on the naughty step

yes I have been buying a new die.....shush don't tell my hubby.......its all you fault Pauline Bird
her beautiful samples made me buy it....honestly...thank you Pauline you really inspired me....

a couple of variations ..
the background die is Winter Wonderland from the crafting world paper boutique range of dies....LOTV image...and TL poinsettia....
I had great fun with the dies and used up some stash as well
thanks for popping by my blog today ...its a beautiful fresh sunny day here today and at last I feel like crafting again after all that heat....

ginger bread men.....

its been a week of christmas cards....and here is another....

made using Sue Wilsons gingerbread set....and a creative expressions embossing folder...Lisa Horton word sentiments....
hope you're enjoying your weekend and thanks for popping by my blog.

trying something new....

I keep seeing lovely examples of eclipse cards on the wonderweb and really like the effect so here I am having a go.....

just a little bit wonky but not too bad for my first attempts...and yes I definitely will be having another go...
I hope you are enjoying your day and not too hot!.....thanks for popping by my blog today ....

a couple of christmas cards....

its so hot ...I don't really feel like crafting much but at least doing christmas cards gives the illusion that it may get cool again someday soon!...is that wishful thinking ?

a couple of clean and simple cards using stamps and white embossing powder....
I do hope you are keeping cool and thanks for popping by my blog today I very much appreciate it....

Christmas card club challenge 15...a christmas choir

it was my turn to choose the theme for this weeks challenge...and it was to use up a lovely die set I bought last christmas and have only used one before...

its a tattered lace flectare die which I have just adapted by just using the images....added lots of glitter and glossy accents...the foliage is tattered lace poinsettia and holly and the sentiment is Lawn Fawn...
Please pop round the other girls in the clubs blogs to see their amazing creations...the links are on my side bar
thanks for popping by my blog today and I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

this weeks Christmas Card

I am still keeping up with my weekly cards.....and using some very old stamps and dies...

made using Spellbinders 2013 Heirloom ornament die....with the matching Justrite stamps...and the background is Christmas Holly stripes...embossed in white...I have to admit that the stamps were still unopened in their packages but they are loved and used  now.....I am sorry the holly die ...I have no idea of the make as I had chucked away the packaging....and now I cant even find it!....the embossing folder is a SW one but again the packaging is long gone...
this was fun to make and I even used a bit of felt to make the poinsettia....
thanks for popping by my blogtoday and I hope you are also having fun crafting

another few cards for my stash....

yes I am still trying to get a few cards made in advance ....

these are made from the Anna Griffin blooming decoupage ....they make such pretty dimensional cards and my elderly relatives love them.....
hope you are enjoying your crafting...its Wimbledon and tennis for me every day with my lovely hubby cooking tea each evening...how spoilt am I..so only crafting in the mornings....
thanks for popping by my blog today and if you were kind enough to leave a comment I do appreciate them.....
