going for pretty...

 I am sending a card every so often to my friends Aunt who has been poorly...so I thought a pretty flowery card would be perfect.....

the background die is another of my old spellbinder dies...Chantilly lace...and the flowers another old favorite...tattered lace Baroness...some Nuvo drops just for embellishment....

I hope you are all keeping well out in blogland....thank you for visiting my blog today...

white and blue Christmas card....

 one of my favorite colour combinations as I always think the two colours look so clean....


the die is a tattered lace one from several years ago...Symphony Christmas Stag...a set of dies that I bought and then somehow misplaced in my stash...there were 4 in the set and they are now going to be used!

Thank you for popping by today,take care and stay safe....

I hope you are safe and well out in blog land and thank you for popping by my blog today.

pine cone swag....

 one of those dies I thought could be used both for winter and Christmas cards.....


went for a vintage look with this card...the background die is a very old spellbinder die...Holiday..the pine cones are tattered lace and the sentiment Tonic.

I am waiting for a hospital appointment after a return visit to the DRs...more test which again came back normal but I still have a terrible sore throat so off to ear,nose and throat for investigation....fingers crossed.....

take care out there in blog land...and thanks for popping by today.

a Happy birthday card....

 I bought this lovely die set from our Zoe (stamping Up ) ages ago and have just got round to using it....

a nice simple background made with distressed sprays and the poppy moments die from stamping up...

Hope you are keeping well out there...and busy we have put ourselves back into isolation as the infection rate in the area has gone up a bit so we are staying home and safe....so lots more crafting....

christmas card challenge 17......winter scene

 its time for a new challenge set by Mrs A this week.....

so I thought I would get my bargain buy out...my friend Vicky went over to the kanban outlet shop before lockdown and got the whole kit...all the dies..charisma sheet and the card kit for £10...after I had tried to buy it for £86 and had it cancelled by create and craft...what a bargain....

so I have used 3 of the characters and created a z fold scene card....lots of glitter...its very bulky so it will be one I give by hand.

Please pop over and see the creations from the rest of the girls...the links to their blogs can be found on my side bar....

thanks for popping by today...stay safe....

Ihope you are safe and well out in blog land...infection rates in my area just went up so its back to lockdown for us....take care ...

A bit of christmas

I found a couple of sheets of charisma I had printed off so ended up making this shaped card on my scan and cut....


I did have fun creating the card shape and the matts and layers....
Sadly I am still feeling poorly and eventually went to see the dr who has given me antibiotics and a steroid nasal spray and sent me to hospital for blood tests so I am waiting for results and feeling horrible...still crafting gets me through....take care out there....

using up bits on my desk....

time for a tidy up after not doing much crafting last week.....lots of bits left from other projects so a couple of cards made up.......


all because I had printed out a couple of inserts and a sheet of backing paper for another card and changed my mind....used up flowers from the oasis floral collection from Tattered lace...
Ihope you are keeping well and staying safe.....
