Birthday

Helloooo

It was my Birthday yesterday, how old!!!!!! well I had some lovely handmade cards.....

 This is my daughter Kates card, pretty good huh, she is very good on the computer.

This is the card made by my son Joshua, he does his best bless him, he hasn't quite understood about paper cutters and straight edges!! but at least he tried, and the hamster is pretty cute.

I also had some lovely sympathy cards too..

Thankyou to everyone who sent me cards, they were absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for looking....

Christmas Treats

Helloooo

I thought I would share these with you, these are the gifts I made for my craft buddies, inside was the cutest china robin christmas decoration and some Lindt chocolate reindeers, unfortunatly I didn't photograph the contents dohh.

I used my favourite punches, the scallop border and corner, I just love them. Now it took a little time to get used to using them to do all around the edge but now I am getting the hang of them as you can see and I just can't stop using them.
The first colour combo is Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla, with the lovely Real Red polka dot ribbon. The second is Close to Cocoa, Rose Red and Very Vanilla with Rose Red ribbon. The second combo is sadly retired, but will remain a favourite until its all gone.....
Anyway hope you like them, thanks for stopping by.... ta tar for now......

Happy New Year

Helloooo

And a Happy New Year, I have been lucky enough to spend Christmas in Pembrokeshire, we stayed in a beautiful house looking out onto green countryside (well actually it was white when we arrived, lovely thick snow) with the sea only a stones throw away.  The place was beautiful the only downside (not for me but for the children) was that there was no internet, in fact we couldn't even get a phone signal....very rural..lovely.

So I had planned to do some blogging whilst I was away but couldn't, so I have a lot to catch up with. And to start...........

Hellooo

Sorry for my lack of posts, we had my Mum's funeral on Friday and I have not felt like crafting at all.  I did start some Christmas cards and have managed to finish them.

I used Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla cardstock, the stampset is Contempo Christmas stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I daubed around the edge of the top piece of very vanilla with cherry cobbler ink then I mounted onto another piece of very vanilla which I punched around the edge with the scallop corner and scallop edge punches. Last I mounted this onto a Cherry Cobbler card 9.5 x 9.5cm.

With this one I cut out the tree and used foam pads to lift it. The card under the very vanilla piece is crumb cake, everything else is the same.
Hope you like them, thanks for stopping by....

December ATC

Hellooo

This months ATC is all about Christmas, I thought yippee I have lots of christmas stampsets, but then it was hard to decide which one to use. I was inspired by a card I had seen using the large tree from Lovely as a Tree stampset to make the branches of a christmas tree, it is really effective, I love it.  I must admit I have used it on some of my christmas cards.  I also used a retired set called 'Hung Up on the Holidays'...it has the cutest little gingerbread man which I stamped out onto shrink plastic using soft suede ink. I then cut them out and punched a tiny hole which I threaded thin wire through. Then I shrank them and using the wire hung them on the christmas tree branches.

 I did the same with the two baubles in the same set, to make more decorations for the tree and of course you have to add a bit of glitter don't you......

TaDa....
I hope you like them, back with more craft soon....
