We wish you a merry....

Christmas! I think that should read, "Bah Humbug", I'm just about all Christmas'ed out. I seem to have made so many blooming Christmas cards and I still haven't started on the family ones!!! Oh well, not to worry. I made these last week for the school fayre

The papers are all pieces from my "left overs mountain", yes, I have a separate box for Christmas scraps and that doesn't seem to be going down either, lol. I might just go and add these to Jules' Snippets as they definitely fit the challenge.

The makers I recognise are Funky Hand, Pink Petticoat and Papermania. Most of the images are from the new Twelve Crafters Crafting cd from Funky Hand and the top image of Santa and Rudolf are from the very talented Sally-Ann at Digistamp Boutique, everything else is from my stash.

Just a quick reminder, there is still time to take part in my Christmas/Birthday challenge over on the Get Funky blog I have asked for a Christmas AND a non Christmas project this time but there is a slight catch....they both need to be made with Christmas paper. You must use a Funky Hand element on them and Anice has made a lovely freebie paper if you would like to use it.

Right, I must go and do something now although I have been out and tidied my mum's flower shed as she is coming over this morning to do my table centre for Christmas day....and you literally couldn't get through the door. We had just been plonking stuff in there as we came across it and there were two shelving units parked in the doorway. I had to take them out so I could get in to sort it lol

Back later, thanks for looking.

At last!

I haven't been able to get onto Blogger for just over a week for some unknown reason and it has done my head in! It wouldn't let me log in and every time I put in my log in details it just came up asking me to log in again as though it was stuck in a loop. The strange thing was that when I published a comment from the link in my email it took me to the log in page but the comment came up as published........strange but being technically challenged I haven't a clue what was going on. It is so good though being able to access my dashboard etc :)

I have done a fair bit of work and not been able to show it but am now going to remedy that...you have been warned lol

Ruby album

I posted the cover of the album the other day and have finally finished the rest of it. My friend came to collect it this afternoon as it was for her son's girlriend to give to her parents at the weekend. My friend was pleased with it, as was Sally :)

Phew...that took some doing! I've used an assortment of materials which include papers from Pink Petticoat, Funky Hand and DCWV, Stampin Up large roller and ink and assorted goodies from the likes of K & Co, Nitwits, The Digistamp Boutique. Everything else is from my stash.

Thanks for looking.

Wedding cards

I've made an assortment of quick wedding cards for hubby over the last couple of weeks but haven't had time to upload them. They have all been sat on my desk top and it's looking decidedly messy so I thought I would spend a bit of time and upload this weeks work too.
The first one is done 'loosely' from Mrs B's Sketch File

I just turned the sketch on it's side! The image is one of Sally-Ann's from Digistamp Boutique which I've coloured with Promarkers. Everything else is from my stash.

Another of Sally-Ann's images and assortments from my 'bits' box.

and a third image from Sally-Ann plus more from the 'bit' box.

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.....21 again and I don't look a day over 20 :)) I've had a hectic day (so what's new!) and have been to the all you can eat Chinese buffet for tea and am still stuffed lol

The ICS sketch is up this week and we are being sponsored be The Stamping Boutique 

 

with a fabulous prize of 3 of the rubber "Cynthia" stamps or 5 digis....the choice is yours. How great is that!

We were late getting the images this week so as most of us had already made cards, Dawn posted them both. Just how cool is that.

Image coloured with Promarkers, paper - Doodlebug and sentiment from Craftwork cards.

Image is from The Digi Stamp Boutique sentiment is a rub on, everything else is from my stash.

Thanks for looking :)

Baby card

I've had this cute little image by Sally-Ann from Digi Stamp Boutique on my desk all week so decided to use it on Sue's sketch challenge for the CBC Birthday challenges

There are bonus points if we use a rub on and something that flies! Image coloured with Promarkers, Prima flowers and everything else from my stash.

I'll be back in a while as it is challenge day on the ICS challenge blog so have my DT cards to show. TFL

One world, one heart

I got my two winner's gifts off at the beginning of last week and am pleased to say that Lorraine has received hers. Lisa is on holiday at the mo so hopefully it will be waiting for her when she gets back. I made a couple of small cards too to say thanks for entering my give away. I was unlucky again this year and didn't win anything :)

 

  

 

I can't remember which card I sent with which earrings! The card above was made using punched flowers, a handmade flower and rub ons.

The card on the right was made with a butterfly from The Digi Stamp Boutique, rub on sentiment, gems, ribbons and nestabilities.

Thanks for looking.
