Sweet Stampin DT--On the Farm.

Hi Girls,

Saturday AGAIN...Can't believe it, where does the time go?
Stop the World, I want to get off!!

Today's Challenge over at Sweet Stampin is chosen by Team Mate Kobie and is "On the Farm". I have chosen one of our sponsor Pairie Fairy images, isn't this little duck sweet? I don't know if it is a boy or girl, but I think he looks like a BOY!!





I have used some Nit Wit cardstock, an EK success border punch and ribbon and pearls from my stash. The image is coloured with Pro-Markers, and I have used one of my favorite Nestie circles. The "What's up Doc" sentiment is pc generated.

Kiss, Kiss Sweetie~

Hi Girls,

I am going to be Missing In Action all of next week.

It's my week at the local school teaching Scrapbooking (cannot wait now), mind you I have a great hoard of stuff to take with me, I feel like taking my whole room....but know I can't do that, I would need a House Removal Van to get it all in. Lol

I had my Nana and Mum here for Dinner tonight, so not managed to do any crafting until now.
Earlier today I bought some lovely Christmas papers called Christmas Joy and I have used them on tonight's Christmas Card.






This image is a Digi, but I am really sorry I have forgotten who made it. I bought this image along with a few others quite a while ago and they are so nice to colour. I have used my Pro-Markers to colour this one. I have added some stickles to look like snow. I have handmade some bunting from the same papers.

Configeration Boxes~

Hi Girls,

Just thought I would share with you the presents I made for my friend Angie's Birthday and a surprise gift for my Son's Girlfriend.

They are the configuration Boxes by Tim Holtz. These are not the first boxes like this I have made, I love making them, I find them very therapeutic to do.





The only problem I have when making them is finding all the "Findings" to go inside.
I try to find lots of tiny little bottles, clocks, cotton reels etc. Tim does do quite a good range, but I try to look in other places too. I sometimes find old Christmas baubles as long as they are not too big. If you can see on the photo, the silver mirror type balls are tree ornaments!!






A couple of people have asked me the price to make these boxes, but I find them really expensive. The boxes themselves start at about £7 for the smallest one (they do lots of sizes, even huge ones) The boxes then have to be decorated with Tim's tissue tape and papers, ink etc. BUT the major costs are buying all the "Findings" that go in all the boxes, they can be up to £3 a piece! This can get quite pricey.
Up to now I have made all mine to give away as presents, so would only make them for this.

Hope you like them.

Tilda is off on her Holls!

Hiya Girls,

Another mixed day weather wise here, in the morning it was raining and the afternoon was nice, really humid too, I had all the windows open and a fan on!

I had a phone call this afternoon telling me the S.E.I Wedding papers I ordered in April had finally arrived (good job I was not in a hurry for them!!!) The order had been put back twice and at one time I was told I could no longer expect them. Out of the blue the shop rang and said If I still wanted them, they were finally here....
So now that means I will be making 60 Wedding Invitations for the next few weeks. I have chosen quite a complicated flower folded shape for them, but it does look very different and gorgeous made with these stunning papers, I will show you them when I get a few done.

Before I go off to watch my favorite film of all time (which has just started) GLADIATOR........(Oh Russel Crowe in a skirt, what more could a woman want!!)

I will show you what I have been upto tonight....




I have made a Tilda card. Not used a Tilda for ages, so when I saw this nice sketch over at MSL I thought I would give it a go.
The papers are all from my stash of leftovers, punch is one I bought on QVC ages ago (don't know the make, but they are lilac coloured), flower punch is NS and pearls are Hobbyhouse. I have used more of my iridescent sticky back paper, this time in pink. All coloured with Copic markers.

"C" is in the Air Again~

Hi Girls,
Hope you all had a nice Monday.
My hubby went back to work today after having a week off...Boo Hoo. I Love it when he is off work, and I missed him today.

Did lots of cleaning earlier, then helped my son pack for his holiday on Wednesday. He is off to Tunisia with his girlfriend and her family for two weeks, it will be quiet, I will do less cooking and the electricity metre will do less spinning while he is not here, but I will miss him!

I had a little time tonight to have a bit of a play with my new stamps.
It's another "C" (Christmas) card, and I really enjoyed making it.
I saw these stamps a couple of days ago on QVC and I just had to have them, I am so pleased with them. They are by Kanban, not really something I would normally have bought, but I just thought they were cute, there are about 6 different Teddy's all in Christmas poses.
I don't own very many Christmas Stamps, I have had a list of some I want to get over the next few weeks.



Sorry about the awful photo, it's caught the light abit, not very good here tonight.
Not sure if this next image is any better!!!!!




When I saw these cute bears I thought they were perfect, and they are quite a large image too. The cardstock I have used is 6x6 and I have used my largest nestie circle and scallop. The sentiment also came with the image.
The papers are Fizzy Moon, the snowflake and border punches are by MS and the shiny paper is from a pack of sticky back from the kids section in the "Range" it is very nice and comes in packs of 5 different iridescent A4 sheets, great when using a punch as the back just peels off.
The image is coloured with Pro-Markers.
