It's been a busy week again. My daughter went back to work yesterday and I am helping out with the babysitting. I am looking after Finn on a Wednesday. We enjoyed a lovely day playing and having fun. No time for crafting, I will need to wait till he is a little older to introduce him to stamping.
Another Christmas card and very simple again too.
I used the sketch from the Penny Black challenge but not a PB image. This image is a digi from Amberinks. The papers were a freebie from Cardmaking & Papercraft last year. It is coloured with Promarkers and a little Stickles. The die cuts are Nesties and Spellbinder Snowflakes and a bit of Cuttlebug Dots.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Cupcake Crafts - Blue and green
Cute card Thursday - Dieing for a Punch

My Award

I am back to post my award. Thanks Sarpreet and Sylvie for thinking af me. The rules are to pass on to 7 people, so here goes.
That was hard work.

I made this quick Christmas card but I am not too sure about it. I feel it is not quite complete, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
I used a digital image from Jak, Nesties, Cuttlebug dots, Gems and Liquid Pearls.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:-
Charisma cardz - Die cutting
Stamp something - Digital creation



Hoseshoe


It's nearly the middle of another week and I don't seem to be catching up with everthing yet. My inspiration is a little low at the moment, when I get time to craft the ideas seem to dry up.
I made this little horseshoe for my grandson Finn to give to my niece on her wedding day. I was going to buy one, but the local shops didn't stock what I was looking for. So nothing else for it but to make one. This is the result. I used Nesties, Woodware punches, Sizzlets heart, Fiskers small hearts & McGill leaf punch.

I am entering this into the One Stop Craft Challenge which is Not a Card and Allsorts which is less than 3 inches.
I have been lucky to receive awards, not 1 but 2 from Sarpreet & Sylvie. A big thank you for thinking of me. I shall pop back later with it.

I'm joining in with everyone else and making a Christmas card. I have used Vee's sketch #36. It is another simple card. I can't even say much about what I used, the stamps are unknown and coloured with Promarkers, the sentiment is Penny Black and the holly is mounted on Nesties.
I've had a stinker of a cold this week, so I'm off to bed with a hot drink.

Card number two is another of Ruth's digital images 'Anthurium'. I have used this image before but I was inspired by a plant in a window in Perth recently. It was in the colours that I have used in my card, which I thought were unusual but nice.
I used Ruth's anthurium, Nesties labels, Craft Creation gingham paper, promarkers, Martha Stewart punch and liquid pearls.
