Christmas Star

I have been making some cards to sell for Oxford Retired Greyhounds and really needed to get cracking with some Christmas makes. I want a card that looks great but doesn't take hours to make so I got some LOTV diecuts.

This one is called Christmas Star and the die cuts come in 3 different sizes. I have made another 3 with the same die cut but won't bore you with them all - they are all traditional red and green cards.

Dog of the Week

This week is the turn of the shy and sweet Bouncer!

Bouncer is a boy who does not live up to his name - he is not "bouncy" at all - he comes across as a little shy when you first meet him but this soon disappears

At present Bouncer is still racing but should a loving home come along he is happy to hang up his racing shoes and take up the offer of a home - he is clean within the Kennels

Bouncer has not been tested with domestic dogs or cats

Midway Reminder for Ready-Teddy-Go

This month's challenge is 'Don't be Square' so we want to see any project that is not square and the main image has to be a bear or a teddy.

As it is coming up to Christmas I thought I would make another Christmas card. This is my brand spanking new fiskars punch which I think is called Snow Wonder.

 This is my new sentiment set called 'Mix and Match' from Imagine That. Nestabilities to cut out and glamour dust to the edges.

Die cut from Lilli of the Valley. Papers by Daisy and Dandelion 'A Winter's Tale' and base card is kraft.

A better view..

Hope your weekend is going well!

Lovely day out!

at Snazzy's with crafting buddies! Forgot to take pics (typical) but Kathy (aka purple princess) took some. Although I was going craft shopping, this is what came home with me...

2 pairs of shoes and some fabby Tim Holtz stamps. Kathy has the larger leaves set and when I saw I could get the 3 sets but in miniature, it was too good to miss!

Kathy felt the same after sleeping on it and has ordered them online!

Hope your Friday is going well and you have a lovely weekend!
