Elvie's Crafty Corner

Just thought I would say hello to everyone. I'm still around! but sadly haven't made any cards for months now. I have discovered Patchwork and quilting which is all too consuming, but I love it. The bonus is that you get to keep your little masterpieces. This is a Christmas Table Runner I have just finished, its reversible. I really want to get back into papercrafts because I have a room full of stash. So hope to be adding something very soon. Take Care everyone Linda xx

I think I should rename my Blog 'Elvie's Invisible Corner' as I have very few visitors and even less comments. So how do you get your blog visitors, all answers on a postcard please.... lol So this is my first Easel card, a bit slow aren't I.

I just cant get into my cards these days, this is the first in weeks and today I have to make a card for my Son's 30th and my Grand Daughters 8th, so if anyone knows where I can find my Mojo, please shout loudly!!

I've lost my Mojo so thought I would add these to my blog just to keep it ticking over. I'm busy decorating two bedrooms for my Daughter so little time for crafting. But I'll be back soon.

This is the new Stampin Up Razzleberry card paper and inks and ribbon,the dandelion stamp is one of my all time favourites from Hero Arts

Using my new magnolia Watering can stamp, which I love.

My last Pazzels card before I sold it and went back to a Cricut. Also the kit card I sent to Marleen. Decided I must update my Blog more often. I should also find out how to add Candy.

The Mono card was made using the kit I received from Marleen, a do-craft member. The Brown card is using V&A papers and a House Mouse image, SU sentiment.

After almost giving up and selling my Pazzels I think I have at last got to grips with it. A long long way to go before I can use it to its full potential though. The Turquoise card has the negative cut from the Purple one.

Pink Petticoat Papers with a HOTP image,made this for Loretta's Challenge.

I have had to have a major overhall of my Blog due to it being re-directed all the time to an adversising site. So lots of my gadgets had to be removed, including my counter. Well I didn't have many visits, about 700 but now I have to start again. I'll have to find out how to add blog candy to get my numbers up. Oh the joys of technology. At least Johnny Depp is still in place!

Hot off the Press Papers with 'Isabella' from Digistamp Boutique. Fiskars Border Punch threaded with ribbon.

My first effort with this MS punch, which I love, its slightly off, but I'm trying to perfect it. Image is 'Sophie' from Digistamp Boutique, and the sentiment is from Stampin Up.

Good Morning, March already, and now I can say, Next Month I will be 60! and not too long to wait for the Cruise. I almost gave up on this card, I just couldn't get it right, but left it overnight and the next day it came together ok.

My first card using SU cardstock and Sentiment Stamp, still trying to master the art of using Copic Markers, I have a long way to go!! This card is also for my Mum, who is sadly no longer with us, Happy Birthday Mum xxx

Really ought to do some Housework!!

I really must get off the PC and actually make something with all the stash I keep buying, esp my lovely new 'Stampin up' papers, card and stamps.

I have been very lazy of late adding to my Blog, so here are a couple of my latest offerings. One is for baby Noah's christening, purple Tilda was for a friend who has gone to Oz for a year, lastly a forum members Birthday.

My Daughter is going to be Godmother to Noah so She asked me to make a card for her, it took me a long time to find the inspiration, but I got there in the end. Its a Mo's Digital pencil Image.

This card is a Challenge card using a GG image and 'My favourite things' those being, the colour Green, Flowers and Ribbon.

I made this card using the free stamp from 'Craft Stamper' it was designed by Glenda from Elusive Images, the background stamp is by Anna griffin. All stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. The 'Love' stamp is from Stampendous. Finding it hard to get back into my card making since the xmas overload. Although I have made some ATC's for swapping. The trouble is my craft room is quite cold, and with all this snow around its far too tempting to stay in the warm.
