Good morning crafters, it’s very frosty here this morning and feels really quite wintry. Hopefully it will thaw and turn into a lovely sunny Autumn day and then I can do a bit of clearing in the garden.
I had to be up at 7.30am (yes, on a Sunday, that was a shock!) as we’ve got the decorators in so I’m trying to keep out of the way. I still have a cough, 5 weeks on I’m still not 100% and the dust is making me wheeze quite a lot. An hour in the garden and then the rest of the day crafting …just what the Dr ordered!
This is a card I made using one of the mini masterpiece sheets, they’re so great for a quick card and this one is James In The Snow - beautifully coloured and ready to use. This is also one of my favourite stamps, I do have a little soft spot for our James The Bear!
I’ve used the Frosty Christmas backing papers which has been the most popular of our 6 new pads.
The snowflakes are cut with a Marianne die and then sprinkled with some Aged White Frantage. I think I’ve got all the colours they do now and I’ve been using it a lot. The Stamp Man has had 20% off all the Stampendous products if you’re looking for it at a good price
The sentiment is a Christmas Grungy Message and the little tags are from the Christmas Mini Icon Tags
The white spiders web is available in our showroom but if you can’t get to visit us in Leeds then have a look on The Ribbon Girl as I think Mary will probably stock it
That’s it from me, enjoy the rest of your weekend
Gorgeous card I love James the bear and you have coloured him beautifully. The layout is fab. Hope your cough improves soon. Caroline xxx

ReplyDeleteAn hour in the garden, lucky you, I would have to get my swimming cozzy out to get to the bottom of my garden, lol! Hope it helps to get rid of your cough. This card is gorgeous, I love James & you have reminded me that I have some die cuts stashed away somewhere, so I'm off to dig them out!
