Christmas 19

Hello

Thought I'd start sharing some Christmas cards with you all.

The stamps and dies on these were a gift last Christmas from my dear friend over the pond, Lis I love them, shame I had to wait so long to use them. I already have some ideas for next year.

I created the the sparkly background by using navy blue card and sparkly mod podge.

However the first attempt at card one I created a Australian card so had to cut it down and remount it. I've done this twice on my Christmas cards this year but the other will been given to my sister as a unique card, she makes cards so will find it funny.

Thanks for your visit really do appreicate it x

Chalks

Hello

Well this card didn't photograph very good but then the colours wern't very vivid.

I've not really coloured on to Kraft card, I embossed in gold and then used chalks ( I think as I've also got one with Prisma Pencils so I hope I'm showing the chalk one) to colour the flowers, which in hindsight I won't do again as it just doesn't pop.

Stamps are Stamps By Me, I had a good play and will show the others at a later date.

Thanks for your visit really do appreicate it x

Remember

Hello

These were the cards I made for Rememberance Sunday. 

One went over the pond to a dear friend.

I used some Altnew Poppy stamps that came free with a mag, I've seen some gorgeous cards made with Altnew Stamps but I find them a pain in the rear too much faffing for me. 

I've tried several times with different stamps and thought the Poppies might make a difference as I love Poppies but it didn't.

They came with a stencil as well and that was even worse, the second card I had about 3 attempts

because each section is a seperate piece and I kept getting ink where I didnt want it, so I won'e be using that again...lol

Well that's my little moan for day.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Thanks for your visit, Much appreicated x

Mr Pickle

Hello my lovelies

I'd like to introduce you to Mr Pickle.

We've had him about 4 weeks  and the first 7-10 days were spent hiding in my craftroom under a cupboard and then progressed to to where you see him.

He has come along a lot however he's fav place now is behind the couch but at least he is in the same room as us...lol

He wasn't a rescue cat but he spent all his time with his elder owner who sadly passed away.

It must have been so quiet for him, he's had to do alot of adjusting to all the noise with us. He is a bit of a biter and I'm hoping that will pass as he gets to know us.

I've had a good chat to him telling him he can have a really nice loving home but he has to make the effort as well...am I mad or what!

I'll keep you updated on his progress, he's just had a visit to the vets which was an ordeal for all of us and he needs to go back Friday.

Thanks for your visit x

Neice

Hello

Hubby and I went to Bletchley Park on Saturday, it was a really great day.

It's amazing what went on their such clever people and the secrets they had to keep, which did make me wonder, when did the Germans actually find out that we had decoded their Enigma Machine.

I mad this little card for my niece.

Presscut , Hearlfelt Creations and Tonic dies and also some unbranded ones which were gifted to me.

Many thanks for your visit I really do appreicat it x
