Treats for the reindeer!!

 Hello everyone. it's been a while hasn't it!? I hope you all had a peaceful Christmas and I am sincerely Wishing you good health and brighter days ahead in 2021!! After a personally difficult  last year I was pretty optimistic about the New Year...what a start though!!

I haven't had chance to do very much crafting over the festive period but at the weekend had a little mooch to see what inspired me and am taking these bags of reindeer food along to a couple of Christmas challenges!!

I made some of these a few years ago and actually mislaid the stamp set. I was delighted to rediscover it while I was looking through my fabric!! It is a set from Alley Way Stamps and I can't even remember where I bought them from. I have a sneaking suspicion it may have been from Kitty at My Mum's Craft Shop, remember that?! 

The deer were stamped and coloured with Promarkers and I added Tonic glitter drops for the noses. The verse is part of the set that was stamped on to Daisy Mae Designs Arch Dies that made perfect tags. Of course it's not real reindeer food, it's bird seed but the littleys didn't know that!!

I am joining in here

So, that's me for today. I have several DT pieces in the pipe line but as we are now rolling out the Covid vaccine, I suspect my working life may just become a little more manic and that I shall disappear once more!!

Until next time, take care of yourselves xx

Family or Friends

 Hello friends thank you for stopping by today where I am as pleased as punch to be sharing my inspiration for

We would love to see projects that you have made for friends or family, don't forget to tell us why.

I am very fortunate to work with a fabulous bunch of ladies and make them a different gift for Christmas each year. I have previously gifted hot chocolate bags, tree decorations and pocket tissue holders. This year I have made them Festive Face Coverings as seen on my glamorous assistant!!

 I have made myself quite a few during the pandemic

to co-ordinate with certain items of clothing and have used this tutorial every time. The prep takes far more time than the actual sewing and the results are always perfect.

I hope that you will manage to find some time to play along.

Keep well and see you soon xx

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

 Hello again!! More Cutie inspiration for you, this time

where we are saying "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and would love to see your Cutie Christmas cards inspired by a Christmas song or carol.

Mine is Frosty the Snowman

I used glitter paste through a snowflake stencil for the background that, on it's own, looked a little bit bare so I had a rummage through my die cuts and found a little house scene that was a freebie from Dies to Die For. The little snowman is from a Cats Pajamas set and was coloured with Promarkers.

While on the subject of Frosty, you may remember that I was planning to make sock snowmen, well here is the first!!

I was really pleased with the result, there are loads of tutorials on You Tube if you would like to have a go, it was really easy to do but be warned, you need LOTS of rice!! 

So, that is me for today. I hope this week will be a good one for you. Thak you for popping in to see me, your comments and support are much appreciated xx

White Christmas

 Happy Monday peeps!! It's a double whammy from me today with two Cutie visits.

I will kick off with 

where it's WHITE CHRISTMAS

I went with a CAS design and used an uninked stamp set from Crafters Companion.

I coloured, as usual, with my Promarkers using the package as inspiration. The lovely sentiment is from a very old Chocolate Baroque Christmas message set.

See you in a bit!! xx

Naughty List

Hello friends, hope you have had a good week. Mine has whooshed by and I expect yours has too.

I have a tall card to share today, it's my inspiration for

Our sponsor this time is Oddball Art and I used  Naughty List. I coloured her with my Promarkers used a printed Nitwits paper as a background.

I had some scraps of lime green mirror board so used them to frame the image and sentiment.

Hope you have a good weekend xx
