A Simple Xmas card

 

Hi guys.

Well I have just been playing and came up with the below:

Papers from the crop box ( I will beat this box!!!!). The stamp is from the Kanban Betsie Bob – Magic of Christmas. I have used my Promarkers to colour. Not forgetting the card candy and nesties.

A closer look at the stamp and I do love this one.

Hope you like.

Duncan gone to see his Daughter, Tabitha and I am at home with Jennifer who is not having the best of days…….it as been a lot worse in the past but the house is quiet at the moment……so I am making the most of it. I have followed another sketch from the wonderful challenge blog Sunday sketch and Stamp challenge……

Have you seen the new thing for me?????????

I have added BEADS!!!!!!!!!
I have used papers from the crop box ( this box seems to get fuller and fuller every time I go near it!). Beads have been in a drawer for a few years…….another secret!!!!!!!! I have used the Penelope and Percy stamps from Daisy and Dandelion Christmas Collection. I have used my Promarkers to colour and the every present nesties…………I don’t think I could make a card without my nesties. Oh and the ribbon is from the stash. I have even embossed the me to you saying.....

First Xmas card made this year!

 

Hi guys,

Yes you read correctly….I have made my first Xmas card this year……..I know I am terrible!!!!!!!!  My excuse is that the mojo is still returning slowly and you can not rush these things. This card is for Nanny…….Duncan’s Grandma.

If you look closely I have managed to add some of the tatting………listen I have to make use of this or the Hubby will be asking the question why do I tat if I can not use it. This would effect the purchasing in the future……I have thought about this quite a bit.  LOL!!!!

I have used the stamp Molly Blooms designed by Clare……I think I could fall in love with these stamps. I have used my Promarkers to colour her in. The papers have been in the stash for years and I have been braved and used them at last………….I am sure there a other crafters who understand this and have papers in the stash that come out for that special card and at the end of the project goes back into the stash with drool marks at the edges!!!! Come on own up!!!!!!!

Well I have to think of what the next card is for me to make…………the brain cell is hurting already……LOL.

I hope you like.

My crocheted boxes

Hi Guys,

Like I said before that I seem to pick crafts I can do downstairs in the room as my craft room is quite cold in winter.  I decided that for Christmas presents I would make Duncan’s mum and Sister in Law some crochet boxes with a little something inside.

Here they are and I am so proud of them.

The pattern I used did not have the white edges or the flowers. The edge I did by myself and the flower I got out of a weekly mag I get.

I hope you like and do say hi.

Last minute cards for the O/H

A typical bloke trick and it happened………I did ask a couple of times do you want any cards doing for xmas and he keep saying no……..day before Christmas Eve and the request came for 5 cards. So here is what I made for him………

I had to make these in an afternoon……..I made the other half buy me some stash for this……so in the end it was worth it.

Thanks for looking and do say Hi.
