Photo from last post x

Just can not seem to keep up with a daily posting. Two cards to upload today - christmas again. How much christmas stuff dose a crafter need????? Loads lol.

The papermania bauble card is quick and easy. I used white bazzil textured card then inked the inside of folder and away you go. Just added glamour dust to the swirly bit, the base card l inked the same colour and then stamped with a gorgeous stamp it is a swirly snowflake from a set of stamps from elusive images a couple of years ago. The sentiment matches perfectly it is from a goody bag from craftwork cards l got ages ago.

The second card ... how sweet is Milton the bear in his santa hat. As soon as l saw this stamp l had to have it and l stamped him up straight away. Coloured with distress inks, lots of sparkle added, think l am going to send this card to .......me. Thank you for looking and for any comments you may like to leave x Susan x

Joined the GG challenge over on do crafts hosted by Irene. A lovely challenge - strawberries & cream or peached & cream, l came up with this creation but can't get on to do crafts to upload it. This is the first time l have used this stamp and decided to paper piece her dress with the strawberry paper by Magnolia, l also used a piece on left side of card. The other strawberry background l stamped using a WOJ strawberry stamp and a swirl then coloured, glittered and distressed. Not too sure on the card but it fits the challenge.

Hope you have all managed some craft time this weekend, take care x Susan x

Happy weekend everyone, yet again another hot day. Only two weeks to my hols and am now starting to count down.

Hope you are not all fed up with christmas.... almost caught up with snoflakes chall on do crafts, think l am only one week behind now. This Tilda has to be one of my favs, l have coloured here with distress inks and H2'0 s and added a touch of gold glamour dust.

Flowers... Prima calypso, doily spritzed, small punched holly, card candy, The red backing paper is gorgeous foiled embossed holly. Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave. Happy a fun weekend x Susan x

Don't know what happened to photo - trying again

Good evening Bloggers!!! Thanks for dropping by hope you are all managing some crafty time. I don't want to revisit my day so on with the card,
I am still catching up on christmas cards on the challenge over on do crafts, l made this one last night using another Penny Black stamp - how sweet is the little mousie (l so hate the real thing), punched a few snowflakes and hey presto - job done.
Thanks for taking the time to look and for any comments you may leave x Susan x

What has your weather been like today??? Not too good here in Birkenshaw today - dull, showers and not too warm - perfect for tidying up a few crafty things. Decided to tidy some ribbons and did not realise how many pink ones l have. My craft table is now unusually tidy so will have to put that right and mess it up again or l won't be able to find anything.

The card.... l made this last night for my lads friend at school - Mel, she is 15 today and she loved the card. I used Kanban cake stamps from a set l bought a while ago and had not used, l coloured them with distress inks and added glamour dust and just kept it simple - l think they look ok and will be using them again soon. The papers and ribbon are the new stampin up colours that l bought in a share offer and l stamped her name from some CD stamps l bought years ago and again never used.

I think l should challenge myself to use something l have not used before each day and see how long it lasts for - could be a year or so lol...

Take care and happy crafting x Susan x

I was lucky to have a fairly relaxing weekend just pottering around and running kids to there various activities. The wind kept me indoors yesterday for a change. Another card to catch up with Snoflakes Christmas card challenge over on do crafts site. The stamp is a penny black coloured with H2 0's, sentiment stamp from butterfly kisses. The background has been through with cuttlebug with ink in the folder - l learnt this lovely effective technique last week (thanks Liz) and am sure l will be using it again. Nearly caught up so only 2 more christmas cards this week!!!

Hope you have all had a crafty weekend, thank you for popping in and for any comments you leave, x Susan x
