Stampin Up! Christmas in July

We had a super day yesterday at Putnoe Heights with the lovely Carol as host. we managed to get loads done, and lots of chat with all the lovely ladies there.

Advent Calendar a bit fiddly with all those little boxes but a lovely idea, I must admit that this is the class sample as I didn't finish mine.

Some of the lovely cards we made.

And a box to keep them all in.

And a gorgeous wreath. the original one was so much neater than mine, but then I think it all depended how tight your curling was.

I do love Stampin Up products the inks are brilliant and the card and paper is such great quality.

Waltzingmouse challenge 41

The challenge at Waltzingmouse Makes this week is to make some little bitty cards, and I must admit I made these a while a go, hence the christmas theme, some are Waltzingmouse stamps and some are Stampin Up.
Hope the pictures show up as Mr bloggy has been messing around the last few days. and I have had to reload some.

Memories to Cherish

It's been a lovely sunny day here today, but very cold, hubby is away on a golfing weekend so had some fun in my craft room. I used this image from LOTV and had a little difficulty matching the papers, then I remembered these stampin up papers I bought last year.
flowers, pearls and vintage seam binding from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop.

Christmas is love...Sweet Sunday sketch challenge 93

Another day and another Xmas card and another challenge and this one is for Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge and I used my new papers from Stampin Up and the Xmas tree stamp from contempo xmas set and the poinsettia stamp from Waltzingmouse.

Love Stories ~ Clean and Simple # 84

I made this for the clean and simple challenge blog . using the new kit called Love Stories from Stampin Up, which only arrived this morning but I couldn't wait to play with it.

The weather here has turned to winter again, thought it was supposed to be spring now, what is going wrong here. Oh well at least its perfect crafting weather.

Card Patterns #55

Another sketch challenge again today, this one from Card Patterns, we sometimes neglect the men in our lives when it comes to cardmaking, and I know Fathers Day isn't until June, the 20th actually, the same day as Our Ruby Wedding Anniversary.
I will be seeing my lovely daughter in law soon, and she always dips into my card box, I know she will be wanting a card for her father-in-law her own father is no longer with us, and my hubby and I no longer have our parents.
WW meeting today, only lost 1/2lb last week, really struggling to lose the last 1/2stone, and after spending most of the weekend eating, and Mothers Day, don't hold out much hope of a lose today.

Card Patterns #52

I've just discovered Waltzingmouse Stamps by Claire Brennan and love them I used the Seasons of Love tags stamps, most of which are nestie friendly but they are easy to cut too, which is just as well as i don't have any.

The sketch this week from Card Patterns at first had me stumped. But I think it turned out OK.

Compose a Card #4

I am loving this challenge blog from Becky, she puts together a super package, there is a recipe a colour combo with a photo for inspiration, and a PDF files to download etc, and even a video. The recipe says to use a negative and positive stamp but I don't have any so I used white embossing powder on to black card. Don't have the correct card so used the nearest.

2 sketches 4 you; Laura 45

Thought I would make a card for a male after seeing Laura's card on 2 sketches 4 You. The frame stamp from Stampin Up made this so easy. I stamped and embossed this in seafoam white on green card also from stampin Up.

Compose a Card#3~ Friends till the very end
