Snowman tag

I wasn't going to do a card for Bah!Humbug! this week as I seem to be getting too many Christmas cards too early! I over made cards last year and have a lots left from then. Knowing what I'm like it will get to October/November and I'll suddenly decide I don't like the cards I,ve already made and make a load more! I have been making tags for various other things and so I suddenly thought I could just do a tag instead, it will probably end up on a card eventually or could just be a gift tag. I'm a bit disappointed with the scan as in real life its quite glittery and that doesn't show up. If you click to enlarge the image you can see some of the glitter !

Time Hanger

This is my entry for Tuesday Taggers which is TIME this week. I started out to make a card but ended up making a hanger instead. I made the background and then started to look for an image, decided to have a look through my little suitcase full of old photos (wasted a good hour in there !) This is a photo of my Father and two Aunts, on the back it says 1922 but that would mean my Dad being 12 years old and he certainly doesn't look that on this photo so think it must be a bit earlier than that.

Cute!

I seem to have lost all inspiration at the moment, have had several days when everything I tried to do ended up in the bin and I think this should probably have joined them ! I actually do have a few cute stamps even though I say I don't do cute, most of them are Penny Black Hedgehogs or sheep. Don't know why I continued to struggle on with this tag but having done it I am going to post it to Tag Tuesday and move on !

Write it on your heart

Theme Thursday challenge this week is flowers. I did not set out to make anything like this card but it just sort of evolved ! think the Valentine weekend must have got to me but I really liked it in the end. The image was in my stash and the papers are from the Papermania capsule collection, The stamped sentiment is from an old Stampin up set.

Round easel card

Thought I'd have a go at making a different shape easel card, I saw a round one on debbie dolphins blog which I really liked, so drew round a cd three times and made this, The papers are My Minds Eye and the stamp is a Sarah Kay belonging to a friend.

baby's first Christmas

The Winter Wonderland challenge this week is for Baby's first Christmas. My first reaction was no!

I don't go a bundle on baby stuff but then I found this image of a grumpy looking baby which really appealed to me, it looks a bit like I was feeling ! So here is my card. I think the image was on Art Freebies but I will have to go back and find it as I forgot to make a note.

Tag Tuesday

The theme for Tag Tuesday is Monogram, I chose this letter N to go on my Nature tag. The bird is from Birds Of A Feather plate from Artistic Outpost and the DP is some old Kay and Company of which I seem to have an awful lot !

Love makes The World Go Round

This is my card For Tuesday Taggers valentine theme where I was pleased to win a spot as a guest designer.

Holly

This is my card for the Bah Humbug challenge which is Holly this week

Pink & Black

A very simple atc for Theme Thursday "Pink & Black" image is from Trinkets&Treasures,wording from a Hampton Arts stamp. I thought pink and black would be an easy one but struggled to make anything . My next task is to try and work out how to do links to other blogs etc, I try to give credits when I use freebies but I would like to be able to put in a link.As I am a bit of a technophobic it takes me longer than most to find out how to work things!

Birds of A Feather

A couple of atcs using my new Artistic Outpost stamps. Must stop playing with them and finish making a birthday card for my husband, its his birthday tomorrow !

A touch of red

First Play with my new Artistic Outpost stamps,I am loving them ! I am totally in awe of the fantastic work shown on their site, it gives me inspiration but also makes me very aware of my own shortcomings, but hey! I am enjoying trying. This is my "Touch of Red" tag for Tag Tuesday.

January atcs

Seem to have made a bit of a mess of this post as I put them all on at once and now I can't work out how to put the names to the atcs. So just going to list them in order from the top:

1. Toby, 2.Rosemary.3 Maggie R. 4.Maggie C. 5. Linda. 6.Kath. 7. Joan W. 8.Joan H. 9. Edna. 10.Babs.

Candy Canes

Winter Wonderland challenge this week is candy canes /or red&white. Thought it would have to be red and white but while searching for some red & white striped paper I found this paper with candy canes on it, think it came in the goody bag from Embsey Crafts, then I remembered that along time ago my sister sent me a lovely Christmas card with a penguin and candy canes and because I liked it so much she sent me the stamp and a bag of candy canes ! after much digging and delving I found both and here is my card

Baubles

Bah! Humbug! challenge this week is Baubles.

I have had these bauble stamp images for ages,don't know who's stamp it was or when I did them,they were in my box of Christmas bits and pieces, coloured it with Blonde Moments pigments, its lovely and shiny and looks a lot nicer than it does on here,background is cuttlebug embossed.
