Trying a different shaped card

I wanted to use my crafters companion edgables with my decoupage so I cut it out of the front of the card

then cut a few more of the reindeer and layered them up so that they would give a bit more rigidity....and then made up the stylecraft decoupage and put that on the back section of the card
lots of glitter for sparkle....
I hope you are enjoying your crafting and thank you for popping by my blog.

a sunday christmas card or two....

yes I have been using my graphic 45.....a christmas carol......nearly gone now.....

 this one has the tim Holtz carollers cut out of black...I bought the die cuts off e bay when I found out that to buy the die was going to cost me £52.00...no way!lots of fussy cutting of the flowers

this one uses the tim holtz lamp post and the other die cuts I again bought off e bay.....no idea what brand.....
I only have a few sheets left in the pack now......but I really enjoyed making these
I hope you are having a good weekend and enjoying your crafting....

anniversary cards

I have been playing with myAnna Griffin dies again......

I decided to try for elegant,so cut them from centura pearl one in white and one in ivory.....and applied a bit of gilding wax to highlight the embossing.....a spellbinders tag die and an LOTV sentiment,a bit of ribbon ...matting and layering and step away from the card......

a Sunday workshop with Sheena Douglas

a real treat...my niece Elizabeth,great niece Caitlyn and I treated ourselves to a day out at crafter's companion at Newton Aycliffe to take a Sheena Douglas workshop...we had a wonderful time getting inky and playing with aqua tints...glad I took my pinny.....

it was a great day and Sheena kept us laughing all day....

but the day ended on a sad note as when we returned home it was to a phone call at 7pm to say that my sister in law had died...she slipped into a coma on saturday after days of refusing to eat or drink...and decided to leave us after her friend for the past 60 years left her side after visiting time, she had lost the will to live and just wanted to go.laughter and sadness its what life is...
