Cas Christmas Card

More Stampin Up stash!  I saw a great sketch over at Clean and Simple and decided to batch make some more Christmas cards. As I am still suffering with my fibro I am trying not to sit colouring in lots of images and if these get posted at least I won't have to use large stamps for them!

Hello butterfly..

Cherry set the Saturday Challenge over on the CMLI group on craft bubble and had a picture theme of a beautiful butterfly. I didn't want to use my usual gorgeous butterfly from Stampin Up so I used an uninked stamp (I know... who has uninked stamps!! ahem) from Kanban. The set also has 3 separate butterflies but they were too small to decoupage although they do match the 3 on the stamp.  I decided to use the certain celery colour as I had seen Clare use a similar colour on one of her cards and thought it looked so crisp and fresh.
I am really pleased with how it turned out, I used certain celery backing paper, elzybells (i think) sentiment and Stampin Up punches for the sentiment.

Scraps were the card the image is on (back of a card where a one layer image went horribly wrong) and the certain celery card stock so no new card/paper used for this one!

I will be entering this card into the following challenges;


Craft your Passion - card for all occasions
Flutter By Wednesday - use scraps and a butterfly
Do You Stack Up - use your scraps
Secret Crafter Saturday - white and one other colour
Jules Snippet Challenge (missed the saturday deadline..ooops)

Festive Strudel

It’s Rosie’s fortnightly Christmas Recipe again..I cut it very fine with the last one! The recipe this time around is a couple of festive friends, a handful of snowflakes, 2 buttons, piece of ribbon (hope the bow is ok!) and a Christmas sentiment.
I haven’t used these little guys on any of this years cards yet and they matched the requirement perfectly! I also need to build my Christmas card stash up as I foolishly  generously gave a dozen to my sister…



Papers by Daisy and Dandelion ‘A Winter’s Tale’
Image ‘Walter with Choir’ by Willow Crafts
Buttons/bow from stash as are the clear gems but they have been coloured with promarkers

ATC for Fibromyalgia

All atc's have been sent out today - thanks to all who took part x

Reason for being MIA

for the past week ;)

This is our new house..KIDDING! It's Thoresby Hall where we stayed last week and it was lovely.

This is the view from the library..

We had lovely weather which got hotter each day so we were 'forced' to sit in the sunshine (with a few vodka and lemonades!)

We went swimming everyday and walked around the grounds, there was loads of shows and entertainment on and we didn't want to leave!

I love gargoyles!

Hope i haven't bored you too much, enjoy your Monday!

ATC Swap for Fibromyalgia

To everyone taking part one of the atc's has gone missing in the post so it is very kindly being redone. I will let you know when I am sending them out. Thanks to all taking part.
