Skating Along

 Hello my lovely crafty friends, hope you are all keeping safe and well. We have been lucky with the weather today compared to much of the UK, a very crisp day but no fresh snow just the dusting from a few days ago.

My dog loves in his walks in the snow and yesterday the woodland over the road looked so pretty. Don't think l would manage skates these days so donned my wellies and warm jacket.

I am loving being back in my craft room, today l have been getting inky and l will share those another day but today this image is just perfect.

Christmas 1920

 Here l am again. survived my first post in a long time and made it back into the craft room.  Had a bit of a struggle with my last post as the settings on blogger have changed a bit so l need to get back with the times. Think l should have a bit of time looking at my old favourites as well as Brenda has told me Penny Black and More is no more but is now Chocolate Baroque and l don't have a single one of their stamps, although if my memory is correct they are the reinvented  Elusive Images - l could be wrong and am sure someone will let me know on that one.

I am hoping to get on with my christmas cards as for the first time in years l had to send out bought ones which is ridiculous given the amount of stash l have.

This is another of those unused stamps on my desk and l thought l would keep it simple, l had a colour in mind so next was to choose the papers and as the image has baubles hanging from her tinsel l pulled some bauble dies to complete it.

Alium Panel

 Hello. It is almost a year since l have posted. l started with good intentions last year then went on holiday then lockdown happened and l was not sure how l would get home, thankfully l did get home safely. We all know the rest, our entire worlds were turned upside down. My next holiday did not happen so changed to july this year but now thinking easter 2022 will be safer. Anyway enough doom and gloom, l am relieved to say everyone is safe in the family and looking forward to the day we have some normality. 

I have been having a secret little peep around blogland over the last week and thought it was time to blow the dust off my desk in the craft room and have a play. For a bit of inspiration l looked at the Allsorts challenge as they always have a good challenge set by the team. I bought this stamp from a friend last year along with a few others that are currently on my desk waiting to be used.

Parisian Stroll

Hello lovely crafty friends, hope you have had a good start to the week. I had a little play in my crafty den yesterday making another card for a march birthday - onto april soon.
We have had a lovely day up here with the sun shining and a breeze, so nice to get the towels out on the line to dry - it is the little things in life that make me happy ;)
I recently bought this stamp from a friend and knew l had the perfect papers to use and even decorated the inside. Hope you like it.

Hello lovely crafty friends, hope you have all had a good week. Pretty quite up here around the Moray Firth area, a threat of snow on thursday but didn't settle so all good.

I am well on track for completing my March birthday cards before l head off on my hols. This card is for my son in law who celebrates his birthday today - perfect image as he likes the odd glass or three.

I have had the set of Flippin Stamps for years and many of them unused.

Sugar Nellie Charlotte.

Hello my lovely crafty friends, hope you are all having a lovely weekend. As the weather has been quite mixed here l decided to spend yesterday in my craft room.

I was lucky this week as Random Org picked my number over at Allsorts, this weeks challenge is Girly so l had no hesitation in getting some pretty stash out as l love a bit of pink and girly.

When my grand daughter came this week she noticed l have been back in the craft room, when l told her l am working my way through the calender she said she hoped l was soon on May.  This card is for Esther and l can share it with you as she does not see my blog.

Bluebells

Hello lovely crafty friends, hope you have all had a good week and managed to survive the bad weather, wonder what storm this weekend is going to bring.

All is well here although it has been windy all week, a good excuse to stay indoors nice and cosy.

A couple of weeks to go till l am on my jollies soaking up some much needed sun, need to start my packing this weekend.

Onto my card for today, First time using this stamp and was not sure what to do with it. I used a stencil to create the background then stamped the bluebell, coloured with copics and added a bit of glamour dust. It has gone off to a friend and l just added a happy birthday to the front.
