Getting Crafty for Christmas Day 1

By



I can't believe another week has passed by and the weekend is just around the corner.  I think this year has flown by faster than any other.  Its hard to believe its a year since my hip op too.  The years been full of change and opportunity and there's lots to look forward to next year as well…….. exciting times ahead……:-) 

I know we're only in November but I've been brushing up my colouring skills and making a few Christmas cards using my new Molly Blooms stamps.  I stood them up on the side board to take a few pics last night, and as Oli's friends came round they were looking at them and all put in orders.  I've got over 25 in the bag and more to come …  eeeek  I'll have to learn to colour faster.  The one above was the first I made with vintage card blanks from WhichcraftUK and I'll share a few more of them with you over the next week or so.

Here's what I used to make it:
Card Blank - Scallop Circle Step Cards from Whichcraftuk 
Tumbled Glass Distress Ink 
Cloud Template DiamondcardcraftUK
Star Dust Stickles 
Copic Markers 
Black Momento Ink 
Molly Bloom Stamps - Robin, Candlelight Companions and Pinecone Perch

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your weekend and catch up again soon…….. :-) C

    Morning Clare, Wow !! I love this card, it is sooooooo cute, your colouring is gorgeous. I intend starting 'learning' how to colour-in, I have just got a complete set of new pens, I have the stamps already, so I'm all set to 'have a go' ha ha, I have watched a few YouTube videos on the tips and techniques, which have given me inspiration, but I think it will take me a while to 'master' the art ha ha. I will be looking 'in awe' at your colouring projects, this one is stunning.
    Have a lovely weekend.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
    PS I made a Lemon and Coconut cake, and Graham took it to work, it didn't last long and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, yesterday Graham came home and said he'd had a request for 'any chance of a Lemon Drizzle cake' !!! xx

July Giveaway and crafty Weekend in Milford Haven

By
Morning everyone, Happy Monday to you.  I"m home after a fabulous weekend with Cheryl, Jan and Chris, at their fabulous shop, In House Interiors in Milford Haven.  It was a full house on Friday for our Artisan Style workshop where we constructed, painted and altered pencil cases and albums.  Saturday was demo day and another full house.  Cheryl, Jan & Chris, thank you so much for hosting the event for all your hard work and your hospitality, you really did spoiled me :-)  It's been quite a while since I've travelled over the border to Wales so I was quit excited as I passed the Welcome to Wales sign and then Raglan Castle. For those of you unfamiliar with our isle, Wales is full of magnificent Castles, sandy beaches, picturesque scenery and a gorgeous coastline.  I had to have a quick pit stop to see Raglan Castle. Saw my first Dragon too :-)   After a journey that took me across the middle of the country and th...
