Christmas Wishes


So, I finally got to play with my new Sue Wilson snow globe dies. It took a bit of faffing about with to make the shaker but it worked out in the end. I used my new Altenew Christmas stamps for the scene - they've just been the best buy :-)

I used LOTV design papers - so blooming cross I didn't get more of these blue papers!

Not sure how many Christmas cards I've made but it's loads more than I had this time last year :-)

Thank you so much for popping by. Sending hugs, Jayne xx

Gnome place like Home ;-)

Aww, just loving the new Gnome ribbon collection from Crafty Ribbons! I teamed the super cute toadstool ribbon up with papers and a digi image from the NitWithollows collection from NitWit Collections. Love these fab papers - and get me faffing about with digi images!!!
I used a small piece of the gnome ribbon too :-)
I even added a tiny gnome and frog to the image.

Hope you're enjoying the week Thanks so much for stopping by. Hugs, Jayne xxx

Floral Thank You

As I mentioned in my last post, my thank you card making reached frantic levels! I made several in this style using the much loved LOTV art pads.


I teamed this beautiful image with the 'Romance and Roses' papers from NitWit Collections. Have to say I probably over use these papers because I just love them :-)

I hope that you're having a fabulous week. Thank you for stopping by. Hugs, Jayne x

Ooh La La!

Before I start - here is a link to the youtube tutorial for this card which also has a link to buy the template https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2gYdMPUvuA  The template is fairly self explanatory so I'm not sure you'll need the tut but I added it in case!!

I've been so busy these last few weeks that I have absolutely no idea where I am with my blog posts! So please excuse me over the next few days if I post something I've already posted!

As usual I left my teacher thank you cards to the last minute and then had a mad couple of days trying to get them done! This one was for the fabulous French teacher who is now retiring. She has been wonderful and my daughter has loved learning a new language.


Seriously, I do not recommend trying to make this in a hurry! I got in such a stew. The NitWit Collections 'Ooh La La' collection was just perfect for this. The little frame and image are also in the collection. All I needed to add was a bit of ribbon.
I loved making it - even though I was like a possessed woman on a mission! The French teacher loved it too, so I'm pleased I got it finished.

I also made a box because to be honest I didn't know how else to get it to school in one piece ;-)

So next year I'll start earlier with the thank you card making. Honest!!! Sending huge hugs, Jayne xxx

Pink and Girlie at Crafty Ribbons

Good morning! This week over at Crafty Ribbons we want to see Pink and Girlie cards. It was picked by the fabulous Lucy and is sure to be very popular. Seriously, pink AND girlie! What's not to love.
Apologies for the photo - must fiddle about with the camera again! The fab image is from Stamping Bella and the papers are from Craftwork Cards.

The pretty ribbon is the tulip and white organza polka dot ribbon from Crafty Ribbons found here.

I have to confess that the heat has been way too much for me and I'm hoping for cooler weather!

Hope that you can join us this week.  Hugs, Jayne xx

Not quite CAS

This was going to be a CAS card. Really it was. I'm not sure how it went quite so wrong. It was inspired by the All or Nothing challenge at In the Pink. Eventually then I went for 'All'!!!!!
I'm loving these My Besties images. I saw some colouring books advertised and I may just need to treat myself!

The beautiful papers are Butterfly Kisses from NitWit Collections.
She is just super fabulous :-)

I'm entering this into :

In The Pink - All or Nothing
My Besties UK - Anything Goes or Summertime
