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.
The theme is "Button it up"
We would love you to join in.

Now on to my project.







Items used.
Image (Ari & Toby)
White cardstock.
Red cardstock.
Pink Glitter card.
Promarkers.
Red heart buttons to match the coat (From my stash)

For some reason Blogger wouldn't let me.
The stamp has one tie on, so I stamped it 3 times & stuck them on the card.

Secret Santa blog-hop & some of my favourite projects over the past year x

Hi everyone,
We are having a Secret Santa Blog-hop over in "Through the Purple Haze"
With me being a new member of the Design Team,
I wasn't part of it,
I was invited to take part, but felt it was short notice.
I'm sure you would enjoy seeing what the Design Team got from their
 
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
