Silent Night

Image from Mo Manning
Papers and embossing folder from Crafter's Companion Nordic Christmas


What a change in the weather yesterday we've gone from glorious sunshine to a day of mist and rain. I have stayed indoors and apart from doing an ironing have had a really lazy day.
Our son phoned from Florida this afternoon and they are basking with the temperature in the mid 30's, he says it is too hot but I wouldn't mind some of the heat here for a while.

the layout is the same as the last card on my blog but this one was made several weeks ago when I first got the CD Rom

Gentle, Joyous, Loving Season

The challenge at MAWTT was to create a winter themed card or Game of Thrones card. As we all love Game of Thrones I wanted to use this theme but just couldn't find the images and papers I wanted, hence a winter scene. I kept the colours soft to mirror the sentiment and am reasonably happy with the result.

We have a miserable wet morning here, so a day for the fireside with a good book, all the chores including the ironing are done, so plenty of time to relax.

Fa la la

Having a very peaceful afternoon, hubby and James have gone to Aberdeen to the cinema to see a guy film, didn't fancy shopping again as I was in Aberdeen on Tuesday, so a little crafting and a lot of reading, really enjoying Ken Follett's  latest book.

Father Christmas

Probably an unusual colour for Father Christmas's suit but I think I like the contemporary look. I used an old sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown keeping the layout simple.

14 cut with Sizzix Dies


Mens and cards for teenage boys are my worst nightmare, but I am usually reasonably happy if I keep these cards clean and simple, I think though that there is an awful lot of white space left in this card.

There are several challenges looking for boy/male cards something I find quite difficult they usually mean few
embellishments and unless it is a C&S card I find it difficult. I was quite pleased with the way this one turned out though.

This card is for my Lhasa's dog groomer she says he is one of the best natured dogs she grooms, but he has a naughty streak when it comes to time to come in from a walk, he sits at the door refusing to budge until he gets a treat.
