Warm Winter Wishes

Hi all hope you are having a nice weekend. With the weekend off work I have had the opportunity to do some serious crafting. I love my Bootiful Occasions stamp set and was desperate to incorporate the winter boot into a christmas card, after several attempts of embossing the boot and colouring it in I was going to give it up as I just couldn't get it to look right. Then I made a batch of cards in cherry cobbler and very vanilla destined to have the snow globe embossed on them, but I gave the boot one more try and loved the result. Here is how they turned out:

I am really chuffed with these and since I have discovered the art of ambossing I can't stop!!! Hopefully there will be crafting on the agenda today I still have soooo many Christmas cards and tags I need to make!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day

Holly Berry Bouquet & Dasher Duet

I have the crafting bug at the moment and I am finding so much inspiration from Pinterest, Stumble Upon, In Love with Stamping and of course the new Stampin up brochures that I feel like I am trying to craft cram for the forth coming seasons. I adore summer and being outside on the allotment, but I do always look forward to being cosy indoors with the dining table covered in craft stash! Anyway I am waffling again, here is what I have been working on and I must say I love them (I know that is not very modest, but it is nice when an idea comes together).

I hope you like them as much as I do, feel free to leave a comment and thanks for stopping by. I will hopefully post pics of my Pumpkin collection later in "view from the gate" so pop back if you would like to see how they are all doing.

My First Christmas Card of 2012!

Sorry I know it is supposed to be June, but it feels more like October! I really wanted to have a go at the colourQ  challenge this week and my new dies lent them so well to a Christmas tree, so I just couldn't help myself. So here are the colours for this weeks challenge

And here is the card I came up with

I think everyone has made fathers day cards, but I always like to be different! Now all I have to do is try to link it to the site, I have never done one of these challenges before and looking at the instructions I think the biggest test is actually loading it on, but here goes!


Thanks for stopping by
