Snake ATC

I have been going through some bits n pieces today and i have been making ATC's. i came across this little snake x stitched picture amongst my stuff, its perfect size for an ATC. i added it to a distressed ink background and added a few leaves that are brads. x

4 small Christmas cards

i did some decoupage the other day and left it to dry overnight, one isn't decoupage but the other 3 are. made into small 4x4 cards. nice and cute for putting in Christmas messages to friends and family x

4 ATC's - swapped

i am doing a swap with another crafter on facebook, its a random swap. i chose what i wanted off her and then it was agreed i would just send some random ones in exchange and these are what i came up with. x

Just for you

I made this just for you card yesterday but was unable to put it online last night as i went caving in the evening and didn't get home until 11.30 so was too tired. card made using backing papers, cute bear stamp(sorry don't know the make) ribbon, brads and yellow bows. x

I went to the shop this afternoon as I need to get a blush coloured promarker but they didn't have any however when does a crafter go into a craft shop and leave empty handed. Ok I spent a fair bit but worth it. I can't wait to get playing. X

Promarkers

the big question is - when is too many too many? this is my collection, hubby helped me put them into some sort of colour coordinating so its east to find what I'm looking for.
i just love my promarkers, perfect for colouring in the images to put onto my projects.

Flower ATC

I made this ATC today, i have been using up some scraps of paper and cardstock, found the green card was just the right size and then although the black was smaller its also good and great for layering. i added a few flowers to later and added a pink gem and a few sequin stars. x

Medallion all occasions card

Yesterday i had a play with some of my coloured in stamped images, i came across this lovely medallion image so thought i would have a go at making a card with this. i used purple card stock for the background as well as blue, the heart corners were made using a craft punch, unfortunately i don't know the make. The image is coloured in using promarkers. i left a sentiment off so i can use it for any occasion x

Fairy cakes

Yesterday we decided to have a "cheat" day on our diet so i made some fairy cakes. only made a small batch though as i knew the more i made the more would be eaten. i had a batch of 12 by using 4oz of flour, 4oz of margarine, 4oz od sugar and 2 eggs. also put a cherry in the middle of eack one. they were yummy. x

New craft stash :)

I was running out of double sided tape so decided to take a trip into town to see if poundland was open. happily it was so i went and got loads of tape (27 rolls!). I should have enough to last the lockdown period. it felt really weird being in town as it was almost deserted i also l wanted a trip to garners garden and craft centre and ended up spending about £70. treated myself to peel offs, stamps, card blanks and envelopes, washi tape, cello bags, paper flowers, distressed oxide spray, bows, decoupage sheets, paper pad and a new craft knife. cant wait to play tomorrow x

ATC - sunset

There is a new challenge over on the ATC - UK page over on Facebook, the theme is sunsets. i had no idea what to do for this challenge to start with but once i had an idea it was easy and fun. i did a sunset background out of distressed ink and then i also used a magnolia stamp for the main part of the ATC. I tried to make the grass green which i did before adding the girl. i think it went quite well. x

Baking today - cakes and scones

 we have a friend staying with us at the moment and he is moving tomorrow so its going to be busy tomorrow moving everything. i thought we could do with some snacks on the day whilst on the move so i made some white chocolate chip cupcakes and some fruit scones. both of which have been sampled and they are lovely, hardest thing is probably only letting hubby have a certain amount or there wont be many left for tomorrow lol. x

Heart card - x stitch

for the past week or so i have been working on this piece of art. its a x stitched card made for someone special for all the help support they have given me recently. its the first x stitch i have done in at least 5 years so took longer than expected as I'm a bit rusty. enjoyed making it and look forward to my next project. x
