let it snow....no let it be fall xxx

Am still pottering around making the odd card now and again.
This one I like.



The backing paper is from funky hands I think......the stamped image was a PB from Chrissy.
And under the stamped image I blotted some brilliant white chalk inks. I love them!

It still seems too early to be making Christmas cards.

I love this time of year more, it really is a beautiful time of colours ....
I love the change into Autumn.

I took this on my camera phone today so the quality is not great but the colours are amazing!

Will wander out to the veggie stall later on today.....but I took this one last week.
It is enormous!

fourth time lucky!!

I made a " thank you " fireman card today for my friend K ,
she loves firemen!!!

As I was trying to take a picture of it,

Poppy dog decided she loved getting her picture taken!!!


so we tried again.....


and again......She is just so camera shy!!


anyway here it is fourth time lucky......

Just a wee thank you for all the support she has given me during a difficult time. xx
The stamp and backing papers are paper nations.

Tuesday's card class makes

Well last night's card class was much more enjoyable for me...cause I stayed awake this week!
Can't believe that I fell asleep there last week due to illness & disturbed nights.

We made again made a couple of cards but I can only show you one as the other one is for someone who reads this blog and needs to be kept hidden for a wee while.

but here is my Christmas pudding card....

I will put a peel off or a sentiment on the red plinth.

And you cant see it but the icing or butter brandy over the pudding is glittery.....

I bought the template to make this and you can use it for all sorts.
This is the template I used.....

I will make some more hopefully over the next few days.
Am planning to go round to Emma's over the next few days to get the Troops appeal cards that we have received sorted out.

THANK YOU for all the cards we have so far!!!!

Remember they have to be in before first of October.

purple, sparkles & hiding poppy's

these have been made over last few days, well
actually in last week or so,
I made this one at Emma's well over a week ago,
but have only just taken a picture of it.
It is very different than my normal style.
Wee bit of distressing going on along the edges....


This one is a thank you card, as you can see LOL but is for people at work who
have been helpful in supporting me while I sort some stuff out.

This one is for a lovely mate who has been so supportive , she loves cats and although I have given her a card with the stamp on before it just seemed right as the sentiment summed up what I wanted to say in card!
I am also going to enter it in Nessy's Birthday blog candy.



And this was Poppy who picked up the dry clean face cloth I had dropped and played with it for ages......Andrew put it on her head and she kept it there for ages.....


Do you think , she thinks we cant see her if she can't see us????
She is so funny!
Her bed in the background has become a crash mate
to help her stop when she comes running in so fast through the house,
it stops her smacking into the radiator!!!

more xmas at card class

Enjoyed last nights card class.
Have lost my mojo so was nice to make something when I didnt really have to think about it.
Also nodded off in class....am still very tired.

made a couple of Christmas cards with new techniques.
Using many layers of embossing powder then versa mark on a snowflake stamp produced this beautiful card.




This one is done by stamping on double sided sticky sheet,
then fine glitter to the whole sticky bit..
