Bah Humbug challenge...

The girls over at Bah Humbug have given yet another great challenge and this week its LACE.
I've used the bauble from the Stampin Up set 'Comtempo Christmas', added a few sparkles to the Bauble and mounted it into nesties and then added lace around the edge.
Backing papers and punches are also from S.U. along with the sentiment. Just noticed that one of my gems has fallen off the bauble so had better go and replace it.
Picking the grandchildren up today so no crafting for me until next week end....hopefully the weather will be kind for the next week.  There will be hopefully a couple of pre schedule posts but thats about it...

This little lady along with other LOTV stamps has sat on my desk for ages waiting to be made onto a card so as we have our grandchildren  with us as from tomorrow for a week I am trying to clear my desk so that I will have a couple of cards to schedule for next week if Mr Blogger lets me!!

Image is coloured with pencils, backing papers are from SU, Martha Stewart butterfly and the sentiment is also LOTV. Flowers punches from the reverse of the backing paper using EK Success flower punch, make of leaf punch is unknown.

Not such a nice day here in Somerset still warm but we have drizzle....

A Royal Visitor...

No card to show you today as I have been doing a craft workshop with my friend Jan.  The workshop was for Carers and was held at Dillington House, Ilminister, Somerset which is set in beautiful grounds.

THe NHS trust arrange for the carers to have a day where they can normally choose 2 workshops of their choice,  but today because we had a royal visitor The Princess Royal (Princess Anne) they only did one workshop.  We were lucky enough to be the only workshop (Craft) that the Princess came into, she took time to speak to many of the carers and also to Jan and I.

The day ended with a lovely lunch and I hope that all the ladies in our workshop enjoyed the day and they all went home with a completed card and a bag.

4 cards from one stamp....

 While making my Penny Black challenge card I thought I would make 3 other cards using the same stamp, these are the other 3 cards I've made. Some stamps are so versatile and this one certainly is.

Two of the penguins put together and mounted onto a nesties.  Backing paper from stash.
SU star punch.

On this card I just cut the heads off two of the penquins and mounted them onto SU circle and scallop punches and pop them onto the SU Top Note die.  Other punches used are SU oval and label punch, small holly punch.  Backing paper is SU.

This little chap I've put on his own, mounted onto glitter card, placed onto a nesties.  SU backing papers.

A few more Christmas cards to add to my pile..



Thanks for looking
