ATC's

Helloooo

It was ATC time again, this time it was Oriental/Chinese New Year and this is what I came up with....

The stamp is not Stampin'Up! as I didn't have anything Oriental, but the cardstock is Basic Black and Real Red. You can't see from the photo but I also spritzed it with Stampin'Up! shimmer paint and it did look really good, but my photo is pretty poor.
Anyhoo hope you like it, back soon with more
Ooooh I just remembered next month or is that this month now!!!! is PIRATES and I do have the set by Stampin'Up! so keep um peeled........

I'm Back!!!!!!

Helloooo  I'm Back!!!!!


Have I been away, well actually no, we are trying to sell our house and it is taking up way too much of my time, not only that but I have had to declutter..... Back when we first put the house on the market the estate agent came round and said I needed to loose some of the clutter, what a cheek. especially when he was looking directly at my craft corner, which was I have to say quite tidy. It would open up the room more. So after much deliberation on my part I gave in and cleared it all out.  So while the weather wasn't too bad it went in the garage, but as the weather got colder I feared for the health of my crafting goodies so brought it back in the house and took over one of the downstairs cupboards.  So for a while I did my crafting on the coffee table, which is not good, but then after taking the house off the market over christmas, I needed a break!! we put it back on the market in January and have had to keep it looking clean and tidy for viewings. Aargggggggg.  My crafting is definately suffering as a result of this. But I am trying...... as my husband would say Very trying!!!!
Anyway thanks for listening to my rantings I will be back with some craft in a mo......

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...........
