Some more of Jean's cards on the blog.

Thanks Jean. I will be continuing my story probably tomorrow. Glad you like the cards

Lovely cards Ann, I am sure I had some of the type of toppers you like so I will have a look . I have done some more cards today all the B/Girls unsealed but now I knowI have them.... wanted to do some for littlies but not a lot pf choice and we have had so much snow today going out is not on.... I was hoping to get to Range...
also mothers day is early this year as is Easter s and there is Valentines to make too.... :-D :-D :-D

I have just read your story on the Welsh thread, It is so good, and reminds me of my childhood.... I have a cousin in Tenby who was in his eighties and wrote the same thing and his daughter had it put on a c.d as a present and they sent me a copy so its great reading...well done you... <3 <3 <3

Hope your coughs and colds are much improved, still no news about Sallie I do hope and pray all is well with them all, same fo Mo and Roly I think their anniversary is at the end of the Feb....

Off to watch Em.....elove Jean xxx <3

Four more of my cards on the blog.

I made two but haven't had much time today. Both the ones I made were from the Hunky dory Decadent moments, Art Deco ladies. Very pleased with both of them. will try and remember to take photos tomorrow when the light is ok.

Hi, all I have managed to do seven more cards today, two 8x8 embossed ones, plus some square 5x5 and A6 ones.also one happy mistake that came out much better than I thought, it was added to a die cut to make the middle that hadnt cut through ,so I was going to bin it as spare bits, but it turned out as a fold back front stuck on a card,
well impressed, to dark to take pics will try again tomorrow...the new grand calibur came and is much improved so far I am delighted with it means I can sit down some of the time, :-D :-D

love Jean xx <3

Thanks Ann, yes I do them for the local hospice and the disable trust centre were D works......

Pics on the craft blog Jean. Probably only you and I that look at it these days. Nice cards though. Do yous till give some for charity?

pics sent Ann love Jean x

OK Jean. I now have the Papermania case for holding dies and it is excellent. I couldn't see it in Hobbycraft so used an Amazon voucher to buy it. Then they had them in The Range for the same price. Luckily I had it post free from Amazon, ordered Saturday and delivered Monday. Just need to find somewhere I can set up the Big Shot without having to keep clearing space in here.

I am due to get into Range next week there are some household stuff we need, so will have a look for the puffy toppers, ....
I have made six cards , I used the e-bosser to do some 5x5 cards with the new dies, I had loads of envelopes but no cards , lots of card stock so good way to use them up... I also took pics so I will send them when darling daughter puts them on for me....

love Jean xx <3

Glad you liked the cards Jean. The Puffy stickers were in the children's craft section of the Range and were £1 a sheet, I made five cards from them for charity.

Win I have sent you a P.M.

Hi Jean if you still have your Cuttle Bug offered. I would love it. As you can imagine we have no craft stores here in Cyprus so craft tools are hard to come by. Your Cuttle Bug would be great to share with crafters here. If it's yes let me know postage and I'll send you a cheque or transfer monies to your internet banking.....I don't have Paypal .
Luv Wynn x

Lovely cards Ann , Love the puffy one, good idea for our littlies 2nd birthday in Feb...
thanks for sharing them I have left a comment....

Love Jean xx

Hello Ann, I had a go with the cuttlebug and found it very hard to use , so hard for me to turn the handle, it works fine. so one free cuttlebug complete with instructions and new plates going free other than postage or collect , if anyone wants it, J has just bought me the new improved Grand Calibur for my 80th birthday so I can sit and still do larger sizes. seems daft when i had one but , the newest model is much improved . and I am not improving....lol....stiil use the e Bosser but have to stand to use it, so thought I would cover all areas.... ;-) ;-) ;-)
made a couple of cards yesterday.....

you have done very well Ann, I do like hunkydory stuff. any pics? :-D :-D

hope you and T are getting over the coughs and colds, I am going to add on general chat now, so take care .

Love Jean xx <3

I have just made 11 cards using the Hunkydory toppers daughter gave me for Christmas. (she gave me quite a few of them. I have made 5 Christmas cards for the box for next year, 3 birthday, 3 anniversary) Very pleased with them. Decadent moments and Festive Decadence. :-D

Thanks Jean I will look at that.

Not really feeling better just wish it would go away, legs feel so weak and get up and go is long gone. Maybe tomorrow I will feel better!! :-)
