Today i have made a christmas card for a colleague which is for her sons football manager, so football xmas and drink was what she wanted on the card. I am quite pleased how this turned out i must say!! See what you think!
And finally making a start on my christmas cards!

Time to get the tea on so thats it for the catch up!!
Next i have a wedding card i made rather quickly when my husband decided last minute that we were attending the evening reception!
I stamped this image and coloured with pro markers!
It's been a while but heres a quick catch up!!
Love this elephant stamp and add lace between the 2 layers!
Did the same for more nieces birthday card!

But added her name for a closer touch!

Hi  i've been quite busy over last couple of days so will just get on with the pictures to show you what i've been doing!
Firstly we have some gift cards with a money pocket inside. I saw these stickers when i was picking up more decorations and they instantly appealed to me so i had to buy them! Still cheaper than shoes or bags i guess!!

And heres another and then the coordinated money pocket inside!
Only had chance to get 3 of these done so far!
But have painted another set of xmas tree decorations which follow.

And finally theres a stocking decoration that i made out of fimo without a template or cutter...
The glue is still wet in some of these pictures under the fairy dust.

Been a few days since my last update but that doesnt mean I havent been making myself busy. Had a few birthday cards to do ... 2 of which were my sons 12th birthday cards so heres a glimpse....
Heres the easel top gear card...

And the all famous call of duty gate fold card!!
Have also taken a bit of inspiration from a card i made a friend yesterday and made it into an easel card think i prefer the first version better myself so will do that again next time! But do love the googly eyes lol!!
then there are the xmas tree decorations that i have hand painted and glittered...

Heres the snow man i 5thought i'd ruined by doing the black outlines but once glittered is possibly my favourite!

Love santa too but have just noticed on this picture that i havent yet painted the star... will get on it!! lol
And finally the 2 stockings. Now to make some more bart decs..!
                       Thanks for having a browse!!

At long last another small effort....

A work colleagues birthday card...
Then a liitle effort for xmas craft fayre...
But sadly disappointed as they looked great before they were cooked with what i thought  was white fimo... turned out to be the glow in the dark so not quite the same effect!!

My first easel card attempt!

Hi had to have a go at the easel card while the explanation was fresh in my head and am really pleased with the outcome!
I even used my embossing folder for the first time which doesnt show up too well in this picture!

But you can see the embossed snowflakes in this picture!
Then back to toppers loved these dog stamps in theory but was a bit worried if i could do them justice but am quite pleased with the result!

This will be the pack of 2 toppers pup and adult!
Here they are closer!

Thats it for today!!

Just a little bit more!

Just a little bit of spare time between housework and trying to cok a lasagne around a heavily snoring dog sleeping right in the way bless him!!!
So just did a couple of toppers and started to stamp up some more which will be completed later!
These were free digital stamps but again finding hard to get the sizes variable but i do like the way they overlap the topper on this one as it looks as though they couldnt stop!
Once again coloured with pro markers and embellished with flowers!
Here are some closer pictures!

Thanks for taking a look!

A trial of photos!

Hi have managed to spend a little time in solitary crafting over a couple of days and thought I'd have a go at uploading some photos!! So here goes!!!!
Here are 2 toppers of Milly in the rain! Stamped and embossed then colured with pro markers!
Next we have Mimi enjoying a nice relaxing bath. Also stamped and embossed then coloured with pro markers and embellished with a pretty blue flower! I also then wrote relax down one side!
And finally a quick card i just made in a few minutes before i was missed by the family.... lol

I found this digital stamp online and thought he was freally cute! Did have trouble trying to size him!
This is quite a bright jolly card and could possibly be inproved by enlarging him somehow!! I will keep playing!!
Thats all for today folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
