My card for "Love to create" I'm so pleased to be a guest designer.....................

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't been about much lately,

I've been quite busy with Reg not being 100% & my insomnia doesn't help.

I'm doing everything to try & get a good sleep pattern.
In December last year I was asked if I was interested in being a guest designer for
LOVE TO CREATE.
Needless to say I jumped at the chance,
I was given this adorable image to work with.

Now onto the challenge.

I decided I would post several of my favourite projects from 2013.

My daughter & son-in-laws
Wedding anniversary.
My late husband (Alan) was so proud on this special day.

 

Sylvia & Stuart,

Sweetheart from 14 years old.

 

My husbands birthday.

That's his photograph on the card.

(He was 17 when it was taken)

Many years ago.........

 

 

 Our Wedding anniversary.

 

I love Monochrome.

 

Curtains I made for the lounge.

 

 

I bought this box in a charity shop,

I think it was only a few pounds

 

 

I decided to alter it,

So I made myself another sewing-box,

I added all these items inside the lid.

 

I painted it, Then put lace & ribbon round it.

 

 

Result..... one sewing-box for a few pounds.

 

A trinket box for my grand-daughter (Toni)

I made this from an old book.

 

I made this "Grandfather clock" from recycled cardboard.

It's actually 3D.

 

 

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog,

I really appreciate your comments.

 

Lots of love,

Sylvia X
