Jolly St Nick

Over at Tuesday Taggers this week the theme is Jolly St Nick

and what fabulous creations the DT have created to inspire you.

Don't forget that the challenge is sponsored by the fantastic Craft Barn with a £15 voucher for the lucky winner chosen at random. Just post a link to the Craft Barn along with your entry.

My creation is pretty simple this week as I've been a bit pushed for time since I got back from Crafters Companion Craftaganza.  We had a great time up there and there was that much snow up there I half expected we were gonna see St Nick himself.

I layered some nestie labels and added a bit of distress ink to the edges  then added a stamped santa which I had water coloured and stickled.  Bit of a cheat actually because I used the nestie labels that didn't get used at the Craftaganza and that the lovely Claire had spent so much time die cutting, Thanks Claire!

Hope you are having a good weekend.

I enjoyed Sheena's  show this morning and am looking forward to the one at 12 noon on Create  and Craft.

Not only that Sheena will be at the Craftaganza (Crafter's Companion) that I will be attending from Wednesday until Saturday. I am so excited as we always have a fantastic time.   Jayne Nestorenko will be there too and she is just such a lovely lady and so talented too.

Well I said I'd let you know how I got on with the oven cleaning. Well I must say the Oven Pride bag is fantastic, you just pop the racks in the bag and add the solution,  wait a while  (I left it overnight) and the grease just wipes away. I shall certainly be using it again. 

Now here is the card I made for Jessica's birthday.

As soon as I saw this image over at Kenny K digital designs I new it was the one for Jessica's card. She plays the guitar and has gorgeous big eyes and fair hair so it's  perfect.  I coloured the image using copics and the papers  are White Rose Studio.

That's it from me for today, hope to be back tomorrow.

Love Pat xx

The Calm before the Storm!!

Well today is my gorgeous Granddaughter Jessica's 11th birthday.  Where have the years gone?

She and her friends are going to see the Harry Potter film then off to Pizza hut before having a sleepover. Don't think there'll be much sleeping going on though do you?

I am just taking a bit of me time out before Grandson Elliot arrives. He is too young to go and see the film so is spending the day with us and having a sleepover at our house to keep him out of the girls way. He's been planning the day which includes bowling and McDonalds. 

Well here is another card made using Sheena's new stamps

 

This stamp is so detailed that it looks fabulous without any colouring.  I just stamped it with Archival Sepia pad and cut it out with the Nestie labels 8 die. The sentiment is from the stamp set too.The background paper was made using Cosmic Shimmer sprays and the gorgeous bow is recycled from a Chocolate box. (The chocolates are long gone)

Right well that's  "me time" over, gotta go and finish cleaning the cooker. I bought one of those Oven Cleaning kits with the polythene bag to put the racks in. Now I've got to clean it away without getting myself in a mess!! I'll let you know how successful it is or not.

Bye for now.
