No Christmas Spirit

Hello Crafters - we all know someone who does not get into the Christmas sprit and this little chappie from Hobbyart just fitted the bill for a friend of mine. Love Hobbyart stamps.  Coloured him iwith Distress Markers and added some glitter for snow with a Quickie Glue Pen. Computer generated sentiment. Quick and easy but effective.  Have a good day - Mags x

Honey Doo Bottle of Vine Stamps

Hello Crafters - hope you are all having a peaceful Monday and not getting too stressed with Christmas preparations!!  This is a card I made using Honey Doo stamps and heat embossed in gold.The colours look a bit dull in this photo but in real life it was a very bright and regal card. Good one for a gentleman.

Happy crafting - Mags x

Shabby Chic Christmas

Love shabby chic but have never really been inspired to try it until I saw a card made by the talented Bev Rochester on her blog "All The Things That I Love" at http://bevscrafts.blogspot.co.uk  I don't often copy other people's work exactly but thought I would see if I could emulate Bev's beautiful card. I had most of the things that she had used in my craft stash but I hadn't thought of bringing them all together the way Bev did. I sent a photo to Bev and she generously gave me permission to put it on my blog. I so enjoyed making this card and I think that 2017 will see me doing much more shabby chic! Many thanks indeed Bev!!

LOTV Card for a 10 year old!

Hello Crafty Friends - I have been away from my blog for ages due to much hip and back pain but after hip replacement surgery I am feeling so much better. I am getting into my crafting again but there are so many jobs around the house that didn't get done while I was indisposed that it is taking a while to catch up with everything again. This card is one I made for my 10year old granddaughter back in April. I used the Lily of the Valley Art Pad image and cut it out with a Spellbinder die. The flowers were some I made many moons ago and were in my stash. Hope you like it!!

Super Quick Birthday Card

Hi Crafters - first card for 2016. I needed a birthday card quickly for a birthday I forgot about so set about this super quick and easy birthday card using Adirondack inks brushed on with Inkylicious Ink Dusters to make the background and Inkylicious stamps for the detail. Hope you like it. Mags x
