Was it a good one?

I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas?  We had a great one.  Kids enjoyed it.  Lovely Christmas dinner here with Darren, Kids, Mum and b-i-l Robert.  In the afternoon as we all sat and almost fell asleep I got the Kinnect Raving Rabbids out and we got silly and played those games :)

I have a couple of creations to show you.

Here is the card I made for most people who got a made card.  I am not the best at

Christmas cards so some do get shop cards.  I used the Stampin' Up! Polar Party set.

Here is a card I made for Riley who was one on Christmas Day,  he is my cousins little boy.

Hes a real fighter. And went through open heart surgery earlier in December.  Sadly wont

be the last operation he has to have but he has done amazing to pull through so well.

Here is the card I made my Mum.  I wanted it to be different from the others.

I used a Toodles & Binks design.

I am enjoying massively the time off this week as I don't go back to work until the new

year.  Darren is off too so we have the time with the boys :)  I love family time.  We don't get enough of it

seeing that Darren works M-F and I work Saturdays.  Still maybe this year that will change.

Well I suppose the next time I check in here will be 2012.  Have a great New Years Eve xx

Penny Black Cutie

Today Crafts U Love got their new Penny Black stamps in stock and this little kitty cat followed me home!

Ohhh just look how snugglie this puss looks :)  I used Marianne die English Rose to create the flowers, I think I still need practise with these :)  I also use the Woodware "grass" punch to create the leaves.

Hope you are on track for Christmas?

Teacher Gifts

I always make a small gift for the teachers and this year I decorated books.  The Malteasers are for the TA's.

I really struggled last night, I had no mojo, so they ended up pretty simple.

Hope to be back into more postings in the new year, its very cold in my shed this time of year despite the heating so I have to forward plan my shed visits or get very very cold.

Happy Birthday Brother In Law

Its my brother in law Roberts birthday today, he joins the 40's club

I took a break from bunting and made this for him.  This is a very old stamp made by Stamps by Judith

Thought I'd forgotten how to make cards!! Its been bunting bunting everywhere!  I have a new order for 6 more too!  I have now closed my order books for Christmas as I want to concentrate on a special Happy Christmas banner for me and so far have managed just "HA".

How are you're Christmas plans coming along?

Busy Busy

And no time for cards.  Pleased to say my bunting has taken off really well and working on orders most evenings :)

This little bright one was made for a little boy :) To brighten up

his bedroom. I adore this Cats Pajamas stamp.  The font is a Sizziz

set called "Butterfly Kisses" I did get it from Crafts U Love but

I can not see it on their website.  The cloud was a fiskars punch

This one in real life was a lot prettier!  Lots of sparkling glitter

It was made with the beautiful Bo Bunny Paper

Sizziz Tim Holtz die for the rosettes I used the Mini ones

Fantastic

Went to the cinema last night with a friend Amanda, went to see the new Twilight film.  AMAZING, I loved it. Much more than I thought I would.  In my eyes the first the this one are the best of the four so far.

Today I "had" to take part in a special blog hop for Breaking Dawns release!!  Whether you are a Edward fan (me me!) or a Dog fan, sorry I mean Jacob :)  So after the school christmas shopping event last night I hit my shed and made these using Pixie Dust Studio's fantastic digital stamps.

You might have noticed

No Woodware DT stuff from me this week... I have asked Dorothy the DT leader for some time off whilst I look after my Mum.  She had her hip replacement Wednesday, still currently in hospital but when she is out I will be visiting her at home lots to make sure she is getting on with things ok.  it will be hard for her as she has two crutches to contend with.

I will be back to Woodware as soon as things settle down.

Woodware Challenge - Just one layer

This week is just one layer and this is a perfect idea for Christmas cards or cards where you need to make bulk.  Limiting the supplies means limiting the time too :)

I reached for these two adorable Stampendous stamps

Jumbo Snowfall and Magical Snowman

and of course lots of glitter glue too :)

Don't forget to follow the link in the tab above to see what the other DT are making.
