Icicle!

Smiley faces

Someones car had already been smilied!!! Great photo!

Snow!!

The kids playing in the snow!!!!!

Muted colours

Been playing with some SU! papers that I hadn't managed to open before Christmas...aren't they gorgeous?? I have used My Minds Eye papers for the sparkly flower bits just to add a twinkle. All other bits from stash. I love the colours used here.

En Francais shabby

A few more silhouettes cut on the Home Accents Cartridge by cricut. The En Francais background stamp (SU!) in Nearly Navy (SU!) has not quite printed all over the card and I really like the shabby chic feeling it gives to the finished piece. Sentiment is from the Time stamp set from SU! Ribbon, button and cord from stash. Main bird image finished with glamour dust.

Summer

Really love the colours of this card....reminds me of the summer ..................lovely and warm. Much better than all this snow and stuff that we have at the moment. My Minds Eye papers, button, ribbon, tag and cotton from stash and sentiment cut on Cricut Home Accents cartridge.

Butterflies

I have been playing with this punch for a while and not managed to get anything I really like...until now. The Grungeboard is out again, this time its coloured with a PM and then red jewels adhered on to the curls. The Dream sentiment is cut using my Home Accents cartridge on the Cricut. Finished with a lovely cotton ribbon.

Guess who got a Cuttlebug for her birthday !!!!!

Who said I was a photographer ...................this is diabolical!!!! Anyway you get the gist...the bottom ink panel is embossed using my new Cuttlebug!!! The swirl is cut using my Cricut and a new cartridge - Home Accents - which is great, full of fantastic embellishments for any cardmaker. The door hinge is Grungeboard painted in white acrylic and glamour dust. I have another card in blue...however I have sealed the card in an envelope and am waiting for the recipient to open it then I will take a photo and update you all!!! Watch this space!!

New Year!

Well ....................having not done anything since November I feel I have abandoned my blog a little bit!!! Any way I had plenty of crafting goodies over Christmas so I have been playing with them and have some posts coming very soon (Just need to take a few photos!)

2010 is going to be a very interesting year for us as a family...... both children have important exams later in the year, both children have big birthdays (16 & 18!!!) and some further exciting news which I can't tell you about just yet!! (You'll have to wait until the end of January for it!!)

I have been off work today as school was closed due to the snow (photos to follow).....it may be closed tomorrow aswell (trying not to keep my fingers crossed!!!?) So I have had a bit of time to do some crafting.

Happy New Year everyone and may yours be as exciting as ours is going to be!!!!!
