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. 

Happy Crafting

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 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

Poppies oh so Pretty

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors 

I hope you have had a good week. Yesterday we went to the theatre to see Magic that goes Wrong. It was a good show. After we had a fantastic meal in a Portuguese restaurant. It was so lovely to have a  day out with our friends. I think I needed it. 

I have been looking through my files and I came across some poppy cards that I hadn't shared. 

I do like making backgrounds with strips of patterned papers. 

These poppies are from Beccy's Place again I think they are retired. 

I made a simple card as well. 

I do like this card. I will send it to someone soon. 

Have a good weekend.

Deer in the Forest Christmas Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I have been helping Felting Workshop this morning. Tomorrow we are going to the theatre to see the show Magic that Goes Wrong. We are looking forward to it. This is one of the things that got delayed from last year. I will let you know how we get on. 

I have been making Christmas cards again. Here is my latest one. 

I started this card a while ago. I found all the bits on the side so I made it up. The corner dies are from one of John Next Door's Christmas releases this year. The patterned paper was in my stash. 

The trees were made with an old Creative Expressions die set called Winter Trees. The Deer were made with a Sizzix die set. 

I  have made about 90 cards this year and I have bought a few from a talented friend so we should  have about enough. I do want to make some special cards still. 

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Happy Crafting

Cute Robin Christmas card and mindful colouring

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We had a quiet day on Saturday were we caught up on jobs around the house. On Sunday we visited our daughter and son-in-law. It is so nice to spend time with them and their doggy. 

I have been doing a lot of colouring. I do find that it helps to clear my mind. Now I have a few coloured images I have made some into cards. 

The paper was from a paper pad from Hobbycraft. The die-cuts were left over on my desk. They were created with John Next Door dies and glitter card. 

This is an old image from Beccy's Place the Store unfortunately this image has been retired. There are many other wonderful image sets in the store it is worth checking.  

So this is another card for my stash. I have actually bought some cards this year. I don't think I am going to have time to make enough. 

Have a good week. 

Happy Crafting
