Femme Fatale

Hi just a quick post .
Welcome to my room and thanks for calling in . Still hot here and my carer role keeping me quite busy .
Doug and I could stand it no more and went out early this morning , gophered to our favourite trail .

Had some mighty windy storms here  recently so there were many trees suffering such as this one . A huge branch fallen .

And the Koala we saw seemed really lethargic .

 

I have managed a couple of cards as I was quite excited by the arrival of some new CDs from Kraftyhands .I am so far behind my DT samples that I thought I had better front up with these .

                
Femme Fatale CD Collection now available

You will find the CD here ...
OOPS sorry this is a longer post than I thought that it would be .

   Catch you again soon , cheers for now Shirley-Anne.

Tags created for Kraftyhands

Hi there , welcome to my room . Thank you for calling in .
Super chuffed at seeing new followers .Thanks guys .

Tonight I am showing off some tags I made recently when a new CD came from Kraftyhands
Will have more samples soon now that all family visits are over .

.
Two tags to share .

 

.I covered the precut tag  with paper which  I printed from the CD. Image from Mono Toppers, Kraftyhands. I layered this onto Bashful Blue card from SU, with foam pads , giving a small border. I adhered this to tag with  double sided tape .
 Ribbon and Crystal Stickers also from Kraftyhands .
                                                                                          #2 Tag

I have tried something different with this tag
I wrapped string around the tag and secured at back .
Using SU Brayer and Basic Black ink I created my own background .
Sentiment is printed from CD and adhered to tag with foam pads , while ribbon and Crystal Stickers from Kraftyhands were added .
Hope you like!

This is the fabulous CD

Hi there crafting , blogging buddies .
Welcome to my room .

Gosh,  I enjoy your visits and appreciate encouraging comments when you leave them .
Thanks for calling in and I hope that you enjoy your visit .

Had a fabulous  Friday afternoon with Jane . I have been so busy this week with family visit and general mundane life stuff that I had no cards and kits made up for my craft days so Jane came today , prepared to take pot luck and to do her own thing .

What I ended up doing , seeing as how my order from Kraftyhands had just turned up , was to give her free reign to create  three cards .

With a little input from myself and now with  her permission here are her cards ...

                             

Card and sentiment from SU .

Equestrian Events Post Card Topper from Kraftyhands ,

 

 

Card from my stash .Paper from Man About Town 6x6  Paper  Stack , Kraftyhands.

Sentiment from SU

                                                Card and paper from my stash .

In between running around looking after Doug's needs and making cuppa for all,  I did manage to play too .
My one card for afternoon .

                             Card and bow from my stash . 5" Square doily   from Kraftyhands .
                        Fabulous floral paper from 6x6 Kew floral collection Paper Stack , Kraftyhands.
                                                                  And inside ..

I am sure Jane was happy with her makes and now has a couple of spare masculine cards ready for when needed .
Hope now that,  you my visitor , enjoyed seeing our afternoon' s  work ...WORK????
