Anniversary Toppers!!!

Hi there
Here is one of the toppers I have been working on this week for anniversary cards.
I have killed two birds with one stone by making these.......used up a small stash of assorted handmade paper that I have had for years and am no longer fond of and having made ten of them it has given me a good stash of cards for the local shop.
I have put five together as cards and the others I shall keep hold of as there are bound to be special orders for them with special dates etc wanted on them.

Short post today.......it's been a bit quiet at the shop due to the weather so I got my prep done for the class in the morning which freed me up to do some tidying in my room. Pretty boring stuff....lol!!!

Think I'll play a game on the computer for a while and then get off to bed.
Thanks for dropping by.

Hiding The Grey!!!

Sorry I don't have a card for you tonight but I have spent the evening being pampered by DD. She has trimmed my hair and coloured it for me as it was long overdue for both. So I am now all bright and shiny again.
I will be back on track tomorrow.
Thanks for dropping by.

Snowfall!!!

Back to work tomorrow and once again I don't seem to have had anywhere near enough time to get all the stamping and cards done that I wanted to. Still, there was time enough to get this card sorted out for the class tomorrow.
This is Shrink Plastic which is something I can take or leave but I don't mind a dabble now and again.
The stamps are from Inkadinkado again........sorry but I have about thirty of their sets.....lol!!!
I used StazOn Azure onto clear unsanded SP and let it dry for a couple of minutes before cutting out.
The snow drift was stamped in Winter Wonderland onto blue pearl card for a lovely crisp snowy feel and then other texture was added with gems and Frosted Lace Stickles.
The side panel is stamped and embossed with the same powder then I went over the whole panel with Versamark and lightly sprinkled EP and reheated for a blizzard effect. I may add ribbon and a greeting tag to this panel once it is fully dry as it is for a class but for myself I would put a greeting inside rather than out.

Off for a bath and a read before I go and pack my bag for work.
Thanks for dropping by.

Another Vintage Post Today!!!

Today's post is over at my other blog..........HERE

The garden centre was a bit wet and windy this morning but hubby got his tree. He chose a beautiful blue pine.
I had a wander around Hobby Craft for a few minutes and then as the weather was so horrible we decided to make for home and have dinner earlier than planned.
On the way back we stopped at Tesco and I needed to go in and pick up a couple of things. Found myself in the baby clothes department drooling over tiny shoes and teeny tiny t shirts....lol!!!
This afternoon I have been doing hand made embellishments for some anniversary cards and now I am off to watch a film with DD as hubby has gone off to bed.
Thanks for your visit today.

Wassail!!!

Another card to add to the 'quick and easy' pile for workshops.
Paper is Basic Grey Wassail and I think this particular design is called Sleigh Ride...sorry forgot to check. I used the reverse to stamp the image from a set of Inkadinkado stamps and it is just very simply embossed in gold.
Added some lace and ribbon along with a punched Poinsettia.

Not been up in my room much for the last couple of days as I started with a migraine yesterday afternoon......after not having one for several weeks. It's still lurking now but is much better than it was.
DD and DIL came for their tea tonight so most of today was spent flicking a duster about and cooking.
We've seen another scan photo of our baby Bean and I am getting quite excited although we have a long way to go yet.....lol!!!
Later today (Sunday) I will be off to the garden centre at Bridgemere with hubby. We ended up buying him a gift voucher for Father's Day so he is going to chose a tree.
Hopefully after that I will be able to get something done.

Thanks for your visit.
Bye for now.
