It was my birthday yesterday so had a lovely day, Alan took me out for lunch and then Sarah came over after work with cake lol. </p><p>It is a sad month for me as I have had to give up a couple of my Design Team Spots, Polkadoodles Gem of a Craft Challenge and Allsorts Weekly Challenge Blog. Due to other commitments I was not able to keep up with the commenting and was finding it difficult so after much discussion and deliberation decided for my health and the teams it was best that I resigned.</p><p>I have made a card which I would like to showcase, I think I told you all that I was buying a Gelli Plate so have had a bit of a play think I need to keep watching YouTube demo's as I don't think I have it quite right yet but here is a card I came up with, used the Gelli Plate to create the background and stamped the flower. I really need more practice.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtZ3cF5GO5eS1gEpKSaUkx112D1Kw03i7NNgR96yPdfZ38IctjKbLeCq5fN-_JLmq6K5tlg8ftztn3fqU30XMLDV-AVBquQG4duToKj8lR2i2Gd-a6w2hqq46iBfwawcfIEBNB4qz26aLs4YLiQlSmf1h493zGgm2pfZzYTWV1meUlDzfOvYhBswRXpQ=s2636" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Scrunched up plumbing tape and layer all over board then using a ball tool made sure all the edges of images were defined and then used the roller ball to go over the rest of the board. Covered with black acrylic paint with a sponge then left for 10 minutes before taking a cloth and wiping the painted surface to make the image look like burnished metal. Cover with three coats of varnish leaving each coat to dry all finished</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Will pop by later to comment on your blogs</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Love Alison</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Crafts-by-Alison.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034973835170980713noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839206119970227780.post-83953270512800738342021-12-12T12:35:00.003+00:002021-12-12T12:35:34.353+00:00Feeling Sad<p> Afternoon all</p><p>I am a bit sad today, I have been speaking to my eldest brother this morning and he has told me he is on his own this year for Christmas. His eldest son has been very ill this year in and out of hospital and usually Bill goes to them as Richard helps my brother by carrying him up the steps to the house ( my brother had his leg removed a couple of years ago and now his good leg is playing up so he is unable to stand due to extreme pain). His youngest son recently split with his wife and so he is going to his mum’s with the children, again too many steps for my brother to get into the house.</p><p>He lives around 300 miles from me and only has two bedrooms and as Sarah our youngest is with us over Christmas there is not enough room for us to visit him and I live in a 1 bedroom bungalow so no room for him to come here. I am distressed at the thought of him being on his own.</p><p>Sorry just needed to explode. I am showcasing another card which was commissioned and hope you like it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwgCqeaHK24k6ckIFq7Gl8ti9GwYbYs5211aBIOxH4cFhYCE_qfoGVOYBgrEWeIH2O8kVH9oZcVK7UpkD0wYuqaIrwtJ24RoxU49EJ0FB7XB9oe_Bu3H5XSFbvz9ISpCp0VX_sNFLJMWKWVzb_RU-KfMg2tgHM0nfrt4W780cDIb8KcWctIX3Wy5CcUA=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2030" data-original-width="2048" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwgCqeaHK24k6ckIFq7Gl8ti9GwYbYs5211aBIOxH4cFhYCE_qfoGVOYBgrEWeIH2O8kVH9oZcVK7UpkD0wYuqaIrwtJ24RoxU49EJ0FB7XB9oe_Bu3H5XSFbvz9ISpCp0VX_sNFLJMWKWVzb_RU-KfMg2tgHM0nfrt4W780cDIb8KcWctIX3Wy5CcUA=w400-h396" width="400" /></a></div><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well that’s it for now sorry for burbling all over you </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Love Alison</div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Crafts-by-Alison.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034973835170980713noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839206119970227780.post-5496123208486385092021-12-11T17:22:00.002+00:002021-12-11T17:22:18.650+00:00Very Quiet Day<p> Evening everybody</p><p>Hope you are all keeping well and safe.

Its been a horrid day here on Dartmoor, raining most of it. I went to the pub this morning for a crafty play. It was £5.00 and we made a Christmas Cracker table centre piece it was fun. The centre bit comes apart so you can put presents in it. If anyone wants to know how to make it let me know and I will do a tutorial</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYHtOdnGnSEDudRQB4amEiIQm2OxPO2AY7Q_p4J3B-ubGt8J9XxjWlvfOe_M9EhwsLcOLu_7c4qRnTFswa2eTNiKNuTvIKubA5bqXhBxpjkH-WGzBvfWZU_H245M8QcLzzf0umimkIqK33YLjNuo8kxin6jQR-4a5DrDdjLzW6E9b2n7MUSNHkwQNYPg=s2596" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="2596" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYHtOdnGnSEDudRQB4amEiIQm2OxPO2AY7Q_p4J3B-ubGt8J9XxjWlvfOe_M9EhwsLcOLu_7c4qRnTFswa2eTNiKNuTvIKubA5bqXhBxpjkH-WGzBvfWZU_H245M8QcLzzf0umimkIqK33YLjNuo8kxin6jQR-4a5DrDdjLzW6E9b2n7MUSNHkwQNYPg=w400-h103" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>I then came home and have spent the afternoon catching up on some orders that I have for Christmas Cards, will post photo's over the next few days.</p><p>Have you been over to <a href="https://pinkgemchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Gem of a Craft Challenge</a> yet the challenge is still open so why not go ahead and take part you never know you might win.</p><p>Alan was making chicken curry for tea but as we forgot to take the chicken out last night and its still not fully defrosted think we may be having something else.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Well that's it from me for now will be along to check your lovely blogs as soon as I can.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Love Alison xx </p>Crafts-by-Alison.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034973835170980713noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839206119970227780.post-24983511691956153972021-12-08T13:07:00.002+00:002021-12-08T13:07:10.058+00:00Double Z card<p>Afternoon all</p><p>Sorry been very busy so not posted for a few days or even commented.
