Winter Wonderland Challenge and A ' Sorry'!!

Firstly, I must apologise for the lack of commenting.
I usually do it every day, but with the pressure of
doing 5 Craft Fayres already this month and
another on the 24th, tomorrow, I have 
a lot of stock to make for it.

It's great for my charity I support, that sales have been very good!!
But I do have a job keeping up with
the more intricate things I make.

I know......I can hear you saying, I should make more simple
things then!! Lol!!

Well this card is a simple one! The sweet image is from 
our generous sponsor for this Winter Wonderland challenge.

The sponsor is
Twinkle Lane Designs
and this image is Skater Girl and can be found here.

She is coloured with Copics and Stickles .

Along with the Girl image, you also get 3 pairs of mittens.

I coloured them with Copics and then cut them out.

Also 3 sentiments too, one of which I used.

Well it's up to you now to win a lovely prize,

from our generous Sponsor.

Just enter your card and I suggest that you 

read the challenge rules, on the Winter Wonderland blog first.

Thanks for popping in and good luck.

Big Hugs

Birthday Poppy

Just a quick post tonight.

I cannot understand why I have so many summer flowers, 

still giving a colourful display!!  Crazy!!

Even my Acer has only just started to drop a few leaves.

This card was for a friend who is in her 90s.

She loved it and I enjoyed making it.

I have my friend, who is the Daughter-in-law of the lady

who this card was for, is coming up to stay with us

for a couple of days. 

She is coming to get her highlights and haircut done! 

It will be great to see her and we will have a girly day out,

on Thursday.

Thanks for popping in and thank you for leaving me such

lovely messages. 

Hope you are enjoying this mild weather too.

Hugs,

Carol

Silver and Blue

Morning, 

and I hope you have changed all your clocks!!

Why is the oven always the hardest to do?!!

Just a quick post, as I must get back

to my desk! More items to make for my Craft Fairs.

There are so many ideas in my head but not sure if I 

have the time left to make all of them!!

This is one of my new makes.

I love Silver and pale icy blue, as they blend so well.

The huge bead hanging in the middle, I found in my stash.

One of my lovely friends, saves things for me

that she thinks I can find a use for.

This was one of 5 of them!

So thanks Aileen!! Perfect!!

Enjoy the rest of Sunday.

Thanks for your lovely messages on my last post.

Hope you are going to join us at 

Winter Wonderland challenge.

Thanks for popping in and looking 

forward to reading your kind comments.

PS: Aileen and her Mother-in-law saw this

post and ordered a wreath the same as this one!!

Big hugs,

Winter Wonderland Challenge

Hi everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at 

Winter Wonderland.

The theme is 'Colour It'.

As always, Christmas cards only.

There isn't a Sponsor for this challenge

but we will still be picking our top three.

They will get our Top 3 badge to display

on their blog.

I have used one of the new stamps from 

Lili of The Valley.

She is on the stamp sheet 

'Sweet Christmas'.

You even get an additional stamp for the

candle and holly.

I stamped and coloured it and fussy cut it

out, then 3D it onto the main image.

I coloured her with Distress Inks on 300gsm Water Colour card.

So get ahead with your Christmas card making and 

have a bit of fun with us here,

at Winter Wonderland.

Thanks for popping in and I will be commenting

on your makes too.

Big hugs,

Carol

Christmas Fave!!

Evening all!!

Can't remember who always said that!!

Anyway a very short post, as I am snowman making!!

I have made one family this afternoon.

If you saw my facebook page, you would know

that I did 3 Craft Fairs last month and one already

this month and I sold all of my Snow Families!!

So, as I have another 11 fairs before Christmas, 

I thought I had better get some more made.

This pretty little lady below, is certainly one of my 

favourite stamps from Lili Of The Valley this year.

I stamped her onto water colour 300gsm

card and used Distress Inks to colour her.

I had made cards with all the new ones I bought 

and one couple bought them all! So I will have to find time 

to make more of them too!!

Does anyone know where I apply to have longer days than 24 hours?!!!

Well that's all the time I have, so back to my desk.

Thanks for popping in and please leave me a message, 

so I know you have been.

They are all read and treasured.

Big hugs,

Carol

Winter Wonderland Challenge

Hi everybody,

we have a new challenge starting today, 

at Winter Wonderland.

An easy theme:

Anything Christmas Goes

We have a lovely Sponsor, LeAnn's World 101

 for this challenge, who kindly gave us this image to use.

I coloured her with Copics Pens and Red Stickles.

The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

The winner will have 2 free Digis from

LeAnn's World.

So now you can pop over to LeAnn's shop and

 see what you can have if you are the winner.

You have 2 weeks to upload your cards to 

the Winter Wonderland blog.

So good luck.

Big hugs,

Carol

A Touch Of Gold

Just a quick simple card.

As always it looks better in RL.

The bauble was a stamp I picked up at Thetford Craft Show.

 I stamped the bauble twice and 3D it and

coloured it with Copics.

It's a shame that pictures don't look anything like they

do in real life.

I don't know if it's the camera, daylight or position

of where you take the photos.

Never mind and I won't moan anymore!!Lol!!

Thanks for stopping by and I do enjoy reading your comments.

Big hugs

A Growing Family

It had to be done!!

They now have 2 little Snow People.

They have left their snowballs sitting on the letter 'L'!!

The strange colour on the letters is actually shadows.

They will all be going to Cherry Lane Garden Centre at Fritton,

near Great Yarmouth, on this Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd.

Their first outing to a Craft Fayre.

If you are in the area, you can pop in and see us.

The restaurant is very good too.

I've made lots of hanging Christmas Decs today.

It's always more enjoyable to make new things.

I will take some pictures tomorrow and will 

post them soon.

I have never had so many in 'Draft' as I have now!

Thanks for taking the time to visit and

just leave me a message so I know you have been.

Big hugs,

Carol

A Christmas Sunset

Thanks for popping in.

I have just made this very quick card and thought

I would post it before going to my bed!

It only took 3 dies to make it. With a bit

of scrap card, coloured with Distress Inks,

for the sunset.

I did add the faux stitching with a white Sakura pen.

I have been doing loads more posts and 

they are in 'Draft' at the moment.

I did say a quick one, so off to bed!

Thanks for your lovely messages on my last post

of my Snow People.

There just might be another one of them to post!!

Big hugs,

Carol

The Snow Neighbours!!

This couple live in the next door igloo,

to the snow people on my last post!!

They have different hats and these were rather 

more difficult to make!

I must have done each one 4 or 5 times, 

before they looked right. 

They have a coating of Spectrum Noir

glitter pen on, their hats and scarves.

Not that you can see it!!

Thanks for stopping by and I love to read your lovely messages.

They are much appreciated.

Have a lovely weekend. It's supposed to be sunny and warm here

on Sunday. I don't like the cold and even put the heating 

on last night and again tonight!

Big hugs,

Carol
