Christmas is a commin'

Morning girls

Well it's been dry and warm so one of the big jobs in the garden is now sorted.  I spent the afternoon yesterday staining the wooden patio furniture.  Gosh it looks so much better now.  Another few days like this and I'll have it ship shape again.  Fingers crossed.

I've another card from the new Polka Doodles Christmas cd to show you today

I'm totally loving this new one.  All sorts and everything on there.  I cheated though and printed the images rather than colour them but am pleased with the over all result.

                             

Michelle sent me these fab double easel cards.  Perfect for showing of the baubles eh?

Do pop over to the store as she has been adding lots of new bits and bobs recently.  I promise you won't be disappointed and don't forget there are only a few days left to enter the July challenge.

Thanks for popping in:)

Hi girls

I've a commissioned card to show you this afternoon.  A 21st to be exact and what better images to choose for this occassion than one by the lovely Krista of Saturated Canary.

This is Whispy.  Isn't she a gorgeous girl!!!

A few days ago my DT pack arrived from Michellflo with these gorgeous papers and brads from My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart range.  So of course I'd to use them straight away, well it's required to use new stash first isn't it?  Love, love, love the soft muted colours on these.  I may need to order myself another set.

I coloured with copics, Marianne Design die for flourish (sorry the name escapes me), punched flowers, a Martha Stewart punched border and a wee sentiment I made on the pc completed the looks.

Hopefully Michelle will like it:)

Thanks for stopping by

something very different

Hi girls

I've something very different for me to show you.  I've been playing around for a day or two now with my first ever attempt at a scrapbook page.  A vintage one at that!!!

All the paper elements are from  K & Co, Amy Butler range and are available from Mishelflo.

The lace, elastic, button and fasteners are from me sewing box and flowers from me crafty stash.

I love how some girls can create this look with ease but I was an age at this faffing around, moving bits and pieces, not liking it and starting again but I'm happy with it now.  What do you think?
