Twas the night before Christmas

Good afternoon blog surfers.

Just pinched a few minutes to write while Grandson is watching Toy Story 2 and before number one son arrives from Leeds on the train,

All parcels have been wrapped and we await Santa. We usually have a sack each under the tree,so this year I made special tags for everyone.

Hopefully there will be lots of crafting goodies under the tree for me and no disappointments for anyone.

I will enter them in the following challenges:-

Crafty Little Fairies:- Anything goes

Heck of a Challenge :- Colourful Christmas

Well have a good one everyone.

Merry Christmas

Santa

Afternoon folks. Back from the felting class. It was great fun if a little hard on my arms and shoulders. I didn't realize it was such a workout, hope the old ME doesn't flare up. Met some new people from all over the area and it only cost £7.50, what a bargain. I must have used that in materials. Hope Jackie will run a follow up class soon. She also makes glass jewelry and thought she might do a class on that also. Bring it on.

I managed a little bit of crafting last night so I can show a card today.

I just love this Sugar Nellie Santa stamp, he looks so jolly. The card shape is the same as Magnolia Birthday  but with a slight difference. The basic shape is made from a 90cm wide A4 white card strip, folded in the middle and the corners rounded off. The curve on the top is part of a Cheery Lynn doily die stuck between the base card and the red mount. The parcel paper is is mounted on red card and I used a circle punch to take away the corners. Santa is mounted on pads on a Sizzix Ornate Labels 2 die frame. Ribbon as always from the stash. Santa was coloured with Copics.

I will enter it in the Addicted to stamps challenge - Make your mark.

So that's all for today, bye and thanks for popping by.

Santa Tag

Evening all. Its been a lovely warm and sunny day down here but the nights are certainly drawing in. My wrist is still playing up, I think I hung out too much washing yesterday and today. I'm now trying to rest it. Does one finger typing count?

Well here is today's offering. It's not a card but it could be. While my left hand has been restricted I have been colouring in and this is one of my favourite Christmas stamps. It's a Santa from Sugar Nellie. 

The stars and tag have been stamped with a Papermania Christmas words stamp in Tim Holtz "Faded Jeans" and finished off with stickles. Santa is coloured using Copics. The ribbons etc are from the stash.

I shall enter it in these Challenges:-

Crafty Ribbons - Anything but a card
