Christmas Robin

 Good Morning Peeps,
 
I hope you are all having a good week.  We have a new challenge starting today over on Fab’n’Funky where for the next two weeks our challenge is brought to you by our lovely Pat K with her choice of:

THINGS WITH WINGS
 
 
 I have another quite simple card made with a Hunkydory image and an embossed background as I am still not able to see to do colouring, but I saw my consultant on Monday and I finish my post op medication next week and he says I can get my eyes tested the week after for some new glasses.  So hopefully I will be able to see better in three weeks.

Hope to see you joining in with our challenge.

Have a good day!

Colours of Autumn

 Good Morning Peeps,
 
At last I am back with a post after more than 2 months.  I have had two operations on my left eye one to have a cataract removed and the other to remove scar tissue from a previous glaucoma operation, which has meant I haven't been able to craft and not able to use the computer.  I am still not seeing close up too well but have to wait until I have finished all my medications at the end of this month before I can get some new glasses. 
 
I have managed to make a card for the challenge this week at Fab'n'Funky using a pre-coloured image from Mo's Digital and I created a stencilled background using Oxide inks.
 

Please take a look at the Fab'n'Funky Challenge blog to see the fabulous creations by the Design Team and maybe join in with us this week.
 
I  hope to be round to see you soon.
 
Have a good day!

In the Garden ATC

 Good Morning Peeps,
 
Saturday morning dull but very warm here. 
 
I have this week been busy tidying up now the bathroom is all finished and all the dust and mess removed from upstairs and items put back in their rightful place and I have at last been able to get into my craft room and do a little crafting.
 
I wanted to get an ATC made for the ATC and Tag Challenge before time ran out this month.
 

I made a background using Distress Oxides and used an old LOTV background stamp, flower cut out with a Memory Box die.
 
Have a lovely day!

I made a round easel card using a Sweet Poppy stamp, coloured with Copics and I added a sentiment, glitter and a ribbon bow as the stopper.
 
Please take a look at the challenge blog for some great inspiration from the Design Team.
 
Enjoy your Sunday!

Christmas in July

Good Morning Peeps,

It’s Wednesday morning and I hope it’s not too hot for you today.  It’s not been too bad here a bit hot at night and hard to sleep but the last few days have been rather cloudy so a lot cooler.  I’ve been busy getting things sorted as starting today we are having a complete new bathroom fitted.  So upstairs will be a bit of a no go area through the day for about 8 days.

Back to today at Fab’n’Funky where this will be our last challenge before our summer break and I have chosen the theme of:

Christmas in July


For my card I used a CC Designs stamp, coloured with Copics and an embossed background with a Penny Black embossing folder.  I added some small snowflakes stamped with a Hero Arts stamp, a sentiment some small die cut snowflakes, nuvo drops and glitter.
 
Why not pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from the Design Team and maybe get started on your Christmas cards by joining in our challenge.
 
Have a lovely day and keep cool!!
