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! 

It's Snow Time

Good Morning Peeps,

 

We have a new challenge starting today over on Fab'n'Funky where for the next two weeks I am the host with my choice of challenge of:

 

CHRISTMAS ANIMALS

 

 For my card I used another Pink Ink Stamp ( I just love these cute mouse stamps) I followed the colouring on the stamp packaging using my Copics, I layered  onto a die by Phill Martin using silver card, the backing paper is by Crafter's Companion,  I added a little glitter and white gel pen and finished with a couple of sentiments.

I hope you will be able to join in with us this fortnight as time is running out to make those Christmas cards.

Have a good day!

Festive Food

Good Morning Peeps,

 

I do hope you have all had a good week, I've not been too good I have had a really bad cough and cold, (hubby had it first and generously passed it on to me), I have to admit it really wiped me out haven't been able to do a thing I was so tired but I am feeling much better now just need to get rid of the remains of the cough and hopefully get some energy back this week.

We have a new challenge starting today over on Christmas with the Cuties where for the next month our challenge will be:

CUTE & CHRISTMAS

(with the option of Festive Food)

 

 For my card I used a cute image and backing paper from Lili of the Valley, coloured the image with Copics and added some snowflakes, a sentiment and come glitter.

 

Time is moving on so let's see you get making some Christmas cards and entering our challenge.  Please take a look at the lovely inspiration from the rest of the Design Team on the Challenge Blog.

 

Have a good day!

Season's Greetings

 Good Morning Peeps,

Hope you are all having a good week.  We have had some really sunny days over the past week and luckily on my birthday last week it was a lovely sunny day and we spent the day at the coast, it was really warm and we sat by the sea eating fish and chips which do taste so much better outside by the sea.  Here’s hoping we still have a few more warm days before the cold sets in.

We have a new challenge starting today over on Fab'n'Funky where for the next two weeks our teamie Buffy has chosen the theme of:

SEASON'S GREETINGS

I made quite a simple card using paper from the beautiful new Crafters Companion "Winter's Sparkle" pad.  I added Seasons's Greetings cut with a Sue Wilson die and a few extra snowflakes cut with a die from the "Winter's Sparkle" series and glittered with "Diamond Frost" though this doesn't show up too well in the photo.

Don't forget to take a look at the great creations by the DT on the challenge blog.

Have a good day!

Granddaughter Birthday card
