Wintery scenes

 hi all hope your all keeping well and all ready for christmas, I have hardly done any card making for a while , until I received a beautiful handmade christmas card last week from one of my crafting buddies which gave me inspiration to make my Christmas cards  once I got going I could not stop and before I knew it I had made twelve I really had a productive day , a couple went in the bin at the beginning but soon got my mojo working  and went on to make two A.T.C  as well to pop in one of the cards I made  for a friend .                                                                                                      

Here‘s wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and all the very best wishes for 2022

Hi I can not believe i have not posted anything since April how time flies and to be honest my enthusiasm has gone no mojo or anything. It was my 70th Birthday last Tuesday 1 st June and I got really spoilt my Granddaughter and family did a surprise party for me in my granddaughters garden and what a wonderful day it was even the weather was beautiful one of my presents was some new Lavinia stamps , so I sat this afternoon and had a play nothing would come to mind I sat for  ages trying to think of something to do, but then I came up with the idea of a concertina tag card , once I got going I really enjoyed myself..

Oh it’s been so cold today I ventured out to fill the bird feeders and pop something in the dustbin and Lordy me was it cold. There was a slight breeze and it was biting ..  I have been playing with a lovely stencil from Lavinia and my oxide ink pads along with a very old stamp from magenta  the friends sentiment stamp is another old stamp this one is from Hero arts

   A bit of good news for me I have finally got a date for my gallbladder operation I go for my pre-assessment next Tuesday then all being well I go in hospital on the 19th February.  For my card today I have used a cute stamp from penny black I have had this stamp for years and I honestly think it’s the first time I have used it . I coloured them with pro-markers and added some glitter to there hats ,added a little bit of Holly that a fussy cut,  sentiment stamp is an old Woodware stamp I have had them that long that they feel like jelly and stretch like jelly too lol but still work just fine.

 Happy New Year, this is my first post this year I can not believe we are nearing the end of January all ready. My card today is using the beautiful Good Neighbours stamp from Penny Black as some of you know these are my favourite stamps of all time.. I have stamped straight onto my base card so it’s just a one layer card, I was very surprised that the inks did not bleed while colouring . It’s good to be back crafting but I must admit I had to give myself a kick up the bum, I think the longer you leave it the harder it is to get back into the swing of things.
