Sharing an Oldie - Autumn Days

Morning my crafty friends & bloggers......hope you're all well & looking
forward to the weekend....a couple of lazy days for us, something nice to eat & maybe
watch some tv.....I so love this time of the year. So it's Friday again and that means
its time to 'Share an Oldie' craft style with our lovely host Erika over at Snappycrafts,
gosh these weeks sure are flying past! Today I have a digi layout to share...only a couple
of years old but it seemed to fit as we're now into Autumn! I created this one in 
Serif & the subject is of course, my little miss Rebecca! We'd had a walk to the shops
one day, it was quite windy as you can probably tell by her hair lol, the leaves were
swirling around our feet, the colours were gorgeous & she decided she just had to stop
& hug a tree.....happy days! So that's my crafty offering for today, gonna have a
wander around town with one of my boys today......wonder if I'll manage to bypass
the craft shop......mmmm, we'll see. Thanks for calling.....see you soon!

From card to notebook

Morning my lovely crafty friends......hope you're all well.
Today I have an A5 notebook to share, you might remember the card image
from August....it was an Oddball Art Dt make....& rather than waste it I decided
to turn it into a notebook cover.....what do you think? I simply distressed the edges,
layered some black & pink card along with a piece of chalkboard paper & that
was it....quick & easy......and useful too!
Don't forget...if you fancy treating yourself over at Oddball Art you can save 
yourself 10% if you use code DTJO10 at checkout.
Thanks for calling......see you soon.

Merry Christmas.....CAS style!

Morning crafty friends & bloggers......hope you're all well.
Finally, I managed to get on with some Christmas crafting, think I scared myself
silly when I realised how much I have (want) to do! So I made a start with the
simplest of cards.....maybe not quite CAS compared to some but probably as close
 as I'm gonna get....and it works for posting too so think I'm gonna be making lots
 more in this style.
The fab paper is from Craftwork Cards & the image is from a LOTV art pad, the
sentiment was done on the computer....there's a sprinkle of glitter on there too but
it's quite hard to see.  So that's my crafty offering for today, hoping to manage 
another hour (or 2) at my desk once I get all my jobs done. Thanks for calling....
......see you soon!..
