Ho Ho Ho!

Hello everyone, hope you are all well. Just finished supermarket shop and what a nightmare that was - you'd think it was Christmas this weekend!!!Luckily we got round in one piece..............think i might have to fit bumpers to my son's wheelchair for next week lol! So, a little craft time methinks before kid's come home from school - and this is what i made - hope you like it! I needed something suitable for a male so chose this digi image from Bugaboo, coloured with promarkers and everything else is from my stash.
Enjoy rest of your day..................can't wait for I'm a Celeb tonight!!

Tag time

Good afternoon, everyone, hope you all keeping well. Another cold,  miserable day here................a perfect day for crafting so once the kiddo's were off to school i shut myself away for a couple hours! I wanted to make a tag today.............. i couldn't resist using another gorgeous Tilda! I went for my fav colour combo - again! I just love blues and browns together. Well, just time for a quick tidy of craft room then off  on school run. Keep crafting!

Magnolia blue

Hello everyone, hope you all keeping well. Managed to get another Christmas card done today - not for me, though, this one was for somebody who knew exactly what they wanted and it had to be an easel card!!! I am quite happy with it but did think it needed a bit of something else. Anyway, I've used one of my favourite Christmas stamps - who am i kidding - they all my favourite lol. I loved colouring her and just had to add a bit of glitter on her coat!

Under the mistletoe

Hiya, well today has been so warm and sunny here you'd never believe we're nearly halfway through November!! I've been determined to get my Christmas projects done soon rather than rushing a week before the big day.................but something always gets in the way............you know, things like cooking, ironing, housework lol. Anyway, i've got another card to share - its made completely from my stash - can't believe i've not used the stamp yet - everything must be at least a year old - and i've followed the sketch over at SnS.
Hope you like it.

That's my boy!!

Hiya everyone, still can't find my Christmas mojo so spent the afternoon watching Rebecca making a birthday card for her brother, Chris and a Christmas present for her brother, Cam, oh, and making a mess of my desk lol. Today's card is another birthday card for my son, Chris(can't believe he gonna be 15 on Tues!) - have to say I love all the Mo Manning digis - they perfect for teenage boys!! Apart from image everything is from my stash - does anyone know the make of the spotty paper i used? I love it and have a piece in brown as well. I think it came in a pack ............ mainly browns and blues, there's some with "boy" related words on and maybe some with stripes too. Would love any suggestions as would love some more. Hope you have a good evening. OOOh i nearly forgot.........enjoy Strictly and X Factor!!!

Scrappy Birthday!

Evening everybody. Hope you all feeling fine and keeping warm. Today's card was for a friend who thought she'd like to try scrapbooking and guess what? Yes, you guessed, she's addicted.............to card making as well, now lol! I thought this decoupage girl would be ideal...................isn't she cute? I layered her up and put her on blue gingham paper and put tiny bows in her hair! I die cut the flower button and ran it through a polka dot embossing folder and threaded with ribbon, used a peel off on an oval die cut and threaded with ribbon, teeny blue gem for bit of bling! I glittered the yellow paper too although it doesn't show up too well, does it?

Hope you like it.
