Winter Wonderland Challenge

Oh my these Fridays do come around quickly and here we are February tomorrow.
It is team Snowflakes week over at Winter Wonderland and this week we would like to see

Digi Days

Most of us have a few Digi's in our files we have not used - so print them out and use them.

We still have the option of non christmas for a few more weeks but l am keeping on track with mine this year. 

For those that know me well l don't often use digi's - there are some fantastic ones to choose from and Kenny K's are included in that list, l just have an issue with printing them and having to wait for the ink to dry. I left this a bit late to print (should really have done it the night before) and l don't think the ink was quite dry so coloured it carefully with my copics and on this occasion did not use prisma's for shading.

The Design Team have been busy and have some gorgeous inspiration to share with you over on the challenge blog here where you will also find all the details

Whimsy Berry

Hello my lovely crafty friends, hope you are all well and keeping warm and dry. Sorry if l have not visited over the last few days - life has taken over my crafting a bit, although l have done some catching up with some of you.

We have been to visit our new grandson today and he is absolutely gorgeous with lots of thick black hair, l could easily have sneaked him in my bag and brought him home.  Our christmas dinner went well on sunday and the turkey soup is almost finished, l am pleased to say the turkey fit in the oven and cooked beautifully.

Onto the card - l made this one a couple of weeks back using my favourite christmas stamp - Berry by Whimsy, l just love colouring this image. I have added white puff embossing powder randomly to the image to give the effect of snow and a bit of white paint to the holly leaves. I hope you like it.

William - to be known as Will was born on wednesday morning. both are doing well  although Nicola's blood pressure is a bit high so she is not home yet, we are looking forward to cuddles this weekend.
We are having our family Christmas dinner on sunday as we have a very quite and reflectful day on christmas day, 9 of us will be sitting down for dinner which my hubby will be cooking - turkey and all the trimmings. l forgot the sprouts on my shopping delivery so have got those this morning. l bought 2 bargain Norfolk Bronze ,turkeys on christmas eve they were £45 reduced to £11 in Tesco. one for sunday and one for Easter, l just hope it fits in the oven otherwise l will have to buy a saddle and ride it around the garden lol/

The card l have made today is to welcome Will using one of the gorgeous stamps from the last Baby release from LOTV.

Butterfly Wreath

Good afternoon my lovelies, hope you are all well.  Well it certainly has dropped a few degrees over the last couple of days, l am snuggled up with me fluffy bodywarmer on - until the next hot flush comes along lol - although l don't know what l am laughing at, they are very unpredictable and frustrating.  Toby is snuggled up on the settee too having his afternoon nap :)
So, the card today is using a stamp l bought last year from Chloe's called Butterfly Wreath, l stamped on white card and heat embossed with sparkly silver powder then did the same on a good quality thick vellum then coloured the butterflies on the reverse with copics, cut them out and stuck to the wreath - they are so sparkly l love them.  I think l will use this again to decorate a box sometime soon.
I am not sure what is going on with this photo but it is just pants.

If your Mojo has gone walkabouts over the festive season then the design team have some gorgeous pieces to share with you over on the challenge blog here

I have used the new stamp l bought over at LOTV last week - James Daisy, oh he is so cute. The quality of these stamps are brilliant with a good deep rubber which gives a very good impression.  I also bought two new dies - the dragonflies and leaves on this card. When looking through my stash for a matching flower l found these l bought years ago when the company was selling off Green Tara - perfect match, l spritzed it with a pearly cosmic shimmer but the photo does not pick it up, the centre is wood, l bought these in a few different colours.

A Little Bit of Sugar

Hope you are all having a good weekend and have managed to find some crafting time.  The weather has been miserable so what better way of spending time than in my play room.  It has been a while since l inked up a Sugar Nellie so l made this card just because l wanted too.   I think this is my favourite from the last release of rubber and she is called Live Laugh Love from the Return to Fairy Glen collection from Funky Kits. Her wings are beautiful and sparkly but the camera has not really caught it.
