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.

old stash......week 1

as you know I am determined to start using up all mydies,paper pads and stash that is already in my craft room....

this is made with Heartfelt creations 2016 snowkissed collection....and the poinsettia and holly cluster stamps and dies.....lots of glitter and glossy accents.....and the paper has been embossed with Sue Wilsons snow folder and slightly rubbed back.....
I hope that you are getting back to your crafting after the holidays...I must admit I am finding it slow going....
thanks for visiting today I really appreciate all your comments .

Christmas card challenge 1....Christine's choice ....snowflakes

the first challenge of 2019....and my new years resolution is to make all this years cards using existing stash.....I managed not to buy anything new for the last 3 month of the year so I am going to see how long I can do.....
this one is a clean and simple design.....

I used an old embossing folder...apple blossom let it snow...the snowflakes and the sentiment are from tonic...a nice simple start..
There is a list of the other girls in the groups blogs with links on my side bar...please pop and see their wonderful creations.....and thank you for visiting my blog today.

my first post of the new year ....I hope it brings you whatever you wish for yourself.....
I have made a new years resolution...yes....... and I hope that I can stick to it...quite simply not to buy from selly telly and to use all the stash that I bought last year....I managed for 3 months at the end of last year...so here goes...
