Omg, just over 2 months since I last blogged, I'm useless, but having said that, I haven't missed blogging either, with the summer hols and having to keep Shane amused, I didn't have much time to blog, plus I got hooked on Facebook, but I'm over it now!!! Inbetween FB and child rearing I managed to get a few cards made. I also bought a new table from Ikea, one of those ones where you pick the top

Well yet again I've lapsed in updating my blog, I have all the best intentions in the world to update it every week as doing it everyday would be impossible, but things happen and I never get round to doing it and before I know it a month or more has gone by, that and the fact I lost my mojo and really couldn't come up with any ideas at all. It'll be worse when my son starts the school hols as

No, not done a lot this week, in fact the 2 birthday cards were started last week and finished this week, both of them were for Crafts Beautiful birthday club members. The wedding one was an order off a friend.The colours used on the wedding card are the same as the bridesmaids dresses, I was given the strap off the dress and managed to match it perfectly with some ribbon bought at Stampezee in

How hot is it today???? I've got the back door open, all the internal downstairs doors open, even the front door has been left ajar to let the breeze go through the house. Today I was going to sit and do some ironing, but I gave that idea up as a bad one after only going to hang out washing....I was melting and that was before 11am. So instead I've been on facebook....and it's very addictive,

I didn't have time to finish this, we made it several weeks ago and was made in 2 workshops, lots of cutting and gluing had to be done. I finished this on Friday at home, but only photographed it earlier today. I'm not a scrapbooker, but this may just get me on my way to having ago...I even bought a scrapbook back in February that's just waiting for me to play with.This is called an edgy album

from Friday Sketchers, it was an old challenge, by about a week but I had no intention of entering (it was current when I made my card) I just wanted some inspiration, don't know why I didn't think of doing it before.  You never know maybe one day I may actually enter a challenge, but judging by the standard of entries I don't stand a chance anyway.  Here's the card.The image is Belles 'n'

As I mentioned the other day, I had some other makes that I was going to put on here...well here they are! This was done using alcohol inks, it was the first time any of us had used them and we all agreed that we would use them again.This is the inside of the tin (obviously!!) I did mine wrong, but I can't remember what it was that I did.This was lovely to make but also awkward at the same time,

Thought I might show you some of the photos taken when we went sledging at Elmdon Park back in January when we had all that snow.  We went twice (am I glutton for punishment???) The first time we went I froze, even though I was wrapped up warmly, or so I thought, Shane had left his wellies at school so he had to wear his trainers. His school didn't shut because of the snow, but they had teacher

The following are all that I made at Craft Inspirations workshops, including Christmas ones. I haven't written what punches, embossing folders etc were used as there's just too many to write up about.  That'll teach me not to blog on a regular basis :) All designs were done by Shirley Drew, who tutors all the workshops.

I've spent most of the morning trying to change the layout of my blog .....easier said than done.  I kept getting a message saying there was a problem with the code, anyway I've got it sorted but whenever I sign in I still see my old layout before it changes to the new one and I can't find the old code to delete it, no matter how much I search for it, I've no idea if anyone else sees the old

Well it was for me, seeing as how I was up at 7am just to start catching up on the ironing and finishing off a wee bit of washing.  I don't know why I do it, leave the ironing for ages....then have a mad spurt sitting with the steam press watching old episodes of Dynasty and Melrose Place.  Last night I uploaded all photos that were on my mobile, and two other cameras, then sorted them in to

I've just had a nice relaxing shower without anybody knocking on the bathroom door asking to come in to use the loo, by that I mean Shane, who no matter how many times you ask him if he needs to go to the toilet before either his dad or I have a shower, you can guarantee he'll always come up saying he needs to go to the loo.  Mike had tickets for The Gadget Show at the NEC so they're there for

