Happy Christmas

I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year xx

Autumn leaves

This is a card I made for my nephews birthday. The panel was made using pan pastels and a bit of clingfilm. The tag and the leaves are both made with Spellbinders dies.

Thanks for popping by. Pam x

Cards made at crop

Here are a few cards I made at The Benfleet Scrappers crop yesterday. The first three have been made using a Tattered Lace corner die and a La La Land banner die. The fourth card was made using a glittered acetate flower that I made up months ago lol. Thank you for looking. Pam x

40th Birthday Card

Sorry haven't blogged for a while. This is a 8x8 card I made recently for a colleague's 40th Birthday yesterday.Hope you like it.

I love shoes, what girl doesn't lol x

I have had this stamp for some time, but because it was unmounted and I hate the job of attaching the foam I did't get around to using it until now!

I like the black & white one with just a bit of pink bling but I think the other one is richer looking.

I used some pretty papers from my stash and a variety of punches & dies.

Thanks for looking.

Another weekend nearly over!

Sorry no cards today - no time for crafting :-[

We have taken our son back to Muswell Hill and on the way home we went via Stratford so that I could see the Olympic Stadium. Of course I have seen it on the TV and I've seen it from the train but I got to see it a bit closer from the car.  I'm sorry that I didn't go up for a look around after the games but perhaps I'll get one of my brothers, who are West Ham fans, to take me to a match when WH take the stadium over.
Hope you have a good week, thanks for stopping by.

It's the weekend

Well, what a change in the weather- me no likey: There is a bright side to the weekend though, our son has come for a weekend visit :)
Our niece is emigrating to Australia soon with her hubby and 2 boys and I have been working on a mini scrapbook for her to take with her. We will miss them so much. We don't see them very often but they are always in our thoughts. So, because of this there haven't been any cards made this week. Here are a a few I prepared earlier:

The first two are made with a SU stamp and a few bits of paper, ribbon and card candi. The image was coloured with promarkers.  The third card was made using a swirl, some prima flowers and a few others from my stash all placed on a raised and embossed card. I look forward to your comments.

A Few Cards

Here are just a few of the cards I've made over the last couple of weeks. The yellow one was for my SIL birthday, the other two are just for my stash

Weekend Retreat

Hello everyone, I redently had a wonderful 10 days. I went to Lanzerote for a week of sunshine at Easter - it was great to be warm instead of freezing cold! I came back on the Thursday evening and had to unpack my suitcase and then repack it straight away to go on a truly brilliant crafting retreat at Stoke By Nayland for 3 days. My friends and I passed away the hours scrapbooking and eating and drinking - it was hard but someone had to do it lol.

Many thanks to Mel, Jill and Helen from www.atripdownmemorylane.co.uk for all their hard work and also to the ladies who taught the classes.

Here is a picture of a few of them "at work" mmm.

Thanks for dropping by.

Pan Pastels

A couple of weeks ago I did a class at Pinnacle Crafts using this wonderful product. Here are the cards which I made from the scenes we created. I was quite pleased with the finished cards. I think the stamps are from Stampscapes UK.

Bits n bobs

This is my first post on my blog which I have started as I would like to join in with some of the card challenges. Like most crafters I find it difficult to throw the many leftovers away that I usually get after making a card or creating a scrapbook page. Here's a boys card I made from some of those scraps and some card candy.
