Die Cuts at the Alphabet Challenge

 

Today at the Alphabet Challenge Lynda  has asked that we use diecuts.. A simple baby card kept flat for posting using diecuts from a few companies and a scrap /snippet of pink card.

Thank you for visiting, I appreciate the time you take to leave a comment.

Joy at the Alphabet Challenge

Today's Challenge at The Alphabet Challenge is J for Joy or a Joy fold card and was chosen by Janice. So let's see an example of either. A relatively CAS card made with lots of dies and my favourite Christmas Embossing Folder. 

Do visit the challenge and see the cards there.

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.

Vintage Christmas

This is a scheduled post, so fingers  crossed it publishes when it's meant to.I am especially excited about it as this is my first post for the Ooh La La design team, thank you ladies for the invitation to join you and making me so very welcome.

The theme for this challenge was chosen by Pauline and is vintage, all the papers are from The Shawn Jenkins CD, unusually for me there is no image and the only thing not from the Cd is the baubles which were cut and embossed using a sizzix set. please pay a visit to the challenge at Ooh La La and see the variety of vintage cards made by the design team.

I found I had a little time on my hands the day we were leaving on holiday so made a second card for the challenge.

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.
Papers from Kameo crafts now closed dies from Sizzix and Tonic.Pearl, ribbon and buckle from stash

Relax

Doesn't that look like bliss I love a long soak in the bath after working in the garden eases away any potential aches and pains( at least that's my excuse).
Many thanks for all the lovely comments I love to read them.
Weather here still very mixed but not as cold as it was so I spent the morning in the garden.

House Mouse Love

I  won this stamp last year in a House Mouse Blog Hop, thank you Christine, this is the first time I have used it, it's a real cutie. Lots of layers and some paper piecing too.

We weren't flooded this week but the burn beside us rose to within about a foot of my husbands workshop, and our son was stranded in Aberdeen overnight, the trains north were cancelled and the A96 was flooded in several places which meant that we were unable to drive the 50 odd miles to collect him, there were services cancelled yesterday as well because train crews were stranded away from base. Hopefully things will be back to normal next week.

Christmas Wreath

I like the finished effect, but folding each of these stars 5 times was time consuming, stars are a Sixxix die, I used 24 of the larger size 12 green and 12 patterned  and 11 small stars. Ribbon and charm from stash.