Just posting these for the moment as I've got a couple of cards to make and get in the post today. The above 2 makes were made using all Craftwork Cards stuff, just looking at the date I made the first one...it was my birthday then!!Btw, that's not a stain on my carpet, it's part of the pattern!! I was in a monochromatic mood when I made these. The top left card is 'Shy Bear', which is very very

Well, it's been 5 months since my last post and guess what?  I can't tell you what I've been doing in all that time apart from that for a while I was suffering from dizziness (vertigo?) and have ended up having my bp tablets dosage increased, as my bp had got higher.  I also had to go to see a gastroentorologist at the end of December because for years I've suffered with tummy/bowel problems and

The lovely Susan over at Saramar has passed this on to me, good job I read her post really carefully or I wouldn't have known I have to write 5 things about me! I then have to pass it on to 5 other people.  So here it goes... 1. I hate racism of any sort, having been a victim of it. 2. I like to help others if I can. 3. I wish I had smaller boobs, in fact I'd like to be a perfect size 10 or 12.,

These are what I've made at Craft Inspirations workshops, with Shirley as ever showing us all what to do. Image is from Stampendous 'Holy Night' and was heat embossed with clear embossing powder after being stamped with Adirondak 'Pitch Black' ink. Unfortunately I don't know what paper was used.  Circles cut with nesties, while the green card was edged with EK Success 'Scalloped Scallop' border

Made a start a few weeks ago on my christmas cards, I've still got a lot more to do. This was an experiment that actually worked!  I stamped the images on to glitter card which doesn't show very well on the photo and very carefully coloured them in with copics. I used versafine ink, then put some kitchen roll over them to blot the ink, though even after doing that the ink was still wet a few

I'm pretty sure this is the first Skater Ian that I've done, I've made another since and forgot to take a photo.  This will go to one of Shane's friends whose birthday is next month. I have to say I was really impressed with this stamp, it's from The Greeting Farm and stamped beautifully.  With some stamps you have to put a lot of pressure on them, not so with this one.  The card candy is from

Did I think it would be a good idea to make a card in black and yellow?  I really don't like this at all, what was I thinking????? Tilda was from a swap, circles cut from nesties, rest is from my stash.

While I was on holiday in August, I went to Dorchester market and bought a few crafty things, with the intention of selling them at the Symondsbury Fete (didn't sell any).  I also went to Traego Mills and The Craft Room in Newton Abbott and bought stuff there as well. Bearing in mind I didn't have a majority of my things, I don't think I did too badly. Flowers are die cut decoupage which had

I've had to record the rest of Strictly as Shane wanted to watch X Factor, so he's stretched out on the floor, like Lord Muck.  Usually when his daddy isn't doing a party (he's a mobile DJ) we have our family night when we watch a dvd of Shane's choice (which can be a bit iffy to say the least!), and have bags of popcorn, so tonight is a bit different for us. Here's another card. Again papers

I'm updating my blog after not doing it for about a month. I think last time I blogged I was getting over a cough.....well I've still got it, can you believe I had another sore throat last Sunday & Monday which has made the cough worse again.  I've spoken to a few people who are worse than me, with full blown flu and their kids have been the same.  Luckily Shane wasn't as bad as them when he was

Just over a month since my last post, what a naughty blogger I've been. Since then I've been on holiday to Dorset for 17 days to stop with friends, and while there we visited my OH uncle in Torquay who's recovering from having a major op after having been diagnosed with bowel cancer. I ended up nipping into Newton Abbot to visit The Craft Room (just like last year) and spent more than I wanted

Here are the final 2 cards from workshops at Craft Inspirations, I was so tired last night I was falling asleep as I was typing.....luckily I was in bed already :)I really enjoyed doing this, this was my introduction to using Derwent Coloursoft Pencils and Sansodor. To spread and blend the colours a paper stump was used, dipped into the Sansodor. I've read about Prismacolours which I think are

