Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Evening peeps, how you all doing.  Winter has definitely arrived, with all the leaves off the trees and the frosty mornings ....brrrrr .... thinking about it just wants me to snuggle up inside mu duvet.

Baby Stepper Card

Afternoon peeps.  Just back from one of our Christmas Craft Fairs with The Brionni Trust, and we managed to raise £73, not to bad for a few hours work and that it wasn't very busy.  One down and one to go tomorrow.  Just posting this while having a well deserved cup of coffee and swithering whether or not to head up to my table for a wee play.

Had a great day yesterday at the Hobbycrafts Craft Show in Glasgow.  Stocked up in all my essential items and managed to grab a couple of bargain buys at the same time.  Surprised myself though - I never indulged in a must have purchase *note to self* must try harder the next time! .... lol.. 

Now, I warned you all I was into making Stepper cards - and there's another one, a boy's christening card.

The main image is a diecut image from Lili of the Valley.  The little teddy bears & ducks are cut from funky foam by Sizzix Paddle Punches and decorated by using Liquid Pearls and a black marker.  The challenges covered are:-

• Crafty Catz Challenge   -  Male Card
• Creative Card Crew  -  Fancy Folds
• Fab 'n' Funky Challenge  -  Animals

Hello.........

Morning!!!....................

Apologises for not being on Blogland for a while,  for a wee change I've had a diary full of night outs so not had much chance for a wee chance to play at my table.  I have also been doing a few commissioned cards for peeps which I can share with you all when I can get the chance...

Also we nipped away on a weeks holiday to Lanzarote which was great.  We needed a week to relax and enjoy some kind of sunshine.  Was a bit of a shock to the system though landing back in Glasgow to freezing weather ..... brrrrrr ... heating straight on...lol.

So this weekend I have been looking forward to getting all sticky and covered in glitter ...lol... easy pleased me! ....lol...  Last week was a week of 70th Birthdays with Barry's mum and my mum hitting this milestone. This is the Easel Card I made for Maisie, Barry's mum to mark her special birthday.
