Heart CHC

 Hi Everyone, my DT post today is for

 Crafting Happiness Challenges

  The theme for this month is "LOVE"

  

I cheated a bit on this one, as I had already done a slate heart, it was a present for my Niece. I had already made one each for my brothers and their wives. I don't usually give my nieces presents, but as we were seeing her over the holidays, I felt I had to, so this was the result, something for her house. I chose something to do with Wales for this, as she lives in England. I love doing things in the Welsh language. I can read it out loud, but not speak it, the shame of it. blushing!

I found this Welsh verse on the web and I designed it all in my Silhouette program, using the Daffodil our National flower and the Red Dragon from our flag.  The images were cut and the verse from different coloured vinyl and attached it to the slate. Sounds easy doesn't it? It was a bit of a so and so to get it right. As you can see with the verse letters, they kept coming off with the vinyl and me reattaching them, it doesn't look too bad, but I wish they were straighter. Well! it makes it look rustic! 😉

Croeso means - Welcome 

The verse translated means -

This house runs on Love and Happiness.

 

slate heart - The Works

vinyl - Oracle 151

daffodil - a mix of images I have

dragon - the web

Silhouette Cameo

 I hope to see you in the Challenge, it lasts all month.

Daffodils!

Hi Everyone, my card today is of daffodils! Yep! one of my favourite Spring flowers. It's for the Outlawz sketch challenge this week. I got to the end of the card and wondered how I had chosen things! autopilot? or short term memory loss, old age? I don't know, but, I really like it's colours. Anyhow here it is -

dp's - Aimee Harrison

 I had them in 2012, so shouldn't think they are still available, 

such a shame as it's a beautiful kit.

freebie border - Penny Duncan

again not sure if it is still available.

all card - Dovecraft

daffodil flower - Silhouette store, using sketch pens before cutting 

everything cut on the cameo.

this is the sketch for this week

Seeing as my subject is Daffodils! I thought I would show you a scrapbook page of our Spring flowers BEFORE the big freeze we are being promised comes in next week, and I expect, ruins them?

These were taken on 22nd February a cloudier day, but made better with the colours of these flowers. 

A Daffodil card

Hi Everyone. Yes! a Daffodil card, wrong season. Why? because I saw this card by Darcy and it is linked to an Outlawz challenge. Well I HAD to join didn't I?

I used a "quick page! for the background and 2 half doily dies to place the Cameo cut daffodil on to. I have had the daffodil file for a long while and hadn't got around to using it, you know how it is. I then added a gold Uniball gold glitter pen around part of the petals.

Now to this Season on the 27th Aug, this sky appeared to us, I have never seen a sky around here like this so had to take photos of it, Yep! I know I am mad for skies, love the effects so different all the time. The last 3 are closeups of the cloud formation. The last one includes some collard doves cuddling up together Aw!

Daffodil box

Hi Everyone
My next door neighbour had made crocheted daffodils, so I asked her if she would make one each for my SIL and 3 nieces. They are a special memory for them of my brother.

I made a favour gift box by Crafticious and used daffodil DP paper by Julie C Designs.  I had just the right colour green tissue paper and made a topper with Spellbinders Moroccan Accents added to ribbon.
