O Holy Night

Hello.

Today's card is using an old Stampin Up stamp I discovered when I was looking for something else. And the star background is the first time I did this - the card I shared earlier was the leftovers!

Be The Tree

Hello.

I've made this card in order to join in the fun at Fezziwig's.  I'm not sure James is decorating the tree, I think he is the tree!

What a Balloon

Hello.

I saw the challenge over at Fezziwigs for interactive cards and decided I'd have a go.  I'm not sure what I had planned, but I know this didn't turn out like I planned! I think I'm happy with it though.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning.

It's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'.

This time our theme is Make Your Own Background.

I'm not very confident when it comes to this sort of thing, but I stepped out the comfort zone, got the gelli plate and chalk paints out of the bag and went for it! I really love how it turned out.

Little Meeces

Hello.

Today's card is the birthday card I made recently for my aunt. I used one of the LOTV Simply Print images.  I've always resisted using these as I always thought it was cheating but I actually really like this.  I hope she did too.

Just Resting My Eyes

Morning.

That's something my Mum and Dad used to say all the time when they were snoozing in the armchair! I shared this card today as I thought he might have been watching the TV from yesterday and it's sent him to sleep.

This, as you can see, is another Father's Day card. And another of the ones I made for a friend.

I've gone for a one layer card using the Stampin Up French Foliage and Plane and Simple Sets and some different coloured inks!

After All This Time? Always.

Morning.

Isn't it cold?! Still, I'd rather have the cold than the pouring rain.

So today's card - which I put on last week as the card for today now takes on a different significance given the horrible week it's been. First of all David Bowie and then Alan Rickman, both particular favourites of mine, it's been a particularly sad week.

After the Harry Potter wedding card I was asked to make a birthday card, but this time with just Hermione and in a similar style to the wedding card. It's kind of the same but different.
