WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER..DT

 Hello everyone, 

Having a wee break from Christmas cards for a DT project for Little Red Wagon  and our Kate is hostess this week with the theme..." White Lightening - anything weather related "

I went into my older files that suddenly appeared on my new PC after it lost all my Christmas card list addresses and such, just saying, and found this little darling from Miss Daisy stamps..

and coloured her up with my markers 

Cute little sentiments in two parts

and little die cut ducks..

Rain drops with glossy accents...squirt and flick, squirt and flick..!!

added to a card base with a few layers and done..

Pop over and join in with us HERE .

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll be back with another Christmas card tomorrow and it is a doozy.

CHRISTMAS CARD # 3

 Hello everyone,

Tuesday, Christmas card #3..this one a little busier but not hard..

I use up leftover papers and made a little pocket envelope..

All the papers for this one were Stamperia backgrounds  Library..( I think)

Cut up postage edge shapes and layered them up..

tags to fill the pockets on the front..

lovely green and red and snowy berries..

an old LOTV red rubber stamp sentiment...

DONE!!

I'm not liking my phone pictures sometimes, they look small and turn themselves, even if I save my editing the stupid things turn and I have to flip them when doing my posts, that's a little annoying..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

CHRISTMAS CARD # 2

 Hello everyone,

Today is the next day..( it isn't really, I scheduled a few posts ) and time for Christmas card # 2..

I printed out these neat gift digis from Farey Ink

and fussy cut them out..

and coloured them up with my markers..

made layers of card stock on top of my base, 

the top one is actually glitter card and shimmers in real life....

Ready to stack my gifts..

and I think this was the longest drying time in history, 

well, it felt like it when all I wanted to was get going..

A fabulous sentiment and brings back a lot of memories

 when my kids were young for the inside of the card...

another one for the outside cut with an oval tag die which I 

tied with string and attached the bow on the gift...

A nice easy one, a few gold half pearls and it was done..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

CHRISTMAS CARDS #1

 Hello everyone,

Christmas card time, I made a few. similar in style and colours, lots of die cutting and prep and a great time as the cards flowed one after another on that day.

I always have these cut up papers leftover from sets I buy..I sometimes love the pattern on the other side to cut these up, but the patter on the back of these was not that much chop, so I wondered why I had never used them....on this day, I did..

I cut blocks and individual..

Then added layers with music sheets and postage stamps

all trimmed up with a postage stamp  die.

I cut loads of this embellishment branch in green, and layered all

the red onto it, a lot of fun and easy..then splattered white paint over everything..

Gold sentiment die cut and half gold pearls..

DONE!!

Thank you so much for stopping by...

I'll see you tomorrow..

FAVOURITE CRITTER...DT

 Hello everyone,

It is time for a new challenge over at AS YOU LIKE IT and our Sarah is hostess this fortnight with the them.." YOUR FAVOURITE CRITTER "

Easy for me, my girl is my critter and my favourite of all time..and I needed a card last month for a friends birthday who has a cat ( Bella ) and Bella and Holly are computer friends.

This the photo of Holly I wanted to use and wanted to mimic those leaves in

front of her, the dried ones..

So I made these..

They were inked up and while wet squashed and left to dry inside paper towle.

When paper was opened they had natural wrinkles, just like mine, and were beautiful, just like me.

.ha ha ha

So I cut out stone shapes in gray card and a dirty brown card

, then inked their edges and I had stones..

I poked the leaves in between the stones and that was my border..

A simple hello die cut sentiment and lengthy message inside

and I was done..

It was received and loved, so that was good..

We are sponsored by Lawnfawn with a $25 voucher, thank you very much..

So do come and join us HERE and share you favourite critter,

 and don't forget to tell us why..

thank you so much for stopping by...

SWEET TREATS...DT

Herllo everyone,

Wednesday and that means.........................................................LITTLE RED WAGON  time, veery good, well done, you remembered, but more important, I remembered and our lovely Brenda is up this week and her them is " SWEET TREATS " - cup cakes, brownies, candy, anything sweet...mmmmm..sweets.

So I went with....cupcakes, I don't make good cupcakes, they go dry or are under cooked..

But paper ones are easy and fun and you can mix and match

 your colours and have a fabulous time..

I used up lots of scraps..

and made plenty of layers that shouldn't match but they did..

Even kept those tiny slithers off the edge, I'm sure I will use those up..

and I did.....

Time for the cupcakes, and here they are getting their sprinkles glued on.

And a hot pink Happy Birthday die cut..

which vanished " inside"  the papers..

So popped a black oval behind it and...boom.there it is.

And all done...

So come on over HERE and join in with any type of project you want...

as long as it has something sweet on it..not cute..sweet.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

BOXES,BOXES,BOXES

 Hello everyone,

My ( and your ) friend Janette sent me some serviettes to play with and these are the first I used..

You know by mow I love boxes, I play with them more than my cat, just cannot fit inside them so I covered them, make them pretty and they are all on display in my craftroom..

I always manage to find boxes...big ones, little ones even tiny ones..

I still cover them with this obsession of mine..

These are just beautiful ( Thank you again Janette )..

They have the one picture, not different corners of the same thing!!!

Did that make sense?

And here is the box..a lovely big wine box, thick and strong,

 no need to reinforce on the inside like most of them..

I think it only took two serviettes, so image on back and front

and wrapped at the sides..

Added a black label but nothing in it yet..

This is the back...

and on my top shelf..with others..

So there you go...

Thank you so much for stopping by,

see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx
