Christmas card....oh no....

 

Hello all you lovely people, hope you are all well.

Yesterday was such a beautiful, warm day, so into the craft room to have a play I went and came out with this. A Mo image, cute or what ?

I kept it quite simple, coloured with PM and splashed with white ink, the sentiment dies are from Temu, which I double cut and layered up.

Thats it, I have been trying out felting, well, I say 'trying out', heaven knows if or when I will get any further, but I keep seeing my inspiration on Pinky's blog and told her I would have ago, so glad I bought the leather finger protectors though, haha. Time will tell.

Have a lovely Sunday, even if it is pouring with rain and blowing a gale :))

Birthday update.

 

Yesterday was my birthday, I want to say a big thankyou to all who sent cards, flowers and messages. I was completely ruined by my family, silly thing was I told Carla last week, not to make a fuss and buy a silly balloon with the big number on for all to see !! that was my first mistake. She put on a lovely buffet for us all on Saturday, as I walked in the house was filled with giant balloons :)) then she followed me down the road as I went back to my house, next day I saw her passing by the window carrying more balloons, haha, so, here are some of the cards and the now infamous balloons, there are more just couldn't get them all in, even a big crown, how long do they take to go down, I want to know hahaha.

As you and all my neighbours can see, I am now 70 years old and cannot believe it, I think I am still a young person in my head, well until I look in the mirror anyway, haha. 

Thanks for a lovely day.

Re-freshed box.

 

Good morning, hope all in the UK have survived

the storm, it got pretty bad, I know many are still without power, and lots of damage. I managed to get away with the garden fencing folded up like paper and the concrete posts of two of them just crumbled, it was pretty nasty.

********************

OK then, I have had this box more than thirty years, it once was a green colour and it contained a gift from my Mam, over the years I have re-covered it a few times, it started to look very tired again, so grabbed my favourite papers and here it is, some black around the top and a touch of gold rub, tah-dah. :))

I am quite pleased with it, saved for a few more years I hope.

Here is a picture of the before, it was pretty awful.

There we go, another one bites the dust.

Thats all again folks, must say abig THANK YOU for the comments last time, its so nice to see what you all think.

Take care.

First thing I have posted since last year ....

 

Hi lovely people, so I haven't been able to create anything for a while and really speaking I still haven't. I saw this image on the lovely Brenda's blog and loved it so went grabbed one, coloured her up and just not got any mojo at all, whatsoever to make her into a card yet, but because of my lax-ness ( is that a word...) I thought I will just say, LOOK, I did something...hahaha.

You can find her and more HERE 

Will be trying to sort more things out before the month gets old, I miss crafting but, well, it just happens sometimes.

Thanks so much if you leave me a comment. 

Thinking of you card.

 

Sent this to a friend who hasn't been well at all over the last few weeks and has not had a great year. She is such a fun person, as soon as I saw these papers with these wonderful images I had to use.

I just did alittle stencilling around and on the inside too.

Left plenty of room for writing :)

Thats it, I hope she is feeling  abit better.

*****************************************************

Did you all have a good Christmas, I was at my daughters, she did the most wonderful dinner, and of course she cooked far to much, but honestly it was fabulous, only down side my eldest son and his little family came down with this awful flu bug, he was very ill but thankfully now getting better. Looking forward to New years dinner, fingers crossed.

See you all in 2025.

Merry Christmas.

 

Just popped in to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope the new year brings joy and happiness to you.

Yesterday was a baking day for us, well mainly Mia, we do it every year just because, they never make it to the big day but thats fine , not the prettiest biscuits ever but we had fun, Mia does the best designs, me, well lets just say I messed up, alot, haha.

Some already gone before I got a chance to take a photo.!!

Right then, think thats about all, Have a lovely Christmas and try not to over indulge won't you, haha.

Love to all.

A snowflake topper

 

Morning all, I made one or two or these last year, anyone that's been before may remember, anyway, I just think they are a nice way to top a little gift, this one is all in black and gold, ...which seems to be a theme this year here.....

I die cut several snowflakes on paper I had already splashed lots of gold ink on. Then edged them with gold wax. After which you simply layer them up and crinkle a bit so to make them stand, put a nice little bobble in the centre and done..

Punched out a tag from the same paper too, its not one of my gifts, its for Mia who has bought this for her brother. all very hush hush, haha. I just hope its OK for a young man, I can go OTT at times :))

Before I added it ontop, should have shown this first I suppose, never mind it all counts. BTW, it you make it in light weight card or paper it frills up better, well my others did.

Thats all again, thanks to you girls that commented on yesterdays post, blogger is really messed up right now, fingers crossed it gets sorted soon.
