Saturated Canary Birthday...and Snuggles..

This is a birthday card I made this week for my friend Dorothy. I love this image from Saturated Canary she's called Nevaeh and is a dream to colour. The papers  are from Papermania, pearls, ribbon and charm are from Mei Flower. Time to celebrate sentiment from LOTV and the other one is a download but I'm afraid I never marked the file so I'm not sure where it came from

 Now who on earth is Snuggles I hear you ask......well he's a rather mischievous little bear who plays in my craft room, always getting up to something and he loves ribbons...especially pink ones....though he would never admit to it...lol..........say Hello Snuggles.....

Oh! and I forgot to mention he's very very cheeky!!!. He has lots of friends who come round to play and make a mess and then he blames me....lol.

Pop by again and see what he gets up to this week.....

Happy crafting

Veronica's Designs has a New name.......

Hi!  just a short post today to let all my lovely followers of Veronica's Designs know that I have changed my Blog name to 

BEARY KRAFTI.

   I felt it was time for a change, and I decided to incorporate my life long passion for Teddy Bears with my new name.

Beary Krafti will be a place for me to share my creative makes and no doubt you will see a few little Beary friends popping up from time to time...lol  My little family of bears at home seem to appear in every room and get themselves into all sorts of mischief........ so watch out for them on here.

Thanks for your visit and I hope you will come back soon

Hugs

Spectacular at 70.....

This card is for a lady soon to be celebrating her 70th Birthday. She keeps fit by cycling and often goes abroad on cycling holidays with her Husband. Among other things she also enjoys Zumba so as you can see I couldn't resist a little bit of humour  and I have inserted a cartoon on the inside flap of the card. I'm sure she'll enjoy it !

I have several bicycle images in my digi collection but none of them suitable as they all had children on them. I found this bicycle image at Rhoda Design Studio and coloured it with Copics to make it a bit more feminine. There are 4 images in the bundle.

The paper is from Papermania, the metal corners and flowers all from Wild Orchid Crafts. Organza ribbon from Mei Flower and I also used the arch border punch from Martha Stewart.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I hope you enjoyed being here.

Happy crafting

My Fist SMASH pages.....

 My first double page done at last, all about Crafting.....

 A little bit of journalism below the pics........

I have altered the front cover with Washi tape down the side and I wiped the whole surface with a Siver Pigmant Ink Pad. Keeping it simple.......

***********

Hi, today I'd like to share my first smash book pages with you. I've had this Pink Smash book since the October Craft fair at the SECC in Glasgow last year and have finally managed to get some time to make a start on it.

It's a little bit daunting at first with all those lovely empty pages staring back at you  but once I got started the ideas flowed.  I've been gathering loads of pics and ideas from Pintrest and I found a few scrap booking HOTP books I've had for years and forgot about. Hopefully I might get some time again today to do another couple of pages. It's amazing how much stuff I found once I started going through my stash.

If you have time I'd appreciate any comments you care to leave or any Smash tips you can pass on.

Thanks for popping in.
