February Calendar Page and Valentines Day

Here are my Feb pages for Kate Cranes Calendar Challenge, at the moment I can't link these up as I can't find it on Kate's blog but will as soon as I can, she may be updating the linky.

Here is the Valentines card I made for Mark (sorry about the blurry picture).



Here is the small gift I made for him, as I have been off work sick I couldn't afford a pressie so I made this little coupon book :0) and I can't share the coupon's sorry, but the are all decorated to match.



Here is a thank you card I made for Mark (hubby) just to let him know I appreciate him for looking after me when I had my operation.



The good news is I go back to work on the 5.3.12, the bad news is I will have less time to craft:0(.

I do have some more projects to show you but will save those for another post.

Thank you for popping by and leaving your comments, I love reading them all it cheers me up.

Until next time,

Happy Birthday Tracey. A Postcard from Belgium.

First of all I would like to wish my dear friend Tracey Happy Birthday,

Unfortunately I can't show you the card I made for her yet as I have to give Tracey the card first.

Here is my postcard for Darcy's challenge. I am a bit later than usual posing it but it is finally here.

I don't know if Hotel Chocolat originated in Belgium but I had the ribbon and it suited the card so I used it. I coluoured the stamped images with my Polychromos and stuck them on with 3d foam pads,  coloured the flag with my Neo colours (a bargain not to be missed as I was informed by Anita they are like magic!) Oh! and they are!

And here is the back of the postcard.

It reads:-

Dear Spencer,

No regrets, I had a wonderful time. I return the ring to Harry this week, wish me luck.

No need to call let's keep up the postcards it's more fun.

P.s. I'm in Belgium at the moment eating lots of lovely chocolates.

Penny. (although I have just realised I haven't signed it off from penny ooops!!).

Thanks you for reading and also thank you for taking the time to leave comments, I will be popping to everyone's blog on Thurs/Fri.

Until next time,

Postcard From Paris - Week 5

So week 5 has arrived already! here is my card for Darcy's Challenge.

The card was sent from Paris and I really had the urge to use my sewing machine so I sewed the edges of the flag for some texture.

Here is the back of the card

It reads:-

Dear Penny,

I'm in Paris the romantic city, and thinking of you. Hope you don't have any regrets.

Shall I call you?

Spencer

I do apologise that I didn't get round to many blogs this week but I will try harder this time and catch up.

Thank you for your comments as always I love reading them, I wonder where the next country will be.

Brazil Week 3 of Darcy's postcard Challenge

This is my postcard for week three of Darcy's postcard challenge. And it was a challenge this week as I didn't know what I could do for the postcard, so I decided to use the flag colours and the famous carnival< I sat and crocheted the flowers and thought what I could do while I was crocheting and I came up with the idea of a mask and lots of bling!

The back of the postcard,

Reads:-

Dear Penny,

Let's meet and reunite you with this ring. I'm in Brazil at the moment but will have a stop over in London on Wed 1st Feb 2012. Meet me at the bar in Claridges Hotel at 8pm, there will be a cocktail waiting for you at the bar - I will be in my uniform. By the way 'Im intrigued, you say it's no longer yours, I imagine a girl doesn't easily give up a diamond this big!

I hope you like it and thank you all again for all of the lovely comments, I am loving this challenge so much, why didn't they do something like this at school so I enjoyed geography?

I am so looking forward to the next country.

until next time.

Postcard Challenge week 2 - Spain

Yay!! week 2 of Darcy's Postcard challenge has arrived!

The country for this week is Spain. I chose Madrid as this is the fashion capital of Spain and it fits so well with my story, I decorated my postcard with Tim Holtz sewing room die and Tag and bookplates. I added some thread, a wooden button, pearls, lace and brads and glossy accents crackle. I also printed an old map from google images and used this for the background. 

And on the back of the card I made a template on the PC added the word postcard in Spanish ( I hope it's right :0/ ) I also added an old Spanish stamp I found in my stash.

The postcard reads:

Dear Captain Spencer Everett,

Thank goodness you found my purse.You see the item inside no longer mine and I need to return it A.S.A.P. We need to meet but it seems we are both regular travellers. I am a fashion designer and am often overseas, as you'll see from the card i am in Madrid at the moment.If you you would please let me know when you are next in London I will arrange to pick up the purse.

Yours Gratefully,

Penny.

I hope you are enjoying the story so far?

I am really enjoying the challenge and already looking forward to Monday to find out the next Country.

Also taking part in the challenge are my lovely close friends:

Tracey

Anita

Margaret
