Morning Peeps!!
Thank goodness it's Friday - I am done in!!! Working, packing, working!!! Grr!!
Anyway time for our Friday Challenge over at SCD . Our theme this week is to make your Xmas Card with Blue , White and Snowflakes - Wonderful combination... AND Pia is still our Guest Designer, she makes the most beautiful cards..
Well I'm heading out the door, have a great weekend
Well I have taken a break from the bloomin' packing and had a card making rest !! Have soooo much to do and can't seem to see the wood for the trees! Wondering from room to room with bits and bobs then find myself back where I started!! Grrr!
Anyway enough already!
The theme over at Winter Wonderland is St Nicholas... I love this stamp, it's just how I imagine Santa to be!!!
The lovely flock paper is from Making Memories and is gorjusss!! I kept the card quite simple with not much embellishments. The snowflake is a Cuttlebug die and is glittered with Glamour Dust. Added Stickles to Santa's beard to finish.
Welcome to another Friday Challenge over at SCD - It's still Xmas cards now our theme this week is Pink Card with a Xmas Tree somewhere on your card...
Well I'm off to tackle some more packing, the house is like a bomb site and I can't believe it's really happening!!
Our Truly Scrumptious challenge this week is another sketch by ME!! as you can probably tell by the sub standard drawing!!!! LOL. Sorry PeeepS!!
Our theme is "Touchy Feely" so we want to see texture on your cards this week!
I have used a cute stamp from The Craft Barn called Woody and he is coloured with Pro Markers. The flower is felt and I used Ric Rac for more texture.
We are sponsored by Pink Gem Designs and take a look at this cutey pie stamp you can win...
Also further to my news about selling my house - it has now definitely been sold and I am now homeless!!!!
EEEK I'm having a meltdown !! although I have put in an offer on another house but looks like it could be a drawn out affair so I will be moving out in a couple of weeks so bare with me meantime as I might not be around much over the next few weeks. I feel the stress coming on already... Watch this Space folks!!!
Back again!! Two cards in one night!!!
Winter Wonderland has also got a lovely sketch this week. Eeeh I'm in Xmas card mode tonight!! LOL
Used the luscious My Minds Eye papers for this...
Afternoon! What a busy weekend it's been here, my heating packed up and it has been bloomin' fffrrreeezing!! It needs a new "bit" - Quite a big "bit" apparently so better start saving now me thinks!!! Grrrr, Just what I needed at this time of year. I am also trying to sell my house and have seen another one I like but things are not progressing very well so forgive me if I haven't been around much lately.. I have SO much going on!! and the heating was just the last straw - What are the chances of it breaking down when I intend to sell!!!
Anyway I was having a look through some challenges to take my mind off and spotted this lovely sketch over at 365 Cards - I thought I would give it a go.
Morning everyone!

Well there I was running late at lunch time like a bear with a sore head. Got drenched in the rain and looked like a "drooked rat" (Kath! you'll know what I mean), trousers soaked up to the knees this bloomin' weather is driving me mad!! Got in and wheee there was a brown envelope now I started to wonder what I had ordered and forgotten about!!
Ripped it open and out popped the most beautiful card and little box with some gorgeous notelets and envelopes inside. What, Who???..........
All from the loveliest friend that is Terrie Bailey - What a lovely surprise and just what I needed to lift my mood....
I'm forever drooling at the stunning stuff she creates but to actually HOLD them in my crafty paws - Yum!!!
So Thank You Terrie - You Rock!!! and it made me smile for the rest of the drippin' wet day!!! LOL
Wow do you fancy becoming a Stamp Designer and Demonstrator????
Well this is the Competition for you!
The Craft Barn are searching for a new Stamp Designer to join the team.
So to find out all the details hop over to The Craft Barn Blog HERE.
Afternoon and did you remember to put the clocks back!! No longer lie for me just woke up at my normal time so it will probably feel like a long day today!!!
I hopped over to Winter Wonderland and saw that it was an open theme so I dug out this Cuttlebug Folder that has been lying around for months unused.
The flowers were a download from Jak's Crafters Kitchen, the paper is Anna Griffin. I had a total nightmare trying to photograph this card, the light is horrendous.
Bad Mr Blogger - Couldn't get in to my blog this morning!!!
Morning!!!! We are having the worst time of it up here with the weather. It has rained for days and I for one am cracking up!!!
It's also time for another week of Inchies over at SCD - Our theme this week is "FACES". Thanks so much to everyone who continues to join us every week.
The nights are getting so dark so early and boy it's only something like 9 weeks until Xmas - I can't burleeeeeve it really, it only seems like yesterday I was tucking in to my Xmas dinner...!!
Oh and don't forget to put your clocks back this weekend!!
Afternoon from a wet and wild North East!!
The Winter Wonderland challenge this week is Xmas Stockings, now I didn't have much in the stocking department in my stash but came across this cute felt sticker... there's something magical about Xmas Stockings maybe it's the anticipation of what's gonna be in them on Xmas Morning!!!
Well I'm off to do some cleaning and ironing EEEK!! Lots of fun for me this Sunday!!! (NOT!!)
Well here we are again folks another Friday flying by!
We are having a Black and White inchie theme over at SCD. Our DT have created some fantastic creations and all so different.

So on to this weeks SCD challenge - It's still inchies and our theme is BIRDS..
So if you fancy trying our Inchie Challenge this week, hop over and check out the other gorgeous DT creations.. Lots of inspiration there!
Well I have squeaked in this card , didn't have much time for crafting today so the challenge over at WW is "Sleigh Bells Ring". I love this Crafty Individual stamp which I got from The Craft Barn and at the moment I just love black and white Xmas cards.
The flourishes are from a set from Anna Griffin one of my best purchases in ages, they are so beautiful.
Well it's X Factor night and can't wait to see who gets picked.
Ooh and don't forget to check out the new look Craftbarn Site and the blog for the Treasure Hunt which starts tomorrow - there is seriously yummy candy up for grabs!
OOh I had fun doing this pumpkin and tree!!
You can find the tutorial on this lady's blog HERE, scroll further down for the actual post. Unfortunately I couldn't link it direct.
The stamp is by Sandra Dry and is called The Barnets part of The Scarecrow Collection - available HERE at The Craft Barn. It's coloured with watercolours.
I also got this fantastic Xmas Tree from The Craft Barn begging to be altered. I used Cosmic Shimmer Copper Bronze and ~Olympic Gold Lustre Embossing powders to cover the shape. I then added seed beads and a gem for the "star" adding some Glamour Dust or the obligatory sparkles!!
I can tell you it took ages to get them pesky beady blighters exactly where I wanted them!!! (LOL) but I loved the end result a great little tree ornament.
I also received this wonderful award from my lovely bloggy bud Teresa - Hope you're feeling loads better after your minor surgery!!! Thanks sooo much for thinking of me...
