Are you feeling Christmasy yet, I am because it's the Christmas fair at my church tomorrow and we've been getting ready for it all morning.
We will be going to the Lakes in Cumbria this year, I love this part of the world and the people are so friendly , it's so sad about the floods they must be in our thoughts and prayers.

The card with the christmas baubble is a lily boo image coloured with promarkers and stickles glitter.
The angel card is made using all papers and images from making cards magazine. I've followed , as best I could, the sketch on truely scrumptious.hope you like my festive makes. janex

A Winters Walk


I don't make alot of big cards , but this one is special, a Christmas card to my lovely husband. He is a dog walker although the westie should be two toy poodles. I had a wet and miserable dog walk today, rain rain rain!

This card is my entry for:
passion for promarkers, colours marsh green and burn't umber.
Simon says stamp, animal antic, well I'hve featured a dog on my sugar nellie stamp, westie and me and a reindeer stamp. The background papers are prints from cute companions christmas cd rom.
I've added stickles for glittery effect and the tartan paper is K&Co.

Good job I don't have to post this card. Happy crafting . janex

Glitter me silly in a Winter Wonderland




An hour ago it was black and poring with rain now the sun is shinning, not complaining mind!
The challenge on Cute card Thursday, is glitter me silly, to be honest its hard for me to resist the glitter anytime especially Christmas, for cards. The 2 cards here are both very glittery.
The winter house is for my own challenge By The Cute and Girly, this month the challenge is winter wonderland. There are 4 great prizes and the scrapbook prize is a set by nitwits, I have used joyful hearts for my card.Go over there and look at the wonderful inspiration the dt have provided.
My other card features one of the stamps from Sugar Nellie , I won, it's called Santa's letter, so cute and a good stamp for me as I'm married to a postie. I've followed the sketch on Friday Sketchers. I've coloured with promarkers and the glitter is stickles and glamour dust.

enjoy your weekend even though it maybe wet, good excuse to craft. janex

Be Good



A bit of a frustrating day, well morning I should say. Waiting for the postie, a package yippee is it my stamps, prize from the sugar bowl, oh no, yippee it's inks for my printer , great now I can use my craft cd's, oh no the magenta doesn't work!!!
Couple of phone calls later, sorted, I hope, and another wait for the postie.

AWinters Scene


It's grey damp and miserable today , so before my dog walking and house work I thought I'd make a card.
The challenge on A Spoon Full of Sugar is to create a card with a scene. So out came my little used brayer and my Lavinia tree stamps. I've added gold pealoffs and a jolly tartan ribbon. A real grown- up Christmas card, not my usual cutie ones.
hope your day is bright, happy crafting. janex
