White, black silver and another colour at Just for Fun

Here I am back to crafting after a week away and I was feeling sorry for myselmissing last weeks challenge at Just for fun. I needn't have been sad cause it is almosthe same this week but with an extra colour to play with here.

I had this idea for some of my Christmas 'Cards' cause I am fed-up of the same old thing. So I thought I would make a smaller version for this challenge but make it a birthday card instead.

Here is the card as you would send it--the charm isn't one I made I got it in a charm swap a while ago. I did stray a bit with the mauve on the umbrella--sorry. My added colour is dark pink.


Inside of the card with room to write a message--hopefully lol


And now for the real difference--you can hang it up somewhere--not on a door handle really :)


Here are some of the Christmas ones I have made-they fold up to send and haveo match so you can write a greeting. The silver bits are a pack of muffin bases I bought for 50p at the car boot sale--still a lot left yet.

    What a brilliant idea. I love it - and don't they look great displayed altogether like that.
    Love the one you have done for the JFF Challenge and I am sure the colour on the umbrella is just a shade of the deep pink you have used. I think the shrinky charm is an image from Elusive Images.
    Thanks for joining us at JFF - Hugs, Neet x

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
