This card is a design team make for the fabulous Jiggery Makery. This lady is one of my favourites and I decided that she could be a wonderful make for the festive season. I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some glittery Christmas trees to her dress. She even has glittery pom poms on her shoes. I then thought about the song..Rocking around the Christmas tree..so I needed a tree. I had this fabulous stamp from Stampendous Stamps so I coloured it as well with my promarkers and added a glittery base. Now I started singing the song, I can't get it out of my head..lol
There are some fabulous ladies over at Jiggery Makery..so why not pop over to their facebook page and take a look. Over the past few weeks, the other members of the team have created some fantastic creations..a wonderful source of inspiration. The lovely ladies of Jiggery Makery are just a perfect source to create whatever type of card you like to make. And I have to add that the gentlemen in my life do enjoy receiving a glamorous lady..lol.
As I write it is still raining and all the cats are now sulking.I have to add that the kittens are helping to put them all in a bad mood. Since the kittens have been running about, the big cats have really had their tails in a knot. But at least they have all been very good with the babies. Last night Simon slept on the bed with Jeffrey and it was so sweet. Simon kept rubbing up to Jeffrey and then kept copying everything he did. And to make matters even weirder he kept making little noises..just like Jeff does. So when I popped to the bathroom, the two of them came with me, both making little noises and then finally followed me back. The exciting life I live..lol..and I can count my blessing every day.
Well the coffee is calling again and then it will be time to think about getting dinner ready. We are having fish again tonight and then tomorrow it will be liver and onion gravy.I'm looking forward to it already. So until tomorrow..take care and happy crafting.
Todays card is a design team make for the wonderful company of JB-Crafting Supplies. I have used this stamp from Stampendous Stamps. I just loved this image of the snowmen and had such fun stamping, colouring and of course glittering this card. For any of your christmas crafting needs, please pop over to the JB-Crafting Supplies shop and take a look.
Well what a weekend it turned out to be.I had all these plans of work to do and what with the wind, the kittens and the electricity supply..hardly any thing got done.The wind and the rain raged on Friday and Saturday...the lights were forever on and off and when it finally came on..there was no internet connection. And I have to say that this cottage is really dark with no lights..and with all the kittens..candles were not an option..lol.
The kittens are growing rapidly and eating me out of house and home..lol. They now come downstairs whilst I'm cooking..and it's a hectic time. Because the kitchen is quite a large room, they can pick up quite a speed and the noise that they make is unbelievable.
I tend to find this time of year really hard, with missing Henry as I do. This was one of our favourite times of year and the house used to be filled with laughter and anticipation. The magic of the season always seemed to be around. At the moment I seem to feel nothing and it's really hard...all the adverts on the television, the films and everything we used to be into..I can't get there. Everyone is so kind and I'm blessed with amazing friends but I just don't know how to get out of this funk. I have to believe that time will make things easier and that perhaps next year I will try and do the whole christmas thing to honor Henry and all the christmases we shared. Next year I shall perhaps put a tree up. Goodness knows I can only hope. And I shall continue to count my blessings.
Well the coffee is calling and I think a good dose of caffeine will do me good. As I write all the kittens have finally gone to sleep..and all is quiet. Even the big cats look relieved..lol. I hope that the weather is being kind to you.So until next time..take care and happy crafting.
Todays card is a design team make for the fabulous JB-Crafting Supplies. Just a simple card showing off this wonderful shoe stamp from the Stampendous range. I have made this card just by matting and layering some printed mirri from my stash onto a 6x6 card and adding the stamped image to the top layer. I also added a silver bow. I loved the detail that has been managed to be incorporated into the stamp and it can either be used on it's own as a focal point or would make a perfect embellishment to a vintage card.
The weather here at the moment in the mountains is lovely..just a bit breezy..which I don't mind. At least the sun is shining which I never expected...it poured it down early this morning. But now all is fine and it means that the cats have all gone out. Apart I have to say apart from Jeffrey who for some reason has decided to take over my legs. And what a weight he is..but at least it's like a huge hot water bottle...lol.
Well the coffee is calling and after that it will be time to refind the parlour. The cupboard of lost memories has now been emptied and has nearly been sorted. The cats are not happy because there is nothing to sit on..lol Nothing is going back in it at the moment..in fact now I've been through it all there is nothing to go back. I have 1 bag of material and leather which I have plans for and a bag of sewing threads which will go in the studio when that's done. I've sorted a bag of blankets suitable for the cats, which can live in the airing cupboard. Apart from my coin collection and Henrys pictures there is nothing else that I'm keeping..all the rest is bagged and on the patio waiting for the skip to arrive. Do I feel virtuous..not yet..I'll probably feel better when I can see the couch..lol. But I think that I did too much yesterday..so I'm just taking it easy today. I may feel better later after I've kept my legs up for a while. Later this week is time to start the studio...goodness help me..lol. So until tomorrow...take care and happy crafting.
