More Christmas Scrapping...

Just when Eli thought it couldn't get any worse I found this oh so cute hat with a snowman on the top.  I think when he grows up and sees these pics he will probably fall out big time with his Grannie Annie, but oh well I'll talk my way out of that when the time comes.

Again I've used Scrapbook Artist to digitally create my page.  I'm learning all the time though and so proud of myself as in this page I've actually created my own frame for the photo to snap into.  Cool eh?

The sketch I've used is a fab one by the team at Sketchy Thursdays.  Really enjoyed using this one.

My page is also for the challenges at...

• Craft Your Days Away Challenges - Snowmen

Have a great day.  I'm working all week so crafting time is going to be severely limited, but hopefully I'll be able to play a little.

Oh my goodness it's 2012...

Happy New Year to everyone.  Let's hope it's a good one for us all.  One of my many New Year resolutions is to use more of my stash especially new stuff as sometimes I buy things and find a space somewhere in the craft room and simply never get round to using them even though I love the stamps to pieces.  Really silly to buy and never ink up so to start the year I've made a card using a really cute Molly Bloom stamp that Santa brought me.  I really love this stamp as it has so many possibilities.  I think it would fab paper pieced and would decoupage quite well too.

I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly as a basis for my design and papers that have been in my stash for a long, long time.  I like to use vellum over highy patterned paper as I love the way you can still see the design on the paper through the layer.  In this case I found a matching blue vellum to use.  The image was coloured using Promarkers and die cut snowflakes and gems complete the card.

Additional Challenges...

• Stuck on U Sketches - Snowflakes
• Rainbow Lady - Your Choice

Think I may start my other resolutions (less red wine and more healthy food) next week.  LOL! Have a great day whatever you have planned for the day. 

Love and smiles,

Wonderful Christmas...

Just popped in to say that I hope everyone has had a Christmas as wonderful as I have.  Didn't start celebrating till Boxing Day when we were all free from work, but it was worth the wait as it was just so special to have everyone together.

Took masses of photos of you know who!  Well he's just so much cuter than us groan ups and far more fun to scrap book.  To create my latest page I used Serif Craft Artist software and a sketch from Stuck on U Sketches.

My page is also for the challenge at Simon Says Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes!

Just in case I don't log in again before the New Year starts I'd like to wish everyone a very very Happy New Year.

Love and laughter.
