Snowmen Fun

 Good Morning Peeps,

Well I hope you all had a good weekend and didn't get washed away with all the rain, it's been so miserable here, rain, mist and no daylight to speak of we had to have the lights on in the house most of the time.  Let's hope this week is a better one.

Today we have a new challenge starting over on Christmas with the Cuties where this month our challenge is:

Sparkle and Shine

(or Anything Goes as long as it's cute and Christmas)

For my card I used a very old Bugaboo digi stamp coloured with Copics and a Happy Christmas die from Sue Wilson, I added a couple of snowflakes and plenty of glitter.

Only one more challenge after this one before Christmas so hope to see you joining in with your cute Christmas cards.

Enjoy your day!

Flowers

 Good Morning Peeps,

We have a new challenge for you today over on Fab’n’Funky, where our lovely Neva has set us the challenge of:

Make it Female

I made my card for granddaughter Zoe for her birthday in September.

The image is from Bugaboo and I coloured with Copics, the papers are by Catherine Pooler, sentiment is a Uniko stamp and I added some Nuvo drops.

Hope you can find time to check out the lovely inspiration from the Design Team on the challenge blog and maybe join in with us.

Have a good day!

Candy Canes

 Good Morning Peeps,

Hope everyone is keeping well and had a good weekend.  We have just returned from a week’s holiday in Devon, we had a good time though the weather was very changeable, sun, showers and very windy at times.

Now it’s back to our challenge for this month at Christmas with the Cuties where our theme is:

“Take a Trip Down Candy Cane Lane”

(So let’s see your Cute and Christmas projects featuring Candy Canes or Red and White)

For my card I used a Bugaboo digi, coloured with Copics, the background paper is a very old one from my stash, I added a tree cut with an MFT die and added a sentiment and some glitter.

We would love to see you joining in with us this month and please take a look at the great inspiration on the blog provided by the Design Team.

Enjoy your day!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Good Morning Peeps,

I hope all is well with you this Saturday morning, warm but dull here after a beautiful sunny Friday.

  Norhing planned for us this weekend as we are in the area of local lockdowns so we can't even see the family out in the garden, I know these things have to be done but it doesn't make it any easier to take, I just hope it doesn't last too long this time.  The steam train which runs through our village was supposed to start again today as well but I think that must have had to be cancelled too as I haven't seen it.

Anyway I have a Christmas card to share with you today, I have been trying to get some done this week making 2 or 3 the same as I really need to get my box filled up.

Good Morning Peeps,

Hope you are all well and having a great August, I have been having a bit of a rest from crafting while things are quiet on the blog front.  Not so quiet at home, we are looking after our eldest son's cocker spaniel while they are away and then onto rabbit duty when our daughter goes on holiday.  We were out at the Trafford Centre last Monday when our granddaughter Abbie was 15 so we took her to choose a present and out for lunch.  Monday next we are off with Lorna, Abbie and Emma for the day to Blackpool Zoo so hope the weather is good (hopefully no rain).

Well onto my card for our challenge at My Time to Craft where this Saturday our challenge is:

Embossing Wet or Dry

For my embossing I used my Die'sire Embossilicious folder "Star of Wonder" and then sprayed the embossed card with Silver spray, which doesn't show up too well on the photo, and the matting is silver mirri which looks black!!!!
