HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Hope you all had a great Christmas!!

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!!....... Just thought I'd show a card I unfortunately had to make last week, my Uncles' father passed away peacefully and I sent him this card to let him know I am thinking of him.

Last Christmas Cards to show

Hi everyone, sorry haven't posted for a few days, you know how it is!!! Just thought I'd show the last of the Christmas Cards and a cute little triangle box............ I am going to Cardiff for the weekend, hopefully more to show you next week.

Beautiful Boxes

Hi everyone, hope you all had a fab weekend........ I went to Crafts U Love for a class on Saturday with the fabulous Kim Fee, look what we made............ aren't they pretty!!!! we made some small cards for the insides of the boxes so they are perfect for little pressies... sorry some of the photos are not good quality...

foral for a change

Hi everyone, needed to make some birthday cards for stock, so tried this stamp from Magenta, I love it!!! (it's Kim Fees' fault I bought it) ha ha ha, so easy to work with, for the main image on the first one I masked a bit of it off, on the other card I have used a Penny Black stamp too on shrink plastic. Hope you all have a fab weekend.....

My daughters' card

Hi everyone, just thought I'd show you my daughters' Christmas card, I've used the My Minds Eye papers and embellishments. added some ribbon and trimmings around one of the trees, gems and glamour dust. there is also a little tag in the pocket I made and I stamped on that. also a couple of scraps of ribbon on the right hand tree.... not sure of the layout of this one......

Quickie Elzybells card

Hi everyone, just a quickie today, Elzybells stamp that I have had for ages coloured with Promarkers, scallop card from Crafts U Love, various snowflakes stamped on the base card and greetings stamp, mounted her onto some Bazzill card and added some ribbon and lace from stash, hope you like......Have a great weekend everyone.

Gift Bags

Hi everyone, Hope you're all having a good week..... I'm NOT!!!!!!!!! anyway, enough of that........

I got these blank paper gift bags from Crafts U Love, a real bargain, £1.00 for 10 I think it was!! anyway the first one, I stamped with my Stampin' Up! roller thingy, Jolly Holly, in Green Ivy Pearlescent ink, then edged with Dovecraft sticky ribbons, added red Stickles to the berries. the topper is just a Hero Arts stamp backed onto a few layers and added some ribbon from stash. The second is pretty self explanatory I think..... I hope you like..

3 (not 4) candles

Just a quickie to show you some candles I have decorated, I'm not getting the smooth finish that I would like with the stamped ones, must keep practising!!