This is a selection of cards made in workshops at Craft Inspirations in Sutton Coldfield. How Shirley comes up with all the ideas, I'll never know.I've actually done this wrong, because I kept looking at the original card while it was closed. The opening should be on the left hand side, so imagine the card turned upside down and that would be the right way, and the blank space would be the back

Starting early tonight, as I may be having an early night again due to the fact that I've worked like a trojan in the house again since 7.30 this morning. I was hoping to have a wee bit of a lie in, but my step-dad decided to phone me at 7.15 just to tell me he'd had a message on his answer phone and could I deal with it (he was at work driving an execavator machine). Needless to say he got a

Think I may have denied instead of publishing, so I'm sorry Susan, it wasn't done intentionaly.I've got a few cards made but can't put them on here as they're for birthdays, so can't be seen yet.But I can show these.

I've noticed for a few days now that the counter doesn't seem to be counting my visitors properly, by that I mean it's not counting them all....now it seems to have stopped altogether. Do I try and reload another counter, or just hope that Betty starts counting again.x

I've just googled me and my blog is now listed, must have to wait 24 hours for the change in my settings to take effect. But here's the freaky bit, last night when I googled denyze-densden, every post that I've made on Crafts Beautiful came up. When I did my name only, my 'windows live' page was listed, luckily I wasn't signed in, so now I know to sign out all the time, and my yuku page on

Well almost. I've found another blog that's also called Den's Crafty Den..I only found it as I've changed one of my settings, and when I googled me I wasn't there, but the other one was. Same name but different spelling. I spell my name with a 'y' and the other Den spells her's with an 'i'....which funnily enough is how I used to spell my name when I was about 14 up until my early twenties.Now

I've only recently discovered these fab stamps last month after visiting Stampezee, they're only available online though from Pink Gem Designs. Janet of Pink Gem has created some lovely characters, Max, Jack, Mimi and Milly...Mimi is based on her grand-daughter. Gem the Cairn Terrier is based on her own dog...there's some lovely cutie animals as well.Janet's giving us bloggers the chance to win

I had to go and collect Shane from school as well as my friend's 2. I ended up stopping in her house playing with her tv, as she'd just had Virgin installed, didn't leave until 5.20, good job she's only 4 doors away :) This was done at a work shop at Craft Inspirations in Sutton Coldfield with Shirley. The flourish and greeting is by Inkadinkado 'Wedding 97892' The red corner flourish was done

When I used to live at home with my mum & stepdad, we used to go to a British Legion club. We got to know a couple who used to run the bar when the landlord was on holiday. Sheila is an execellent cake maker and whenever a party was held she was the one who always did the food. She no longer does food for parties any more (she's a pensioner now)but she still makes cakes....we always have her

I came upstairs at least 3 hours ago to do this, and ended up for some reason looking up a group called Mr Mister from the 80's. I have one of their albums 'Welcome To The Real World'. Found some vids on youtube and I sat drooling over the lead singer Richard Page, and I had a nice surprise, he released a song last December 'I Always Cry At Christmas' and it's so beautiful and even though he's

This is my craft room, and as you'll see it's not very big. Not sure if I like all the stuff on the door but no doubt I'll get used to it. Extra shelving was put up yesterday so I could put my stamps on there as there wasn't much room in the drawers. I was surprised to see how many I've actually got.

Been a week since my last update, every now and again I have to do housework!!!!Went to Coventry last Thursday as Shane was off school due to the voting, so we took him to Ikea to pick the colour of the shelves he's having in his room....but before we went to Ikea we went to Stampezee, a friend had recommended that I go there. As usual I spent far too much money. I bought some clear stamps by

Thought I'd gotten up to date, but I forgot there's a couple of cards in the camera and on my phone, so here are the camera ones.This was done some weeks ago at a workshop with Shirley at Craft Inspirations. I was in such a rush to finish it and get home that I got the circles the wrong way round...the bottom one should have been on the top of the scalloped circle and the greeting on that. Never

I've finally caught up with getting cards on here.....note to self 'don't let them pile up again'Went to The Range at Coventry today as I wanted to get some crafty stuff, it was the first time we'd been to this branch, the other branch we visited was in Poole. I have to say that the craft section here was smaller than the one at Poole. Got myself an A3 portfolio to put cards that I make at craft

I started this about 3-4 years ago, I used a disc where you can convert photos to cross stitch. I picked it up 3 months ago and haven't touched it since, so I'm really going to make the effort to get some more work on it, maybe do some in the evenings. Can you tell who it is yet? lol.

