Happy New Year

Hi there, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year. I can't wait to get back into entering all the challenges when they start again, although I will really have to plan my time well as we are decorating the lounge in the new year!
Enjoy your evening everyone and I'll see you in 2010.

Nearly there!

At last I'm nearly finished for christmas. All my cards are finished and delivered, all the presents are bought and wrapped, decorations are up and I've made my starter for Christmas lunch. Only things left to do are collect my turkey from M&S and wait in for my food delivery from Tesco on Weds (who will hopefully have everything I ordered - I have a fear that they will run out of sprouts or something else thats essential).

Now a bit of the pressure is off I may have a bit of time to do some cards and I've got a few scrapbook pages I've been wanting to do for a while so hopefully I should be posting more than once a month again!

If I don't manage to post again before the big day I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and Santa is good to you too!

Friday Sketchers #80 & Crafty Catz #10

I've created this card for two challenges Friday Sketcher #80 and Crafty Catz #10 which has a theme of Angels and Fairies. The papers are Sparkly Sweet (I think) from my new mega stack of K&Co papers and the image is a Swiss Pixie from CC Designs coloured with PMs. Flowers and gems from stash.

PFP Week 27 Challenge Card

Managed a a little play today and made a few Christmas cards including this one which I'm entering in this weeks PFP Challenge which is any colours plus theme - vintage.

Image - Sarah Kay. Paper - from last years DoCrafts xmas goody bag. Punch - EK Success. Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug.

Bad Blogger!

Oh I am such a bad blogger at the moment! I just don't seem to have had any time lately to do any blogging or much crafting for that matter. To be totally honest I've not really felt inspired to make anything so I've not 'made' time to do it! I did get around to finishing my 'batch' xmas cards so just have a few special ones to get done now and I made a scrapbook page and one simple birthday card last night. BUT I've been out shopping today and bought 2 new embossing folders and a new EK Success border punch, so together with my huge stack of K&Co papers I got from QVC this week I think I need to do some serious playing tonight!

Passion for Promarkers Challenge #25

Really please with this challenge card for PfP #25 it is much more my style than some of the cards I've made recently, quite simple a bit like me ;-). I really do struggle with designs that require lots of embellishments and quite often spoil them by adding too much.

This week at PfP the challenge is a sketch and any colours. I've used a digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil, card from Papermania and Bazzill, flower Xcut punch for the border, glimmer dots from Papermania and the die cut is Sizzix.

Snow Much Fun

Not totally sure about this one, I think the blue is a little too dark and the ribbon looks baggy in the photo (looks better in real life!). Doubts aside I'd like to enter it into the following challenges Die Cut Dreams #22 - Vikki's Snowy Sketch and Cupcake Crafts #65 - Snow Much Fun!.

I've used Papermania and Bazzil cardstock, Nesties dies, Fiskars border punch, Cuttlebug embossing folder, a Personal Impressions stamp and bit and bobs from my stash.
