WOYWW

It is now 3pm and I am just getting round to WOYWW.  The desk in question is a mess as usual but in my defence I was making some Christmas cards yesterday.

 

I have to admit I use Card making kits at Christmas, I usually buy a 'posh' set and a 'cute' set and I use them for my general Christmas card making and this is because I have so many to make, and then I usually make 'one offs' for close family. So here are some of the ones I made last night

I am also feeling pretty rubbish at the moment and do not feel very creative so the kits are ideal. It is quite a nice kit to use as some of the decoupage is acetate which is a bit unusual.  I will make half the kit as it is meant to be and then I will use the rest by making some different shaped cards when I am feeling a bit better.  to the right of my desk the mess continues

If you are wondering what I am babbling on about pop over here and see for yourself.

Hope you all have a great day,

Just couldn't resist

I had Owen happily sitting watching a DVD and decided to visit some blogs before I sat down to make Christmas cards, then I went to visit Lyn (Spyder) who had a new Wednesday freebie and I just couldn't resist having a wee play.  
Note for Lyn:  Honestly Lyn I am not stalking you, I just love your wee digi stamps.

So here is what I came up with

    

He is so cute, so I used a double diamond fold card added some papers I got free with a magazine a few sparkly embellishments and a peel off greeting.  The shape for snowman was with one of my nesties.

I did also make a birthday card for my Son's friends wee boy who will be 1 next month.  

I used some die cut decoupage I got last week from Foil Play, and I would just like to say that the service they give is excellent and I will definitely be using them again. The honeycomb background and the bee background papers were again free with a magazine but I though they were perfect for this card.

Finally thought you might like to meet Owen who decided that if I was taking pictures of cards then he wanted in on the act too.

Still got a messy desk this week.  Didn't do much crafting yesterday, but I managed to 'have a play' after my darling Grandson  Owen finally went to bed.  He is having a sleepover here tonight and we are going to have fun together tomorrow as he is having a day here at Granny's instead of with the childminder.
I was playing yet again with Spyders digi stamps.  Truth is I printed some out earlier for Owen to colour in and when I was clearing up last night I decided to colour in the ones that were left.
Then I had a 'lightbulb' moment and remembered I had some coaster blanks from my cross stitch days so decided to make a coaster, name card and napkin ring set, and this is what is lying in the middle of my desk.
So here is a better picture of them

Might even pop these into Spyders October challenge.  I have had stern words with myself as I need to get down to some actual cardmaking.  Oh dear Mr Linkz is telling me I have already entered Spyders challenge, never mind, I enjoyed making them but will need to make more for using on Christmas day.
Hope you all have a great day

My digi door hangers

Managed to finish my door hangers this afternoon.  I decided to do 3, one for Halloween, one for Christmas and a general one.
I did these to enter Spyders digi challenge which was to use any of her digis.

I love Spyder's images and they are such fun to use.
I made my template for the door hanger on my PC using word and cut the holes with a nestie.  They were coloured with promarkers and distressed with TH distress inks.

Firstly I would like to say Hi to my new followers, and the not so new, your support is really appreciated.I have only been blogging for a few weeks and I have been made feel so welcome, you are a fantastic bunch of people.  My only problem now is that I spend so much time reading blogs and not enough time crafting, but I am not complaining as the amount of inspiration I get from all you talented crafters is amazing.
So without further ado, I shall show my, yet again, messy desk. I reckon 1/10 on the messy scale.

I spent last night printing and colouring Spyder's digi stamps and started making some door hangers for Spyders digi challenge.  I really enjoy using Spyder's images and it gives me a chance to practice using my promarkers.
If you are wondering what I am babbling on about, why not pop over here to Julia's blog and let her explain all about it.  I didn't manage to get round everybody last week but I promise to try harder this week.

Over at Crafters Companion it is their 5th Birthday and they are having a birthday challenge, so I thought I would join in the fun with this card.

I decided to make a stepper card and decoupage some Beatrix Potter images.
