The Green Stuff!

Sitting here in the living room, everything smells wonderfully of the Christmas Tree which is glowing away bedecked with lights and baubles!
I treated myself to a couple of different shades of green inks from Lawn Fawn so I could use them with the Deck the Halls set, I'd never found the Tim Holtz Distress Inks had worked well with polymer stamps! i was really pleased with the quality of the stamped image and the shades of green and happily stamped out lots of fir boughs!
Again I used the Flirty Frames (so useful for everything!) and a reindeer for the new Penguin set!

Cuppa something Hot!

I love the Love you a Latte and the cookie Lawn Fawn sets! I kept the colours simple again, creating a snowy background with some of the snowflake stamps from the Deck the Halls set and embossed with white embossing powder. 

Loved the Flirty Frames set, great to sit any stamped image in!

Penguins in the Snow!

Not the chocolate penguins! Lawn Fawn's new set which has lots of cute little stamps to create a scene with trees, snowballs, a sled, reindeer and hats!

Again I kept the colour scheme simple and coloured it in using Spectrum Noir and Copic markers. This is entered in the Lawnscaping Christmas Challenge and the Simon Say Stamp Winter Challenge.

Festive Fun!

So Lawn Fawn released those cute new Christmas stamps and I indulged in the sheep and penguin sets! They were great fun to colour in and I actually didn't stress too much over creating the cards, tried to keep it simple!

Last one before we move!

After far too many delays we are finally moving to our new home tomorrow, Christmas Eve!

Here's another Christmas card I made using my new Lawn Fawn stamps.This is the first time I've coloured a Walrus so I built up the colour steadily then took out some colour using the Blending pen to give a textured, mottled appearance!

Lawn Fawn Critters in the Arctic and Love You Latte with Spectrum Noir pens.

I won't be online much as BT are unable to say when they can connect us to the internet - dreadful in this day and age but hey ho, lots of unpacking to do and hopefully some crafting!

Happy Crafting!

Fun weekend!

I have a lovely group of friends online that I've met through crafting forums and I am lucky enough to be able to meet up twice a year with one bunch of these like-minded loons!
We all meet up in gorgeous Derbyshire deep in the Peak District where we are fed and watered and have no responsibilities for a whole weekend, with nothing to do but natter and craft! It's a joy!
Can't tell you what a tonic it is to meet up with these wonderful ladies!
So I wasn't Bookscrapping this time as I decided to take my Spectrum Noir pens, paper and Lawn Fawn stamps and dies!

.....my lovely pens in all their glory, dwarfing my friends!

It's a bit pretty up here!

Big skies after a brisk morning walk up the hill with my pals...look I'm photographing my pal Ginge photographing me !!

Camera Phones at dawn! Argh she got me!!

View from our window...not too shabby!

Here's one of the cards I made using Sweater Weather and Critters at the Dog Park, love the expression on the Dachshund's face!

Trying to get crafting again!

With all the illness thing I must admit my mojo has gone and done a runner! I was lucky enough to be on the Bombshell Stamps Design team for several years but because I was mojo'less I stood down as I felt guilty for not pulling my weight.
I thought about what I wanted to make and figured I'd go in the opposite direction to the Bombshell Stamps style and decided to get some Lawn Fawn stamps. I love Kawaii and Amigurumi and the Lawn Fawn stamps are in that style and they have lovely co-ordinating dies to lessen the fussy cutting!
So here's what I've been making:

 My first lot of stamps and dies!

This is little fwog my first Lawn Fawn card, a bit wobbly getting back to colouring and designing a card!  Little Fox which I was more pleased with!

Cute Acorn and Pink Unicorn tag style cards. Gnome was fun, love his Toadstool home!

I love the Dragon but it was so difficult to match up papers with the teal I'd used- lesson learnt!

First time I'd used the Polaroid Die and the Critters at the Dog Park set, very sweet!

I guess I'm struggling at the moment or at least I feel as if I am. I KNEW how to work the Bombshell stamps as I'd used them so much over the years, whereas I have to LEARN how to use and get comfortable with the Lawn Fawn stamps- does that make sense?! At least I'm hoping this is the case cos I love colouring in and want to do justice to these cute stamps! Thank goodness for Lawn Fawn's wonderful Design Team and Pinterest board, loads of inspiration there!

Happy Crafting!

A Little Card!

Just a quick post as I've made something using my Lawn Fawn Stamps Critters at the Dog Park set!
Coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens and using the Say Cheese polaroid die (so cool!) love the attitude of this little Westie, so cute! I used various patterned papers and my Distress Inks.
