HAPPY NEW YEAR ......

to one and all.

Can't believe I've not been on since 18th November last year ! My bad !

I've just been tidying my craft room, putting Christmas away for a couple of months. And I looked at all the stamp sets and stamps that I've got, and thought I'm going to make a card a day and use a different stamp/set everyday.

Pop back later for a look at today's card. I'll post on here and on my facebook page Karen Elizabeth.

See you later

Wow where has ....

this month gone. Soon be Santa time.

Here's a card I made today for a lady whose been married since the summer but wanted a 1st Christmas card for her hubby. She wanted it to include a reference to being a mechanic.

I love this Lili of the valley snowy car, coloured with pencils and sansador. I used flock mixed with glamour dust for the snow. The paper is Craftwork cards Peppermint Forest. Love the colours in this.

The bolt and screws are from Stampin Up a good while ago. Not sure where the pliers and hammer came from, found them in my stash.

I've made a box envelope to go with it, waiting for the envelope glue to dry. Not sure that that has worked because it's the first time I've used it. Think I'll leave it until morning to see if it's ok.

On a none crafty note. Isn't Strictly getting good. Hard to call tonight. Sad to see Kate go, but glad Stacey is through for another week.
Who's your favourite ?

I'm off to do a bit more before I go and watch a bit of TV.

Thanks for dropping by.
See you soon

Thought I'd ......

enter a challenge for the first time in a very long time. So here goes.

I made this card for the challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches challenge where this week its
this sketch.

I created my card using Thirsty brush Bright border stamps and dies. I coloured it using Spectrum noir pencils and sansodor.
I decoupaged  a couple of flowers to add some depth and added black glitter to the middle of them. The rectangle is embossed using Swiss dots folder and then I chalked it. The sentiment is by Stampin up.
The card and ribbon are from my stash.




Thank you for taking a look at my little blog and my challenge card..

It's

quite chilly this morning, but according to the weather the temperature should rise to mid 20's by Wednesday. I do hope so.

Well Monday again, it soon comes around doesn't it ?

Not sure if anyone is actually seeing my posts. If you are give me a wave, drop me a follow  or a comment please. Just so I know that you're out there.

I've been stamping and colouring this morning. Do you want a  sneak peek ?

To Christmas or not to Christmas that is the question ....


Will finish later and let you see what I decided. Could be festive or did I change my mind ?

Off to get ready  for work see you later.
