In the office

 I used some more Gummiapan dies for this one…

Love all the tiny details…

I certainly don’t miss the days of commuting to London every day.

I’m lucky to live in a rural area, but it was an hour’s train journey each way back in the day.

Hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday.

Take care and see you soon

Musical blast …from the past

 Today has a musical theme….some cute dies from Gummiapan, and an Alex Siberia sentiment.

I used a subtle embossing folder to give the white card texture.

I coloured the guitar and cassette player with blend pens.

Can you see the tiny cassette tape?

I have most of my stamp sets on shelves, so I can look for certain details.

This is where I found the music notes!

Hope you’re having a good weekend

December Rudolph Day

 Hi there, hope this finds you well.

Rudolph day came and went, but there’s always a Christmas card to share, if you make them all year,

and the Rudolph Days Challenge lasts until the end of the month.

Here’s another I made with one of my favourite SU stamp sets, Yuletide Village 

Head over to Rudolph Days December Challenge

to see what others have made.

Take care and see you soon

Voucher wallets

 Hello, I hope you had a good Christmas.

I thought I’d pop by with a quick voucher/money pouch, for any occasion,

that uses up that lush paper you’ve been hoarding!

I took a sheet of much loved, retired SU paper, simply cut to width you need, plus allowance for glue/tape/wiggle room, cut to the length you need plus a bit extra x3, and score twice.

Fold to make the pouch. I cut a smidge off the flap, and round the corners.

I cut a tag to match, and tied some lush ribbon around it.

Have a good weekend

Take care and see you soon

Merry Christmas

 Just popping by to wish you a happy Christmas.

We shall be popping in to see Alan’s Mum this morning.

Since her husband died she prefers a quiet day.

It seems fitting to share again my late Mum's knitted Nativity.

Alan and I will enjoy a quiet day too, 

we also prefer that, 

we get together with friends and family on other days,

whereas my sisters are going out for their meal.

We’re all different, but that’s ok.

Whatever you do, be kind to yourself, and others.

Lots of Love

Winter Birdhouses

 I like to make my neighbours cards at Christmas,

this year I chose the Country Birdhouse dies with Nests of Winter DSP (SU)

All had extra sparkle with glitter paper and wink of Stella

There was a lot of die cutting, and fussy cutting involved,

here’s some of my snippets left overs…

I’m entering the following challenges:

Snippets Playground #496 (red card, second in the post)

Allsorts week 812/3 (blue card at the top of the post)

It can be a difficult time of year,

but whatever your circumstances take some time for yourself,

and I hope you have a peaceful Christmas.

You’re never alone in blogland, it’s always full of crafty friends 😃

Take care and see you soon
