Owl Birthday and a Little Blog Re-Design

Morning... I'm so far behind on Christmas this year, I'm thinking I might just sleep through it... Zero mojo when I have been at home means only a handful of cards have been made and I've not even thought about the fact they have to be posted today!!!

I'm finally at home for a full 2 weeks (the first time since March this year I will have been at home for a whole week) and looking forward to getting back into the swing. Just glad that the trips to Birmingham are over and life may have some sign of being normal.. at least for a few weeks until the travel kicks off with USA in late January.

I have re-organised "The Loft" and even re-designed by blog over the weekend ready for a new start in blogging.. I hope you like it!

Anyhow, enough waffling, I do have a card for you today... It was Rachel's Birthday a couple of weeks ago and this is the card I made for her..

This is using the very cute Ruby Flying Owl from Stacey Yacula Studio. The sentiment is computer printed and foiled and a little Gorgeous Grunge from Stampin Up in the background!

I may not be around all the time but I love seeing what you all create... I know my life is very different that when I started blogging and time for crafting is rare at the moment and I want to continue to share with you all.

Have a great Monday.. I better get some Christmas Cards sorted and posted asap..

Enjoy The Magic Of Christmas

Morning.. December is finally here so I no longer feel guilty bombarding you with Christmas cards.

I have used Apple Blossom Christmas Cheer for this card which you can find at a bargain £1.59 on Craft stash HERE! This was another DT card for Craft Stash!!

Kept it simple as always using embossing powder and fabulous DSP from Stampin Up.

Hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday!

Winter Wonderland

Morning... Today's card I made a few weeks ago as my Craft Stash DT card.... This is the Apple Blossom Winter Wonderland stamp set.  I absolutely love the deer silhouettes in the set.

For this card I added some tumbled glass distress ink to a wet piece of water colour card.  After stamping the image and sentiment I added some chunky embossing powder to create the snowy effect.

After spending yesterday cleaning up pretty much the whole house I thought I better catch up on Christmas cards today... think I may need to make a few more like this!

Have a great Sunday.

Sometimes Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries

Morning... Up early this week so I thought I would sneak in this weeks Less Is More challenge before I get on with the day ahead... The girls definitely know how to challenge us... Fruit is something I just don't have a lot of...

A quick glance through the Stampin Up stamps and I came across Giggle Greetings... Perfect!!!

It's simply coloured in with Copics and I used one of the Simon Says stitched dies to cut out the panel.

Sorry the photo is so bad... I really need to sort out my set up!!

I'm off to the gym then I need to clean the house ready for the Christmas Decorations to go up... Hope you all have a great Saturday!

Make A Splash

Erm, I'm a little behind in showing you my Lili Of The Valley Design Collective cards.. this one I think is from October! I love this image.. suits me to the ground, it's on the the calendar fairies!

Simply coloured in with Copics and a little washi tape (from my huge stash) to go with it!

I'm off to finally see James Bond tonight and then a fun filled weekend of cleaning and Christmas shopping .. and I must finish those cards too....

Hope you all have a great Friday

Happiest Birthday Wishes

Morning.... I'm up early today as so much to do.. My wandering suitcase returned yesterday morning which changed the days plans slightly and meant a large amount of washing and sorting needed to be done.
Today the gym (for the first time since I came back from hols) and then Sunday lunch is on the cards... Then I really need to make some batch Christmas cards .....

Enough waffling and onto today's card... I have used the Watercolour Wishes Card Kit from Stampin Up.  To be honest I bought this set purely because I loved the sentiment stamps in the set that are not available separately, but I decided I had to make some cards using all the other elements.  This one uses one of the card blanks where I have trimmed off the back and mounted on a coloured card blank.

I think I'll make some more up to give as a gift of note-lets for Christmas.

Have a great Sunday!

December 25

Morning... Yes I know it's been a while, I've been on holiday (and stranded in Sharm lol), couple of work trips and not much time at home since mid October.  I had hoped i would get back on track, but I never seem to have much time.....
A day of crafting planned for today, I thought I would start with this weeks Less Is More which is use Numbers!

Kept the card really simple... trying to ease my way back in slowly....

The month stamps from Lili Of The Valley have come in useful for this card and it is simply finished off with a die cut 25 and some doodlebug sequins.

I hope I'll have plenty to show you in the next few days and weeks....

Have a great Saturday!
