With Love at Christmas

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well & warm.

It was a cold & frosty morning today.....boys had to scrape the windscreens before they

could go anywhere, think they might need to get up a bit earlier from now on lol.

Speaking of cold & frosty.....I found this image whilst I was looking for something else.

I have no idea where it's from but I fell in love with it straightaway....best of all there's

another one on the sheet!

I started with a base of navy card, added a silver mirri layer then 3 distressed paper

 layers & lastly the image. Lots of silver mirri snowflakes, a foiled sentiment & 

some faux gems....and that's it, job done!

Can't believe we're on Wednesday already.....and it's November tomorrow....oh my, where

is the year going? Think I better step it up a bit for Christmas, I'm way behind!

Thanks for calling & for any comment you might leave........see you tomorrow for

Thursday Throwback!

Explosion of Colour with Crafty Cardmakers!

 Hi friends, hope you're all well, warm & had a lovely weekend.

Today I have my Dt make for the latest challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers, the theme is:

EXPLOSION OF COLOUR

As usual, any & all crafts are welcome & if you pop over to the main blog you will

see some fabulous Dt makes for your inspiration....we're a very diverse team so

there's sure to be something to tickle your fancy!

I wanted the image to be the main focus of my make this time so I went with

decoupage.....aren't those poppies just beautiful? Here's a closer look at the layers:

Rightio, busy day today so I'll love you & leave you......thanks for calling....

.....see you tomorrow.

With Love

Hi friends....hope you're all well & having a lovely weekend.

I'm planning on a nice, peaceful craft-ernoon ......the tea (lasagne & salad) is all prepared,

jobs are done, cats are napping.....just need to pop the kettle on then I'm good to go!

Another card topper to share today......I'm not really much of a teddy person but just recently

I've been rather drawn to them so I suspect there'll be more popping up here. They do seem

to be very popular and I suppose if you like them then they'll suit for almost any

occasion. I started with a patterned card base, added a layer of textured white card, a

strip of pink foiled card then added the layers of decoupage, the sentiment is slightly

raised on foam pads then I finished with some faux gems & a little silver bow.

Okie dokie, that's me for today.....thanks for calling & for any comments you might

leave......see you tomorrow!

Something for the Weekend!

Morning crafty friends & bloggers, welcome to 'Something for the Weekend'.....the perfect

time to share something......anything you want, doesn't have to be crafty!

I have a card topper to share today....all pink & silver & black with lots of foiling too

although that doesn't show up too well in the photo, it's so much prettier IRL.

I was debating whether or not to put this on the front of a notebook so it could be used 

as one of those books that people sign & leave a little message in at parties.

Or I could make it into a card & make a notebook as well.....ooh, I've got a head

full of ideas now lol!

Nothing much planned here today, was going to have a wander around town with

my grandson but it's cold, dark & ever so wet so might have to have a rethink on that.

Do you have anything nice planned?

Thanks for calling......see you tomorrow.

Paper Frosting Friday!

    

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well & looking forward to the weekend.

So it's Paper Frosting Friday again.....the day I share my handmade embellishments......

......why Paper Frosting? Well, just because embellishments is such a mouthful.....

and paper frosting sounds so much nicer, I think.

So today I have some Harry Potter inspired envelopes to share, perfect for scrapbook 

pages, journals, card making........I'm sure there's many uses for them. I used more pages

 from my water damaged Harry Potter book, added an insert for journaling, stamping

etc., or you could add cinema tickets and/or receipts. What do you think? I wanted to

 keep them fairly plain then they could be added to as & when required.

Rightio, almost tea time so I better dash.....thanks for calling & for any comments

you might leave......see you over the weekend!

Thursday Throwback!

Hi friends, hope you're all well  warm....there was a definite nip in the air last night!

Welcome to Thursday Throwback where I'd love you to share your past makes...

......do you still love them.....would you change anything.......or would you

rather not admit to making them lol! As usual, if you'd like to join me just leave 

me a comment so's I can come visit you back.

As Halloween is almost upon us I thought I'd share some ATC's I made a fair

few years ago....I'm not sure where the image is from, maybe Dilly Beans?

The tombstone was die cut & coloured with promarkers, the mesh background

was from one of the £ shops & the letters were stickers.

Rightio, better go get something done if I want an hour (or two) in the

craft room later. Thanks for calling......see you tomorrow!

Boo!

Hi friends.....happy Wednesday!

A super quick post today, it's been one of those days when I've never stopped

but don't seem to have accomplished very much.... oh well, there's always

tomorrow lol. I have a little Halloween card topper to share today, all from the

bit box I distressed some paper layers, added some die cut cobwebs, a die cut spider

with a faux gem belly.....and the verse I made up myself & printed out!

Thanks for calling......see you tomorrow.
