In The Garden

I had a few last minute cards to make so used some Hunkydory  Little Book toppers teamed with papers from Kameo cards and Creative Crafting World, A Winter Walk in the Countryside CD .

I think I have everything organised now, just last minute food shopping to do, the family finish on the 23rd for 3 days  hubby says he will collect them when they finish work, so we will probably eat out in Aberdeen before heading home.

Thanks to everyone who has visited and left comments on my posts I appreciate the time you have taken to do this.

Summer Vacation

Hi and welcome to my first choice of Challenge for CD Sunday Summer Vacation. Please visit and see the teams wonderful cards.
You only need to use something from a CD to enter, an image, paper or even just a sentiment as long as you can attribute something.  I have used several CD's in this card MCS for the image and Robert Adams and Kameo cards CD,s for the papers.

Summer vacations were spent in an aunts home in Rothesay ,days spent at the beach, silvery white sands and lovely weather, no holidays abroad until I was about 14 years old,  I'm sure this was the case for most in my age group. So the above image may evoke happy holiday memories for you. I look forward to visiting and seeing your cards.

New Year

I was having a tidy up this morning and came across some tartan bits of paper. This is the result of playing with it.  Not our clan tartan but I made a kilt anyway.

The card colours are not as vivid as they appear here, the bow is a soft yellow and the green strip a softer shade.

Many thanks to my followers who make regular comments and to those who have recently become followers, I appreciate all of your comments and enjoy my visits to your blogs .I haven't been  crafting much in the last week or so most of the cards I am posting have been in my drafts folder for a short while.

I spent last Friday with my elder son in Aberdeen, catching the 7.11 train and returning home on the  20.22. We are about 30 min from the station so it was a long day, it would take me about an hour and a quarter to drive in, but parking in Aberdeen for the day costs more than the train fare .We met for breakfast at Frankie and Benny's then did some shopping before heading for the pictures where we saw Pitch Perfect and then Far From the Madding Crowd which I really enjoyed. Visits to the cinema are made more pleasant by the fact that going with my son means it's free as he works for them.it was after 5 pm by then so we had dinner together before I caught the train home.

Tis The Season

  Sentiment from Just Rite
Papers from Kameo cards


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.

Thank You

I like to keep several Thank You cards ready to use when the need arises, I'm afraid I don't think we express our gratitude to others as often as we should, cards like this are so easy to make and use the smallest snippet of DP.

Thank You

We all need thank you cards, especially at this time of year, I believe in showing my appreciation to those who have been kind to my family.

In The Bleak Mid Winter

My husband noticed this digi and the tartan paper lying out at the weekend so this was a request from him. It reminds me of a really bleak day hence the title. I also added glitter to the trees and holly leaves.
