Time to craft.....

I was sooo cold yesterday that after a spot of last minute Christmas shopping at Gunwharf I shut myself in my craft room, its so snug and cosy in there....
I've got a few special cards still to make and this is one of them. The stamp is one I treated myself to recently, I used an old sketch and my favourite DCWV papers, they just go on forever. Image coloured with copics.
I am entering this card into the following challenges, Crafty Creations, which is to use traditional xmas colours, Simon Says Stamp, which is Merry Christmas and Susie's Sassy Challenge which is A Touch of Gold, my touch of gold is a bit of ribbon from some posh crackers we had last year.

Manga Fairy sends a bit of sparkle your way

Here's a card I made with one of my new stamps that dropped through my letterbox yesterday - no, NOT Magnolias, still waiting for them :-(



After much deliberation I decided I really DID need the Manga Fairy stamp and another 4 jumped into the basket at the same time - well you have to take advantage of free P & P dont you?
Anyhow back to my card, the current challenge at Susie's Sassy Challenge is 'Pink & Sparkly and I used the sketch from One Stop Craft Challenge, so a 2 in 1 on this card.
The image was coloured with copics and a lil' bit of bling added with good old Glamour Dust. Gorgeous ribbon just jumped in my basket when I was at the Range last night and pearlescent card from stash. Sentiment and punched shapes from Stampin' Up!

Day off tomorrow, yippee........ looking forward to not having to go out, the weather has been dreadful here in Gosport today, I had to paddle to get to my car tonight! I'm having an open day tomorrow, got cards, jewellery and some patchwork for sale if you are local and would like to come and browse drop me an email.

Aww just noticed I'm too late for Susie's Sassy Challenge :-(

Late night crafting

I was having trouble sleeping last night so after laying awake for 30 minutes, I decided to get up and make a cuppa. While the kettle was boiling, thought I would do a quick tidy of my craft room, as its next to the kitchen. I got sidetracked, as you do when you go into a craft room and began to make a card for an image that had been coloured.



I broke into a new paper stack from DCWV for this one (last years) had to have it but didn't use it - does that sound familiar? The papers just matched the blue on the image. I fiddled for ages as the snowflake was too big and kept covering Charlie's cute lil' face. The starry shiny paper is from stash, bought when I first started making cards. The sentiment is from an SU! kit.
I used the sketch from A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge this week and am going to enter it into Susie's Sassy Challenge.



Even managed to decorate the inside of the card again.....
