Happy New Year

OMG I can't believe I haven't blogged since 23rd December !! shame on me.  Only excuse I can think of is having my hubby at home everyday now, since being made redundant on the day of my last post. My daily routines have completely gone out the window and am only now beginning to get into a new one.

Have lots of cards to show you plus a pic of my Christmas cake, just realised that I never did post a copy.

Now for some cards - this years cards are already starting to mount up.

 Also made these gorgeous little keyring doggies with a kit from Cardz n Scrapz - aren't they cute !!

All supplies used on the above cards are also from Cardz n Scrapz and they have just got some fabby new goodies in too!!

Merry Christmas to you all

WOW didn't Christmas come around quickly this year, but then I guess we say the same every year. At least this year we are not snowed in.

I now have a House Husband too, as my darling hubby has been made redundant from .  They got rid of about 60+ employees this time around and are now rejigging the working hours and shifts etc in the hope to keep the place open - we'll see.
There is little to no hope of him finding another job, especially at his age.  When you see young lads leaving the country for work, there is no hope for a man of almost 60!

I hope I continue to get plenty of requests for cards during the coming year or I could end up with a large stock of handmade cards and nothing to do with them. LOL


Anyway here are my latest efforts.  All images have been coloured with copics.

A couple of weeks back  I was at Jean's house for a little get together for a crop, chat, laughter & cake and amongst all that I eventually finished this Halloween LO - I only had one Halloween type picture and this of my dear Dad, taken many moons ago.

We also got to make a card - and considering all the laughter & cake eating that was going on, it was a minor miracle !!!

Merry Christmas to all my blog readers and I hope you all have a lovely time.

Organised for once :-D

Lots of cards to catch you up on now.  I am so pleased this year, I am on top of everything for once and have all my cards made, written & posted and am now only working on requests.

Next two cards are made by recycling pieces from last years cards and added some sparkles with stickles.

Two Tatty Teddy cards using my copics and the first also has snow flakes vellum.

I love this vintage stamp and coloured it using copics and tried to match it with vintage style paper and ribbon.

I used decoupage for this card and wonderful Websters Pages for background.

More cards coloured using my Copics - I do love my Copics :-D

Non Christmas cards now ......

This card was for my Aunt who is a few young 80yrs old last Monday, I cut the 80 on my Cricut and then added a nice buff decoupage baker and a couple of wonder littlesnippet butterflies.

The remainder of the birthday cards all have images coloured in copics, of course.

 Lastly are my 3 ATC's for the November swap on the Cardz n Scrapz which had the theme of Winter - I used the gorgeous Tatty Teddie stamps, coloured with copics and sparkled with stickles.
