a sunday christmas card

well I am back from my trip to Scotland and my Aunts funeral..which went off as well as these things can...we were blessed with a wonderful sunny day which helped ....our journey back was not so good taking 11 hours....oh my goodness so many road works....still home now and rested a couple of days..
I need to craft....

using my favorite LOTV image....the die is Amy designs wintertide...and the sentiment tattered lace...the paper is from the new digi download from LOTV which I took into my craft studio and played about with to get a colour match to the topper....

using up stash

I am feeling guilty  for buying lots of new stash lately so I'm making myself use some of my old stuff up.....

I must say I enjoyed making these Kokeshi dolls into cards...they are from craft style...I bought them last year from C&C and made one card for a birthday and promptly forgot them....so now  I've made another 3 up...the last one is floating on acetate....so half way through the collection....
I hope your day is good and you are able to do a bit of crafting....and thank you for popping by my blog today.

some new dies...

I just could not resist buying these when C&C reduced the price!

I do love these Sharyn Sowell dies ....I used the inspiration on the package for the design but shadowed all the images with red to make them pop...and yes...I have bought more whenever they are reduced.....
I hope you are enjoying your day today and thank you for popping by my blog today....

A Sunday Christmas card.....

one of my favorite LOTV images.....

stamped and coloured with copics...the circle die is a tattered lace one and the sentiment Marianne designs...Lotv paper....
Hope you are having a great day and thanks for visiting my blog today.

a first birthday card....

our newest addition to the family was one this week....how the time flies....

I Love these tonic buildables...this one is Betty Bunny and the embossing folder is an apple blossom one....thought they were fun ...
We're Back from our few days away and feel refreshed and rested...my trousers are a bit tight so yes I did eat lots of lovely welsh food....the weather was good in parts but that's to be expected at this time of the year.I hope you are having a good day today and enjoying some crafting.....thanks for popping by.
