Wishing you all one happy little christmas

Hope you all have a great couple of days in whatever way, and with whoever, you spend it.

For my DT card I couldnt resist this reindeer.

 

He is coloured with promarkers, and mounted with Go Kreate dies. The paper is an oldie from Papermania and the gingham section is Washi tape. Ribbon and pearls from stash.

The Cutie Pies Christmassy One!

Hi to you all! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend and are getting on top of your Christmas preparations. Am just about done with the pressie shopping, so slowly getting there!

Anyway, as its Monday its challenge day with Cutie Pie's and this time round we want to see your Cute Christmas cards....so its a nice easy one, as its such a busy time for everyone we have also exteneded the duration of this challenge, so it will run to the beginning of January. We are sponsored this time by our lovely friends at

 

 So, onto my own DT card, and I have used a super cute Tilda!

She is coloured with Promarkers, the papers are from Helz Cuppleditch "special delivery", the ribbon and card candi from stash, the snowflakes are Marianne dies and the sentiment is my own creation

 

We would love to see your super cute cards, so you can join in, or just check out the other adorable DT cards by clicking the box below

 

I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:

another day, another doily!

Hi to you all! So its monday again, and I have booked today off work to go do some Christmas shopping....yay! Its mostly stocking fillers on the list today, as the hubby and I were super organised and sat down at the computor last Thursday and ordered most of the pressies on-line - easiest Christmas shopping trip ever!!!

Anyway, my card today is a Mid Challenge DT card for our "Use a doily" challenge with THE CUTIE PIES. We still have a week to go with this one, so plenty of time for you all to join in!
I have once again used an image from our sponsor Pink Gem, which is coloured with promarkers, and have used go kreate dies to cut and layer. The doily is from Pretty Little Ribbon shop, the papers are from Helz Cuppleditch "special delivery" which i've used lots this year. The sentiment is a freebie from the wonderful Bizzy Becs I have steered away from adding buttons, or pearls or whatever, to try and keep my postage costs down a little. Having family and friends in various parts of the country can get kinda expensive this time of year!

Well, have a good day, whatever your up to!

I would also like to enter this card into these challenges:
little claires - Christmas
crafty anns - birds

This very sweet image comes from our sponsor this time, The Paper Shelter, and is coloured, as ever, with the promarkers. The sentiments are my own work.

The One where the Cutie Pies got busy with Doily's

Hello all! Hope you've all had a smashing weekend and that inspite of the horrid weather we've been seeing, you're all keeping safe, warm and dry! It was abusy weekend for me, with my craft fair on Saturday - which didnt go too badly. Didnt sell a lot of cards but my other goodies like Reindeer food and pet treats went really well.

So, as its Monday, its time for another Cutie Pie challenge! We've got a lovely one for you all this time, as our theme is "Use a Doily"

We are sponsored by the wonderful Pink Gem who are offering three digi's to our winner, and also gave us lucky DT girls some adorable images to play with.......so here is my DT card

Have used a precoloured image called Faye with flowers, and have popped her onto a go kreate cut circle and a scalloped circle before placing her onto her doily, which incidently, came from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. The paper is  "back to basics" from dovecraft. Ribbon, button, twine and pearls from stash. The "sweet" wording is a small section of a cuttlebug embossing folder.

We would love to see you joining us for this challenge - if you're busy with your Christmas cards, then this is a perfect challenge too!

I would also like to enter this card into: cute card thursday - girls only

Craft Fair day!

So after weeks of preparations, my boxes are all packed up, my price tickets printed and my cash float jangling in my tin, I am now all ready for the craft fair I am off to this morning, looking at the weather forecast I am not overtly optimistic about the turnout - but here's hoping! Will catch up with you all later xx

The one with "Snowy"

Hi all! Hope you've all had a good weekend!

So we are mid way through our Brown and Cream Christmas challenge with

THE CUTIE PIES

I thought I'd make another DT card for this one (plus its another card for my box!)

 

This time I have used this gorgeous Penny Black "Snowy " stamp, and coloured it with promarkers - dont know if its that super John Lewis Christmas advert, but I do like a snowman!!

There is still a week to join in with this one, we would love to see your creations!

the one with the sheep and the wellies

Hope you're all having a lovely week!

 

So we're midway through the latest Aud Sentiments Challenge and that means its time for the Team B cards......and here is mine! The theme for this challenge is

"Use the word - Thank(s)"

 For my DT card I have used a bit of an old favorite of mine.....this adorable image is from the "Just for ewe" set from Pink Petticoat, which I think I bought about three years ago, but its those wellies that keep bringing me back to using it!!! Have used the trusty promarkers to colour, and have used a lacy circles nestie. The papers are from Lucy Cromwell papermania set (pink polka dots) and the other is a download from Sweet  Shoppe designs. The sentiment is my own creation using Tempus Sans font and a Nellie Snellen die. Ribbon and buttons are from stash.

