Winter Wonderland

Ahoy me hearties!!!! I am back from my hollibags and I have serious crafting withdrawals. I have missed you all terribly and will catch with everyone soon, also will pop a few holiday snaps on (when I find the camera as still to unpack!)

Over at Winter Wonderland there is a fantastic sketch to follow with the theme of "Frosty the Snowman" and the Design Team examples, so pop across to check them all out!.

I used the fabby Edwin snowman, I didn't have any swirly things as per sketch so I popped on the "Brrr" cut from my sizzix alphabet. Backing papers I think are Papermania, brads from stash and sentiment is printed off computer.

Heading back to my table with gusto!!!!!

Truly Scrumptious

Evening all folks. Hope you are all well in blogland. Thought I would quickly nip on while the footie is on (Scotland getting beat 3.0 against Norway.....there's a surprise......lol). The challenge over at Truly Scrumptious is a fabby sketch by the lovely Mina.

One of my gorgeous niece's is turning 18 next month - eek, where does the time go and I think this Miss Anya is just her. Decorated my little punched flower myself with a silver pen (quite chuffed.....lol).

Oh well, back to my headphones on so I can block-out the shouting at the TV that Baza is doing. How come the phrase "It's only a game" never goes down well at times like this.......psml.

Just Magnolia, Stamp with Fun & Secret Crafter

Afternoon peeps, I'm back again with another card with a few challenges thrown in. This card I have made is for Lisa at work's little girl, Emily. I can't believe that she will be a year old next month, same day as my own mum's birthday.

• Just Magnolia - sketch
• Stamp with Fun - Birthday
• Secret Crafter - Cute as a Bug

I love this little girl image from Magnolia and I have coloured her using my paints. The paper is from Dovecraft. Flowers, gems and butterfly are from stash.

I have been sorting out holiday clothes this afternoon and having a good old laugh at trying to get into tops, dresses, skirts and trousers (wishful thinking that I could slip back into a size 8 pair of cut offs and a skirt business suit I used to wear about 16 years ago....lol) So two black bag full of clothes are ready to be taken to the charity shop. I can however, fit back into 2 dresses so they will be going with me, just to get a suitcase...lol.

Charisma Cardz, ABC & Paperplay challenges

Morning everyone, I have a sleepy head on today as I was up late playing. I was asked to make a well done card for a male by one of the girls at work. I find it so hard to make male cards.

• Charisma Cardz - sketch
• ABC Challenge - "Z" is for ..............Zero Embellishments
• Paperplay Challenge - All Creatures Great & Small

I used the Forever Friends stamp with the Champagne bottle and different papers from scrap drawer. I used an embossing folder to add some texture to the card.

I should be getting organised for by holli-bags today is this is my last day off before I go (23rd) but I can't get motivated.

One Stop - Swirls & Pearls

Hello again, back to plan I hope again, the challange over at One Stop Craft - "Pearls & Swirls" was so handy for me this week as I had to make a card for my father and step-mother's 30th (Pearl) Wedding Anniversary.

I think that this is an Anita's stamp which was one of the first stamps I bought, I painted it with my watercolour paints then 3D glossed over it. Used Cuttlebug Swirls and Swiss Dots embossing folders and popped on some pearls (plastic) ramdomly.

I think this is me for this evening, hope everyone is having an enjoyable one. hugs Kaza.xxx
