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!

Vintage Santa

Hi friends......hope you're all well & warm!

The weather seems to have taken a turn for the worse with storm warnings going out

across parts of the country........stay safe everyone.

Another card topper to share today, I LOVE the silver & white combo.....and I used

up so many snippets too! Not sure where the stamp came from but I simply stamped it in

 black & added a sprinkle of glitter, matted onto some Hunkydory mirri (love it!) & edged with a Hunkydory die cut frame. The poinsettias were cut from white & solver mirri and finished with a pearl and lastly I added a die cut sentiment edged with a silver bow.

A bit more Christmas shopping is the plan for today........thanks for calling & whatever you're 

up to have a lovely day............see you soon!

Morning lovelies......hope you're all well & warm!

Ooh not long now........the days are growing ever shorter, the list of things to do is getting

longer..........and it's oh, so very cold! As always though, I'm sure we'll get it all done.......and if

we don't I'm sure we'll still have a fabulous Christmas anyway!

So for today I have a  creepy card to share......this was from a set of 4 I made......all the same 

size & design, just a different image on each. Probably the simplest card to make I printed an image from a cd called I'm Screaming of a White Christmas by Jem's Designs. I layered

 onto silver mirri then mounted onto a black card blank & finished with a die cut snowflake

 and a gem.I love the versatility of these cd's.......will definitely be going back for more!

 There's some gorgeous ones to choose from, they're not all gothic & creepy....there's steampunk, vintage, flowers, romance, fantasy...........too many to mention!

Rightio......off for some breakfast then maybe a crafty play.....thanks for calling!
