Holly and a rose

Hi All and hope you are all having a lovely day and that extra hour is great, but all I have done is been to the Garden centre and bought some more Yankee candles ( as if I dont have enough in the draw)

Anyway on to the beautiful cards we made with Jane using her latest Woodware stamps, and a few punches.

I just love this background with all the Christmas carols on.

 And last but not least the Christmas rose.

Happy crafting xx

Sparkly Christmas

Hello all. I am thinking winter is on its way, it's lovely and sunny but a very cold nip in the air. At least it seems a bit more believable for making Christmas cards. The below were made the other week in 28 degrees! not quite right and makes the glitter stick to your skin more! We did all look lovely and sparkly by the end of the day.

 I think there is a bit of everything here, embossing, stamping, die cuts and of course GLITTER.

 This was a class with Alexandra Kamann it was great fun and some lovely ideas. Off to make some more now, happy crafting and keep warm xx

Impatience

Morning all on this lovely bright sunny October morning and my is it hot, very bizarre.
This was from a class held last month, no need to say it was Jane Gill I don't think. Who else makes such beautiful flowers.

 I think the candy stripe paper really sets these flowers off, and my dodgy swirls done by hand with perfect pearls, then put my big hand in in before it dried!

Happy Sunday to you all, I have been making Christmas cards the last two days, seems weird in this lovely sunny weather we are having, feels like we are in Australia, with the sun at Christmas. Be back soon xx

Yes im back!

Hello fellow blogger, ok yes I have been missing for a while and im sorry! Any way im back now hope fully with lots to show, and yes the C word is here as we have already started on Christmas....
I had a 70th Birthday card to do for one of the girlies at work (for her Dad) who likes Chelsea. I decided to do a twisted easel card using peel off's sizzix, little Claire's and quikutz dies, a peel off and the good old folded shirt. Thank you June for the loan of the die as I have lost mine........ and the other bits.

It is my intention to be back very soon, lets hope I keep to my word. Happy blogging to you all xx

Floral Punch craft

Hello blogland, sorry a long overdue post!
Another stunning design from Jane Gill is there no end to her talent.... I love making these flowers and as some go these were pretty easy.

 The message was from one of Jane's Woodware set's.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend, down in the south we have managed to escape the rain and Thunder showers so far. Hope to be back soon xx

And one for Dad

Oh my what a thunder storm we had today, but not much cooler!
Here is the card I made for my Dad for Fathers day, featuring little Warren rabbit,from my craftwork card set of stamps. Hope you all watched Julie on QVC last month she was fab, must admit I dont usually watch it but had to tune in to see her with Craftwork Cards, and she will be back on the 12th July I have been told.


I've never made a step card before as never really liked them, but I think it suited this little chap. Papers were from Craft Creations, image coloured with copics and coloured stickles. Just a quick update on Mum who is making a slow but sure recovery and wants to thank you all for the well wishes she has received, and a big thank you from me too. Bye for now and can we please have the sunshine back xx

Magnolia week 111

Hello crafters. Obviously had my craft head on this weekend as lots got made and even a challenge.
Magnolia paper piecing I love this technique. Papers were craft creations, a tad of glitter and a windmill. I think the Magnolia is princess Tilda!

Hope you are not all getting washed out with the rain. Be back soon with more xx
