birthdays are like buses.........

none for ages, then all of a sudden - loads, and just my luck, my printer is playing funny b*****s when im trying to print out birthday sentiments, so have had to rely on a section of one of my trusty c'bug folders for this one. The image was donated (isnt it cute!). This yummy paper followed me home from a trip to Oyster stamps, I think it is made by Snugglebug, and it is supposed to be a boys design, but i think its far too pretty for that, lol!

I am entering this card into Pear Tree Designs - free for all challenge

Friendship Card

This is the card that I made for the December Friendship swap on Docrafts, it will be winging its way to my swap partner first thing tuesday morning

The image is a freebie from Little Musings, the "friends" wording is a section cut from a c'bug embossing folder.

The first one of the year!

Blog Post, that is!

Apologies for my lack of bloginess for the last couple of weeks. Its always a busy time of year, and a bit of a bind when you have to go to work as well!

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a great time seeing in the new year. As much as I love and enjoy the whole festive season, I am a little glad its all done now, so that I can set up my craft table in the dining room again - yay!

So its deckies down today and back to crafty-mess for me - Happy Days!

Teachers Gift

Here is a little something that I've made for Cameron's teacher. Its just a simple little shopping list pad, but you cant beat a bit of pretty paper to transform stuff!

for my brother

As soon as I saw this fab image from Pollycraft, I knew it would be perfect for my brother's Christmas card, his name is Maurice (the digi image - not my brother) and there is a very strange likeness there,lol! This sentiment was used with this image on one of the DT cards from
Joanne, and I thought it was just perfect!

for my parents

This is the christmas card I made for my parents, wanted to keep it fairy simple and elegant this time.

Backing paoer is "papermania, home for christmas", the main font is Chopin Script, and have used my wonderful ms border punch here, I think the ribbon and bow came from a box of thornton choccies, also added a wee bit of candy to finish.

Stuff to do when you're snowed in.....

Another horrid amount of snow during the night, the 71/2 inches that I mentioned on my last post, turned into 10 at 6am this morning, and it is still snowing now. Obviously the schools are shut and the kids are home, I am SOOOO glad I booked a days holiday off. We are going into hibernation today, and I am already hearing the call from my craft table.

Finished this wall hanging project yesterday, used scalloped edged and regular circle nesties, and embossed with swiss dots folder to give it some texture, cut the holly with a sizzix die and added red card candy, the green card is pearlescent and looks lush and finally the yummy dotty letters are from this freebie download from Summer Driggs

Speak to you all later, keep warm and safe friends. xx
