My card features a free digi from Clipartwiki. and a computer generated sentiment. I used one of the images and kept the card very simple.

Anything but Christmas and include some ribbon at Crafty Calendar
















Welcome to Decembers Challenge at Crafty Calendar, this month the Challenge is 'Anything But Christmas But Add A Ribbon' and our sponsors are  Oddball Art and Crafty Ribbons.

I used sweet silly bears panda pack teamed with a sentiment from bits of paper. This card was kept so simple as I needed it in a hurry. Please visit the challenge site and see the wonderful cards there.

Apologies for not being around much since I came back from holiday, I had a wonderful time and was exhausted when we got home. I also brought a chest infection home with me and that has laid me low for the past 10 days, still feeling washed out so taking it easy.

Thank you for visiting I appreciate the time you take and your comments.

Snowmen




A little crafty time yesterday, it was such a miserable morning too wet to be outside so time for play. Image from Bugaboo, paper from an old My Craft Studio CD and sentiment stamps from Lili of the Valley.I used a Tonic die to create the holes then hand stitched them with glitter thread.

A trip out for some Christmas shopping today, I hope to have bought most of my gifts by next weekend as after that I am away until the end of November. I hate leaving my gift shopping until the last minute, especially since I buy so much stuff on-line now, but a browse round the shops is fun.

Autumn







A CAS one layer card to celebrate Autumn, digi from Power Poppy , coloured with Promarkers and sentiment from Paulette at TLC. The colours are brighter but it was so difficult to get a good photograph.

Definitely an autumnal feel to the weather here and thankfully we seem to have escaped the worst of the rain. Loads of leaves to rake up and fruit to make into chutneys, jelly's and cider. Need to get it done as I am away on several trips/holidays between now and the end of November.

Naughty at the Alphabet Challenge





A big Thank You to everyone who visits and kindly leaves a comment, I really appreciate the time you take to do so.


Today's Challenge at The Alphabet Challenge is N for Naughty  and was chosen by Dawn. I found this image on a free Making card CD and wished it had been of a dog, a long search later I still had't found one so used the cat image, the "try and stop me" part of the sentiment was computer generated.

Our first dog was a German Shepherd who was a fantastic character but a terrible "thief " anything and everything to eat was fair game, he did eventually learn not to steal, but many a meal  was spoiled as he'd swiped the meat.


Do visit the challenge and see the cards there.
