Playing with some stamps & halloween bag

Hi all,well it was rather wet and windy last night and that meant no trick or treaters so does anyone want a sweet.......lol. Anyway yesterday did a little playing with a magazine ( molly blooms christmas carnival )recommended by Sandra that i picked up in whsmiths on monday that came with some cute stamps and ended up making 6 mini simple christmas cards! So this is the finished first two cards (made them all the same)

stamped 1st image in rich cocoa brown & 2nd in black (preferred the black) and coloured with promarkers, used papers and greeting from the magazine.

magazine contents  ( lots of good ideas inside the mag )

Decorated a paper bag and filled with sweets for nephew

Thanks for popping by to visit and say hello and remember to take a sweet on the way out. Had a little play and have changed my blog background and have to say i love the leaves,have a good day all,x

WOYWW - the makings of a tag or two

Hi all,well isnt it dark outside and yesterday was so gloomy,hoping for some sunshine today but not holding my breathe....lol. Anyway on to the reason i am posting this photo today is to share my craft desk with you all and link in over at Stamping Ground where Julia is in charge of this world wide blog hop :)

So a different angle taken this week of my desk and you can see i am in the middle of making 12 christmas tags for a swop over at Docrafts. Now do you zoom in close or just take in the big picture when looking at the desk photos? i confess to being a zoomer as love to nosey peek at your desks! Hope to get around a few more blogs this week as for some reason someone stole a few hours of my time last wednesday!

Anyway have a good day all and i am off to link up with the WOYWW gang,x

Hubbys birthday card and one other

Hi all,well after my excitement of being a DT member over at StampnCraft i had to come down to earth and make two mens cards and to be honest they are not my favourite ones to make!

And my next card is a card for my cousins hubby so just a quick flat one as postage is riduculous these days!

My first DT card :)

Hi all,well the wait is over and i am now officially on my first day of being a Design Team member of StampnCraft....woo hoo and here is my first card,reckon maybe i should frame it and hang on my craft room wall.....lol.

Am very excited at being a DT member though hubby has now hidden his wallet :) Looking forward to using lots of exciting projects that Beth stocks and extending my reportoire and craft room! I like to try most things and have the claim to fame as the tidiest craft room. Well i enjoyed using the stamp set (Chocolate Baroque Harlequin Christmas) and playing with my distress inks.I stamped the image twice and then distressed the first one and then cut out the diamonds from the second image and applied distress inks again and then layered up using 3d pads.Added mirri card to give it a kick and one of my fave christmas sayings and used card and gems from my stash. Everything else was purchased in StampnCraft but shush dont tell hubby.....lol. Now dont forget to pop over to StampnCraft to see the fabulous cards Beth and the other DT members have made but i have a feeling i will be the first as everyone still in bed......lol
