Deep, and crisp, and even! .........................

The new Bird Feeding Station, and Nesting Box, a Christmas Present off our Son, and Daughter in Law, also a feeding bell there too, bet the poor birdies wont even see it in this snow! lol

Remember my Cherry Tree? well here it is with no Cherries!!! lol
This photo reminds me of a Thomas Kincade painting with the way the lights are shining on the snow, taken at 8am this morning before it got light.

Last but not least, part of our back garden, looking as nice as everyone elses garden now lol


We have had snow, and ice over the last two weeks, but not as much as this!
It started snowing last night about 9pm, and it has snowed on, and off since then, I would say about 6" to 7" so far, and still snowing!! (2pm)
At the rate it is going, I think I will hibernate till the Spring comes! and after my fall two weeks ago, I managed to slip again this morning just taking the newspapers to the bin in the garden, a matter of about 6ft! brrrrr it's cold sat in that deep snow! lol
I was very lucky that I havent done myself any serious damage, but I have definitely decided not to go out again!!!

On the bright side, at least I wont be short of winter pics for my Christmas Cards this year! lol
Take care everyone in this awful weather, wrap up warm if you do have to go out, and stay safe!
Bye for now

Last of my 2009 cards...............................

These are the last cards I made in 2009, a selection of Birthdays, and Christmas Cards.
The poinsettia, snowflake, angel, and text on the Man City card, all cut out on my Craft Robo. The fan, and the butterfly one are my own sheets, made in PSP, and the last two are both deco sheets that I had bought.
Now I only have to start making some new cards for 2010, and I will be able to add more! lol
Hope you like them

A few of my latest Christmas Cards..................

This one I used the Patchwork Template, that was kindly shared by Maureen, thank you Maureen x
I used PSP Brushes for the images, I cut them out, and then deco'd them, added some peel offs, and there you are, a nice easy card to do.

This one is made using Jak's Lovely Poinsettia flower Sheet, she kindly shared with us all, thank you Jak.
I used red, and gold holographic card as my backing, added some Diamond Stickles, and holly peel off borders. I scanned the card, so unfortunately it doesn't show the richness of the red, and gold.

Both these cards are made with my own Backing Sheets, which you will find further down the page, I posted them a few weeks ago.
I used my Craft Robo (crobby as he is called lol) to cut out the snowflake, and the tree, both Templates are from UKScrappers
so thank you to the talented peeps on there.
Once again the holographic card has not scanned too well, looks much nicer in the flesh lol

The last two are again my own sheets, made in PSP, nice easy cards to make, and I just added some Diamond Stickles to the trees, and borders.

Thank you for looking, and if you could please leave me any comments, I am always very happy to read them :))

Some new Cards I have made ................................

This first one was cut out on my Crobby (Craft Robo) I love this fan, it is a free template that I got from UKScrappers I love the templates off there, such a lot of talented peeps, and I for one am very grateful for them sharing their talent with us all, so thank you UKS
This next one is cuttlebugged using my new Sizzex Texture plates, and yes they do go through my Cuttlebug, just a bit fiddly to find the right sandwich to use, ended up using quiet a few shims, and my Wizard Tan embossing mat, but I think you will agree it came out lovely. A Dufux deco, and a toning ribbon to finish.
This last one is one of my own creations, I designed the fan sheet, and couldn't resist trying it out, I do love black, and white, I did finish it off with a white shimmer bow, as I thought it just needed something a bit extra ( even with all the Glamour Dust I used lol) I did cut out round the fan, and used white iridescent sparkle card for backing, a very sparkly card indeed! lol

Hope you all like them
Thank you for visiting

Halloween Invitations, hand crafted by..........................


..................Megan, and Grace, with a little help from Crobby (Craft Robo) and Nana :))

The witches, haunted house, and bats all cut out on crobby, the girls did a lovely job of making the invitations up, with lots of sticky pads, just the wording was done on the printer, they also made some spiders, and very colourful they are too! lol
Hope you enjoy looking at my talented Granddaughters work :)))
