Create a Scene at Allsorts

 Good Morning and welcome. 

Another festive make from me today to encourage you to join us at

Allsorts Challenge where the optional theme, chosen by Lynn is

Create a Scene

No, we don't mean have a tantrum, just something lovely to look at!! Of course you can always share Anything Goes too.

I am still in festive mode and created a pretty much white on white card with a little bit of green.

The embossed snow and the foliage at the top was made using a cut and emboss die from Crafters Companion that was still sealed in its' packet. I can't find it anywhere so it must be retired. Anyhow it gave me a really nice base and I ran a couple of DI pads over the greenery and then added some stickles. The snowy scene was made using a die set, again very old, that I staggered using pinflair glue gel (which shows through grrrrr!!). I coloured the trees with a green Sakura glitter pen and used a glue pen and glitter for a snowy effect. The sentiment was a magazine freebie.

Two prizes of Lavinia, one a collection of mini/small stamps with bottle sticker for scene making and three stamps as second prize (photos not to scale). Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.

Thank you to all those who wished me well. I am finally on the road to recovery, still a bit woozy at times but definitely much better. 

In case I am not here again this side of Christmas I would like to wish you all 

Good Health, Happiness and a Peaceful Christmas xx

Anything Christmassy at AYLI

Hello friends. It's new challenge day at

and it's Anything  Christmassy Goes

This last couple of years I have really enjoyed cross stitching again and have made quite a few projects. This is my latest FFO (fully finished object in cross stitch speak!!). The pattern is from Soda Stitch and called Merry Christmas. I used a mottled grey aida and threads from my stash, some called for and some alternatives that worked well.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to pay a visit. I have been dogged with ill health this past week so my good intentions to visit have been rather hindered. Migraine and vertigo were the culprits, A&E last weekend for an injection and a return visit to the GP yesterday. Hopefully the meds will sort me out now.

See you soon xx

 

Something New at Allsorts

Happy Saturday everyone and Happy December too. The countdown is on now!!

It's time for a new challenge at Allsorts today and Liz is in the driving seat and has chosen New as the optional theme, so Baby, Home etc. Anything Goes is also most welcome.

I took a step away from festive makes this time and made a New Home card to go in my stock box.

 The stamp had never seen ink and I have a sneaky suspicion that it's a Kanban set that I got in a little handbag type storage bag from shopping telly many, many ears ago. anyway, it stamped beautifully and I coloured it with Promarkers and chalked the sky, although it's not visible on the pic (I will put that down to my new telephone which I am still getting acquainted with!!). I used a couple of paper scraps for the background grass and sky and backed the image on black for a bit of oomph.

Two prizes, A4 and A5 stamp sets from AALL and Create 

Thank you for stopping by and once again I need to convey my apologies for not leaving many comments over the last few weeks. Life has a habit of getting in the way of my down time!!

See you soon xx
