If Friends Were Flowers

Morning.. Today I have a card using the new Apple Blossom dies from Craft Stash which are available now in the store HERE! These are great quality stamps and matching dies for a fab price. I used the rose and the matching die on todays card!

The sentiment is also from the same set and it's finished off with a little edging die from paper smooches.

So glad it is Friday.. It has been a really long week and I am off to Mannheim with work next week so lots to do over the weekend.

Hope you all have a great day!

The Sky Is The Limit

So Saturday was so productive, I have another card for you today using some new stash .. one of the free Sale-A-Bration products from Stampin Up.. This is "The Sky Is The Limit" and you get it free when you spend £45 (that's enough of a sales pitch lol).  As soon as I saw the sketch from CAS(e) This Sketch this week I knew this was perfect for it!

A simple piece of soft sky card stock finished off with some little cloud die cuts.

Here is the sketch from CAS(e) This Sketch #154

Hope you all have a good day...

Cat Cuddles

Morning... I have a really simple card for you this morning using one of the pre-Christmas releases from LOTV, this one is Happy Cat.  Don't you just love these sweet kitties!

This card was for a friend I just needed to write a little note to and send a virtual hug through the mail!

Hope you have a great Monday!

Happy Birthday

Morning, I had the most constructive crafting day yesterday I have had for more than 12 months.. Think I managed about 12 cards over a couple of sessions (with a little help from Rachel over Skype!!).
I'm out of birthday cards, so you may see these pop up a lot over the next few weeks. This one is more suitable for a teen and I used one of the new Stampin Up goodies from the Spring/Summer catalogue, Timeless Textures.  I think this one may be as popular as Gorgeous Grunge!

Inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #218

I'm hoping to sort out my supplies list again at some point today.

Since it's raining, another day in the loft is probably in order... Have a great Sunday!

Mr & Mrs

Morning.. So finally managed a little crafting this year.. Been a busy week and even though I had two weeks off over the holiday season I did zero crafting... I had other things to concentrate on and didn't force myself to craft.  I'm hoping 2016 sees my mojo come back in full force (although with how many mistakes I made on this card I'm not sure).

I thought I would start off the year with Less Is More and it's one layer week... I can't remember the last time I made a one layer card that is for sure!!. The theme is flourishes so as I go through the mass of unused stash I decided to use some CBS... this one is Magnolia Blooms... Love these flourish leaves!!

I have a load of DT cards to make today to get ahead... nothing like a bit of pressure! But hey, it's raining, again, so I can justify not leaving the loft I think!

Have a great Saturday... I'm hoping to be back soon!

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!
