Sunflower

Good Morning Peeps,

 

Happy New Year - as this is my first post of 2025.

 

We had a lovely Christmas with the family and I thought I would share a new photo of our granddaughters, I don't get many opportunities to get them all together for a photo but we had a big get together over Christmas.  It's quite a few years since I shared a photo of them and they are now all grown up and young ladies.

 

We have a new challenge starting today over on Fab'n'Funky where I am hosting with my choice of:

ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

I thought it would be nice to cheer up any dull days in January with some bright and colourful cards.

 

 

 I treated myself to a set of pencils before Christmas and tried them out on this sunflower stamp from Crafter's Companion, I quite enjoyed using them but need a lot more practice.  The paper is by Catherine Pooler and I added a sentiment and some ribbon.

We hope to see you joining in our challenge.

Enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday

Good Morning Peeps, 

I do hope everyone is well and keeping warm.  It has gone really cold here and we had snow on Monday night, most of the roads are clear but there is still snow on all the surrounding hills.

We have a new challenge today over on Fab’n’Funky where our lovely Neva has set the challenge of “Use Dies or Punches”.

I used an Happy Birthday die from Crafters Companion and cut out the HAPPY in pastel colours, the backing paper is by Catherine Pooler and I used a die by Lisa Horton for the flowers.

Hope to see you joining in our challenge and there are some lovely projects by the Design Team for inspiration on the challenge blog.

Have a good warm day!

Hello Robin

 Good Morning Peeps,

 Hope you have all had a good weekend, it's been a quiet one here. 

Today see's the start of a new challenge over on "Christmas with the Cuties" where our challenge for this month is as usual Cute and Chrismassy with the option this month of:

"Use a pre-coloured Image"

For my card I used a pre-coloured image from LOTV to which I added some glitter, the paper is from Crafter's Companion, the tree is cut out of glitter card with a die from My Favourite Things and I added a sentiment.

Please take a look at the inspiration from the Design Team on the challenge blog, and hope to see you joining in with us this month.

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!
