Crafting Cafe Blog Hop - Lets Celebrate

Hiya crafty friends, 

Today I am excited to welcome you to my 2nd Crafting Cafe blog hop. The Crafting Cafe is a fantastic and friendly group of crafters on Facebook, who share their crafting passion with each other....why not pop over and join us.

If you have started from the beginning of the hop you will have found me through Amanda. If you found this hop by accident ...

To start at the beginning of the hop, which wil enable you tosee the beautiful creations from everyone, pop on over and start at Nikki's blog

The theme for our blog hop is

Celebration

...which is quite well timed for me as it's my dad's birthday, my birthday and my mums birthday all with two weeks of each other.

This is the card that I have made

I absolutely LOVE Lili Of The Valley. I just wish I had more in my collection. Every time I went to my local Craft Fair, it was one of the first stalls I went to and ended up standing there for ages because I was spoilt for choice and didn't know which ones to get...lol! Unfortunately, they don't do my local craft fair anymore :(

I coloured the image with my Promarkers...

...and used some 3D glaze on the balloon to add some dimension and shine.

Thank you for hopping over to see me, now it's time to hop on over to the next blog. Next on the list is........ Andree.

Happy hopping!

Crafting Cafe Blog Hop

Hi crafty friends,

Welcome to the first ever crafting cafe blog hop - the crafting cafe is a friendly group of crafters over on facebook who share their crafting journey together.... come on over and join us if you want to.

If you have started from the beginning of the hop you will have got to me from the lovely Celia Harrington site http://celiascardcreations.blogspot.co.uk/.... If you found this hop by accident - welcome! To go to the beginning of the hop, pop on over to Nikki's blog www.what-nikki-did-next.blogspot.com, and then you will get to see the beautiful creations from everyone!

The theme for our blog hop is friendship, and this is the card that I have made.

Lily of the Valley stamp, coloured with Promarkers

Very easy scrunch flowers (there will be a tutorial for these soon), and die cut Ivy using a Marianne Designs die

Sentiment - die cut using a x-cut scallop square die, and the coloured with distress ink

Soon as the theme was announced I knew who I was going to dedicate this card to. She has been a wonderful friend to me for 21 years. She is such a strong and inspiring lady, and I am honoured to call her my friend, actually one of my best friends. Even though I have only met her face to face twice...as she lives over four and half thousands miles away from me! 


Her name is Michelle and she lives in Seattle, USA.


Thank you for your wonderful friendship, Michelle. It is something I treasure, always.

Left to right: Janice, me and Michelle
