My Fave Christmas Cards Of 2011

2011-12-24T09:42:00.001Z

Good morning

That's us all ready for christmas so today we are gonna relax.

Hopefully I might even make a card later.

I'm joining in with Debby Favourite Five christmas cards of 2011

Were you pick your 5 fave cards and showcase them on your blog.

You can find all the details HERE on Debbys wonderful blog

1. My first favourite card is definately this one, I just loved how it turned out, I love the shape and the gorgeous colours.I'm certainly going to be buying more of these dies next year.This holly fairy digi image from Mo Manning is one of my favourite images too.

2. My second choice goes with his cutie, again I love the adorable snowmen from

the digistamp boutique.Easy to colour and I love putting the poinsettias together and glittering them

A very easy card to make.

3.My third choice is this adorable mouse.This card went to a very special friend of mine called Becky, who I met on holiday in cornwall in 1980.Becky lives in the Midlands but we are still in touch .Becky loves crafting too so hopefully next year Becky will start a blog and showcase her gorgeous cards.

4. My fourth choice is a card with no stamping on it.This is made with marianne, quikutz and nellie snellen dies.The QK dies were a bit fiddly but I loved the how this one turned out

5. Finally my 5th card choice is this raunchy card lol, it's for my DH Ian, although I haven't given him it yet.

The papers are just so gorgeous, I love the ponsettie die form marriane designs , the holly punch is a MS which is a 'MUST' and the digi image is kenny K which are a dream to colour

Well I hope you all enjoyed my fave 5 christmas cards of 2011

Don't forget to pop over to Debbys blog and join in too.

I want to thank you all for continually stopping by my blog and leaving such lovely comments

I wish you all a very merry christmas and a healthy, happy and crafty new year.

Quick and Easy Card

2011-10-06T16:41:00.000+01:00

Hi everyone

sorry for not blogging lately.

Had lots of problems with my pc, it needed a new motherboard.

I decided to have it fixed and have now got it back, obviously it's better cos it now works BUT it still isn't right and it certainly don't like blogger one bit.

I've also been busy sorting my ebaying and finding a holiday for us which I'm pleased to say has now been booked this morning... so were away in 2 weeks.....whoooo

I've also decided to totally ease up on my blogging and my card making, especially when it takes so long to post card with blogger etc.

Todays card I have to share with you is a super quick n easy card to make.

I used my new Mo Manning Charlie Chalplin digi, coloured him with prismas, sentiment is a digistamp boutique digi...and and I just kept it all very simple.

Well I hopes you're all keeping well and ......if blogger allows I will try and visit you : -)

My Mums Craft shop Challenge 21.. ...............1, 2, 3 Recipe

2011-08-31T09:41:00.001+01:00

Good morning crafters.

Well I have had megga problems with blogger and virgin these last 3 or 4 days.

I thought it was my pc having a virus...NO... so I decided to upgrade firefox to 6, better...NO.

So... I unplugged all virgin modem etc and rebooted it..better ..YES... but blogger wasn't and when I posted a card it didnt appear in the reading list and it took ages to upload the pics and bits were missing..grrrr.

When I posted on I.Explorer it worked fine but removed mr linky...So....I have done a test page on Firefox just now and it worked this morning so I'm giving firefox another chance cos I prefer FF to IE.So really I think it was a mixture of virgin and blogger.lol
EDITED TO SAY..once i added the links and piccies it didnt work either in FF, FF 6 does not like blogger well not on my pc :(so had to edit and post again in IE

Anyhow enough of my waffling........time for new challenge over at

Todays card is based on the fabby sketch over at the Willow Sketchie Challenge, at first I wasn't sure if it was me, but in my head I had decided what I was going to use and it is a challenge after all and we all need challenging once in a while,well I certainly do, so I decided to give it a go and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out ...so thanks girls for the sketch and the challenge :)

I coloured Marci with promarkers, Su pens and blended with prismas and oil.

Papers are the gorgeous First Edition 'sweet owl' papers which my fabby friend Jill bought me (thank you sweetie)

You may have noticed some Die-Namics in there too, yes the fabulous doily duo which is also available to buy from MMCS and the fabby Die -Namics button die also from MMCS, but be quick as they are selling fast.

Well I hope you all likey, have a fabby weekend crafters

Thanks for stopping by :-)
