O Christmas Tree!


I do seem to be having a bit of a Christmas tree theme this year (although haven't posted many of the results here so far, will have to rectify that, lol!) This card was made using a Penny Black stamp I have been using a lot and my other favourite items of the moment - card candy (can't stop sticking it all over) and my gold leaf (well silver in this case) from which I have been making sparkly, glittery 'ribbons' for many of my Christmas cards. I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Pollycraft Monday Challenge - glittery Christmas

The Crafty Pad - Christmas sparkle

2 Sisters - Christmas

Ellephantastic - Xmas

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - my favourite things

Totally Gorjuss - traditional christmas colours

Secret crafter Saturday challenge - sparkle and shine

Thought I had better get cracking with my Christmas cards! Particularly thought it was time to have a go with my new Dreamweaver snowflake stencil. Have had lots of fun getting messy with embossing paste, glitter and mica powders :-) I'm rather pleased with the look of this card and it was really quick and easy to make, just what is needed for Christmas cards! I am going to enter this card into the following challenges: A Gem of a Challenge - sketch Lothian Crafts - anything goes Whoopsi Daisy Free and Easy

WOYWW 116 - It's been a while

Wow, doesn't time fly when you are having fun! Can't believe I haven't posted for 3 months! Haven't really been doing that much crafting either unfortunately :-( Life is just too busy at the moment! I did manage to make the card you can see on my desk recently though. I've been playing with alcohol inks after a crafting friend recommended them. I'm rather pleased with how this card has turned out :-) My jeans weren't too pleased though when I squirted purple alcohol ink all over them, oops! Still, it has given them a new look, ha ha! The other thing on my desk today is some digi stamps from a magazine. I was looking for something suitable for hubby - big Birthday coming up in a few weeks along with our Wedding Anniversary, so I need to get cracking! I rather like these digis as quite a few designs suitable for the men in our lives :-) So, if you fancy a nosey round some other desks, visit Julia at the Stamping Ground to see what WOYWW is

WOYWW - 103

Morning fellow WOYWWers! Well I'm still struggling to balance work, new second home and card making, but I have managed to attend a couple of local classes recently and also managed to spend a couple of hours making cards on Sunday, hurrah! The results you can see on my desk. Feel like I've lost my mojo a bit though as because I haven't been at my desk for so long I can't remember where anything I need actually is, lol! A couple of photos of said house for you also now we have some furniture! The wood floor you can just about see in the photo of the living room is now sanded and is going to be varnished by my own (probably very sticky!) hands over the weekend! I'm also planning a bit of a revamp of the curtains in the same room although sewing really isn't my strong point. Will share the results if they aren't too bad ;-) So, if you have no idea what WOYWW is all about, pop over to Julia's blog at the Stamping Ground and check it out. PS APOLS TO ALL MY
