CHRISTMAS VILLAGE
I have always wanted to make a Christmas village,so I started it  about three weeks ago  to give me plenty of time.
  I am still looking for  things to  add to this.
 I made it from a cake stand from Poundland , and the xmas tree ,and lights from poundland to.the light switches are under the two of the houses ,and all the wires are hidden .....the houses and trees I cut on the silhouette ,some a from    http://monicascreativeroom.se/ and others from silhouette store.  I stamped and glittered.. the ground coverage I used card made soft with glycerine and water and crinkled to look like snow, and used  Pva  and water for the snow to stick to..it look better than the picture shows.x

                                                          2 large A 4 cards my own DESIGN CUT FILE

A card I made for my cousin  for his birthday today, I wanted to make a 3D card, this is what it ended up like.

Another bendy card ,I cut this a little too short but it will have to do, I am not very good at stamping , but i really enjoy it
 I found some new ink colours behind my letterbox to day ,some more Tim Holtz colours. if you think it would be better with black tree's your right , as  many of my cards it changed direction part way through,lol ,it  stated of to be a country scene.x

LAVEDER CLOTH STAMPED TAGS

I had to put my card things away as we were decorating . Davie did most of it,i can't do a lot now after i damaged the nerves in my lover back ,last year .
 I couldn't wait to start crafting again, so i got the sewing machine out, and these are what i made... lavender tags....i stamped the image on cream cloth ,  and die cut the cloth twice,  and cut 1 card tag... I joined a piece of hessian to the bottom of  of each cream tag, then spayed  repositional stick and spay to hold the cloth both sides of the card tag  while i stitched  it  around ,....leave a gap for filling...   i put lavender from my cut bushes  to fill the hessian bottom........,i used fabric glue to stick  the small tag and around the edge to stop them fraying... ( I used brilliance ink for cloth)

CREATIVE BLOG HOP

                                                   
                                                       CREATIVE BLOG HOP

monday 8th sep 2014
I was asked by      (Crafty Sutterbug blog )      if I'd like to join in with the Creative Bloggers Hop.  It's a continuous hop every Monday with a host of inspirational bloggers taking part every week.
So onto the questions

1. What am I working on?
I am card maker,  but at  the moment i am working on designing and making up my own card  cutting files on the   Silhouette Studio Designer software.

2.How does my work differ from others in my genre?
 i dont think my cardmaking differs from other crafters at all, i just like to learn something new all the time, no matter how hard it is, like making a new design of card.

3. Why do I write/create what I do?  
     I love all crafts ,but cardmaking i love the most , both me and my other half are crafters ,so its nice to be crafting in the same room and creating something we have made.

4. How does your writing/creative process work?
   I get a idea and i have to get the card making goodies out ,or sometimes    wake up with a idea.

 This is my contribution to the creative blog hop .
 I have only picked one person to follow ,and its JAN THOMPSON , I have known Jan for many years, and she as always at the other end of my  key board, when i need  help or advise on anything i am stuck with ,she is a great person with lots of talent,
  (well on to you jan.)
