun,
and her Dad and I have got a few things planned
to keep her occupied.

Anyway this week is all about those Special Men in your life.
It doesn't always have to be your Father,
it could be your Step-Dad, or a Grandfather,
or even that Special Person who has given 
you guidance as you grow up.

This one is for my Father.
(and for once I know he will get it in time).

I cut out the 'Happy Father's Day'
out of Dark Brown Card.

For the Quote, I found it on the Internet

the Corners with a pair of scissors.

Hi everyone,

Yes its that time of month again.
Well things have been getting rather exciting around here,
talk about family drama, sometimes I feel like
the Soaps on TV have nothing on real life.
I bet there are loads of us who feel that way.

This Card I have done especially for my Dad 
who's Birthday is coming up soon.
I have tried to colour the Canal Boat
in the same colours as the one that my Parents own.
