Christmas with Beccy's Place and Mr Snowflake

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your weekend been. We had a meal with our friends on Saturday evening. Sunday was a quiet day we just had to pick up my friend's artwork from an Art Show. This meant that they were able to visit relatives on the Isle of Wight. My lovely Mother-in-law is back in hospital for more blood transfusions. It is such a worrying time for us all. We were able to visit last Thursday. 

This is Encore Week at Beccy's Place. I was given the older Mr Snowflake digital Stamp set to use.

Here are the cards that I made. 

For this slimline card I used the pre-coloured snowman. The sentiment was foiled with my Kaleido. 

For this card I use the wreath and one to the sentiments. The wreath was coloured with my Faber Castell Polychromo pencils and then fussy cut. The paper were from my stash and I used the John Next Door Snowflake Corners again. 

This is the Mr Snowflake Digital Stamp Set and it is available HERE. 

I had great fun making these cards. I love how it is so easy to flip and resize digital images. The colouring is very relaxing too. 

Don't forget it is the last day of Beccy's Christmas Challenge too. 

Happy Crafting

Sweet Angel Christmas Card

 Hi My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I have never been away from my blog for so long. I know not many people are blogging now and I am now doing this mostly for myself. It is lovely to have a record of what I have made. Life has been rather hectic and we have been on a 12 night cruise. Today I spent over an hour trying to get next day delivery on diabetic slippers for my dad. Until today I  had no idea they existed. My life is so glamourous. I won't tell you about the incontinence pants. 

This is one of the cards I made before we went away. I am hoping to do some crafting at the weekend. 

So there are the snowflake corners from the John Next Door Range. 

I think this image is by Sherry West. I have been making the images I have been colouring into cards. I do find colouring very relaxing. 

Here is another card for my stash. I still need a few more special cards. 

Have a good weekend. 

Take care.

Making Merry, Christmas Elves from Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are all well. We aren't around for a while. I will catching up with things we are around again. 

Beccy from Beccy's Place has created some fantastic elf images that are great fun to use. My first thought was to make some Christmas tags. I ended up making three slimline cards. I was using the Making Merry Digital Image set. 

I do love those Snowflake Corners. 

Aren't those images fun. 

I was able to use some lovely papers. 

This is a lovely set of cards just right for posting, 

This is the Making Merry Digital Image Set and it is available HERE. 

Here is my bonus project. I decorated a gift bag. I coloured the image and I drew the background. This is the sort of thing that I find very relaxing. 

Here are all of my makes together. They are lots of fun. 

Don't forget Beccy's Christmas Challenge that is taking place on her blog Here.

Car and Christmas Trees for Christmas

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We have both been busy invigilating. From now on I am going to be away from the computer for a while. I will catch up with everyone eventually when things have calmed down a bit. 

Here is a card I made from an old card. You know how much I like doing this. 

I have had that Christmas Tree paper in my stash for so long. It was just right for this card. 

The image is from an old card. 

I know just who to send this one too. 

Take care and stay safe.

Christmas Cheers from Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your weekend been? Today we have been to visit my in-laws. My lovely Mother-in-law is really very poorly. She is still very with it and a pleasure to visit. We always do a test before we go. After this we won't be able to visit for a while. 

Beccy from Beccy's Place has done it again she had produced some gorgeous Christmas images. Who doesn't love those speciality Christmas drinks you can get at this time of year. Here are the cards that I made with the Christmas Cheers  Digital image set. 

I fancied colouring in blues and mauves and I found some papers that matched. The snowflake corners are from the John Next Door Range. 

More traditional greens and reds this time. The papers I had in my stash and those snowflake corners are there again.  

This time I made a collage on the computer of all the pre-coloured images and some of the sentiments. Those snowflake corners are there again. I might just be obsessed. 

This is the Christmas Cheers Digital Image set which is available HERE. You get line art that you can colour too. 

Here are all three cards together. I will think carefully about who to send these cards to. It will have to be someone who is into their hot drinks as much as we are. 

Don't forget Beccy's Christmas Challenge which runs for the whole of November right here on her blog. 

Have a good week. 

Happy Crafting

Happy First Wedding Anniversary

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We have both been invigilating this week. I have worked two full days so far  and I am now on my own with groups of pupils in rooms. All the pupils I have dealt with have been delightful. There is some extra responsibility so I have found it rather tiring. Of course there has been no time to craft. My hubby has just started with the invigilating and hasn't been given as many slots as me. He has picked up a few extra sessions along the way. Tomorrow I am helping at a Felting Workshop. Quite a busy week so far. 

At the weekend we attended the reception to a wedding that happened a year ago that we watched online. We all know what the restrictions have met to lots of people. We stayed overnight after the party. On the day after we were able to visit the grounds at Cliveden National Trust. We were very lucky with the weather. 

Here is the card I made for the happy couple. 

In the background I used Claritystamp Designer paper. The sentiment was added with one of the sentiments from the Claritystamp Word sticker collection. 

This is a Crafter's Companion die I have had it for a while it is called Rustic Wedding - Just Married. The die was cut in white and a copper card to make a shadow. 

Here are the happy couple they were photographed at the reception. 

It was a good party. We all took tests before we went and so far no one has caught anything. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Winter Scene Christmas Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors. 

How was your weekend? We went to a wedding reception on Saturday this had been delayed for 16 months and we all know why. The couple got married last October with 15 guests and lots of us watching online. Now it is their first wedding anniversary and it is time for a party. 

Have bought lots of new dies this year and I haven't been using them. I do find this rather annoying. I did try some out last Friday. 

All the dies I used are from the John Next Door range. I do love making winter scene with dies I just couldn't resist these ones. The frame came from the Forest Frame die set. 

I used the Church Scene die set to make most of the scene. The Santa came from the Sam's Circles die set. In the background I used the Falling Snow Embossing folder. I might add a small sentiment to this card. 

November is going to be a busy month. Both of us are invigilating at our local school and we are going to be away for a bit. Also we need to keep up with visits to our parents. Please forgive me if I am not around some of the time. 

Have a great month

Happy Crafting
