Top Five(ish) of 2013

Hello again! 

Well here I am, with my last post of 2013 and I wanted to share with you what have been my favourites of the year. Well, they're my favourites as I write this. I could have chosen more.

My favourite Tiddly Inks stamp and quite possibly my most used stamp EVER. This was my first attempt at cropping the image and using just a head shot but I was so pleased with how it turned out.

A very simple card, literally thrown together when I got back home from the SECC in October with some new stash! Simple but I love it.

A card with slightly more thrown at it. This was a DT card for That Craft Place and the theme was stitches. So I decided just to go a bit wild!

Another DT card but this time a card that was actually made for the lovely Sandra's daughter. It's my first ever Time for Tea Designs image and I need to get some more in the new year!

A card for Scott using Jake from Visible Image.  He loved it and declared his day to have been AWESOMELY EPIC.

And last, but certainly not least, Craig's birthday card. This Kraftin Kimmie image reminded me so much of Craig on the computer/games console and I found the bubble sentiment in some long forgotten stash and it just seemed so appropriate.

So that's it. 2013 in a nutshell. I've had some highs, I've had some lows but you know what, you guys have been there and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it (not least because I know I'm not talking to myself)

It's onwards and upwards for 2014! Things are going to get better :D

I'm off to prepare the house for our Hogmanay party later so as my Mum would have said - "lang may yer lum reek".....

Have a good one!

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at That Craft Place

This time our theme is

Inspired by Music

And here is my creation for the day. I was a bit stuck tbh, wasn't sure what I was going to go with and then I remembered this wee Kraftin Kimmie image and Alice Cooper's song Poison came in to my head.... and so the card was born - the DCWV paper was just perfect and I've added a wee bottle of poison too (well purple stickles)

Not my most favourite of challenges but still it wouldn't be a challenge then would it?!

But still, despite it not being my most favourite I have managed to produce two things this week... two little gift bags one of which I made myself and the other which is a kraft bag which I altered.

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Creative Craft Challenges

This time our theme is

For The Kids

Our sponsors this fortnight are Dustin Pike and Meiflower.

I've gone for something a little different this time and made a corner bookmark using the lovely Erin's tut on That Craft Place Inpsiration Blog. I kept it fairly simple though, given that it was for Craig and to go in a book!

I was going to make another for Scott at the same time and I had the stamp in my hand when I was organising things. Put it down, and couldn't find it again! I have found it again now but it was too late to put on the blog!

Computer Nerd

There's a bit of a post birthday lull going on here... 

Craig had a great day yesterday and thanks to everyone for his good wishes. And to top it all it was Tuesday so Dominos do two for one on a Tuesday so that's what he picked for his birthday tea! I had been looking forward to a sneaky wee fish supper cos I was sure that's what he would pick :(  Never mind, I'll get to choose when it's my birthday in April :)

So this is the card I made him. This is my very first Kraftin Kimmie stamp and it definitely won't be the last. I'm after some of the new release that came out the other night and some more of them that I've spied..... I feel a new obsession coming on!
