New Home

 Good Morning Peeps,

Hope everyone is well and having a good week.  Been quite a busy week here for us with one thing and another, one granddaughter had a birthday and eldest granddaughter Zoe set off on her travels for 4 months, Singapore first stop then Kuala Lumpur, Thailand and everywhere else in Asia, we have had some photos and she seems to be having a good time.  This week is  bit quieter and thankfully a lot warmer after the snow and ice of last week.

Well back to today and our new challenge at Fab’n’Funky which is brought to us by our lovely Neva with her theme choice of  New Beginnings

For my card I used a Joffe image, coloured with Copics, background paper is by Polkadoodles and I added some die cuts and a sentiment,

Hope you can find time to join in with us and take a look at the lovely inspiration from the Design Team on the challenge blog.

Enjoy your day!

Shaped Cards

 Good Morning Peeps

Well here we are my first post of 2023.  I do hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

It’s time to start our challenges over on Fab’n’Funky and our first one is brought to you by our lovely Chris and she has challenged us to make a shaped card (no squares or rectangles).

I made this shaped card (no idea what shape it is called), but I scored my A4 card and folded into this shape,  my image is from Polkadoodles and I coloured her with Copics, added some flowers cut with  Lisa Horton die and added a sentiment.  Sorry about the quality of the picture but it hasn’t stopped raining here for days and it has been so dark it had to be taken with the light on, I don’t know why the background looks blue it is white!



Hope to  see you joining in with our challenge.

Have a good day!

Santa Claus

Good Morning Peeps,
 
Another very cold day today but at least some of the ice and snow has gone, I did get out for some shopping yesterday when it warmed up a little but today looks like a day for staying at home and keeping warm.
 
We have a new challenge starting today over on Fab'n'Funky, this will be our last challenge of this year so hope to see you joining in.  Our lovely Chris has set the challenge for us this week a nice easy one:
 
Last Minute Christmas Makes
 

A couple of quick and simple makes using a Whimsy stamp coloured with Copics with a few stamped snowflakes and a sentiment with a little added glitter.
 
Please take a look at the inspiration from the Design Team and maybe join in with our challenge with your last minute Christmas makes.
 
Enjoy your day!

Christmas Postbox

 Good Afternoon Peeps,

    Well I have been absent for the past 13 days as we have been without the internet.  You don't realise how much you use it until it is no longer there and there are so many things you can't do.  Now it's a case of putting new passwords in everywhere and I will be round to catch up on my commenting as soon as I am sorted.

Anyway back to today and the start of a new challenge at Fab & Funky where this week our lovely Ginny is host with her choice of:

Die-cuts and Embossing only no stamped images


For my card I used an embossed backbround, a tonic die to create the Christmas post box and a Sue Wilson sentiment die, with a little glitter added here and there.

Do please check out the challenge blog to see the great creations by my teamies.
 
Have a good day!
