Yet Another Christmas Card.......

I'm getting there very, very slowly but surely...LOL...here's another Christmas card made...one of six of the same design to be exact...colours vary but they're still the same type of card and the easel card that I uploaded in my last post was one of four of the same card so really I'm not doing too badly I dont think...LOL



The image is "Cherry Kisses Wreath" from Pollycraft Designs coloured with Promarkers, the backing paper is one of Jak Heath's and everything else I used is from my stash.

I'm also uploading another digi-scrapbook page to show you....this one got me the FSB...Featured Scrapbook...for yesterday on the DaisyTrail forum.....I was really pleased about that.




Backing paper "Fall Kiss" mini kit - Dreamer's Magic Designs.
Cluster "Along A Dusty Path" - Pam Lefors Designs.
Page edging - Granny Art.

Well thats about it for this session so until next time thank you for calling by.....take care!!

Good Evening......

Just a quick update...I thought I'd upload my recent digi-scrapbook pages...though I'll have to really put my mind into making my christmas cards soon because they're not going to make themselves are they...LOL. Anyways here they are hope you enjoy looking.






Thank you for popping by.....and take care.

My Goodness It's Been A Long Time.....

........I didn't realise how long it's been since I last posted on here...I'm letting myself down big time...with all my good intentions too...but I SHALL update more often I promise...and no I haven't got my fingers crossed...I think I remember saying that before.....LOL !!

I haven't had a good blog-hop for some time either...I know I'm missing out on so much out there...over the next few day's I'll be making a few visits though.

I am still really into digi-scrapbooking...I find it totally addictive...so much so that my card making seems to have been put on the back-burner...but I'm going to post a Christmas card I made last night from a download from The Clipart Fairy. I really do love this style of card...anyways here goes....




Hope you like. Watch this space there's going to be more....LOL !!

As I have just said I really am into digi-scrapbooking at the moment so if there is anyone out there that actually reads my posts here's one or two of my recent layouts.





Well there you are as they say...I must admit they're not as good as some you get on the Daisy Trail forum...but as the saying goes "you have to start somewhere"...LOL !!

It's been a short...but hopefully you'll think a sweet visit...so until next time thank you for popping by...come again...and take care!!

Grandson's Birthday Card

Just a flying visit to post the card I made for my youngest grandson's birthday next week....he's Thomas The Tank Engine crazy and I was given this image by someone so I could "theme" his card. I printed the image off three times so I could decoupage two of them....not that they show up too well as being decoupaged...the number four was a cardboard element that I embossed and of course the "today" is peel-off letters.



Another digi scrapbook page...a fun page I did the other evening...I love this photograph of Mathew and have wanted to do something with it for a while...the photo was taken last Christmas...I did a cut-out in DSA2...in the original photo he was surrounded by presents....LOL !!




Until next time.....have a great weekend.....and take care!!

Finally New Cards...and a bit of a chat!!

I know I've been very lax in updating this blog of mine of late...apologies...but here's a surprise I've actually three cards to upload today...LOL...one was for my niece, one for my son and the other for my grandson Ryan. The decoupage sheets apart from the Man United one were freebie downloads from The Papercraft Tutor. I'm also uploading a couple or so of my recent digi scrapbook pages.....I'm really getting to enjoy doing them. Hope anyone who reads my blog.....that's if anyone does...lol...that you enjoy looking at my efforts!!

We had a great time when my sister and hubby were visiting.....they're back home in the UK now but it wont be too long before we're seeing everyone again.....as I've mentioned in a previous posting we're spending Christmas and the New Year in the UK......I'm really looking forward to that. On Sunday we have my son and girlfriend coming over for a visit...they're only here for a week this time...he wants to get some golfing in with his dad......that'll be the last of our visitors for this year.

We've had quite a busy time of it over the summer months and this couple or so weeks but I must admit enjoyable.

I had a brilliant day last Saturday...spent the day being well and truly pampered.....among the treatments I had was a facial, a massage, a bit of reflexology and a stint in the gym and hot tub.....I could really get used to all that...LOL...it was great !! Never spent a day like that before but I'd certainly do it again.

Well as promised here's my uploads.....hope to upload again soon.....I keep saying that don't I but now I'm beginning to have a bit more time it just could happen...LOL !!









Thank you for popping by.....I hope you will stop and leave me a comment or two.....gets a bit lonely in "blogland" at times...LOL...until next time.....take care!!

A Quick Post.........

Hello again from a very dismal looking part of Spain.....at least the rain has stopped though.....but I have a sneaky feeling the sun isn't going to bother making any sort of an appearance today.....but then again you should never say never....LOL !!

Not a lot has been happening craftwise or otherwise with me.....I've just spent a bit of time popping onto various sites and have still lots to catch up on but I'm sure I'm going to get there in the end.

I'm looking forward to this coming Monday though and no mistake my sister and hubby are coming over for another visit and we received an email a couple of days ago from my son saying they had booked their flights for coming over in October. November's free.....LOL.....then December I can get all excited at the prospect of spending Christmas and New Year in England.....oh yes!!!!!

Well in my last post I said I was spending a fair bit of time digital scrapbooking......so I thought seeing as I haven't any new cards to show as yet I would post a couple or so of my layouts........




......well for my sins there they are...well some of them.....hope you enjoyed looking.....I know I have a lot to learn and really I'm going to......LOL......next post I'm hoping to have a card or two to show you !!

Thanks for popping by.....until next time.....take care!!






P.S. Still no sun but its just started to thunder.....and more rain...oh joy!!!!!!!

Hi...............

Just to let anyone who's interested know I'm still around and about.....LOL.....have really neglected my blog these past few weeks but I'll be back shortly posting as usual. I must have a good catch up too.....haven't had a really good blog hop for weeks and must visit my faves...I must have missed loads!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry to say I haven't made any cards for long enough now and need to get my hand back in.....anyways I will need to start making my Christmas cards sooner than later!! Also have birthday cards to make for my son and two grandsons so they will help to kick-start my mojo.

I've been spending a lot of time recently on a new hobby to add to my list......digi scrapping......I am still scrapping the conventional way as well as...I've got a half finished page that I must cut out the title for.....that will give me something to post!! LOL

The digi scrapbooking is quite addictive really.....to be perfectly honest I always thought it was kind of cheating......but I am now going to eat my words and take it all back because I've found it and am finding it really really fun and I'm enjoying it!!!

Well not much of a post I'll agree but its a bit of an explanation and as I said earlier I'll be back posting very soon.

Thanks for taking the time to pop in.......take care!!
