Hopeful Thoughts

I can't believe it's Friday evening - where has this week gone!

I've only managed one card this week and here it is.

It's a sympathy card for a SU customer whose son

sadly died this week. It's also the first card I've made using

the new stamp set Hopeful Thoughts.

What a lovely set! I've teamed Night of Navy with

Sahara Sand - both card and ink. I just love this colour combo.

I've also used the new Night of Navy Striped Ribbon and the Basic Pearls.

Here is the arty farty angle.

Have a good weekend

Another Gift Bag

I had a lovely afternoon yesterday with a very select goup of friends

at our monthly Monday afternoon card class. Thanks to you all!

We made a Gift Bag, this time in Whisper White card and using

Basic Black and Real Red ink. We used the Serene Snowflakes and

Delightful Decoration stamp sets along with the Ornament punch.

Finished off with the free roll of Real Red Polka Dot Ribbon from one of

the Bundle Up for Christmas offers - details at the top!

That's all for now

Yet Another Dasher!!!

Tomorrow or today (depending when you are reading this cos it's late Sunday!)

is another card class so another Dasher card!!!

This time I've used Whisper White, Basic Black and Bashful Blue card.

The tree is from Lovely as a Tree and is stamped in Basic Grey

second impression and I've used a Basic Grey maker to draw the ground!

Dasher is stamped in Basic Black with Basic Rhinestone Jewels in

his antlers. Merry Christmas is from Season of Joy set and it's

finished off with Basic Black Satin Ribbon and another Jewel.

I'm not making another Dasher card this year - promise!!!

Night night

Delightfully Decorated Gift Box!

The table is all set out ready for tonight's Craft Club and cleaning done

so I've just time to post this!

Here is a gift box we will be making tonight (there is also a card

to accompany it - more of that tomorrow!)

I've used Crumb Cake and Whisper White card, Real Red ink and the

background stamp is from the Serene Snowflake set.

The Delightful Decoration stamp set and the Ornament punch used are

one of the Christmas Bundle options and the Real Red Ribbon (plain one

side and polka dot the other) is the free roll that came with the "bundle"!

This is a fabulous offer available until 29th December - see

the top posting for details.

Here is the arty farty angle!

Hope you all have a good evening

Dasher in the Snow II

What a miserable day - cold, wet and windy here in Luddenden!

I've made this card ready for Thursday's craft club.

It is very similar to the one I made with the ladies of Edwick

the week before last. This time I've used Whisper White and Night of Navy

card and ink, Marina Mist card, Dasher and the snowflakes from the Confetti

stamp set and finished off with Organza Ribbon and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

The UPS man has just made a delivery so I'm off to open my goodies!

Just For You Calendar

I can't believe it's 5 days since I last did a posting - sorry!!!

The thing is I can't think why not or what it is that has prevented

me from doing so. Mind you I have at last shifted the ironing pile!!!

Anyway here I am now!!!

On Thursday evening the Oats Royd Mill Craft Club meets officially

for the first time and here is one of the projects we will be making.

I've used Early Expresso and Whisper White card, one of the papers

from DPS Greenhouse Gala, Marina Mist ink and Satin Ribbon,

Oval All stamp set, the Oval, Scallop Oval and Scallop Edge Border punches.

Oh, and of course a small 2011 calendar!

And here is the arty farty angle!

All being well there will be another posting tomorrow
