Lovely Morning Crafting

 Hi everybody

I went over to my crafty friend Rachel’s yesterday morning for a catch up and play as I still don’t have much in the way of stamps, ink or embossing folders yet Rachel is kind enough to let me use her stuff for which I am so grateful.

I bought this stamp at the Exeter craft extravaganza in September and thought I would use it to make this card very simple card to make think the stamp is a woodware one I added some glitter to make the flowers pop.

I am busy until Tuesday as tomorrow morning going over to a friends house to give her computer lessons, in the afternoon I have my sewing group.  So will catch up with you all probably Monday evening.

Leaving Card

 Afternoon Everybody

I think I have caught up with all your lovely blogs if not I will do so tomorrow.   I am off out later this afternoon.  Sarah our youngest daughter wanted to do a beginners sewing course and didn't want to go on her own so she booked me in as well not that I need it but you never know might pick up some hints and tips.

I made a leaving card as Sarah sells my cards at work and thought that a couple of these may sell as people come and go, I found a couple of house mouse cd's that I bought years ago so thought I would use them so this is what I came up with.

Am off for lunch just now but will catch up with you all again tomorrow

Love Alison 

 

Christmas scene

 Afternoon Everybody

Its been a housework day here in Devon, dusting, hoovering, even tidying my craft area lol.  I then came out to make a card wanted to push myself into doing something a bit different, I don't have a lot of crafting supplies but will get there eventually so I have to make do with what I have to hand.

I bought this image from Polkadoodles, I do so love their images.  I have come up with this

I was going through my computer files and finally found my watermark from years ago which the lovely Annie made for me many years ago and although I got rid of all my stash I kept all my computer files with images etc on an external hard drive so am able to use all the digi stamps I bought years ago.  

Sorry waffling.   Well that's it for now will catch up with everybody soon.
