More Disney







Had a great morning - here are Mickey & Minnie to put on the bedroom doors. Also done a full snowwhite to make into a birthday card for my daughter's 3rd birthday, she took one look and said yuk!! Oh well that's what she's getting.

All Excited


I got my christmas present from my husband last night. A Cricut Expression! Got the Disney Happily Ever After Cart and Mickey & Friends. Had a quick play last night and made Snowwhite from the book. Think she has turned out quite well - bit fiddly and not sure about the eyes but I'm sure with practise it will get better. Going to do a Mickey & Minnie Head for the kids bedroom doors today. Then next project is a birthday card for my daughter - will be a disney princess!

Christmas is Coming







I've finally started making my Christmas Cards, really late this year - normally they are all done by this time. Have all the bits and pieces it's now a case of putting it all together. Here are the first ones I've made - the embossed tree idea I saw on UKS and have copied the idea, the other two are made using my sugar nellie stamps.

more birthdays




The end of the year seems to be a busy time of year for birthdays for our family. Must get a move on and get my cards made!




These are two I've made this week. Received my first parcel from joining a Stamping Up Stampers 10. This set will be great for those men who I never know what to do for. The card was made very quickly, but looks cute - will practise more to perfect the design!




It's my nephew's first birthday next week, so it will be a very special day for him. Made this lion card with one of the new Sugar Nellie stamps.

Halloween


Well - kids have enjoyed halloween this year, it seems to have gone on for days with parties on Wed, Thurs, Fri and 2 today. Had great intentions on what I was going to make for them this year, but time has dissappeared and only made 4 very quick halloween cards. Ordered two magnolia stamps - the vampire and witch with spider - unfortunately the witch was out of stock and hasn't arrived yet so will keep it for next year when it does arrive. Here's the card I did get around to making.

Christmas is coming




Finally got round to updating the blog - may try and put a few things on over the next few days.




Heres the advent boxes I've made - both my kids have quilted ones which I put little presents in, but they do love a chocolate so this is the solution. Each drawer has a dairy milk miniature in it.
