christmas card challenge 20.....turkeys ...camels ...or sheep

this one was definitely for me as some years ago I bought some lovely sheep stamps and now I can use them......

the first one I did a bit of decoupage on and the second I had found my fluffy stuff from years ago and it still works....so a bit of fun and I have the perfect recipients in mind for the card.....
If you would like to see what the other girls have made the links to their blogs are on my side bar....

Elves have taken over my craft room.....

well I have been very good this month and have not bought anything from selly telly....its made me root around my craft room and I found lots of great stamp set that I have bought and not used.....

I have had so much fun playing with these stamps and dies...I made a booboo on the first card as I had stamped in versamark and then coloured with alcohol markers....silly me...anyway I did a fresh set for the second card.......
thank you for popping by my blog today...I hope you are having a good day and maybe doing some crafting.

A special day...

today my hubby and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary....goodness I cannot believe it....where have all the years gone but I can report that they have certainly been happy ones and long may they continue....
We are having a few days away so I am scheduling my posts ...

I am still on my no Selly Telly spending in September and still have not given in to anything ... so feeling very pleased with myself....but I am on the naughty step having put in an order for some stamping up stuff....
My card is made with a crafters companion 3D embossing folder and a 2016 Sue Wilson Angel die...which until now has been laying forgotten....the sentiment is a tonic die....

Sundays cards.....still being good!

I have been having some fun making backgrounds with pixie powders and having watched Julia Watts and Francoise Read on Hochanda thought these stamps would go well on them....

the stamp is a woodware one ...bought before my no buy September...which is still going well...and to be honest I have so much stuff I have bought and not used yet that this really is good for me!...I keep telling myself!
thanks for popping by today I do appreciate you visiting my blog and if you have left a comment I will be sure to come along and visit you...

still being good....

last years Tonic buildables ..Elves...and a very old tattered lace monumental die.....you will have seen me use this Noel die many times I just love it....Impression obsession stitched holly die...and lots of scraps from my bit box....great fun...

playing with Chloe stamps

I just fell in love when I saw Chloe demonstrating these stamps on Hochanda...bought in August so before my no spend september....

sadly the sparkle doesn't show up on the photo ...I used the WOW sparkle embossing powders....then added more glitter using cosmic shimmer glitterbitz....the bow has been stamped twice and decoupaged up....
thanks for popping by today...day 4 of my no buying ...although how long it will last now that Zoe has sent me the stamping up catalogue is any ones guess....how much will power does a girl have!
