Christmas Nuthatch in Florida

I have to say this is quite surreal.  I am sitting on the deck typing this overlooking a beautiful pale sand beach watching a few people shelling and others dog walking.  Back home in the UK they have had their first frost. 

This card, another Christmas one, uses a recent release from Mark's Finest Papers.  I die cut the circle and prepared the other pieces to bring with me.  Other cards made while we are here could have a few squares or rectangles and they might not be perfect as I only have a ruler and knife!  The card is for Challenge 9 and it is another easy one - use your favourite sketch so why not join in.

  Hope everyone had a great weekend especially those celebrating Thanksgiving.

Mad Rush

Off out very shortly but wanted to get this posted.  It is my card for Mum for Christmas - dogs and flowers!.  It uses this week's Jugs colours.

Peaceful Nuthatch

A Trip to Lancaster

What a Fox

This card was made for my Brother in Law who turned 50 on Sunday.  He has always pretended to be much younger but with a big party on Saturday he could pretend no more.  The trip to Lancaster set with the great sentiment about age was my choice.  I have used SC359 sketch and my colour choices are from challenge CC348. 

Thanks for looking

First Blog Hop - Thanksgiving Nuthatch

This is a big event in my crafting life - my frst ever participation in a blog hop.  Sadly at the time of posting I don't know who is next on the Marks Finest Papers hop.  However I can share my card with you that uses the lovely little Nuthatch.  I have combined it with some Thansgiving paper and the sketch SC358 and mailed it out Saturday.

VLVNov011 Week 2

I am still struggling for crafting time but wanted to get some more cards completed for Christmas.  Majority are written and ready to post but I have one or two to make.  This one uses the Week 2 sketch for VLV.  The sketches are always that bit more challenging but here is my take on it.  This one is for the Vets who looked after our old Goldie Meg, plus our Lab many years ago.  This will be our 3rd Christmas without our own pooch! 

Golden Girl

This card is for Saturday's Penny black challenge - gold and presents. Nothing fancy but I like this image. 
Thanks for looking and keep warm.
