Red, White and Blue Patchwork Blanket

Have to apologise for the picture quality there were shadows where there should not be and it looks like if my card is glued all skew I did crop it but still did not come out correct.

Red, White and Blue Patchwork Blanket

My recipe:

My sketch is from Party Time Tuesday
Again a 8X8 at the moment my favourite layout!
Use 3 different colours Red Blue and White card stock onto white as my basic card
I embossed the Red and Blue card pieces with different embossing folders to create the effect of different materials used to sew my Patchwork Blanket
My middle piece is just a bit of scrap I had in my stash and I punched the stars out with one of my punches and glued it to every second square
Added Blue and Red Stitched Ribbon to the edges of my middle semi square to create the elution of a Patchwork Blanket that is stitched
Used a few digital stamps and coloured them in with Promarkers and cut and layered them out
I used a die and cut the cotton bobbins out and embossed them with the Cuttlebug and took a white pen and highlighted the bobbins
I added a sentiment, ribbon and 3 red buttons to finish it off

All your comments are highly appreciated and I am always open for more ideas and advise!!

Windemere

Good evening my dear friends!

We were away for a few days with very good friends of ours in our Motor home and camped in Windermere in the Lake District.  It was great! The weather, well what can I say about the weather it rained every night and some drizzling during the day time as well.  We hired a car and drove around to Ambleside and Keswick.  On the Saturday we hired a small boat and gone on Windermere Lake and what fund we had!!

Fun in the Sun

Hi all my dear friends!

What a storm we just had!  Thunder and lightning and so much rain!!!  I am not complaining because the garden needs the rain.  I will take some photos of my garden to show all of you.  I must admit I do love gardening as well. 

Well back to crafting!  I love this image from Mo manning the little boy playing in the sand is so lovely and take me back when my children was small and playing in the sand on the beach, but that was many a moon ago!  My son and his wife are expecting there 1^st child and my daughter has 3 children!!!  So I am a bit long in the tooooooth!! Ha ha!!

Well here is my recipe:

The sketch I used was from Mo Manning
The main card is an A5 and is from card stock I had in my stash
My image is a digi stamp from Mo’s Digital Pencil too!
I coloured him in with Promarkers and distress the edges and made distressed clouds
I have cut another oval with the Cricut machine in lime green and layered my image on it and then layered it on Orange card stock that I Embossed with the Dots Embossing Folder
I took Yellow card edging I had in my stash and embossed that also with a single line of dots
With Red card I embossed flowers with another Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and cut it out and added brads to the middle of the flowers and glued to overhang my image
I took some play sand and glued it to some areas on the image and below the image to form sea sand and added some real small shells and little stones
I used blue card and embossed it with a scalloped edge embossing folder cut that out and put glitter on the ends to try and form the waves breaking on the beach   
Last but not least my Sentiment, I distressed the edges with red on the outside and formed a yellow sun like circle in the middle

Well I hope you all have fun looking at this card as I had fun making it.  All you comments highly appreciated and I am always open for more Ideas and advise!!

Here is another lovely image that I think is so lovely, she is a stamp from Magnolia Stamps and she is called "Tilda"

I used the sketch from Sketch and Stash

Well here is my recipe:

I have used 2 designers paper, pink and orange cards stock and mounted my topper on 6x6 Orange Card Stock

I have used a Magnolia stamp “Tilda”

I used Promarkers to colour the image in

I mounted my image onto a bit of ribbon so she have some where to sit on and used some designers papers and cut the top and the bottom with a lace cutter and mounted it onto a Orange card stock that I Embossed with the Cuttlebug

I have used the Cuttlebug and 2 different embossing folders, Dots and a Diamond shaped Embossing folders

I layered everything and added DMC embroidery cotton to form the cross on the top and added a turquoise flower brad with a bead with the initial “M” on it for Magnolia

I cut the Pink card stock into strips and mounted them onto Orange Card stock and layered it onto the Striped Designers paper I also embossed the strips

I made the flowers and cut the leaves out with a punch and made a posy

Then last but not least I added 3 buttons with DMC embroidery cotton tied so it looks like a bow in each!
