That's it for another year.....

Good morning everyone and I hope that everyone has survived the day.  Santa spoiled me once again and I had a lovely day.  We did some visiting then went to the local Indian Restaurant for dinner, I was stuffed and brought a doggy bag home and then did some more visiting in the evening. Hoping that today is just a chill-out PJ day.  Looking forward to hearing about everyone else's day.

I am starting to get crafting withdrawal symptoms as not been at my table for a few days now.  Here are a couple of cards I did at the start of the week.  This first one is using the lovely Demure stamp from Sugar Nellie.  I have entered her into the challenges over at Charisma Cardz - "Anything but Christmas" and Colour Create Challenge - Pink, Burgundy & Ivory with Roses. 

This cheeky character is Wee from Whiff of Joy and  he is just delightful and I have used him for Stamp Something - "Christmas".

Paperplay Challenge & Creative Card Crew

Hello this chilly evening.  Just another card made off the list.  The challenge over at Paperplay Challenge is the theme "Movies or Books"  and I am doing "Twins" .  If I wanted to be really twisted I could do the "Star Wars Saga" with Luke & Princess Leah being twins (Oops - hope everyone has seen it & I haven't given the game away...lol).  I also have entered it into the Creative Card Crew's - "Anything Goes" challenge.

The two little darlings are Magnolia's and the ducks are cut out of funky foam using my Sizzix paddle punch.

Santa Card

Evening everyone, I feel I have been away from blogland for ages, just been a bit busy with other things, so I apologise and will catch up with you all.  I have had a little play as Lisa at work gave me another card order to work on, she keeps me busy........lol.  Still to do mine and need to post most of them as well.

Santa is from Magnolia & coloured with watercolour paints.  All the bits and pieces are made from scraps and stash.  The challenges I have combined in this card are:-

• Stampavie & More  -  Red & Green
• Charisma Cardz  -  Red & Green with White or Silver
• Just Magnolia  -  Christmas
• Stamp with Fun  -  Little Presents

I am starting to pull my hair out in panic over Christmas - so not organised.  Why are some people so hard to buy for????  I have only got two more days off before the big day and the pressure is on........lol

A Couple of Cards

Afternoon folks, hope all are having a lovely weekend.  I, myself, is just chilling out at my table and hopefully the creative juices are flowing......as well as the wine .........hehehe.

This first card I have used Henry Mouse from Whiff of Joy and used the wonderful sketch by Mojo Monday. Tried my hand at some doodling..lol.  Papers are from the English Paper Co. and snowflake diecuts are from Nestabilities - build a snowflake.  The challenge over at Stampin' for the Weekend is Christmas with Red, Green & Gold and Stampavie & more is "Christmas".

This card I have used Hamish from Sugar Nellie and copied the sketch from Just Christmas & Birthday Challenge Blog.  Papers are from Dovecraft (I think) and used my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. The challenge across at My Time to Craft is "Winter Pals" and Paperplay Challenge is Christmas without Red or Green.

Santa Claus is coming..............

Whenever I hear that tune from the advert I know that it is not that far away.  I am still struggling to get through my cards, wholey holey, they are never ending.  I love this sunbathing Santa from High Hopes, he is so cool.  Papers are from Papermania.

I used the wonderful sketch over at High Hopes and "Xmas" was the theme at Stamp with Fun.  The challenge over at Cupcake crafts was "Green & Red".

Watching Strictly Come Dancing tonight with a couple of glasses of wine, I'm cheering on Team Cola to get through to the final.

Daring Cardmakers & Creative Card Crew

Evening ladies.  I can't believe how dark it is getting now, going to work in the dark, coming home in the dark ......brrrrrrrr ......... I will be hibernating soon.......lol.  This is a wee cheeky card I have done for Daring Card makers "White Christmas", I have cheated a wee bit by popping on a bit of velvet red ribbon (to hide the paper joins...lol) and I have also entered it into Creative Card Crew - "Christmas".

I have still lost my memory card and can't get use to this other camera so I apologise for my photo quality. With that and the new laptop (yes, the old one went to the Curry's Superstore in the sky) I am having a fabby techno time!!! - not

Magnolia Down Under & Magical Crafts

Evening peeps, still no luck on memorycard-gate!  Baza is just in so he is going to have a look for it and his kind response when I explained I'd mislaid it was "Daft Bat!", he is a charmer .........lol ...... instead of playing a game on his x-box tonight he will be doing a treasure hunt to try and find it .....lol.

I managed to get my head together to do another card by using a lovely sketch over at Magical Crafts and the theme over at Magnolia Down Under which is Christmas.  I like this Edwin with the lantern so is so cute!!.

3 in 1 challenge card

Back again, would have been here a lot sooner but it seems that the "Borrowers" are away with my memory card out my camera.  I had it one minute and then the next..........it's disappeared.  I have hunted high & low and it has gone ........puff............ I had to go and dig out another camera and take a photo over again.

I had chance to play with one of my new stamps from Whiff of Joy, this character is called Wee and I think he is so delightful.  The backing papers are from Forever Friends and I had used various diecut/punched snowflakes.

The challenges I have incorporated are:-

• Friday Sketchers  -  Sketch
• Stampin' for the Weekend  -  Lilac & Silver (option of tags)
• Sophisticats  -  Snowflakes & Sparkle

Why do things disappear???  I have to admit it is happening more & more to me - is this a sign of old age?  lol   I have the wrinkles to prove it - don't need a dotty mind as well (some would argue that my dotty brain has been there for a while...........lol)

Anyway, before I forget to actually post this I shall go and pop the washing in the fridge...........lol.
