Christmas in July Day 13!

Morning friends, hope you're all well & have something nice planned for the weekend.

We're off shopping......a trip to the Range & Hobbycraft to have a little crafty 

shop.....and maybe stop somewhere for something nice to eat.

So today is Day 13 of Christmas in July and I have a page from my Christmas

countdown to share.....page 18! I started with a base layer of kraft card....oh my,

the photo doesn't do it justice......its full of gold flecks....so delicious!

Next, I die cut the snowflake panel in cream hammered card, added a die cut 

banner, the die cut words & numbers then finished with some faux gems

in the centre of the snowflakes. I love this page & think you'll soon be

 seeing it made into Christmas cards!

Rightio, better get a move on....thanks for calling, have a lovely day & I'll

see you tomorrow.

Christmas in July Day 12!

Hello crafters, hope you're well.

Day 12 & I have another Christmas card to share......and it's pink!! 

I know, I know.....I promised to lay off the pink for a while but I couldn't 

resist this gorgeous pink Polar bear from Hunkydory!

 Beautiful, shiny layers of pink & silver with a little hint of white, I

 added only a little sparkly silver bow.

Thanks for calling, have a lovely day and I'll see you tomorrow.

Christmas in July Day 11!

Hey friends, hope you're all well.

Day 11 of my Christmas in July challenge & today's make is from a Hunkydory

kit....and who doesn't love a good Christmas pud? Well, to be honest there's

only me & 1 son that likes it in our house!

Not sure whether this is going to be made into a card or should I keep it 

as a page for my Christmas countdown calendar? Decisions, decisions.....but

whatever I do with it I'll add a base layer & either a sentiment for a card or 

a number for my countdown.

Rightio, that's me for today.....thanks for calling, have a lovely day & I'll

see you tomorrow.

Christmas in July Day 10!

Morning crafty friends, hope you're well.

Oh my, Day 10 of my challenge to myself to make only Christmas themed

makes for the month of July.......one third of the way through already!

Today's share is a snowglobe topper, i made a few of these last Christmas

and they were ever so popular so I just had to include one in my challenge.

Almost identical to last year's I started with a snowglobe base cut from

my Hunkydory dies, added a LOTV topper, some die cut snowflakes, a die

cut sentiment & finished with some faux gems & a scattering of glitter.

That's my lot for today, thanks for calling & have a lovely day.

See you tomorrow.

Christmas in July Day 9

Hi friends, hope you're all well.

Are you having a good week? The weather's a bit cooler here today so that's

good for me although it's still warm enough that it feels wrong to be

making Christmas things! Still, it's never too early, I have a nice little pile.

So it's Day 9 of my Christmas in July challenge & I have another topper to

share.....I know, it's pink again! I can't seem to help myself! I love that snowy

image....I layered all the die cut elements on foam pads for a little extra

dimension, layered onto white card then pink adorable scorable then finished

 with a sprinkling of glitter.....it looks so much prettier IRL.

Short & sweet today as I have lots to do so thanks for calling & whatever 

you're up to I hope you manage a little crafty time.

See you tomorrow.

You Are Amazing

Morning lovelies, hope you're well.

Are you coping with the heat? Thankfully there's a lovely breeze here today

which makes it a lot easier to cope.....and I have fans on full blast in my

craft room......so guess where I'm spending the day?

I'm not cooking today either, well, apart from roasting a chicken....I know,

I must be crazy in this heat but at least the salad we're having with it

takes no time....and no heat! The boys are busy in the garden, Rebecca's still in

 bed (party last night) and I'm sat at my desk......happy days.

Anyway, enough waffling from me......I have another topper to share today,

you might have noticed I have a bit of a pink theme going on but I promise I'll

mix it up a bit tomorrow lol. A black base, a Hunkydory image, paper from

Craftwork Cards finished with a little sentiment & a couple faux pearls.

So that's my lot for today......thanks for calling & any comments you might

leave......wishing you a lovely day!

See you tomorrow.
