Morning and time for the mid month inspiration at Stamping Sensations for our Christmas /ATG challenge chosen by Pinky. We have a little Robin visits our garden every day and sits in the same place staring into the window before having something to eat.
I used the Robin stamp once again from AALL&Create coloured with promarkers, stamped leaves from Pink Frog and leaves using an old craft mag freebie die from years ago. Circle dies from My Favourite Things sentiment die from Scrapbook.com and a gift from a blogging friend thank you Vicki- b, paper was an oddment left over from The Works.

Morning I have been inspired by the sketch at Cheerful Sketches and actually got a card made using papers from a paper pack I won but had no name on the pack, part of a stamp from Honey Doo Crafts, sentiment from Pickled Pear, dies from My Favourite Things and gems from a blogging friend in a card swap-the little flowers were cut from the same paper. The sentiment has stamped clear so not sure why it's not on the pic? I love this design and will definitely use it again, ooops I put the gems on the b, paper instead of the flower piece.

Morning for the last few days my living room has looked like a ransacked craft shop-with box of papers/stamps and die cuts out trying to get my mojo going-and a few trips to pinterest - and after checking card drawer I found 6 half finished cards-result still have 6 half finished cards BUT three floral cards and 3 yes actually three Christmas cards would you believe Leslie lol. I made a diamond point card using papers I won but had no brand name on the packet, image from Chocolate Baroque coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents, circle die-cuts from My Favourite Things.

Morning and my second post today is for the October cards swap reveal and 26 cards were exchanged, my card going to Pia in Norway and I used the colour option, pumpkin/chocolate/cherry.
Morning and thank you for all your lovely comments -I have two posts today-the first one is for the "Christmas" challenge chosen by Pinky for Stamping Sensations. This card was luckily in my draft folder-Stamps from AALL&Create and Pink Frog, coloured with promarkers. Die-cuts from Penny Black and a couple of doodles in the corners with a fine liner pen.

Been a while but having a few family issues and have had to leave three Design Teams as I am no longer on FB. Crafting has come to a mojo inspiration halt and have lost interest in reading too!!! Luckily my DT card for Sunday was in my drafts file and not been blogged.
For the sake of something to do myself and a neighbour have been knitting for premature babies for the local hospital-little blankets and hats which they are in need of-and more crocheting for Granddaughter is on the go too.

Morning and last Saturday of the month means Smash Your Stash journal challenge with Vicki of Stamped Smiles. Hope you will check out her block as she makes amazing journal pages and cards, the prompt this month is "Wood"
Not happy with this at all-the idea worked perfectly in my head !!! The wooden board effect background I made embossing every inch then dragging a couple of green and brown ink pads down the card, I then swiped the ink pad down the die-cut gate and quite liked the distress effect just didn't transfer well in the photo-trust me looks a lot better effect in real life lol-the gate didn't stretch across so cut two pieces of stone effect paper for the side, the butterflies and little Ladybirds are wooden, a couple of die cut leaves behind the gate -the shaped Crafters Companion paper was found in oddments bag and I though it would look like the end of a shed ???
