Please feel free to come and visit Cozy Frog Crafts and like and follow my new page.  Thank you for your support over the years.

Love and hugs
Kaza xxx

Bowled Over

Stepper Card

Afternoon peeps, hope you all are enjoying the weekend.  I am half way through my Course and not got another module now until October so this weekend I have enjoyed playing at my table and stroking my crafts supplies.  Lol. Xx

I have had these concept card kits from Hunkydory for ages and ages and wasn't too fussy on them as they are meant to be completed so I deceided to have an experimental to so what I could do with them.  In the end I created a middle stepper Card, putting each element on a different step and then decorated the marble card with Diecut flowers and leaves.

The challenges covered today are:-

Best Wishes




Afternoon peeps, hope you are enjoying your Sunday.   I have wasted my day attempting to do jobs and got no where.  Spent most of my day shouting at the pc for not saving a document I was working on (not my fault of course!). Followed by shouting at the printer for running out of ink, how can this be when meant to be on this "instant ink" scheme.  After a hour wrestling on the help site, discovered they had sent me ink and was sitting under the computer desk.  Having finally trying to do anything constructive after failing to get renewal quotes for the car insurance.
I made this card during the week while de-stressing.  I am really busy just now travelling up and down the country with work, so needed a bit of playtime while watching the footie one night.

Not stamped and coloured for a while so very therapeutic.  Coloured a few images will a plan to use them on this simply layout.  Loving the strip of tartan, plus it is using up my scraps leftover from my lifts (see a previous post).  The challenges covered today are:-

Cute Card Thursday - embossing
Southern Girls - add some stamping
Stamping Sensations- anything goes

Hearts & Heather

Evening peeps, hope everyone is well and looking forward to the weekend.  Mine started tonight as I am having a cheeky day off tomorrow- woohoo.  

I have not blogged for a few weeks as had a few things on at the weekends and I was stuffed with the cold another week so not made any new cards.  This is an unblogged commissioned card I had made a few months ago.  As you can guess it was for a Scottish wedding and since we have just recently celebrated Burns Night and Valentines is just round the corner, I thought it was a good enough time to post.  

The Diecut hearts are from Sizzix, decorated with various gems and tiny bows from Hobbycraft.  Tartan paper is actually wrapping paper.  Heather and other flowery things are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Sentiment printed off computer.  The challenges covered are:-

Love is in the Air

Good evening my lovelies, hope you all had a lovely weekend.  I don't know if it is just me, but Blogger has been playing up.  Over the weekend I was trying to leave comments on everyone's wonderful creations but I kept getting throw back messages saying My comment was blocked.  It is getting really annoying and for some reason Blogger don't seem to be an app anyone on the Apple Store.   Can anyone recommend another app to use on my iPad.

We are starting to come into the season of Love and Romance, I have been making some Wedding and Anniversary cards.  This one is made using a Penny Black stamp, backing paper I think, is from a Lili of the Valley card kit.  The heart dies it are cut from a Hobbycraft die.  Pearls, peel offs and sentiment are from stash.  The challenges covered are:-

Panto Time....... Oh yes it is!...

Evening peeps, hope everyone is surviving the weather.  We have had a covering of snow but nothing to get panicked about. 

It was one of my nieces 12th birthday on Tuesday and she is currently performing in the pantomine at the Alloa Town Hall.  Yes, you've guessed it - Jack and the Beanstalk.

New Beginnings

Afternoon folks, enjoying a lazy day.   Have taken down the Christmas decorations this morning, the house looks so bare now. Might as well get the holiday blues over and done with today instead of tomorrow as back to work on Wednesday.  

This is a card I had made a while ago when a former work colleague had twin girls.  Double easel cards are perfect for this occasion I think.  The stamp is from Forever Friends, dotty paper as from scrap drawer.  Something new is the large pearls and flowers.  Sentiment and ribbon are from stash.  Tools used are various Spellbinder dies and dotty embossing folder.  The challenges covered today are:-

Happy New Year

Well, I failed miserably on Last Years Resolutions, so I am not making any for 2017.  I should know by now, that best made plans often go out the window and the 2016 ones certainly did.  

One of the big changes I had in my life last year, was a change of Job.  Still with the same emergency service but a more challenging role, new location and hopefully the prospect of qualifications at the end.  On the down side is that I have less time to craft due to the longer travel time and my brian being pickled with all the new information it is taking on board.  When I have been making cards, that have usually been quick cards and were not good enough to blog.

Over the festive season, I have had chance to relax and play at my table which I have really enjoyed and missed.  Hopefully, going forward, I can find a balance between work, study and play.  

Anyway, enough prattling on, this is a card I have made following a few challenges.  The hedgehogs are Penny Black clear stamps with I coloured and added some Stickles to their scarves.  The backing paper is scrap from an old Papermania paperback, sentiment is a Hunkydory one and snowflake is a Sizzix diecut.  Tools used was my snowflake embossing folder. The challenges covered are:-
