Happy New Year!

I'd like to wish you all a very Happy New Year, apologies for not being around, my life has been rather manic leading up to Christmas! However, things are now slowing down... yay is all I can say. 

I'd like to share a project that kept me quite busy just before Christmas. I'm so pleased with how it turned out, considering it's only the 3rd cross stitch I've ever done! The pattern is from Lili of the Valley and I was lucky enough to get it in the black Friday sale, oh and a few others went into my basket too... lol. So here it is, no challenges for this one, it's just for sharing.

I'll be back next week with my design team blog for Through the Craft Room Door - see you then.

So thank you for taking the time to visit and I hope 2022 brings you all everything you want or need (ie, lots of crafty bits... lol).

Hugs

AWOL

 Hi friends

Apologies for my absence. I had a lovely relaxing break in Spain and was pleased we came home when we did and missed out on the PCR test, but we did have to do a Lateral Flow Test once home and we were not allowed to use the NHS ones, we had to purchase them!

Anyway, I have nothing to share with you all today, but I have been busy creating Christmas crafts and other bits and I will share them with you once I have taken photos etc.

Have a great rest of the week and I'll be back over the weekend.

Showers of Tulips - Jan's Digi Stamps for TTCRD Design Team

Good evening friends and visitors

Today I am sharing my card for Through the Craft Room Door challenge and this week are sponsored by the amazing Jan's Digi Stamps, where you can win a $6 voucher for the store, there are so many to choose from. I had trouble choosing an image! So I look forward to seeing all your creations for this Anything Goes challenge. This will be our last challenge for this year.

So here is my card...

I decided to make another easel calendar card, but this time I twisted it and followed the following tutorial as I had never made one before! The tutorial by Ruth Hamilton and you can find it HERE, I didn't realise how easy they are to make! The image is precoloured called Sunshine of Tulips which you can purchase from HERE - I do like a nice tulip!

Thank you for taking the time to visit and I hope you will take the time to visit my team mates creations too. The team will be back in 2022.

Azalea Digi Stamp - Beccy's Place for Through the Craft Room Door Design Team

 Hello Friends

Today I am sharing my creation for the Through the Craft Room Door design team and this week we are sponsored by the amazing Beccy Muir from Beccy's Place where you can win AU$10 for her store, there are so many images to choose from. So I look forward to seeing your creations for this weeks Anything Goes challenge.

I had a lot of trouble choosing an image to use, so here is my creation...

I used the following to make this easel calendar card, I used Beccy's Place Azalea image which you can find here. To make the easel card I used a 6x6 card bland and just turned the top half in half, so easy, I coloured the image with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic card, the papers are from a very old paper pad by Basic Grey called Boxer, the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley. I got the calendars from The Range and everything else from my stash.

I hope to see you all join in with the challenge and see you all soon.

Stampendous - Snowy Postcard Stamp

Hello friends and visitors 

I hope everyone is having a good week? This will be my last post for just over a week as I'm off to Spain on Friday... woo hoo, (I do have a scheduled post for TTCRD design team.) Our first foreign trip since December 2019. I'm so looking forward to it, my partner and I need some time to relax before Christmas. I have a Christmas card to share with you, not much to it really, but I like it! So here it is...

I used a 6x6 card blank and the stamp I've had for years and is still one of my favourites. It's from Stampendous - Snowy Postcard Stamp, I stamped it with Memento ink pad- Lady Bug colour, the papers are from Craft Sensations - vintage style glitter pad, Make & Create sentiment stamp, ribbon and bling from stash.

Have a good week ahead and I'll see you soon.
