All you need is love......

Morning crafty friends, hope you're all well.

I've woken to a very wet, dark & dismal day here on the Yorkshire Coast so guess what I'll be doing today? Yeah, you guessed right.........once the jobs are done I'll be hiding in my craft room.......but to have a sort out/tidy up......then maybe a little play time!

I have a love themed card to share today, a little bit shabby & IRL the colours look so pretty. A few heart die cuts, a couple fishtail banner die cuts, half a heart shaped doily & a die cut frame......oh, and I distressed the edges then finished with the word love and that's it.....done!

Rightio, gonna get an early start today.......thanks for calling.......have a lovely day!

Scrappymo's Rudolph Days Challenge!

Morning crafty friends......hope you're all well.

Did you have a lovely weekend? As usual, it flew past & I didn't get done half of what I wanted.......I did manage some baking though so that kept the troops happy lol!

So this year I was determined to join in with my friend Scrappymo's Rudolph Days Challenge where she invites us to enter a Christmas make every month........a great way to build up your Christmas card stash! I went with a non traditional colour combo this time & made a little 5x5 card. Lots of layers, some distressed, some silver mirri card for extra sparkle, a lovely die cut frame, die cut embellishments & finished with some faux pearls.......my 1st Christmas card of 2018!!

Rightio, better get going.......thanks for calling & whatever you're up to have a lovely day!

Love you like Harry Potter!

Hello 2018!

Morning crafty friends, hope you're all well & warm and not struggling too much weather wise. We had snow over the weekend so guess what I'm doing today? You guessed.....snuggling down in my craft room! Before I waffle on anymore I'd like to wish you all a (very belated) wonderful happy, healthy & craft filled New Year! I hope 2018 is everything you want it to be! Ok, I know I'm late but at least we're still in January lol! Have you made (and broken) any New Year resolutions? None for me, I'm just gonna take each day as it comes, craft when I can, blog more & try and challenge myself more craft wise........and maybe have a much tidier craft desk!

So for today I have a card topper to share........a great way of using up those snippets we all have lying around.......and a topper is much easier to store too then when needed I can just mount it onto a card blank & that's it......job done! I used simple matting & layering of black card and silver mirri then finished with some die cut pieces........simple!

Rightio, got some jobs to do.........then it's playtime! Thanks for calling & whatever you're up to I hope your day's a good one! xx

Christmas Pudding!

Morning crafty friends......hope you're all ok!

Well, the days sure are flying past....not too long now before the big fella comes

down the chimney..........eeeek...........better get me a move on & finish my shopping!

So for today I have a card topper to share......made entirely with dies & snippets from my

scrap basket this came together so quick & easy.......don't you just love that shiny silver

sixpence......and the cutlery too, the embossing detail on them is fab!

Lots to do today so I won't waffle on any longer lol.

Thanks for calling......and for the lovely comments you leave me......see you soon!

If you go out when it's snowing......

.........and look up at the sky............you'll feel lots of icy kisses

............as the snowflakes flutter by!

Morning crafty friends, hope you're all well & warm, it's bitterly cold & wet here

this morning but no snow......yet.......I think the warmest place to be might just

be my craft room......any excuse lol!

Today's card is another Hunkydory image......isn't it sweet? And I love the verse too.

Simple matting & layering again and I assembled some die cut poinsettias.........added

a couple extra bits & pieces & that's it.........another card done!

Loving these quick & easy makes.....they definitely scratch my crafty itch since I

can't sit & craft as I used to and as the image came from a sheet there's lots of

bits & pieces left over to make something else with!

Thanks for poppy by......have a lovely day, see you tomorrow!

Morning my crafty friends........hope you're all well!

Oooh, it's a cold morning, I think the craft room might just be my room of choice today!

A quick & easy card for today made using Hunkydory mirri, die & topper matted & layered 

onto a black card front. I used a banner die to add the peel off sentiment.....yes, peel off.....

......do you remember them lol? Haven't used them for ages but found a box full and well, it would be rude not too.......and to be honest they're perfect for the banner dies! A few gems 

to finish & that's it.......super quick & easy so a great make for those last minute cards!

Thanks for popping by & whatever you're up to......have a lovely day!
