is it really only 18 more weeks to christmas.....

how the year is flying by...at least I am getting on with my cards.....just the crackers and labels...boxes...oh and place settings to do......

I think you will all recognise the LOTV image ..the frame is one of this years paper boutique ...Season Greetings...but I am so disappointed in the quality of the new dies...they are so flimsy and bend when you try to remove them from the packaging....shall not be buying any more of them.....so glad I didn't buy the whole collection just 3 of them from craftstash....they were £8 cheaper per die....the sentiment is from tonic....lots of glitter and bling.
Thanks for popping by today and I hope you are getting on with your christmas cards...its sooner than you think.....

a simple sympathy card....

not our favorite card to make but I know how much appreciated a hand made card is at such a sad time.....

made using the  Paper boutique angels are near die and a tonic sentiment....all in soft greys....
thanks for popping by my blog today I really appreciate the visit...

a windy day.....

well what a morning ..the wind is howling round the house definitely not a day to be venturing out ...so I have just finished off a card....

made using a paper boutique frame...an LOTV topper.....lots of glitter and a Marianne designs sentiment....I am really finding it hard to get back into crafting this year.... I think its because I am not buying anything new.....I am still being good ....
Hope you are having a lovely weekend and thank you for popping by today.

Sundays christmas card...

I am all finished making my cards for christmas at last ......

this one was made using the paper boutique die...Deck the Halls....the image is a daisy Mae one from the hobby house from last year....and the sentiment is a tonic die...great fun to make.....
My visitors have gone home now and the house feels very empty without them....still lots to do for christmas .....
thanks for visiting my blog today.....

an autumnal card for uncle Mark....

my dear old uncle is now very poorly and so I thought this my just cheer him up.....

this is one of the paper Boutique dies which I cut out in cream and then coloured all the individual elements with copic pens... and then use nuvo drops for the berries....the sentiment is a tonic die....
Thank you for popping by my blog today it means a great deal to me when you leave me a comment....

a Christmas card

its been wet and a bit blustery the last few days so I have been in my craft room having fun.....

looking through some old toppers and papers in my stash I thought these would go well together...a Daisy Mae topper from Hobbyhouse...the frame is Paper Boutique....Winter wishes....the sentiment comes with the frame....the backing paper is christmas swirls from craft creations....as you can tell I am using up some of my stash......all edged with cosmic shimmer frosted sparkle....
Hope you are enjoying your day and maybe getting some crafty time in....thanks for popping by my blog I really appreciate it and if you have left a comment I will come and visit you......

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
