love Chris xx

I'm loving Angels!!

Don't you just love this angel stamp from inkadinkado, well it is one of my all time favourites and good for a quick card, I am also a big lover of the zutter I always think it turns a card into a very small gift.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to go out and post my last few things, I was going last Friday but the snow stopped all that, I feel trapped I need rain !!! i really shouldn't say that should I.

Birds and Branches

Hi guys, have you woken up to more snow this morning, well we have here which is such a nuisance this morning as I was going to a card class this afternoon, and then after the hero arts launch at Sir Stampalot, so lets hope the road clears. as much as I love to see the snow I don't like it when it gets in the way of those special days that you have planned.

Here's a card I prepared earlier using yes those good old Hero arts stamps which I LOVE,

can't wait to work on some new ones .

Have a nice day love chrisxx

Shrunk Stockings

Here's one I did a while back from a sketch that I saw on a blog somewhere, can't remember where. I have to say it is one of my favorite sketches ever. I thought I would show you as I think the background paper is like swirling snow, and very fitting for today as we have got at least 4''of the stuff. Not very good for taking photos as it seems very dull , yet I have tried.

bye girls have a happy day love chrisxx

Its just starting to snow again .

another snowfllake

Well that's the 2nd Christmas craft party I've been to cold stone sober, but hilarious(had to drive) I dressed up as Santa to everyones suprise and yes did all the ho ho ho 's and yet I received goodies. (thanks girls)

here's my card using my new years resolution and that is to use the negative of my die cuts and cricut shapes which is what I have used here. so often they get discarded ,Good word for card makers dont you think. fat birdies are penny black as is sentiment.

back soon love chris xx

snow

well apparently it talks of snow this weekend that will make us feel christmassy won't it girls, I would like to have everything done by Friday (I am beginning to doubt it)then I can just enjoy the run up with my 11 year old son who breaks up on Friday.Just finished my Christmas cards got a few more to write though,I have got to simple ones now such as this one .

enjoy your evening.lots of love chrisxx

Hopefully not Beige

A bit different for me one of those cards where I stamped the magnolia music (silent night) on the right hand side and really didnt know where I was going with it, anyway I quite think its ok.

the circle is off fabulous finds I have cut it out 4 times and stuck them together to get the depth, the snowfkakes are off the cricut, oh yes and the stamp is a sarah kaye, the stamps to the left are sei which I just love ,very useful .

sorry I haven't blogged lately but still not quite feeling A1, I seem to have got at least 15 cards half started but nothing finished .

just a little reminder on the 5th of December at sir stampalot there are going to be 7 ladies doing demonstraions I'm one of them so come and see me .

lots of love Chris xx
