GDT Card-Cheers

Morning and today I have a GDT card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday2  


I used papers that were free in my journal-when looking for an image the right size I found this in the bottom of my stamp drawer with no idea where it came from, not in a bag just loose so presumed it was a craft mag freebie but to be honest can't even remember seeing it before !!! Coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents on the bottles and candle flames.

Card Swap Reveal

 Morning and time for the Card Swap Challenge Reveal and 25 cards exchanges, my card went to Gail in Canada and I used the colour options. The stamped image is from Chocolate Baroque and added promarkers stamped onto a stencilled background-stencils from Stencil Girl and Creative Expressions.


I received a beautiful feather card from Tina in Slovenia.

Winter Things

 Morning and I have my first DT post for A Place to Start with a "ATG/Winter Things" challenge. 

What says Winter more than a cute little Robin and holly? I used an image from Chocolate Baroque and coloured with promarkers and then die-cut frames from Crafters Companion, p, paper from a pack I won but no name on the pkt, the little Robin in the corner is from an AALL&Create set

Mixed Crafts

Morning and what a morning to wake up to-almost 3inches of snow and still snowing! 
Just a mixed craft post today -the first crochet blankie is the 13th one I have made for Hollie since she was born-she is now 16yrs and still has them all on her bed. She picked the colours and must admit this is my favourite of them all -my fave colour being green-it measures 4ft x4ft and was definitely a labour of love.
The second one I made a few months ago and then a couple of graphite drawings from Helen.

Beautiful Robin Returns.

 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.

Flowers Galore

 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.
