Atc Trail and snowed in!

Well its a cold and snowy day here today, the school is closed and the snow is still coming down heavily so we are in hibernation!

Been a while since I made any ATCs so I felt it was time I jumped back on the UKS atc trail, I do love ATCs its such a great size to work with :)



This is a pic of the view out our window earier, its snowed a few more inches since then but you get the idea, lol

Having a clear out!

I needed to make a wedding card this weekend and this is what I came up with, there are details on my other blog. Its been a bit hectic here over the holidays but I hope it will get back to normal soon.



As I need to make space for my new stamps I am having a bit of a clear out of some of my others that I do not use so much. Some were quite difficult to get hold of but have not had the use they deserve. my ebay items are here if anyone want a nose, I am also selling some Magnolias there.

Little Gift Sets

OK, its Christmas eve and yes I am still making Christmas presents! I thought I'd share a few I've made over the last few days in between trying to make the house fit for visitors and getting my kids back from their other grandparents through the blizzard conditions, lol, been a bit hectic here!

This set is for my gran, it includes a note book, 5 note cards an a fridge calendar.

I made a little box for it all to go in and I think it looks pretty good :) The sentiment stamps used are from {ippity}.

This set is for my Mum, she loves lime green so when I saw this paper in paperchase a while ago i had to get it to make something for her. This set is a diary, notebook and note cards.

Finally a larger notebook that I have made for my BF's Mum. She is cat mad so I used a dingbat to print a little cat on the pages and the cat on the cover is from the same font. No stamps for once - a minor miracle!


Here is hoping the recipients all like them :)

Off to start the Christmas rounds of relatives today and finish the cleaning (yuk), here is to a very happy Christmas!

Papertake Weekly Challenge 30

It is still snowing here in my corner semi-rural Hampshire!

Well I did it, a thank you card for the Landlord at the pub my BF works at. I used the sketch here and fiddled it around a bit. I don't like it much but it will do if I do not have time to make another. I have had these stamps for ages and never used them so at least they got out of the pack.

Stamps - Papermania
Sentiment - {ippity}

The Cookie Countdown!

I just had to share this link, I love cookies (and pretty much all food) so what could be better than a Christmas Cookie Countdown!? Just wish I had time to try them all out, might be a good job I can't though as there really would be no chance of fitting in my clothes by new year, lol!
