Robin with Poinsettia

  I love these Stampendous stamps, so I'll not make any excuses for using the robin again. I used Promarkers with Flexmarkers to colour the stamped image.
Sorry the photo is a bit bright.

Christmas Poinsettia

A variety of white and off-white papers and vellum included in today's card, I spritzed the vellum with water to shape it, but as soon as I'd done that it curled into shape on it's own, 2 pearlised paper die cuts at the back to give some substance to the flower.

We woke to snow and hail this morning lots of heavy showers but thankfully it's only lying on the grass although the hill is white and the top shrouded in mist.

Apologies for the poor photo the light is terrible.

 Hopefully going to the cinema to see Idris Elba in Bastille Day this week I loved him in Luther and am looking forward to this film.

Angel Bright

Many thanks to all who have sent best wishes for hubby, his back is improving slowly , he is still most comfortable lying flat, sitting is almost impossible but walking is a little easier though he still needs a stick. The bell remains in situ and thankfully is not used as often.

A fairly simple card again today I love this image and wonder what they are thinking.

Merry Christmas

It' a few weeks since I entered the challenge at 52 CCT but I've managed this one.

The poinsettia was made from several die cuts on 90gsm copier paper I have have some bits left after experimenting. I then stamped the layers and coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens before misting with water scrunching then flattening the paper and leavint it to dry.Even though the finished flower looks delicate it is sturdy.

Quick and Simple

A really simple and quite plain card for a few challenges.

Time for crafting has been very limited I have been catching up on recording lots of information in my family tree, still need to make a few trips to the library in a nearby town to see if I can have an article  from the local newspaper microfiche from 1898 copied, I would like to take it to a family member who was unaware of this great uncle. If they can't copy it I will take notes then type them up.

Wreath

We've had a busy week, my son had to go flat hunting after receiving notice that his landlord was putting the flat he rents up for sale, he has been there for 4 years and liked it. Shame he couldn't afford to buy it but at £150,000 for a 1 bed it was out of his reach.
We spent 2 days viewing flats after spending 2 days looking on line. I found it hard to believe that some flats weren't even cleaned for people viewing, The cost for some was astronomical, Aberdeen is probably the most expensive place to stay in Scotland but £700 per month for a place where the kitchen was 6ftx 4ft and there was no hanging space / wardrobe in the bedroom really was shocking. He did eventually find a place which he liked but it really stretched his budget rent and council tax are £ 850 a month, then bills on top of that, but it is spacious and only a 5 min walk to his work.

52 CCT Challenge

  Apologies for the quality of the photo my poinsettia and banners are not as clear as I would like though the sentiment is ok, I wonder if it's the colour of my papers, the green is quite dark. Had to have another go at the border, this time I have used a contrasting colour underneath and I think it gives more definition.

A quiet house today no.2 son is away to London with his brother for the weekend. It will give me a chance to get his room tidied and the bedding changed. It's a beautiful morning quite warm already and it's only 07:30, a day to spend out of doors.

All of these items have been in my stash for over a year.


I seem to have lost my mojo and am struggling to produce anything I like, After I took this photo I noticed a white thread at the left , but my batteries had run out and I just left it with this picture. It fits the criteria for loads of Christmas Challenges.
