Tornado’s and JM and Hanglar

Hello dear friends !!!

So sorry my post is so late. It has been awful here. We have had tornado’s and such bad storms. I have never prayed so hard in my life.

If you click on this link you will see what we have had. I live in a mobile home and I was very lucky to still have my home. Some of these people weren’t so  lucky. My friend’s house was right in the middle of this mess here and they still have there home but  all the tree’s are down. Horse’s were took in not one but 2 storms only a few hours apart. Cows were even put in tree’s.  I have never seen anything like this so close to home before and I Thank God we are all okay. I just got power but my daughter is not so lucky they are still out of power it has been 2 1/2 days for them.  So I probably won’t be around much for a few days, for now is the time to pitch in and help those who are in need.  Lots and lots of work to do.

So I am making a fast post of my card for Just Magnolia and Hanglar Challenge Blog today. The theme is Friends by my dear teamie Jacqui.

I used these cute Tilda’s papers from K&Co. and I used some dies from My Favorite Things. Ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl. and I used the ticket sentiment from Whimsy Stamps.

Thanks for stopping bye and again so sorry this is late in posting. Please pray for all these people here who are in need of your prayers. I know this happens all the time but I have never had it so close to me before and I never want to go through this again. Sending Big Hugs

Altered Box

First off I want to say so sorry about these bad photo’s.  I have tried every which way to photograph this box and nothing is helping. The light outside is so dark due to the rain, but I do hope you can see somewhat of what I have done.

 

This is a wooden box I bought at Michaels a long time ago and have been working on this off and on for my granddaughter for her birthday and since it was about time for her birthday I figured I better get it done lol

I adhered some papers from MME to the box and distressed them with Walnut Ink. I then used some Crackle Paint for the top edge. This wanted to flake off so I sealed it with some sealer to keep it on. I used this cute Tilda image that was colored with my copics and some gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The ribbon is some ribbon from The Ribbon Girl and I made a double tailed bow I learnt from Becca over at Amazing Paper Grace. She is the bow queen. I added some lace that I got from Joann’s and you can see a better pic of that below in one of the pictures.

 

Here is a side view

And a closer picture of the top.

Here is the box opened up it has several compartments so I lifted one up so you could see .

Well again sorry for the bad pictures. But thanks so much for stopping bye and visiting me today. Big Hugs (((((((())))))))))))

The Sugar Bowl

Thanks so much for stopping bye today. I have a card to show you today that I made for The Sugar Bowl. This is Off on an Adventure by Mary Hall for Sugar Nellie .  I have colored him with my copic’s and I used one of my new doliy dies by Cheery Lynn Designs. Oh these doily's are just breath taking. So much detail into them.

I used the sketch over at The Sugar Bowl for my card and added some brads and spacers in each of the corners of the card and added some Seam Binding Ribbon I won from over at The Ribbon Girl.

Well that is it for me today. I am scheduling my posts so I do hope they are going off as scheduled lol Working 12 hours again so crafting time is really scarce.

Have a great day everyone. And again thanks for stopping bye.