The Cutie Pie one that was brown, cream and Christmassy!

Hi all! Hope you've all had a smashing weekend. It was another busy one for me.....I have just about finished decorating my lounge! It has actually taken me since about April, but to be fair we did have to carry out fairly extensive work to our chimney breast, and there have been factors like work and holidays as well, but its nice now to have it done (will upload photos at some point) and so its on to the next room (I have paint in my shed for every room in the house!!!)

 

Anyway, onto todays card, and as it is Monday its challenge day with The Cutie Pies and this time our theme is

Brown & Cream Christmas

 

Our lovely sponsors for this challenge are

This is my DT card

I have used this adorable Mousie images from Floppy Latte, and coloured with promarkers and a little bit of stickles

The paper is a freebie download from Summer Driggs "boy oh boy" set

The snowflake is a Marianne die (which I am soooo glad I got - last year I was using the cuttlebug ice crystal die but this one is so much nicer, imo)

button, twine and card candy from stash

This is a little different from the usual Christmas colour schemes but we do hope you'll come and play along with us!

The one with the cute little angel

Hello all, hope you're having a good week so far.  Have had a busy week and not had a lot of time for blogging or crafting, and have also had the hubby at home and under my feet for the last few days too!

 Hi all! Back to work for me today, sadly! It was hard work this morning getting the jammies off and putting the uniform back on, lol!

Anyway, its challenge time with aud sentiments and what we'd like you to do this time is use a STORY BOOK QUOTE as your sentiment on your card or project. We are sponsored this time my Sassy Studios, so thank you to them!

As you can see, for my DT card I went for the master of profound quotes himself, Winnie the Pooh! I think this is a wonderful sentiment!

Desk Jotters: these gorgeous bulldog clips were a fantastic bargin from Staples - got a big bag of about 40 of them for £3!!!! Fancy squares are Go Kreate dies

Bookmarks: My hubby uses these giant paper clips for his work timesheets......well I just had to rescue some from his bag and make better use of them!

Mini notebooks: these were 18p from Wilkos, going to do a few more, and try and find similar of different sizes.

Pringle tin Santa pot: probably going to put candy canes and/or festive pencils in this - was quite pleased with the way this turned out, so will probably do a couple more.......this will involve more eating of the pringles though!!!!

Have also been working on the likes of Reindeer food and Reindeer poo - will add photos at a later date. I know some of you are doing bits like this at the moment, so hope you like these and if they have given any ideas and inspiration - all the better xx

 (and a wee side view) 

I thought this Gorjuss Girl image summed up the occasion perfectly (and I think she sums up me as a crafter as she has cheerfully left paper all over the floor, that she'll no doubt get round to hoovering up eventually, lol) The papers and the bunting are from Dovecrafts Tea Party range, doily from Pretty Little Ribbon shop, gems and twine from stash and again the sentiment tickets are my own creations.

The one that was made specially for a crafty buddy!

Hi all, hope you're all having a good day. If im honest today has been a bit pants! Cameron is off on a school geography trip to Chedder Gorge, I had to take him to school at 6.15am and it was cold, wet and miserable! When I got to work and found out that our company auditor was in do to his 6mnthly audit, it was clear that the day wasnt gonna get any better. I was hoping to get away half an hour earlier to make up for some overtime I did earlier in the week, but thanks to some "missing" invoices I ended up leaving an hour later.  Left work with a thumping head, so took Nippy for a run in the park for some fresh air, only to get caught in the rain again!!! Apologies for my moaning, I know, I know worse things happen at sea (as my granny used to say)

So, onto todays card and this is a birthday card I've made for a lovely Docraft and blog friend Carol, who as you can see is celebrating a bit of a spesh birthday.

This super cute H&S image is coloured with the pro's, I think the papers are from The Paper Cellar, the Ivy die is from Poppy Stamps, doily from Pretty Little Ribbon Shop, the pearls and the ribbon slider are from Meiflower (at bluewater show) and the sentiment tickets are my own work. The l/o was based on

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:

The one with the mouse and the treat box!

So, every now and then I get overcome with an "anything but a card" urge...and then I stumbled across this on Tracey's amazing blog and couldnt resist having a go. This it the "toot" that I followed click here, and considering I am not great at following measurements and stuff, I was amazed at how easy it was to do, mine might not be a patch on Tracey's but not bad for a first attempt!

 

I even going to be very brave and enter it into these challenges:
anything goes - animals
the stamping boutique - pink, pink, pink
cupcake craft - pink
dis digi designs - animals acting like people  dont think  mice usually wear jumpers!

Oh just to add - the image is from Di's Digi Designs, flowers are a joycraft die, paper, candy and doily from stash.
