Thought you might like to see my dining table! Craft stuff has taken over. You can make out my Patchwork pal images I stamped and coloured to the left of the picture which have now been made into a christmas card. The table has been cluttered for a while as i usually pack up my christmas craft stuff and put away upstairs but while I am using it I cant be bothered to keep packing it away and get it out again much to my families disgust. Oh well only a few more weeks and then it can all go away until next year!!

Christmas tree


This is the papermania christmas tree from the signature range stamped and embossed with holographic embossing powder to give it a nice glittery look. A quick simple christmas card but must admit missed my colouring in.
I have been colouring in my new magnolia tilda with peaches stamp this evening. Inspiration from Messy stamper I didn't have all the colours in the recipe but had most so have been playing and having a great time. A change from christmas now and again is just whats needed.

Polar Bears


Love this woodware polar bear stamp but sadly not much colouring in :(
Used labels one nestabilities for this one.

Anniversary cards



Here are three cards I made for mum & dads wedding anniversary. Dad asked me to make one for mum , mum asked me to make one Dad and I made one for me for both of them ! I have used Kanban card, sizzix die cuts nestabilites embossing folders penny black stamp and copic colouring



Patchwork pals from QVC

Although I haven't blogged for a while I have been busy card making as this is a busy time of year birthday wise for me not forgetting christmas cards too!! This card was made using the QVC patchwork pals kit for my eleven year old niece.

Just a few more Christmas cards

















Just love the Daisy & Dandelion christmas papers. The rich red and green papers are sooo nice. The sentiments are from the paper pack also.These are just a selection I have made using my magnolia stamp, pink gem rudolph stamp and craft uk santa and penguin set. I have had so much fun colouring them in with my copic pens. I have been searching for fabric christmas flowers ie poinsettia's to no avail , so decided to get the sizzlit die and make my own paper ones!! The father christmas' in the craft uk set are adorable. I have one problem I keep stamping and colouring so I have loads of images to make into cards.LOL.The magnolia card has been coloured with promarkers- my superbargains from hobbycraft. Still prefer my copic though.

Xmas Magnolia




Made a start on my christmas cards. This one is a new (to me) Magnolia stamp. I bought some promarkers in the sale and was comparing to my copics.Think i prefer copics as i like the brush nib rather than the felt pen feel but they are ok. The papers are from the Daisy & dandelion do craft xmas pad and finished off with a diecut snowflake. Apologies for the picture there seems to be a bit of flash back. Oh and I had some good news the other day I won a prize in Beautiful cards. My cards have been printed in the readers letters issue 35. Cant wait for my goodies to arrive.
