I have been playing with some of my new Tim Holtz sizzix dies.....

and I was so pleased with this one...I even posted it on the Tim Holtz face book page....it seem to go down well and Tim himself commented "one of my favorite bigz dies ever...absolutely love this card...."well you could have knocked me down with a feather....how kind of him.
I hope you are having fun crafting...and thanks for popping by my blog today.

trying out some texture paste

as you know I am not one for getting messy but in a fit of madness I ordered the Phil Martin set of stencils....so what to do with them ....

okay a very simple card...

then I decided to do another one with a bit of matting and layering...I thought it popped a bit better...
so the experiment goes on....
Hope you are having fun in your craft room and thanks for popping by my blog today...

Sundays christmas card....

I have decided to hoick out all my snowman stamps and stamp and colour them while I am on sofa rest with my leg up....I had a fall and my leg and knees are black turning a wonderful shade of purple....which inspired the colouring of this card.....

this is an old Molly Bloom stamp...shame none of the sparkle show but I do find it difficult to get to photograph well....
I hope you are having a lovely weekend and thank you for dropping by my blog xxx

a christening card

We were invited down to a christening last weekend and this is the card I made...I knew that the cake was going to be sheep shaped so I thought I would go along with the theme....

as you can see his name was George...bless he was the most serene baby ever and only gurgled with laughter as his head was dipped in the font....
A bit of a fun card.....
Hope you are having a great day today whatever you are doing and thank you for popping by my blog.
