A Little Gnome Christmas Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Oh boy what a difference a few days makes. First today the NHS tracking app told us we had to self isolate for 7 days and then later we find out from Boxing Day loads of us are going into Tier 4. Roll on more vaccinations. What a strange Christmas and New Year we are all going to have. 

I get rather shy of sharing my own drawings. With all that is going on I thought I would give it another go. Here is the Christmas card I made for my cousin. 

I so love the gnomes that we drew in the Shac Shack with Barbara Gray. I wanted to try one on Kraft Card. So that's what I did. The backing paper was in my stash. The snowflake die came from The Works. 

Here he is. The snow was made with a Posca pen. The gnome was coloured with my Polychromo pencils. 

I know my cousin liked this card. I do like doodling. 

Have a Happy Christmas. It is going to be a strange one this year.

House Number Frame and a New Home Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? I have done a little invigilating. I did more that I expected. We actually invigilated a proper external exam on Wednesday. The rest of the time was spent supervising pupils catching up on the Mock exams they had missed in the previous two weeks. It is so nice that I have a day off today. I am looking forward to the joining in with the  Shac Shack and to doing some crafting. 

Our daughter and son-in-law moved last month. When they had their first house I made them a frame with their house number in it. Before they moved this time I was given the frame back and asked to make a new number. They wanted to keep the old number in the frame behind the new number. I thought this was a lovely idea. 

Sorry for the glare on the glass. In the background is some of the paper that I used to make flowers  for their wedding. There is a hill opposite their house with a wood on the brow of the hill. They have seen deer over there as well. I used a John Next Door die to create that part of the scene. You know they have three bunnies that we looked after. The dog is a wish they would like to have a dog. The numbers were cut with a selection of dies in my stash. 

Here is the New Home Card I made for them. This doodle is based on one of the doodles we did in Barbara Gray's Shac Shack. I missed a trick I should have drawn the actual house. This one isn't far off I have had another go for their Christmas Card. I do so love doodling. I would also like to buy them a wooden bird table for their garden. There are just so many birds round where they live now. 

Have a good weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Snowy Scene Christmas Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going?  I have just found out that I will be working for the next three days. This means that there won't be much time to craft. 

I have been joining with Barbara Gray and her Shac Shack. Though this month it has been rather difficult to keep up because I have been working more that I expected. I did like the snowy scenes on Kraft Card that were done the other week. I have been brave and I have made a card with one of my doodles. 

I found a patterned paper in my stash that seemed to suit the image. In fact it was left over from another card that I made earlier in the week. 

This is the doodle using Micron pens, White Posca pens and  white and blue pencils. The sentiment was added with a ClarityStamp sticker. 

Please be kind I am a bit shy about sharing my doodles. As I am working again I am not getting much time to craft. I think my little blog will be suffering for a while. 

I hope the rest of the week is kind to you. 

Happy Crafting
