Morning….and yaaay we have a sunny spring like day up here, it’s wonderful to see some sun after all that snow..
Well I’ve been browsing the Sunday Challenges and have made a card for Winter Wonderland whose theme is Monochromatic so another white card, can’t seem to step away from white at the moment.
I stamped this gorgeous Serendipity Stamp and divided it into circles using my Nesties, Used the cuttlebug for the bottom of the card, added some glitter, ribbon, pearls and pins.
Morning folks!
Well I'm still on the Xmas Card Forage!! and have done my card for 2 challenges this week.
Winter Wonderland whose theme is Burgundy and Teal.
Bah Humbug Challenge and their theme is Using New/Nearly new Stash and finally:
Tree Stamp : PaperArtsy
Bazzill Card Stock
Martha Stewart Punch - Almost New!!
Ink : Color Box in Harbor
Gems: Prima
Afternoon !! Well the weather and snow is slightly better but it is STILL freezing, I am so fed up having to bus to work or get a lift from someone. I wouldn't dare drive in this!!
So I have been browsing some challenges and since my Xmas craft stuff is still lying around due to the fact there is nowhere else to put it yet!! I decided to make a Xmas card EEEK!!
So Winter Wonderland challenge this week is a great sketch..
At this rate I'll have most of my Xmas cards done in June!!!
Evening Everyone!!
Well after a day of moving boxes, shuffling stuff around!! LOL and crap weather enough was enough . I headed on over to Winter Wonderland and EEk!! their challenge is NO Xmas papers or stamps....So a simple card from me tonight, the most I could muster up among all the upheaval.. And sorry about the awful photo there is just no proper light and the paper just didn't photograph well at all...
So the time has come to start packing up my craft stuff (I'm hyperventilating at the thought of it. My worst nightmare!!!). I'm moving next weekend to my parents until I find a house I like (Hopefully sooner rather than later for sure),I have done my DT stuff for this week but not sure when I will get anything else done or when I will have internet access for my laptop. So have a great week peeps and see you all soon!!!
Well I have taken a break from the bloomin' packing and had a card making rest !! Have soooo much to do and can't seem to see the wood for the trees! Wondering from room to room with bits and bobs then find myself back where I started!! Grrr!
Anyway enough already!
The theme over at Winter Wonderland is St Nicholas... I love this stamp, it's just how I imagine Santa to be!!!
The lovely flock paper is from Making Memories and is gorjusss!! I kept the card quite simple with not much embellishments. The snowflake is a Cuttlebug die and is glittered with Glamour Dust. Added Stickles to Santa's beard to finish.
Back again!! Two cards in one night!!!
Winter Wonderland has also got a lovely sketch this week. Eeeh I'm in Xmas card mode tonight!! LOL
Used the luscious My Minds Eye papers for this...
Afternoon and did you remember to put the clocks back!! No longer lie for me just woke up at my normal time so it will probably feel like a long day today!!!
I hopped over to Winter Wonderland and saw that it was an open theme so I dug out this Cuttlebug Folder that has been lying around for months unused.
The flowers were a download from Jak's Crafters Kitchen, the paper is Anna Griffin. I had a total nightmare trying to photograph this card, the light is horrendous.
Afternoon from a wet and wild North East!!
The Winter Wonderland challenge this week is Xmas Stockings, now I didn't have much in the stocking department in my stash but came across this cute felt sticker... there's something magical about Xmas Stockings maybe it's the anticipation of what's gonna be in them on Xmas Morning!!!
Well I'm off to do some cleaning and ironing EEEK!! Lots of fun for me this Sunday!!! (NOT!!)
Well I have squeaked in this card , didn't have much time for crafting today so the challenge over at WW is "Sleigh Bells Ring". I love this Crafty Individual stamp which I got from The Craft Barn and at the moment I just love black and white Xmas cards.
The flourishes are from a set from Anna Griffin one of my best purchases in ages, they are so beautiful.
Well it's X Factor night and can't wait to see who gets picked.
Ooh and don't forget to check out the new look Craftbarn Site and the blog for the Treasure Hunt which starts tomorrow - there is seriously yummy candy up for grabs!
Afternoon peeps! Well I have been like a "Whirlin' Dervish" today, cleaning, ironing (GRRR!!), even cleaned out that dreaded boxroom that we all seem to have, mind you there was a bit of "blue air" half way through!!! LOl
So after all that activity I flopped on the couch for a bit - (nothing better than a good flop!!). Had a wee peek at Winter Wonderland and yaay it was Vintage Christmas - OOh I love vintage, so that was enough for me. Here is the result...
Hee I'm back again AND the ironing is STILL not done EEK!! My friend stopped by so that was a welcome distraction from that bloomin' ironing board!!
Had a wee peek at Winter Wonderland Challenge, I love Snowmen images so I just had to have a go!!
Afternoon! I think my mojo has left the building lately - Haven't been in the crafty mood at all... I have been working long hours at the Prison and I think it's catching up with me!!
I was also a naughty little crafter this morning and bought the gorgeous Anna Griffin Swirl stamps from QVC. OOOh there were loads of goodies I could have bought. I really like her kits, I had one last Xmas from QVC and the quality is really good.
Anyway I have squeaked in a challenge - Winter Wonderland's theme this week is "Candle Light".
My card is very simple and the main image is embossed with gold powder and coloured with Sakuras and Cosmics. The border stamp is from Crafty Individuals.
Wheee over at Winter Wonderland the ladies are telling us there are only 18 more Xmas themes until Santa Comes!!
Good Grief it's unbelievable where has this year gone...
The theme THIS week is "Home for the Holidays". I love this stamp it's very modern and not everyone's cup of tea but I was going for a modern look!!! LOL
Time for another Xmas card over at Winter Wonderland the theme is Twinkle and Sparkle.
This week at Winter Wonderland the theme is "Winter Wonderland"!
Well here is my alternative Winter Wonderland card!!
I used the upcoming Funky Xmas E-kit from Making Handmade Cards, oooh it has some lush papers and images. The papers and tree image are all from the kit.
Afternoon! I've had a really lazy day today and EEEK!! I'm still in my jammys!!! Haven't done that in ages so it's been great !!! LOL
Had some crafty time too until Peaches jumped up onto my desk and got glue on her paws, had to chase her and grab her for the glue clean - Mmm! she wasn't best pleased.... she loves to sit on the edge of my desk and watch my every move, sometimes she gets so close you can feel her whiskers!!!
Anyway enough already!!! on to my card for The Winter Wonderland Challenge which is "Santa's coming to town"
Evening Folks!
Wow hasn't the weather changed! Rain, fog, wind - EEK!!
So hope you've all had a relaxing Sunday, My parents came for lunch and it was yummy!!! Loads of washing up though then feet up and watched a bit of the Dog Whisperer - Love Him!!!
Had a wee scout around for some challenges, so decided to do the sketch over at Stamptacular Sunday
and Winter Wonderland where the theme is Presents.
This week over at Winter Wonderland the theme is A Blue Christmas - I am really enjoying making Xmas cards in June!!!
Well I was in the spare room today doing a bit of cleaning and there was my Xmas Stash staring back at me, so I figured it was time to get the snowflakes and tree stamps out and have a play - It can never be too soon to start on the cards so after a distinct lack of mojo these last few days, I thought I'd enter the Winter Wonderland Challenge - "Let It Snow" for the first time and I really enjoyed making something different.
So here is my black and white effort with quite a simple card for starters!!
