More Christmas Cards!

These last few days I've been using my coloured images from Digistamps to make Christmas cards.  The images were coloured with Promarkers.  In most of  them I have coloured two of each image so I can do a bit of decoupage.  The images really are easy to re-size and to colour, especially with Promarkers!  A bit of glitter, ribbon and some background paper from my HUGE stash, and of course, snowflakes and some gems, the cards are done!

Here are some the cards I have made with the digistamps.

Yesterday I stamped numerous designs ready to colour while watching the TV in the evening, crafting just never stops.  Less than two weeks to School fair, so this is when the panic sets in!

Glittering Baubles!

A quick update on what I've been up to tonight.  I've been busy glittering baubles for the School Christmas Fair on the 2nd December.  I bought the ready to decorate glass baubles from Panduro and they were a pretty good price!

I have the most fabulous collection of fine glitters, so have plenty to choose from.  I've used the opaque, hologram and pearlescent glitters, I didn't think the translucent ones would be quite right.

Here are are some I have done so far!  Lots of more to do - the floor is sparkling all over!!

And here's my collection of glitters I have to choose from!

Will try to get blog over the weekend!





My Craft Space

Thought I would share my craft area and storage with you after having shared it with QVC Craft on Facebook last week when everybody was showing off where they craft.

I don't have a craft room unfortunately, maybe some day, so in the meantime, my storage comes in these glorious storage units from The Really Useful Products Ltd.  I'm in and out of the cupboard like a yo-yo!

 

... and this is where I craft!  The kitchen table.  Not much meals are eaten here, especially during the lead-up to Christmas, it's all glitter and snowflakes from now until then!

I have made 130 Christmas cards now, planning on lots, lots more!

Today, I popped along to The Papeterie to watch Kath and Debbie doing some wonderful demonstrattions.  I couldn't stay too long because other half needed the car to go golfing!!  Topped up on some paper/card stock and added a few promarkers to my collection.

Did you watch Big Brother last night??  I was really quite please with the result!  Tonight's X-factor was good even after a technical fault caused a late start, I was very confused when I switched over from Strictly to find X-factor auditions being shown!

I have just put a movie on, 'Despicable Me', should be fun, so signing out for today.







Tatty Ted

Not blogged for far too many days, been busy making lots and lots of Christmas cards,  117 I think now!  Only 3 weeks until School Fair, so nothing left but keep to keep making more (and some more on top of that)!

After this blog update, it will be time to watch the final of Big Brother, who will win??  You decide!

I have also been trying to update the Dyce Swimming Club website tonight, but having too much problems with having to 'recover webpage' messages, so I gave up and decided to update my blog instead, hopefully won't be having the same problems with the blog, technology!!  The wine I am drinking certainly helps with the stress of it all!!

Here are some of the cards I've made this week with Tatty Ted.

Snowflakes with everything as you can see!

Will try to pop down to The Papeterie tomorrow because the Fabulous Debbie and Kath are demonstrating their skills there in the morning.  Best have a tight hold of my purse strings while there!

Well, time for Big Brother, so must dash!

Frosty and Friends

Slowly, very slowly, getting through my Christmas cards!  Some days I just don't seem to get anywhere, I often just end up chasing my tail doing other things and I end up not getting any cards done.  That's just what happened tonight, had great plans for getting a few cards done but it's quarter to ten and not one card made!

I completed several cards recently using Frosty and Friends from Craftwork Cards and have posted photos of some of them below.

You'll notice I forgot that this one was meant to be a Polar Bear and I coloured him in as a teddy bear, never mind, he makes a cute bear too!

I used Promarkers to colour in the images.  Snowflakes from Martha Stewart punches.  I used Pinflair Ice Diamond on the ice-berg and it is really effective, great in shaker cards too!

I've now started on a load of Kanban Christmas products, I really need to get a shift on because I've got a stall at the School Christmas Fair on 2nd December!  I also need to get the inserts stuck inside the ones I've made, not enough hours in the day at the moment!  I am sure you can relate to that.

I've managed to colour in a load of images from Digistamps in preparation for putting them on cards, I do this while watching TV (Big Brother usually), very relaxing! 

Until next time ...
