Nan's Birthday Present. 96 Yesterday.

Hello,

It's great to have completed another project.  I have finished a canvas for Nan for her birthday.  Nan turned 96 yesterday.  We will pop down to see her and other family members on the weekend.  The photo on the canvas is of Nan's mum and dad.  I imagine if they were alive now , they would be approximately 116 years old. 

I have decided to enter this into the One Stop Craft challenge blog   (Alter It)

I have used the following products.

Ribbon                           From my stash
Flowers:                         Individual flowers (Prima)  Flowers on a vine  (Prima)
Background Heart:         Websters Pages  Vellum & diecut kit.
Paper:                            Graphic 45  Le Romatique Collection  Loves Labyrinth. (Apricot Rose Paper)
                                      Graphic 45  Baby 2 Brice Collection   Love is blue         (Green small flower)
                                      Graphic 45  Baby 2 Bride Collection   From this momwnt (Pale Apricot rose)
                                      Graphic 45   Green striped paper (not sure of collection)
                                      Kaiser Craft  Empire Collection                                        (blue paper)

I also used a clip on earring, purchased from a second hand store.


The sentiment is from Creative Memories and it reads:

"In every conceivable manner, the family  is link to our past, bridge to our future."



Have a great afternoon.  It is looking a bit stormy this afternoon.
The dog from down the road , has just escaped from her backyard, and is presently paying me a visit.       

Vintage Tag

Good Afternoon,

It is not too bad a spring day here today.   Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I am entering the challenge at Our Vintage Affair.  You have to see some of the work entered. There are some really talented crafters out there.  I made the vintage tag to match Nans birthday card that I made here.  The photo on the tag is of nan when she was in her early 20's. A little bit of a pose for the camera there Nan! I also made a matching bag. As mentioned in a previous post  I was inspired by the bags made by Sherry  at Creations from my heart.. (She does some beautiful crafting)

Flowers:   Prima (large flowers)    Flowers in a bunch (From my stash)
Paper :      Blueberry Hill  Papermania , Stampin Up DSP & Stampin Up Cardstock  Rich Razzleberry & Crumb Cake
Material:   From my leftover material box. (Material behind photo  Pink flowers)
Ribbon:     From my stash.

Ink:            Rich Razzleberry

All the best

Inspiration Photo

Afternoon,

Well this is definately a Vintage Photo!!  The photo is of me sitting on Santa's lap, when I was approximately five years old.  I was blog hopping (As I do) and I saw the Challenge at Colour Create Challenge blog. The challenge is to create a project using Red, Gold, White or Cream. (With the optional extra of Oriental or Christmas.)

I will also link to  Simon Says stamp hop challenge. Their challenge involves creating a project relating to either, Thanksgiving, Halloween, or Christmas.

The card recipe is as follows:

Paper: Dark Red (Striped)  Deck the Halls  Rusty Pickle.   Deck the Hollies (Spotted) Cosmo Cricket.  Red (Holly) Mitten Weather Cosmo Cricket.  Cream coloured paper from my stash.
Gold Vine.  I purchased it from Lincraft. Sold off the spool.
Gold Flowers.  I have had these for absolutely ever, and have always been annoyed with them. I actually found a good use for them!!

Brads.  From my stash.

Well I really must go...........    I think the dog is up to some mischief....

Bye
