Christmas

I hope everyone is warm and cosy, the weather here remains cold and wet with an odd shower of sleet, where has Spring gone?

Thank you all for taking the time to comment on my projects I really appreciate each one.

A very simple card today, it will probably go to one of the pupils on the school bus, hubby gives one to all the kids that travel on his bus. I was so tempted to add loads of embellishments and may still if I can get some candy canes.

Happy Birthday

Miserable day here we woke up to snow and hail stones, although it's not lying for long , we've had heavy showers at times and it is really cold, have both wood stoves on at the moment, and the house is lovely and cosy.

Image from House Mouse, teamed with papers from Nitwit Collections and a sentiment from Tattered Lace, I used a Sizzix die to cut lots of tiny flowers to add dimension.

Catitude

  Carol's choice of challenge at CD Sunday is a sketch,

Plenty of scope for a card here,  I used Crafter's Companion Cattitudes Cd for my card and kept strictly to the sketch with my embellishments despite wanting to add more.

 Remember to use something from a CD on your entry, pop over to the CD Sunday site to see the teams cards and perhaps get some inspiration.

Easter

I don't make many Easter cards, only for my immediate family, this is one using the printed images from Lili of the Valley teamed with lots of white layers. Miserable wet morning here I had hoped to go out to finish a small project in the garden but it will have to wait till it is dry.

Winter

Good morning to all who visit, I really appreciate the time you take to call, and if you leave a comment to let me know I will try and visit you. The internet problems we had have been partially resolved but our speed remains painfully slow.

We have been busy in the garden and building a new log store so crafting has taken second place for the past few weeks.

Today's card uses an image from Power Poppy and paper from an Ooh-la-la CD Rom.
