JUST POPPED IN TO WISH 

ALL MY FOLLOWERS AND BLOGGING FRIENDS

A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS 

AND A

HEALTHY NEW YEAR

By the Fire....

Didn't realize that it had been so long since my last post...  still having to use drops in my eyes 4 times a day which doesn't make crafting very easy....

I found some pre coloured images which I have used to make a couple of Christmas cards (for next year) this being one of them, they were from LOTV...

This postal strike is playing havoc with deliveries isn't it.... thankfully all my ones for Christmas have arrived...some of my posted Christmas cards still haven't reached their destination and that was 10 days ago....

Hope you are all managing to keep warm...I all I can say it 'thank goodness for thermals"...  

Sorry for not visiting your blogs lately hopefully in the next couple of days I will catch up with you all

Foxy Christmas....

Yesterday I was supposed to be doing my yearly craft fair in our local village hall but unfortunately last week I was diagnosed with shingles so couldn't attend..  I had made up packs of Christmas cards to sell this being one of the packs.... The picture isn't good as its taken through cellophane...  just a simple little card using Card-io Holly Hideaway stamp set....

Need to start on my own Christmas cards now...doesn't seem like Christmas is only a month away now...

Thank for stopping by..

Bauble Stencil....

Not posting much at the moment as I have an eye problem which is with medication is making my sight very blurred...so its easy craftying at the moment.

I have a craft fair next weekend so I've been making some simple Christmas cards..I've had this Sweet Poppy bauble stencil for ages  but then spotted Eileen Godwin using it in a tutorial so pulled it out (thanks for the inspiration Eileen) ...I've used Speckled Egg and scattered straw Distress inks, the image and sentiment are from Inkylicious called 'Winter Cabin'... I have put some glitter on the card but its very subtle so might just add a little big more. 

Thanks for stopping by

Winter scene .

Haven't used my Card io stamps for a long time..there has been so much inspiration on the Craft with Card io Facebook page I was inspired to get my stamps out...I must confess I fell in love with those little meeces so I bought the Water's Edge stamp set....The sky was a tutorial by the brilliant Lainey J....I didn't have the same ink pads but was quite happy the way it turned out...

 Do go onto Card io facebook page and have a look, there are so many talented ladies out there..

Thanks for stopping by

Flora Musica

Made this card a long while ago but it never got posted....it's  is one of my favourite floral stamps....Its called Flora Musica and its an old Chocolate Baroque stamp.

Coloured with Polychromos Pencils.... popped onto a Tonic die cut called Deco Oval Trellis and popped silver glittered paper behind...

Used the Heart Lattice embossing folder by Creative Expressions... Haven't put a sentiment on the front yet as will just keep it until I need the card then decide...

have a good weekend.

Fallen bauble....

Another quick christmas card...hand drawn bauble using circle negative from a die, Lavinia rabbits and fir tree branch whichis part of a SU stamp set as well as the sentiment.....

Its certainly a lot colder today so time to layer up....

Hope you all have a good weekend whatever you decide to do...
