Similar Lilacs

Good Morning All

This selection  are like the cards I made yesterday but in lilacs.  I love it, now that we dont have to stick to traditional Christmas colours of red and green, although I do love to see a  traditional Christmas card, I do like using all colours.

I have not bought any Christmas stuff this year, only this lovely holographic mirri card is new, all the papers have been in my box  for one or two years, if not longer.

The tiny gems on the bauble are probably 5 years old!!!!!

Peeloffs are just as old, tiny ones stuck on the bauble on this one

I did all the die cutting first using a variation of shapes, then sat down and put together, I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

  Do you feel that sometimes things go right and other times it just doesn't come together

I did have to borrow the bauble die from my friend Val, Thanks Val.

All very similar but different and if I didn't put the bead pin on they would go flat for posting.

New Beads

Good Morning All

I took possession of some gorgously stunning Chrystal beads yesterday and I couldn't wait to get started on them. I bought a selection of colours, red, green, turquoise, dark blue, clear and mirrored.

Here is a card I made with the red ones and below is a picture of red and green, great for Christmas cards.  I will show the other colours when I have made the pins.

This card uses the Sissix 'Iron Gate' die and the Winter Wishes is one I borrowed from one of the Thursday morning craft group girls.  All mounted onto embossed white card, quite simple really but I think it looks good.


All bead pins still on offer at top of blog.

Use Acetate

Good Morning All
I would like to welcome my newest followers from Ambacrafts and Donna and Pamellia  too, I hope you enjoy your visits.  I love it that you  wish to join me.  Thank You.
********

Time for Charisma Challenge and the theme is to use 'Acetate'

I used this cute digi from the sponsor, coloured with Promarkers.  I made the card and then realised I had forgotten to use Acetate Gurghhhh  (senior moment  LOL)  so I put a sleeve on the card and decorated it with peeloffs - corners and lovely pink
'Ten Tiny Fingers'
&
'Ten Tiny Toes'

I used a crochet butterfly and used my bead pins for the antennae.

The circle die is a Nellie Snellen.


Sponsor is Bugaboo.
Back later with another DT card.

As promised, this is a pram / cot blanket I am working on for the new babs.  I first saw this style of crochet blanket on Jans Blog here posted on 20th Aug 2014, so I looked on You tube and found a tutorial HERE.

The wool used is the same as I used for Hollies Cardigan HERE, it is a very pale lemon.

Late one For Hobbycutz

Good Afternoon Everyone

I was asked if I could do a quick card to add to the Hobbycutz Challenge Blog so I put this one on, even though it doesn,t use any of their products.

It is a Marianne Die cut, which I use alot and a sentiment stamp from Hobbyhouse.

A nice card I think and now I am going to sit out side and read while OH gets the BBQ ready, Mmmm.

Waiting for Megan to get in touch too, she is having her 12 week scan today.

Got some gorgeous crochet to show you tomorrow too, learnt a new stitch and it looks fab.
