Christmas Elf

Afternoon peeps

I can't believe I Landlord, the whole road is badly in need of new windows and door but instead of replacing them, they are being painted again, that's not going to stop the heat from escaping through them.  They always seem to decided to do these jobs in winter as well, having to leave windows and doors open is not much fun.


Anyway, I have tried to keep myself busy by doing a bit of crafting.  The digital stamp is called Winter Elf from Scrapper's Delight and it has been coloured using Copics and Promarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Blue card stock
Digital patterned paper
Double sided adhesive sheet
Die'sire Snow Is Falling die set
Snowflake pearl
Blue pearls
Crystal Glamour Dust glitter

Beautiful Dancer

Evening peeps

In my post last night I said that my brother and his family had not spoken to my Mum and that she hadn't received a Birthday card from them.  Well, tonight she has had a phone call, not to see how she is or to say sorry that they forgot to get her a Birthday, but instead to ask if he can borrow her car.  I said along that he would ring her when he needed something from her, I just hope that she doesn't get upset again.


Anyway, I have gone with a Birthday card tonight.  The digital stamp is called Ballerina from Morgan's Art World and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

A Snowy Pink Christmas

Evening peeps

What should have been an easy day has turned into one of the most stressful shifts I have ever had.  The problem was that there were too many colleagues in this morning and not enough work for everyone to do.  Put that together with lazy colleagues that just want to stand around chatting, meaning that by the time I finished, I was stressed and had a headache.


As always, home to relieve my stress with a bit of crafting.  I have used a stamp and dies on this Christmas card and decided on the non-traditional colour of pink.


Materials used are:

White card stock
Pink Centura Pearl card stock
Double sided adhesive sheet
Pink & Main Scallop Waves die set
Cottage Cutz Village die

Cuddles

Evening peeps

Well, my interview yesterday seemed to go really well considering I haven't had an interview for 10 years.  They seemed to like my answers and were all smiles, but you never well know what they are looking for.  I will know by Friday this week if I have been successful and if I am, I will be starting in a couple of weeks, that is really scary.


Anyway, I made a start on this card last night, but didn't manage to get it finished until I got home from work this afternoon.  The digital stamp is called Primrose Elf from Aurora Wings and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock

Spellbinders Marisa's Bouquet die set
