Fizzy Moon Christmas Card

Hi everyone,

Well my Christmas cards are all made and mostly sent. I thought I would share another one with you this evening.

This is the card that I made for my Mum and Dad. I used Tulip Christmas papers and matted them on kraft paper - I like the way this made the different layers stand out. I then used a fizzy moon sticker as the focal point, which I think is really sweet. I also use glittery peel-offs on Christmas Cards a lot as I think they add some christmassy sparkle to the cards!!

I want to enter this card into the following challenges:

Emma's Crafty Challenge - Let it Snow
Papertake Weekly - Snow White
Divas by Design - Use some red

Thanks for looking.

Wales Daybook

Evening everyone,

A while ago, I blogged the daybook that I had made for our holiday to Wales. Well it is now finished so I thought I would share it with you. Here are a few of the pages - I will blog the rest another day.

I really enjoyed doing this book as it's a lot less formal than the traditional 12x12 scrapbook layouts. I'm also impressed that I have finished it as I'm not the best at finishing things! I'm still working on my wedding scrapbook and we got married 2 1/2 years ago!!

I'd love to hear your comments.

Thanks for looking

Tatty Teddy Christmas Cards

Evening all,

I haven't been blogging much lately as I have been really busy trying to get all my Christmas cards made. I have now finished... I think! There are always a few people that you forget until you are writing them so I fully expect to have to make a few more quick ones!

Here are some Tatty Teddy Christmas Cards that I have made.

I've made just over 50 cards this year so quite pleased with that! I'm sure that a lot of you have made more than that though!

I would like to enter the third card into the following challenges:

Cards Galore - Christmas
The Crafty Bloggers Network - Anything Goes
The Ribbin Girl - Christmas


I look forward to reading your comments as always.

Thanks for looking!

Oh Christmas Tree...

Hi everyone,

I've been busy making Christmas cards and have now done a total of 40 so I am nearly there but still got a few to make! I made this card using the Inkylicious Starter Pack that I bought at the Craft Fair in September. I don't usually make this kind of card so was a bit different for me! Think I need some more practise with the ink dusters but I am quite pleased with how it turned out. Going to try to do some more cards like this at the weekend. I used Faded Jeans and Dusty Concord Distress Inks.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cards Galore - Silhouette

Christmas Cards

Hello!!

I have a few more Christmas cards to share with you this evening. Last year for Christmas I received some Forever Friends stamps so was really keen to use them this year.

My first daybook

Hi everyone,

Thought I would share something a bit different with you this evening. I recently joined a group on Facebook called "Daybook Delights". This is a fab group with so much inspiration. Have a look at Cathy Vee's blog to find out more about daybooks. (Also look at her daybooks - they are amazing!) Basically daybooks are like scrapbooks but they are more informal than the 12x12 layouts. You can buy daybooks and lots of accessories by Amy Tangerine, but a lot of people in the group make their own. After seeing all their fab books I was inspired to make my own and thought I would share it with you. Here are a few pictures...

I have sewn it together using some cord I had and just used a compass to make the holes - nothing fancy! Daybooks are great because you can use your scraps - they look more interesting if not all the pages are regular. I would normally go for all co-ordinated papers but wanted to go a bit random with this one (plus I didn't have a lot of double-sided papers to use!). I wanted to fill this book with photos and bits from our holiday in Wales. I have nearly finished it, so will post pictures when it's done.

Thanks for looking and would love to read your comments.
