I've been tagged.....

I've been Tagged by Denise at http://craftycrafterdenise.blogspot.com/ and I must appologise to her for taking so long to post this as I've not been too well for the past 4 weeks and just completely forgot about it. I did this before but for those of you who never saw it here goes. I must list 7 random or wierd facts about myself:

• I have a lifelong passion for Teddies. I have 2 Steiff bears one Classic and one very cuddly, and loads ( lost count) of others. I also wear a gold Teddy round my neck that Hubby gave me on our first Anniversay

• I have a huge Dolls House which Hubby made for me. I made 95% of the furnishings and fittings and it now stands proudly in my Mother-in-Laws hallway. It got too big for our bedroom and she loved it so much I passed it on to her.

• I used to do a lot of cross stitch and once did a very large pic (36" x 28") of a 'Dolls House' which I worked by counting the stitches on a small picture of it that I took from a Magazine. I used a magnifying glass and it took me all of 5 months to complete
• 
  
• This is a weird one. I used to eat dry porridge straight from the packet when I was little. Yeuch!!!

• I love to decorate when I get the time and the energy.

• I enjoy going to the Ballet.

• I don't like red meat. I eat mostly chicken and pasta

Happy snowman...

This card is for an order. I used the snowman from Scrapbookingmad.com, he's a free download, I think he's a really happy little chappie. The BP's are Forever friends Christmas Snow, the scalloped circle is embossed with the cb folder snowflakes and the large snowflake is a Sizzix dye cut. Thanks for popping in. Must dash got loads to catch up on.

Monochrome madness!

Hello everyone this card is for Papertake Weekly challenge. This weeks challenge is to use one colour! You can use shades of the same colour and small accents of other colours if you like! I have used my favourite stamp Claudia by Elizabeth Bell and coloured it with Copics. The BP's are Papermania Creative Tones, Olivine Essence. The ribbon is Laura Ashley, and the flowers are from Prima. This card is for my Niece's birthday.

POSH MILLY AT CHRISTMAS

Hi everyone just a quick card I made tonight for an order, I used Posh Milly as it's for a little girl 4 years old on Hogmanay, and she is to be a Train Bearer in the New year at a Wedding so I thought Milly was just perfect in her little party dress. The BP's were free in a mag( can't for the life of me remember which one..lol) Oh!! and it had to be PINK.....I put some lilac in to contrast it a bit.
Thanks for looking.

DEVOTION....

Hello everyone just one card tonight been really busy all day and still not finished all my cards. Got Kiddies tomorrow and then I'm off out for a Christmas dinner with my friends so no cards tomorrow either.
This one is for an order. The image is from Pollycraft and is called Devotion. I coloured it with ...yes you guessed .. my Copics. ( I love them to bits). I used my cb emb folder snowflakes ( used it loads this year) on to pearlised card and the large snowflake is cut with my Robo. The rest is from my stash. Thanks for popping in I know how busy everyone is at this time of the year and I really apreciate you taking the time to look.

Christmas gift wallets...

I made these ten wallets for an order. I embossed all of them with cb snowflakes. Printed the greeting on the computer and added various toppers. I used elastic metalic cord tied round to hold them shut... a bit different from the buttons and ribbon I usually use for these wallets, it also made it a bit quicker to make.

I will be doing my PIF at the end of the week sorry to take so long but I just didn't have the energy last week, so appologies for that. Be back later...

A few more Christmas cards...

These are for my friend Dorothy, and I'm pleased to say....... she loved them...Hopefully now I'm feeling a lot better I'll get on with all the rest I've still to do. The past 4 weeks have been terrible not being able to do much and falling behind with orders and all my Christmas preparations, so now I have to catch up .I put the tree up on Sunday but only put the decs on it yesterday...lol.. I'm getting there slow but sure. The house is looking a little bit more festive now so all I have to do is start getting some pressies in. Hope you like these and thanks for stopping by.

More Christmas cards...

Same snowman different layout and papers. Snowflakes and scalloped ovals cut on my Robo.

Same card as below but with a snowman decoupaged on to an embossed hexagon...

I love this decoupage from Dufex the polar bears really stand out. Hope you like it, it's a little bit different.... Thanks for popping in I'll have more to show you later this evening.

Pollycraft Christmas card..

Well here we are another Pollycraft card. Not for any challenge or sketch but because I LOVE these images. Hope you like it, the stamp is called Devotion it's bigger than this but I chopped their legs off to get the image in the frame. OOOPS!! The bp's are Dovecraft Christmas Traditional , ribbons from stash and the Poinsettia is cut on my Robo. The image is coloured with Copics Thanks for looking.
