Mojo Monday 279



 



Hi... Inspiration for this card came from the sketch over at Mojo Monday - 279...  Great sketch... sorry the picture is abit rubbish... I used all things from my scrapbox... I love it when I do that!

 

I have also been making scrapbook pages... using some old photo's I found in a package with stuff I didn't know I still had... I love doing that too.  I found lots of trinkets that I had obviously put away for keepsakes, my mum must have given me the box and I hadn't look in it. 

 

 

And... I have even made a Christmas card... thats five I have now... ooh!!!!!  Also used stuff from the scrapbox...

 

Seriouly need to have a flower making session... and a die cutting session... hopefully this afternoon. Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hugs

Sketch N Stash 105

 

Hi,

The card I have to share today was inspired by the challenge at Sketch N Stash 105.  I know it's not really vintage, but I like the sketch and I like to make my cards to fit the people I am sending to... which is what I have done.  I am pleased to say that I used old stash (The paper in the background and the flowers, these came with a kit I bought from QVC years ago and were actually forgotten in a box at the back of my cupboard).  I also used new stash... my mum got me some Kanban images for cards for christmas and that is where the card and sentiment came from too).  The sketch was fun to work with and I am sending it to a friend of mine who loves cupcakes...



 

 

I have also made another scrapbook LO.  This was inspired by a link I found but lost it... don't you just hate it when you do that????!!!!!  If I do find it again I will add it in... They had a wonderful sketch that inspired me to use some squares I had made using a Martha Stewart Punch set I have ages ago and didn't use...  The photo was taken on a day out at Cannock Chase... I love to take the children there because I spent so much time there as a child myself...  There is just so much to see and do there we all love it...

 





 

 

Here is my finished scarf ... very difficult to photograph a scarf... I am very pleased with it it is very warm.  I don't really have the patience for knitting... I tend to get bored half way through... luckily this didn't take too long... and I am glad to use up the wool.  I have had it for quite a while... now I need to find something to knit or crochet to use the rest of what is in the baskets!!!!!

Still have cards to make... hope you are finding time to craft and keep warm.

Mojo Monday 277

Hi,

Today the sun is shining... isn't is it amazing how when the sun is shining you feel so much better about everything?  Well I do anyway... easily pleased, eh?  I hope you weren't too affected by the snow... we haven't had much here really... being by the coast and all that, much to my childrens dismay, we seem to not get alot of snow. 

I have been playing... I suddenly seem to need quite a few cards all at once... this one was inspired by Mojo Monday's Sketch 277.  Really was fun to play along.  I am very pleased with this card and I think it really suits the person I am sending it to.

 

 

I have a scrapbook LO to finish that I started yesterday, so this is short and sweet.  I also been knitting a scarf, just need to finish off the ends so I will be back tomorrow with pictures.  I'm not the best or the faster knitter in the world, but I have actually enjoyed myself.

Keep warm and smile at the sun... might encourage it to shine more (my Nan always used to say that when I was little!!!).

Happy New Year...

Happy New Year...  Hope you had happy holidays...  I love that Christmas and New Year is all about family for us...  and we had a great time.  Now, of course, we are all back to normal... OH has gone fishing (yes, I know it's raining... it always rains when Steve goes fishing!)... Kids are back at school and I am back crafting... My offerings today are a card that was inspired by a sketch from Mojo Monday #275 and a pile of scraps... I wanted to put a happy anniversary greeting on it but could not find one!!!

My next offering today is a scrapbook page... I know I am the most shocked, believe me... I just had an urge to scrapbook... My inspiration for this one also came from a sketch on Scrapville; December/January sketch, which was really fun to play with...  I wanted to keep it quite simple keeping the focus on my adorable baby!

 

 

Well, thats it for today on here, if I manage any more I will be back on tomorrow to show you how well I played...  Take care

Hugs

Hi,

Hope you are having a lovely weekend...  and keeping warm... it has gone really quite cold all of a sudden! 

My card today is a Christmas one... inspiration came from the sketch over at Mojo Monday # 264... enjoyed playing very much... have also spent alot of time cutting out flowers and snowflakes ready to get cracking on my cards for Christmas... doubt I will make my original target for finishing them but am going to get stuck in this week...

 

I have actually been making lots of lists and sorting out what I need to do and buy and in what order.  My Christmas planner is busy busy busy...  children are off this week, so am going to get them crafting too.  And theres the Christmas cake to bake too...

Take care

Sketch Saturday #229

Hi,

Aren't I doing well this weekend.... My inspiration today came from Sketch Saturdays lovely sketch #229... there are some lovely example cards over there, it is well worth a visit... I used some papers from an old DCWV pad that I have about a third of left... lovely colours...

 

We have had a nice sunday... went to my Mum's for dinner which was lovely and makes me feel abit spoilt, not having to cook.  We are planning a joint crafting session soon, we haven't done it for ages and it's always fun... so long as the kids are sorted with something to do, of course!

Hope you have had a lovely weekend.
Take care
Hugs

Sketch N Stash - Challenge 98

Hi...

Wow... back so soon... blimey, I can't believe I've actually made  another one in one week... I am doing well!  for me that is!!!

Today's card was inspired by a lovely sketch over at Sketch N Stash - challenge 98...  My old stash that I am using is a small paper pad that I have had for a couple of years and yes... there are some peel offs on there.  Thats the thing about doing out the crafting stuff, you even find the stuff you thought you would never use and I was determined to put peel offs on this one!!!!!  I am actually quite pleased with the results!

 

I really want to get stuck into my Christmas crafting... I am already plotting certain types of gifts for certain people so that I can make fancy bags and boxes!!!  I actually sat down with my Christmas Planner (which I am so glad to say I made in January before I lost sight of my Christmas crafting stash) and have made some very useful lists today!  Of course, I am trying to keep it low key or the kids will start making Christmas list now that will end up the size of the argos catalogue and my OH will think I've gone completely mad... he is one of these odd folk that litterally leaves all his gift buying until Christmas Eve, runs around as I stay home and bake cookies or something with the kids and have a calm day, and then he falls asleep before the kids because he is worn out after a rather rushed visit to his mum's and a pint in the pub!!!!  Leaving me to get everything ready for Christmas day on my own... hence why I like to be so organised... plus all my family live in Staffordshire and I like to deliver the presents a couple of weekends before Christmas (weather depending).  It's nice actually because the children, my mum and myself have a lovely Christmassy weekend with the relatives and friends and Daddy gets to work!!!! ha!  He really does think that Christmas only needs one day to prepare for!!!!

Enough of that... off to play with paper...
Have a lovely weekend...
Hugs
Kim
