Brrrrr its cold!

Hiya, did you all enjoy your extra hour in bed? I know i did - it was lovely! I'm on a mission now............I've decided to try and get all my Christmas projects done by the end of November............think I'm kidding myself though cos there's always something that comes up isn't there? Not that I'm complaining - any excuse to get in my craft room lol. Today's card is my favourite colour for Christmas - lovely frosty blue! Gonna get snuggled up on sofa ready for Strictly and X Factor results soon and think i can hear a bar of chocolate calling my name!!
Enjoy your evening,

Who likes lime green?

Evening everyone, just thought i'd squeeze another card in seeing as i'm watching X Factor on plus 1. This card was made using up bits and bobs from my stash ................never seem to get to the bottom of it though lol. I've never used lime green for Christmas but quite like it - think it looks real fresh and clean. Was gonna try for clean and simple but never seem to get it right - just had to bling it up a bit with the little gems in the middle of the snowflakes!!
let me know what you think.

I already have 1, this makes 2 so only 3 to go lol. Not to worry though as Rebecca and I are staying in craft room all day! Might be back with another card later but if not hope you all have a fab weekend and enjoy Strictly and X Factor!!!!

Expecting something?

Hello everybody, hope you're all well and keeping warm! Feeling much better today and so decided to make a card for my crafting friends' daughter who is expecting a baby! Decided to go with pink and blue as she doesn't know if its a boy or girl. Love how it all came together ......my fav style of card........again lol! And couldn't resist the cheeky sentiment!!!!! I've used scallop circle die to make my fav easel card and layered gingham paper on each scallop. The image is Lola Rose from Pink Petticoat, coloured with promarkers and is matted and layered with pink and blue card. All but the image is from my stash - isn't it amazing what you can find in your stash? If you're anything like me you'll have boxes and boxes of stuff that you just can't bear to part with!
Enjoy your evening,

Hiya, I feel like its been ages since i last posted anything! Just when i thought i was getting over my cold.........wham!........it hit me real hard..........again!..........but much worse than before. I've spent the last 3 days snuggled on sofa but hopefully that's the end of it now! Today's card is another go at clean & simple but not quite sure i've got the hang of it yet lol. It's just simple matting and layering with brown ribbon and sentiment.
Enjoy your evening

Who loves a Latte?

Morning everyone, first i'd just like to say thanks to you all for your good wishes - i think i'm starting to feel better today! Unfortunately, no 1 son feels poorly today! A big welcome to my new followers too - i'm going to visit you all back this weekend. Today's card is Luv a latte from Sugar Nellie and came to me in my candy win from Debbie (thanks again, Debbie) and i've coloured her in with promarkers. Thought i'd enter her in the Sugar bowl challenge - sketch with optional theme of clean & simple - is there too much white space? Maybe i should have used a smaller card? Oh well, let me know what you think. Enjoy the rest of your day and stay warm.

Oh, I love this - you get to have a peek at everyone else's workdesk's AND meet new blog buddies too!
Hosted by Julia, you can link up here. Not much going on today - I'm still battling the dreaded cold and feel dreadful so no crafting for me. I've joined with Ali's ATC swap and I did manage to get them finished  (you might just make them out in the middle of my desk) but can I find the little wallet things I bought to put them in??........no, they're nowhere to be found...........never mind, I'll just have to order some more!
Can't believe how tidy it looks....there's the usual bits and bobs, my lovely button jars, my promarker list, pen pots, to do pile.......ooooo and do you see that big brown box? That's some candy I won....it's fab.....will be getting stuck into that when I feel better!
Enjoy your day and don't forget to join my candy!