I've got to say I've never felt so ill as what I have in the last 5-6 days. Plus Shane has also got a cold and cough.I've got lots of cards to make for RAK clubs, birthday clubs, plus some personal ones. I was planning on starting on the ironing

Today would've been my mum's birthday, but she died in September 2003 aged 67. This is the last picture I took of her 2 weeks before she died, Shane was only 21 months, so obviously doesn't remember her, but there are photos of her in his room. I'm guessing she still wouldn't look her age if she were still alive.The valentine cards were made on Sunday, a mixture of the good old cuttlebug and

I'm really happy to say that Fee's debut on Create & Craft on Thursday morning was a massive and overwhelming success. It should've been an hour long show, but ended after half an hour as everything sold out!!!! If any readers watched the show you'll know that Deb's who was appearing with Fee was only able to do about 2 demos, in fact, I think she only managed to show how to make a gift bag, the

These were made on Wednesday at a workshop at Craft Inspirations, Sutton Coldfield, the tutor again was Shirley. The card with the 3 tiles was done by stamping onto chipboard, then coloured in with coloursoft pencils, it was then covered over with a versamark clear pad and dipped in to UTEE (ultra thick embossing powder) and melted using a heat gun. The coloured card was Bazzill stock and edged

Thankyou so much Maggie, a much needed hug as some scumbag smashed my front passenger window on the car the other night when my OH went to get a takeaway, they had the nerve to do it while he was just a few yards away, all they got was the loose change from the drawer, but now we can't use the car until it's replaced.I've picked these ladies because they've either

I've been awarded this by Tasha at Millie's magical moment. She gave me this last month, but I'm only picking it up now as I haven't been here since November. Tasha has some wonderful makes on her blog, she's a very talented lady, who combines her uni studies with looking after her daughter Millie and still manages to have time to craft. I'm passing on the award to the following ladies, as with

Have a look over on Fee's site for the monthly challenge, it closes on the 22nd December, and she's giving away a great prize, you have to create something using the free download that she provides, post your make to her which is then judged, the good thing about it is that the cards are then sold for a worthy cause, unless you specify that you want the card returned.

My son's Godmother was having a party for her daughter's 21st birthday last year, I let her daughter pick the stamp from my collection, and was told 'as pink as possible'. The image is Penny Black's 'Light The Night' and the paper was from my stash. Numbers were cut using Ellison 'Curlie Girlie' I was asked by my college classmates to make a thank you card for our tutor at the end of term in

I was asked to make a card for someone who's cricket crazy, the card is in the team colours of Warwickshire. Numbers and wording were done done using the Cricut base camp cartridge, I layered the numbers to give it that chipboard feel. The card is A4 size and in a box.

Finally and at long last I can start trying to update my blog, the main 'puter has been playing up for a while and had some viruses that I couldn't shift, and I was reluctant to use it, then the modem died, and then finally the hard drive crashed. Now a new hard drive has been bought and is waiting to be installed, but best of all my OH has bought me a laptop for my birthday and crimble pressie

Aaaaagh, I really must get this blog sorted, and get back to CB forum & FeeJ as well. Have had a lot to do in the last few weeks, plus I had a lump in my boob which was very scary, but it turned out to be a cyst, which I had drained there and then at the hospital, it took 2 attempts to do it, the pain of the needles and the bruising that was left was a very small price to pay.Will be back to
