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.

Breaking Dawn Blog Hop - Pixie Dust Studio

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.

This one was made with the digital image called "My Edward" :)

And this one was made with the digital image called "Marry Me Bella"

Here are the other "twi-hoppers".  You need to start at the top and hop along 

to Kathy at the end :)

Christmas Shopping evening

Yes its that time of year again!  The schools Christmas shopping evening and I have been busy making bits and bobs to sell.

Yes! Bunting everywhere!  I am still planning on making a few more too.  Snowmen ones are the next on the agenda.

As well as these I have been making Reindeer and Penguin Poo and also Polar Bear Brew!   Pictures to follow when I have finished them.

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.

More Bunting

I am having a table at my kids school and planning to sell some buntings, well take orders to be exact.
Here are 2 samples I have made recently

Been really busy with working and only had a couple of precious days with my boys on their school holidays as working today and tomorrow too.  They are back to school Tuesday.

Tonight we went to a local garden centre/nature walk place and they had a special scary walk with all sorts of scary people dressed up and jumping out on me and Harvey... I screamed my head off!! LOL

Woodware Challenge - Spooks and Treats

This week its spooks and treats with Woodware and I decided to choose the treats and make this cute pail.

How I do usually try and use as much Woodware product as I can, however you can clearly see the

Martha "goo" punch around the top, it really needed something on the top and this seemed to fit the bill.

I have used the Francoise set Spooky Tots to stamp this adorable Dracula!

The Star punch is the "Green" sized punch

and you can not see it in this picture but I had stamped black bats onto the pail itself

This is an idea you could use with the kids to create their own trick or treat pail.  I know

my boys would love to make one!

Boo!

Here is the "Boo" Bunting that I made yesterday.  Again something just for fun!

The bunting shape is from Cats Pyjamas

The dripping Goo punch is Martha and I had to get this from USA

Spider and Bats are old cuttlebug cutters

Werewolf is Inky Antics (are they still about?)

The Ghost is Stampendous

Spider Web is from part of a Penny Black design, the whole image has a mouse hanging off the web

Lettering are Donnas Alpha from Spellbinders - via Crafts U Love

Hope you enjoy your up and coming halloween weekend, had wanted to visit

Tulleys Farm but realised it my long weekend  at work this weekend :( oh bottoms!

*** Edited to add - Pleased to say YES Inky Antics are still around and here is their link  http://www.inkyantics.com

Crafting for fun!

Well it doesn't happen often but today I crafted just for fun and just for me! It was lovely.  Here is one of the things I made.

I used the adorable Little Elf Present from Penny Black, the very talented Mo Manning designed this stamp and you can get it from Crafts U Love.  I have coloured with my Stampin Up! inkpads.  I forget that there are so many beautiful things to colour with than Copics to be honest with you I think I am better at this style than the copics.

Also made a cute halloween bunting for my front door.  Whilst Harvey and I were watching "Nightmare before Christmas" in my shed this afternoon.  Truly a lovely lazy Sunday.

Enjoy the rest of it.

Woodware Design Team challenge - Blue Christmas

This weeks challenge was "Blue Christmas" and I used an adorable Magenta cling stamp for this one.  I do not own many Magenta stamps so this one was a welcome addition to my collection.

Dorothy our DT mummy is away this week so had to get all ours posts early.  I made a card for her and emailed her, then decided I really really didn't like it so I made another.

Here is the newer improved card.

I stamped the image with black in and coloured with my copic markers.

I then squashed a versamark inkpad down on the whole of the stamped image

I chucked on some Stamp & Bond powder on it, I melted the powder

with a heat gun and then finally threw on some beautiful sparkly glitter!

This was mounted onto a kraft coloured base card, I folded one side back to create a z fold

card.  The Merry Christmas was made using the Artimo  stamps.  Unfortunately my 

internet is really playing up this time in the evening and its so slow I can't even post

links to the products on the Woodware Site :(

If you want to see my reject card, you can on the Woodware blog.  It was too late for Dorothy 

to change it so it had to be the one that was posted.  Still just shows you,

 I was having a  really bad day!

I think winter effects my crafting, the long dark evenings, the coldness ect :(  blur!
