Jolly Santa....

Another Christmas card today :)

I have used this fab LOTV Father Christmas stamp and coloured with my promarkers.... adding some glitter to the snow and his hat!

We have lots of snow here today!! and my son has had his 1st snow day off school! We dont usually have snow days until after Christmas! but he has enjoyed sledging this morning and messing about in the snow!

We will see what tomorrow brings!

I am entering my card into the following challenges -

PaperTakeWeekly - Cut it Out....Use a punched element, nesties etc.

Passion for Promarkers #79 - Old & New + Blog Hop - I have used a new stamp and old papers!

I love Promarkers #42 - Anything Goes with a bit of sparkle...if you like

I'll leave you with a couple of photos of the snow :)

Thanks for looking xx

WOYWW #77....

A little peek at what I've been up to these last few days :)

I have been busy making a Christmas card order :) A simple design but still takes a lot of time when you are making 45 of them!!! Especially the ribbon bows....so fiddly!

My cuttlebug certainly got a workout and a little crafty parcel arrived yesterday, more folders for the cuttlebug! Cant wait to use them :)

This is what my desk looks like this morning.....Do check out all the desks over at Julia's Stamping Ground :)

It's a great resource for getting ideas for crafty storage!

I am a tidy crafter most of the time!! and like to tidy up after each project :) One day I'll share the mess I make mid way through!!

It has been snowing here since early this morning so the velux window is half covered with snow!!

After sharing my little craft area last week #76, I mentioned my craft wardrobe...

So here is the view of the crafty wardrobe from my desk :)

Hope you enjoyed a little look around my craft space :)

Off to make some more Christmas cards, need to make some for me now!

Thanks for looking, I'll be back soon :)

Just Cute Bears & Friends #40 - Winter Birthday...

My card for the new challenge from Just Cute Bears & Friends :)

This fortnight we would love to see cards/projects for a winter birthday.....remember you can use any animal image now as well as all your 'cute' bears!

I have used this adorable LOTV bear doing plenty of birthday shopping!!

I have coloured the image with promarkers to match the papers which are Christmas papers from Dovecraft but there are lots of patterns which are suitable for all year round :) Great value for money!

WOYWW #76 and Candy :)

No card today! I have been crafting... making my DT cards for later in the week but cant share just yet :)

So for a change I thought I would share my workdesk/crafting area and enter the WOYWW challenge!!

I often browse through all the entries on Julia's regular Wednesday post {HERE} but have'nt taken part so far :)

So here is my craft area :)

 My desk :) You can just see one of the cards I made today on the right!

I did tidy up a little after making my cards so it's quite tidy :)

The other side of my craft area, I craft in the little alcove of the spare bedroom!! It's just big enough and there's usually good light from the 2 velux windows :) Not today though, it's pouring down!

The rest of my craft stash is under the bed and I have converted one side of the sliding wardrobe into craft storage, I will share that another time :)

Hope you like my little space!!

Oh and candy!! My blog buddy Yenni has some fabulous candy on offer {HERE} to celebrate her birthday!

I highly recommend a visit to Yenni's blog, Yenni creates beautiful cards.....you could be there a while!!

Yenni is sharing her fabulous craft space today too :)

Thanks for the chance to win Yenni :)

Daisy Window Card...

Afternoon!! Here is the card I made for my regular spot on the Squiggle Stamps blog :)

I wanted to try something different for a change and found this tutorial for a tent card over at SplitCoastStampers {HERE}

Daisy with Flowers is one of my favourite Squiggle Stamps and I have coloured her with promarkers, creating a little garden scene in the window using my Martha Stewart pansy punch and some butterflies!

I enjoyed trying something *new* and will make one of these cards again, it was quicker than I thought to make!!

I am entering my card into Flutterby Wednesdays Window Card Challenge.....
