Hi!

Morning Everyone,

I hope that you're all doing fine today. Its a cooler day once again here but spring is definately in the air. Ive been outside for a bit this morning just to get some fresh air. I did a wee spot of tidying in the garden ready for spring. Its lovely to see all the bulbs starting to wake up :) 

This wee guy is getting a bird eye view of the land while he flies his kite!! What a cutie!! 

This card was initially going to look a bit different but I had a hiccup with the scan and cut!! I do like the way it turned out though!!!

Morning Everyone.

Welcome back to my wee bit of blogland. Im here with a card I have been pottering about with over the last few days. 

Its not made of chocolate but its chocolate brown card. It was meant to be totally CAS but I added the glittery pinecones as it was too stark. I had cut out the gold ones for a make before christmas but then decided that I didn't want to use them so popped them in my scraps box!!! Glad I kept them now!!!

Golly its gone from really wintery Scotland to spring in the last couple of days!!!! 

Yesterday was lovely, I have lots of daffys popping though the ground and one even has a bud. There are a few snowdrops through as well, so things are looking brighter!!!

My post today is for Fezziwigs Festive Frolics. This fortnight I have banned squares and rectangles!!!! I want to see your shaped makes!!! 

As well as an addiction to my scan and cut I seem to have one for Dreaming Tree SVGs too!!!! 

This one is apt for last week. Its called Snowed In!!! 

Lots of pretty sparkle on the card.

Hopefully Tom might just get back to school later that month!!  Pupils who are doing practical subjects are getting to go in to do their practical tests but Tom is doing all academic things so hes still stuck at home with me!!

Hi Folks,

Welcome to the Weekend!!!! For the fact that we are in lockdown time does seem to be passing quite quickly.

What is everyone up to this weekend? I am not doing much crafting but do need to have a good tidy up of the house!!! I am also boing to be having a big blog visit as I have only been managing to comment on entries to my wee challenge over the last few days so think I will spend a while tonight catching up on everyones weeks. 

My creation today is a clock for my craft room. I didnt have one in it since I moved my stuff to what was Toms old bedroom. When I saw this clock svg file set over on Dreaming Tree I knew I had to buy it and all the bits for it and make my own. 

I really like it as its full of sparkle and it lights up!!! It took a while to make, the tutorial videos over at Dreaming Tree are fantastic though and it talked me through with no issues. I was a bit perplexed by the clock mechanism but worked it out and now know how long Ive been crafty for.

My main picture today looks quite yellow. :( I really need to work out my light box. The lights from it are making everything yellow and Im really having to edit to get my pictures anywhere near the colours should be.

It would seem that this is an ongoing.... 10 year issue I have!!! I just looked back at my first entry into the Less Is More Challenge and I have a very yellowed picture on it too!!!! I think it must have been their first challenge as my date on it is 12.02.1. I still love the card I did then. Although I can now manage blending a bit better!!!!  Its here.

I hope you are all going to have a nice weekend. I dont have much planned, just some tidying up!!! Boooo!!!  

Stay Safe everyone,

Love and Sparkles,

Good Morning from a very Snowy Scotland!!! 

Golly we dont get snow like we have had over the last 48 hours very often!! There is oodles of it and its brilliant snowman building snow!!! 

Im here this morning with my latest make for Fezziwigs Festive Frolics. This fortnight I would like you to take at least 3 items from my list and use them for your makes. 

I coloured this image in before christmas and then used my scan and cut to cut the outline out. It sat for weeks on the desk as I didn't know what to do with it. Then I decided on this make. 

The ribbon is a velvet one that was on our Christmas crackers. I kept it all as I thought it would look fab on some cards!! 

My items from the list for this make are red, gold, green, glitter, ribbon, gems and if I was pushing it texture from the ribbon :)

Morning Everyone,

Welcome back to my wee bit of blogland. Hello to my newest follower Antje x

 Im here today with a wee card I made for the latest butterfly challenge. Its a bit outside my usual comfort zone. 

Mrs A wanted to see some Herringbone on your creation. I hope you can still see mine in the background of the image.  I started with a herringbone template that I cut from my scan and cut. I didn't much like it and then the post peep arrived with a magazine, stamps  and stencils! Then my inspiration was tweaked and I worked out what to do!!! The magazine was on a half price offer that day over on Craft Stash.
