HAP - PEA Christmas....

This card was inspired by my lovely blogging friend Marianne after seeing one of her cards...  I've this Cottage Cutz die (Peas in a Pod) for very long time, just made a very quick Christmas card with it using a small 4" x 4" card and kept it really simple....now the die is on my desk I will use it to make a few other cards with not necessarily Christmas cards....

Thanks for stopping by

New Home...

whilst sorting out a some bits and bobs  I came across this little owl image....it was left over from a SU day we did a few years ago with Jenny Moors....so I popped him on a card and used it as a New Home card.....  I have been good this week and used up lots of 'bits' from my 'bits' box... some from projects never finished and cards that haven't been completed off.

Its been a beautiful day again today and I went to our first Coffee & Card class since the first lockdown.....really enjoyed meeting some of the girls again and having and chat and of course making a card....will post at a later date..

NOEL.....

Back from a lovely week in the New Forest....the weather was amazing and it was just so nice to chill out... we walked lots and had plenty of stops along the way for tea and cakes......hopefully my mojo has also come homewith me!

The NOEL Sizzix die was an eBay find needed something that I could make some quick and easy Christmas cards with.... 

Hope to catch up with you all during the week.

Pablo the Penguin....

Love this cute little penguin by Crafty Individuals he's called Pablo.  These cards are for the grandchildren to give away at Christmas so I keep them quick and easy. SU DSP background paper.

I'm trying to be good in using up old DSP and in some cases making the card to fit the odd bits of DSP....this strip of paper was fine for a DL card.

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful sunshine...fingers crossed it lasts through the week.

Have a great weekend everyone...

Santa's little helper...

Normally I make a few Christmas cards for the younger grandchildren to give to their friends...When I saw this lovely Tim Holtz Sizzix die I loved it and the fact that I could use up some of my every growing pile of snippets.

Backing paper was also an odd bit of paper just added the Christmas sentiment.

Having given up our craft club I am slowly sorting through my craft room as I need to de-stash and reduce what I have.... I'm also trying to use 'bits' of odd DSP as well as you well know us crafters throw nothing away..

Its a beautiful day down here in Somerset, hope the sun is shinning where you are as well...keeping well away from the Bank Holiday crowds...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by..enjoy your weekend

Bit of recylcling....

Just returned from a lovely week away in the Cotswolds....it was very busy in places but we kept away from places like Bourton-on-the Water which was heaving with people...we've been many times before so it didn't matter.  

My hubby received this adorable card for his birthday and this card just had to be recycled.   I've just done a bit of matting and layering, cut out a die cut sunflower and hey presto another card...I think most of us crafters do recycle other cards and I think they are nice to give to the Charity shops....

Hopefully I can catch up with all your blogs in a couple of days when I've caught up with all my 'domestic' jobs before I can get in my craft room...

Birthday Drink.....

Thank you  Jules (Always with a Heart) for the inspiration for this card..the image is from GCR Designs and is called Wine Definition.....kept this card very simple just cut the word wine out with dies and added a little embellishment bunch of grapes. 

Another weekend is almost upon us....lets home we get a bit of sunshine its been wet and miserable here today.

Off now for a cup of tea
