Long tall Sally

Oooh, too big (sorry, blogger I think is having a mid life crisis lol!). A DL sized card for you today which was specially made for the current challenge over at a passion for papertrey. I can honestly say this only the second time I have EVER made this size of card! Great masculine colours on this too (not quite navy, kraft of course and very vanilla).

Off to the BIG Swansea Museum two day craft fayre tomorrow and Sunday and squeezing in a little Aunties 70th birthday party too on Saturday night - yeeehah! (alas I can not promise not to have a sneaky drinky poo either as it has been so long since I had boogy and bubbly).

Have a great weekend and see ya Monday xx

Wednesday morning 3am

Hiya! hope this day finds you well again. A mix of cards for you today, the one above a 4" x 4" (I know a square card from me!) anniversary card for my cousin. The one below I did after experimenting with some paper flowers. The flowers were punched with three different circle punches and then were cut once half way to the centre point and then slightly overlapped and glued to make them pop and layered on top of one another.

Ooh I should explain about the title before I go, it's because of my recent late night crafty sessions and then the mind bending midnight head full of stuff stuff.  Ok off for a kip now (I wish) lol!

Have a great day & see you soon x

That fall on your nose

Hiya friends and some snowflake love for you today and have I mentioned (I know about 50 times) how much I love this colour. I was looking for a different colour combo for Christmas cards and I do like this one (it's real red, very vanilla and taken with teal).


I will be entering them into three (how many?!!!) challenges! Firstly the Christmas theme over at moving along with the times, punches at crafty card makers and whateva! over at cute card Thursday. I have made a batch for myself and have also stocked my shop (I still love to hear that) with a set.

Have a great day & see you soon x

It's a wrap

A SEREN wrap that is! It's ok if you don't know what I am on about because I hadn't heard of it either before this month's design team challenge. It is when you scrumple up (technical term) some cling film and dab into different colour inks and then apply to your project. I used some apricot appeal, soft suede and taken with teal inks from Stampin' Up! on whisper white card stock and I have to say I really like the effect. Hope you can join in with a little filmy love over at in love with stamping.

Shop around

Morning and welcome to the day that is Wednesday. First big thing this week is I HAVE A SHOP!! over at Folksy. You know I said that I have had (had being the operative word) a major mojo rush a few weeks ago and with surplus crafty made stash hanging around the house I decided to to set up a wee shop :D

Just a few new pics of some little ditties I have over at my shop - hee hee I have always wanted a shop!! The crafty cards above, I originally made for a dear friend who, although herself not crafty has LOTS of creative friends. She asked me to make her a little batch which I did with pleasure. I will be entering them into the current friendship challenge over at a passion for papertrey.

Hope you are well and wish you all a fab day xx
