Brrrrrrrr it's cold!

Hello there dear bloggers.

Hope everyone here in the UK is managing to keep safe and warm.

We had a good covering of snow yesterday so I've been hold up indoors today crafting.
 

 

This is a stamp I've had in my stash for quite a while it's from Circa Design. It is such a useful stamp suitable for many occasions. I stamped it onto Fabriano water colour paper and coloured it with Distress inks ( Mustard seed, Spiced Marmalade, Forest Moss and Vintage photo). I used Spellbinder dies, labels 20 and Twisted metal tags and accents. The paper is Bo Bunny Welcome Home collection.

 

Now I am expecting the delivery of my new craft room storage on Monday (weather permitting) so I have been sorting my craft stuff and discovered a lot of papers and toppers that  had been lying around for quite a while. I decided I would try and use it all rather than stash it away again. It will take me a while to get through it but I'm gonna try as I just can't throw it out. So here is a little card I made using some bits and pieces in a little card kit.

 

 

 

 

All the bits except the green backing card and greeting came in the pack along with some other bits and pieces that I've yet to use. To be honest I didn't buy this set, if my memory serves me correct it was amongst some blog candy I received. I don't usually do ready made toppers but am pleased with this easy peasy card.

 

Well it has been a challenge getting these photos up on here today but I persevered and hope it was worth the effort.

Thank you for visiting me again today.

Venetian lady

 

 

Well it's my first post of 2013 because I've been busy keeping one of my New Year's resolutions to be more organised.

I started by clearing out the filing cabinet to make room for some new craft room storage which I'm very excited about. The shredder has been working overtime. I got a bit carried away and even started sorting all Mom's paperwork out. It's very theraputic all this organising.

 

Anyway I decided it was about time I got crafting again so I got out this lovely Venetian lady  and came up with this card.

 

The beautiful lady and the border are from the Venetian lady stamp set and the paper is Bo Bunny. I used Copics and Polychromos pencils to colour.

Thank you for stopping by today.
Hugs

Here's to a great 2013!

  

I would just like to wish all my dear blogging friends a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

 

Hope you manage to keep your resolutions. I've decided to eat more nutritionally and to be more organised but as I say this every year and fail at the first hurdle I'm not feeling terribly optimistic. Who knows this year could be different so I'll let you know in a few weeks how it's going!!

 

 

Before I go here is a card I made earlier this month using a free Papermania stamp

 

And this is a collection consisting of card, boxes and gift bag I made for a very dear friend for Christmas. The papers are Bo Bunny and the bauble stamp is one I bought many years ago.

 

 

Well folks eat drink and be merry and I'll see you in 2013

 

Very Best Wishes
