Engaged

Hello long time no blog! Back to crafting agin after the Christmas holidays. So a gentle start today with an engagement card for a friend. All papers are from a collection by Sarah Lugg - I hope they like it.

A Huddle of Snowmen

Last card for today. This one is one I very nearly forgot! I have used the scribble snowman again - can you tell i like him? This time I stamped him 3 times and cut one out - yet again he is coloured with water coloured pencils. The snow on his hat is made with stickles for a nice sparkly finish - just cause I like sparkle

Christmas Tag Card

My eldest son doesn't send many Christmas cards so when he asked if I would make him one for his friends I couldn't really say no. This is another card made with mainly Brenda Pinnick elements. With the addition of rub on leters for the names.

Christmas ATCs

More Christmas today - must be coming to an end!! This time some ATCs for friends - one made with good old house mouses coloured in with water coloured pencils. The next on was made with good old scribble snowman and some added snow!
I hope they like them.

3 Christmas cards

3 cards made for a last minute order by my husband!!! These cards are all made with Brenda Pinnick kits - different pieces taken from various kits. Then words are either stickers or made with a quickutz and good old stickles added for the christmas sparkle.

London Treat

A card for an order today - I was provided with the poem and just had to make the card around it. Though it doesn't look very Christmasy I really like it - maybe thats why!!

Santa ATC

Yet again I have made an ATC to match a page! This time it for someone I owe one to .I made this one the same as the fatbook page but I added some peewee glitter to the top and bottom to make it sparkle

Father Christmas

****Happy Christmas****


Found a few spare minutes today inbetween wrapping presents and writing cards to make a quick challenge page! Father Christmas was the challenge so fairly easy - I coloured the stamp board and the back of the page with cherry pink stazon. Then stamped the sants and words in black stazon. To finish the page i punched holes with my cropodile and put eyelets and fibre in them.

Black ATC

Here is an ATC to go with Black is Black fat book page! This is for an ATC Challenge "butterflies and dragonflies" so while i had the butterfly stamp out i thought i would make good use of him! This time i embossed him in with holographic embossing powder.

Ghostly Christmas

This Christmas card I have made for the designer of the ghost stamp! I think she might be a bit suprised to see he still exsists. I embossed him with seafoam white embossing powder to make look snowy.

Black is Black

Long time no play ! Today took a few minutes off from Christmas things and made a fat book page I have promised someone. This page is very black as you can see - i hope the detail will show on the picture! I stamped the images with versamark and embossed it in clear.

Sparkle cards!

Two cards made for an order and a chance to play with my cricut. Christmas tree and name were cut with cricut. On the christmas card I used rub-ons for the words and names.

Christmas Album 2007

I had a short break from cardmaking and fat book making yesterday and did the cover of a small Christmas album instead. The album and most of the embellisments are from a Brenda Pinnick kit. Now all i need to do is fill the inside!

Good Luck

Here is a good luck foldy thing I made for Linda as she was going to start a new job!I decided to use browns and creams

The letters were cut on a cricut then they were stuck onto a square that I had stamped with a twig design stamp(another one of lindas designs)I stamped words that I thought appropriate for a new job

Lion page and some Snowflakes

After spending a day at Hobbycrafts at the NEC I have got some more inspiration which is a good as I had been struggling for a few days to produce anything at all!!



I am taking part in a regular 3 for 3 swap so I made one lion page and 2 snowflake pages and here they are.
























My lion page was made by stamping the lion (another stamp by designed by Linda!)I then coloured him in with watercolour pencils. I added a crown to his head cause he is the King of the jungle after all. Finally I fought with my copper Krylon pen and made a right old mess (I think it is coming to the end of it's useful life) think I managed to mop up most of the mess luckily!






My snowflake page is very simple just a quote stamp by Butterfly Kisses embossed with red sparkle embossing powder by Imagepac and large snowflakes embossed on the background. Finishing touches of a red brad and red ribbon were then added.

Last Christmas Pages!!!

This is my last batch of Christmas Pages! Backgrounds were stamped with Paperartsy xmas stamp then from the same pack of stamps I stamped the christmas pudding recipe onto paper and some stampboard. I luckily found a small christmas pudding stamp . Pages were finished off with copper dabber around the edges.

Sunflower page

Today as well as finishing all my snow man pages - 22 in all! I made a RAK page I promised someone. The house mouse was stamped with brown stazon then was coloured in with water colour pencils. I then went round the edges of the page with a gold dabber. A little white ribbon was added across the corner to finish it off.
