Christmas card challenge

A few cards to add to the ever growing bundle. Sorry they are so dark, the blinky camera won't work properly, story of my life :))

Two pop-up cards, the instructions are here .

Well this maybe my last posting on this blog, I am currently setting up a 

new one.Why? I never really liked the name I chose for this blog, so I'm changing it.

Once I've moved everything over to the new one, I'll leave a link here.

Happy crafting xx

New cards

Oooh lots of birthdays this month :)

I've managed to do three this week (above) I still need 

to do another four, so I'd better get started.

All my craft stuff is safely stored in the garage

now, only problem is I'm not used to where everything is,

so I have to go through most boxes to get what I want :)

Happy crafting everyone xx

In mourning ......

I am sad today, as I have' lost' my craft room :(

The sleeping arrangements were not working out with the boys,

so eldest is now in my old craft room.

But OMG I didn't realise how much stuff I 

have acquired, it's scary to think that only a few years 

ago all I had was a couple of small boxes with my bits

in.I am seriously thinking about giving up crafting .........

LOL, not on your nelly, but some of craft stuff has to go.

Our bedroom looks like a bomb has hit it, I've put up a storage unit,

thinking 'it will all fit in there' ............. wrooong!

So now I'm going through it all, boxing some of it up and binning the rest.

Hope everyone is well in crafting land :))

ATC trail

I have received a lovely teabag folded

ATC from a member of C.O.C forum.

Thanks, it's lovely.

Christmas card challenge

A quickie post, as it's late - more cards for the christmas

card challenge.They are a bit 'blingy' for me.

I've used coloured mirri card for the base

and tried to use up my Anna Griffin bits I had left from last year (still

got lots left to use), + decoupage on some.

I am also in the process of doing a christmas atc book, 12 atcs in all,

I bet you can't guess what will be on them?

I'll post pics when I've finished, anyone want to swap them let me know, thanks.

Nite nite & happy crafting dreams xx  :) 

Circle Journal 3

Well since our lady at CH told us about the cj3,

I have been thinking up allsorts of stories to go with it.

This cj is different to what we have done before, all

participants are having the same title 'Once upon a time'.

We have to write the beginnings of a story, embellish as we like

and send it on to the next victim :)) haha ......................

anyway, I think I've come up with a good enough story

to start my journal, only trouble is now, I have to come up with 

a book for everything to go in, ....... Oh the joys of crafting LOL

Of course I can't show or tell anything more, it's all secret

until everyone has finished.But hopefully in a few months time, I will be able to

show pics of my 1st cj, 'Vintage'.I can't wait to get it back and see all 

the wonderful things our group has done.

I'm off to practice cutting board for cj3 now:)

Speak soon

Happy crafting xx

CJ for Suz :)

This is the new CJ Suz, it's 1 inch square lol (I'm only joking).

We have some banter going, because Suz and I are supposedly 'too quick' at doing our craft projects.This one won't take too long then :)

And a vintagey collage ? board.I can't think what else to call it.

I quite like like them, I have seen a few in the new somerset studio mag  

and will be doing some more.

2 Layouts

From scrapbooking club, last Saturday.Both 12 x 12.

I really enjoyed doing these :)

The pineapple on the green LO is from a clothes label from river island .

The green LO also has some drawing on it, probably can't see it too well tho.I found this idea in Scrapbooking Inspirations.
