May the Magic of Christmas Fill Your Heart.....

I thought this would be a nice card to put on my Blog for over the Festive Period... it's the card that I made for my Mum.... she loves traditional red and green, and Poinsettias... so hopefully she will love this... sorry about the rubbish photo... taken with a flash in a hurry! :-)

Sending you... 

Love and Hugs!

The First Noel... the angels did say... was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay (all singalong)

Hello! I hope you are all doing ok. I've been trying to post this card for three days but keep finding jobs to do.

Anyway, here it is... a card that I made for my daughter's boyfriend. I've used a Sue Wilson Framed Noel Die... and some Wild Rose Studio 'Holly Lane' Papers. And some Gems to finish off.

I'm not sure I would call this card Clean and Simple because of the patterned paper? but maybe it is minimalist? I quite like how it came out anyway.

All the Christmas food arrived this morning... so we are stocked up! My daughter comes home tomorrow to spend Christmas with us and I can't wait!!! SO looking forward to spending some time with her and watching Downton etc! :-)) 

I will try and pop back with another Christmas Card... but first I need to photograph it... which is a chore when it never comes light! but at least the days are getting longer again now!! 

Just in case I don't catch up with you again.... I would like to wish you all the best for Christmas and New Year! Sending HUGE hugs to all those that need. You are all wonderful blogging buddies and I really do appreciate your visits to my blog!

Take Care

MAWTT - Hazel's Sketch

Hello... I hope you are all doing ok today...  it's the turn of Team B once again at

Moving Along With the Times

our lovely boss Hazel is hosting this week and she has given us this fab

'SKETCH'

You can flip or rotate it, but we must be able to see that you have followed the sketch.
You have until 7th January to get your entries in... so plenty of time!

I've used some gorgeous Maja Papers - Vintage Frost Basics. The image and stamp are also from the pad. The Poinsettia Stamp was a freebie with magazine. I've added lots of Star Dust Stickles so the flowers twinkle.

 I've added some red nailheads for berries.

I hope you can pop over to our main site at MAWTT and see the rest of the Team's sparkly creations this week!!

I hope you are all nearly ready for Christmas? I'm hoping to get my tree up before weekend. Can't seem to get around to it... so just glad it's a little Fiber Optic one... I can just take it out of the box and plug it in! :-)

I'm looking forward to Downton and Call the Midwife on Christmas Day! they both look very seasonal this year! Yay!

I'd like to wish you all the very best for Christmas and New Year!
Take care and stay safe

Love and hugs

MAWTT - Christmas Climate

Hello... I hope you are all doing ok today...  it's the turn of Team B once again at

Moving Along With the Times

our lovely Red is the hostess this week and she has chosen a fab theme of:

Christmas Climate

Some like it HOT and some like it COLD and sometimes we don't have a choice!  Whether your Weather is Hot or Cold over Christmas, make a card that reflects your CHRISTMAS CLIMATE!

I searched for some papers to go with this adorable image Art by Miran: Winter Sofia, and came across some Marianne Design papers that I bought last Chrismtas... or was it the year before? anyway, I was really pleased to find them as there are some knitted effect papers which were perfect for paper piecing the hat and mitten.

Papers: Marianne Design - Eline's Warm Winter Wishes

Sentiment: Lotv - Icy Angel Set
Gold Seam Binding, Pom Pom Trim, Twine, Wooden Snowflake: Stash

I remember in the 60's... as kids... we always had gorgeous fair isle sweaters, hats and mittens.... my mum knitted a lot back then... and she knitted really fast too... much quicker than I ever could!! Lol

I hope you can pop over to our main site at MAWTT and see the rest of the Team's sparkly creations this week!!

Can't believe another week has flown by.... I've just booked my Christmas Shopping delivery slots, as I'm trying to be organised this year. I've not done very much crafting though... as I've come down with another bout of bronchitis. Unfortunately it seems to be a regular thing now through the winter months. I've still got a few things made that I can post on my blog though, so I will hopefully keep up in Blogland! ;-)
Thanks so much for all your lovely comments, I do love reading them!

Love and hugs
