Rockin' Robins

Hello everyone :o)

Just a simple one today, using some robins from a Clearly Besotted set.


It's a bit smaller than my usual cards, about 12cm square.  The robins are stamped on linen card and coloured with copics, which is a fun effect and works well for small images like these.  There are bigger robins in the set, but I wanted to use the cute little row of them this time.

Fingers crossed, I should have my scan tomorrow at last... there's only me left to get the tummy bug, so no doubt it'll choose to strike tonight, and I'll have to cancel again!

Thanks for popping in... hope you have a lovely evening :o)

Cold Noses - DigiStamp Boutique DT

Hello everyone :o)

I'm here with my DT card for DigiStamp Boutique, using one of the cutest images ever... just love this new reindeer couple!


This one's for an order, but I've got a few cards in mind for this image so I'm sure you'll see it again soon.

More cuteness....



Aww!  The breeder sent me some pics today... the puppies are just over 2 weeks old now, and this is my favourite one just going on the photos.  I might change my mind when we see them in a couple of weeks though, they're all very cute!

Thanks for popping in... hope you have a lovely evening :o)

Without Words - Christmas (modern look)

Hello everyone :o)

Our theme for this month at Without Words is Christmas (modern look)... We're sponsored by the fabulous Bunny Zoe's with a £10 voucher for our lucky winner.


It's a bit scary that it's the 1st December already, don't you think?!  I still have soooo much to do... still working on orders, and hardly have any of my own cards made yet.  It's the same every year though... maybe next year I'll finally learn and make them early!

Thanks for popping in... hope you have a lovely evening :o)

Shabby chic puppy!

Hello everyone :o)

Today's card is for an order, although I have a horrible feeling it's going to turn out to be a bit of a controversial card!



One of Pav's workmates asked for this one for his girlfriend... she likes shabby chic style and he wanted a labrador puppy on it.  Shabby chic is about as far from my natural style as it's possible to get but I've had a good go!  Anyway... I asked Pav if they've got a labrador... he said no, but she really wants one... so I just assumed it was going to be a lovely surprise for her that they were getting one.  Ahh!  Today I was asking Pav about it, and apparently there are no plans to get a puppy... ermm, I'm thinking this card might not go down very well!

The labrador is from an old Joanna Sheen CD, papers are LOTV and the bow dies are Memory Box.

Thanks for popping in, hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

MFT Poinsettia - Craft Mojo DT

Happy Saturday :o)

I'm here with my Craft Mojo DT card, using some fab MFT goodies, including the gorgeous poinsettia die that I treated myself to recently... I've wanted a poinsettia die for ages, and this one is lovely.


I started this one for a customer who asked for a gold & silver theme, but I don't think it's quite what he was after, so I'll have to have another go!

**For Black Friday, there's a fabulous 35% off everything this weekend at Craft Mojo!  See this post for all the details**

Everyone's been struck down with Dexter's tummy bug in our house... except me, so far!  I'm just waiting for it to catch up with me.  Dex wasn't poorly for long though, so it's a fairly short-lived bug... I'd still rather not get it though!

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a good evening :o)

Christmas Tree Cutout - Craft Mojo DT

Hello everyone :o)

Here's today's card using some fab MFT dies and Doodlebug goodies from Craft Mojo... love this tree!


I cut the tree cut-out in plain card, and then cut it again from patterned paper, and pieced it back together... I didn't intend to, I was going to place a different colour behind the cut-out, but I just can't seem to resist piecing things together like this, so I just went with it!

Sooo, the scan... well it didn't happen!  Last night, about 1am, there was that ominous call of "Mummmeeeeeee" from Dex, which you just know means "I'm about to be sick!"... followed by the sound of him being sick... sigh!  It went on for hours, and we were all like zombies this morning.  The scan's now been rearranged for next Thursday... never mind!!

Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

Christmas Archie - DigiStamp Boutique DT

Hello everyone :o)

I'm here with my DT card for DigiStamp Boutique... I've used an older image today, as this one's for an order.


I'm entering my card for the following challenges
Sketch Saturday - fab sketch (that I more or less followed!!)

Sooo... tomorrow is my dreaded scan.  Hopefully everything will be ok, and then we can just get on with being excited about the puppy.  Fingers crossed eh?

Thanks for popping in... hope you have a lovely evening :o)
