Carolling Hedgehogs

PBSC challenge My third consecutive week of posting, think l am on a role.  I am enjoying being back in my craft room, if l limit it to one card a week that is more manageable for me at the moment.

Those who know me well will know l love my PB's and have a nice collection, l found this one which is perfect for the challenge currently running over at Allsorts. I pulled a couple of dies out and dug deep into one of my paper boxes and picked this one out, l thought l had a christmas one with music sheets on but could not find it only to find it a few days later when it was all stuck down.

Hedgehog Kisses

 Another play in my craft room this week. Romance is in the air with cutie. Hedgehog Kisses is a lovely Penny Black stamp l have had for quite some time and perfect for Valentines. I always love colouring this one in, l have added a bit of sparkle to the balloons with dots of glamour dust

I have had a lovely week 'finding' things in my craft room l have not seen for a long time, some of which l have thought 'what the hell do l do with this' I think l have enough supplies to last my lifetime and then to pass on

Lavinia Pine Tree

It has been an awful long time since l have been in my craft room but l am determined to get back. The most difficult thing so far has been to get access to my blog and then to remember what to do next, this is going to take time to do.

I have used this lovely tree stamp from Lavinia that has sat unused for about a year on my desk as well as little Pippin also from Lavinia. I used distress inks to create the background, Inktense pencils for the tree and a good dusting of glamour dust as well as frantage to create the snow, sentiment and a little bow to finish it off.

I am keeping this very simple and will attempt to enter a challenge - so here goes.

Edit - update ... well that took some sorting but l manages to enter 2 challenges and eventually link them.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge:-

Red Squirrel

 Hello my lovely crafty friends ....where does time go ? My intentions were to at least post once a week but l have failed miserably.

I am in the last few days of my 3 weeks holiday from work, as my holiday away did not happen l had so many plans of what l was going to do......l failed miserably at that too.

I have learnt how to list on a well known selling site though and had a few sales, l am selling some of my used stash as it is ridiculous they amount of stuff l have.

Today l had my first covid vaccination and so far so good l feel fine

I have bought some Lavinia stamps to add to my collection and as always when l get new stamps l like to use them and catalogue them. The new challenge at Allsorts is to use yellow so l looked on my desk to see what would work, not too sure of the yellow glow for the sun but am happy with everything else. I even got the old brayer out for the background, fortunately it is rubber/plastic so has not rusted from lack of use. Hope you like it.

Love the little red squirrel and we are lucky to have them visit our garden.

Christmas Love Birds

 Hello my lovely crafty friends. Another busy week for me with not much time for crafting. I have some new stamps waiting on my desk for a play just need to find some free time, hopefully over the next week or so.

We had a heavy snowfall on tuesday this week, the most since we moved here over 4 years ago. On my way home from work in the early hours of thursday morning temperatures plummeted to -12 so it has been verrrry cold, today has been much warmer and the snow is almost gone. It has been lovely to see the children out sledging, people enjoy the outdoors up here with so much free space.

This is a card l have managed this week and l just love this stamp and another one for the christmas box.
