Hi everyone, Happy New Year,

Is it wrong that instead of a New Years evening out I am at home crafting and watching a girlie movie? Tonight I made another card with a super cute Pollycraft image. They are so great to work with, so glad I got them when I did.

Anyway here she is;

Hello and how are you?

We all had a quiet day today. I finally got to do some tidying in the craft room so I can now see white space on my desktop. Whoops it was a bit out of hand with the Christmas rush. I fit in some crafty time at the end as a reward so I finished off this little guy. He is adorable!

Here he is;

The green colouring is not my usual but I quite like it. I was inspired by Graph it markers challenge to try a new colour. The layout was inspired by the Mojo Monday Sketch 325. I think it worked out well. What do you think?

Hi,

I hope you are relaxed after your Christmas break.  I had a lovely couple of day's off but I'm back to work tomorrow.  I wanted to get some crafting in today but I got distracted by new lego to build.  Still fun though.  I did manage a little time when the kids went to bed.  I am trying to do a bit of CAS, I find it tricky but challenging.

Here is today's effort;

I have used a Hot Off The Press stamp and an Echo Park scrap with Bazzil Swiss Dots card stock.

I am entering this card in the following challenges;

Geisha Kaylee

Hi again,

I won a beautiful stamp set from the very generous Kristy at Some Odd Girl Stamps a little while ago. I got so into Christmas cards that she sat there patiently waiting for me.  Finally I got to use her and oh how fun she was. I actually managed to use every piece of the set.

So here she is;

Teacher's Gifts

Hi there,

This week has been a busy one. It was the last week of the school year so a lot happened.  First up my daughter received the 'Endeavor' award for her class at the Book Prize Assembly. It was meant to be a secret but she guessed when she saw Dad walk in to the assembly. Super proud!
For the rest of the week I was busy at work or after school activities but I did manage to fit in some crafting.  I made the kids teachers nice 'have a break' gifts.  I thought I would post them just in case anyone was interested.
Here they are;

I hope you like them, I thought they were pretty cute.  The images are by Pollycraft and the papers are Echo Park scraps.  I have gold embossed 'THANKS' on them if you can't quite see.

I have got to get back to Christmas prep now, I hope yours is going well.

Nic.

Merry Christmas

Hi there,

I had a long day at work today, but I needed to craft. I went with a CAS card today to keep up with my Christmas makes. I went with a traditional red and gold design using gold embossing and simple dry embossing, with a bow to top it off.

Here it is;

Hi folks, how are you?

I felt like a bit of a change from my Christmas makes so I went for a vintage style. This stamp is a Cardmaking and Papercraft freebie that have been sitting on my desk just waiting for a play. Vintage is a bit tricky for me but this stamp just cried out for it and the papers which have also been sitting waiting to be used seemed to match beautifully.

Gold

Hello there,

Today's card is a combination of a few challenges. I love when I can do that, it makes the decisions so much easier. I have gone for a Clean and Simple design of only gold and white and I managed to get a Christmas card done at the same time. Win, win.

Here it is;

I have used a sketch from Sketch Saturday. The smaller panels are stamps from a magazine freebie that I have stamped and gold embossed. The embossing folder used is from Couture Creations. Then it was just topped off with some simple gem strips. I hope you like this simple but shimmery design.

The challenges I am entering are;

Sketch Saturday Week #287

Less is More Sparkle

Traditional Christmas

Hi again, I hope your day is as lovely as mine is,

Elf Kaylee has hit my crafting desk again. This time she is traditional with the red, green and gold. She is still so super cute, can't get enough of her. I think it's the hair that I love, oh and the stripes. Love the stripes, so many possibilities.

Enough rambling, here she is;
