Snow-vember!

Over at Squirrel's blog we're just over half way with the Snow-vember challenge. Basically, we'd like to see cards with snow people/animals on them. Thank you to all who have entered - Squirrel's worked super hard and produced a mountain of snow creature cards :-)

Now, I've lost the packaging for this little fella - he's one of my oldest stamps, but I think he's from Personal Impressions.The fab paper is from the Polar Pals kit over at NitWit Collections.

My poor hands are super painful today - Carpal Tunnel and heaven knows what else. I'm not going to the doctor - I just don't want to know!! So I shall say goodbye for now. Hope you're having a great weekend. Biggest of hugs, Jayne x

Snow Princess Too!

I have only made 14 Christmas cards! I think that may well be the worst total ever at this point! Pitiful. I shall be heading to Card Factory. The shame.

This one is made using the beautiful Snow Princess Too papers from NitWit Collections.

I treated myself to Grand decorative labels One :-)  I've used the Spellbinders poinsettia die and the La La Land heart banner.

This is still one of my favourite LOTV images - she just looks lovely in any colour combo.

Thank you for visiting - I'm sending hugs. Jayne xxx

Not a Square over at Crafty Little Fairies!

This month over at Crafty Little Fairies we want to see anything but square cards! Great excuse to get those scrummy huge dies out :)

My card today teams the lovely LOTV snowman image with the NitWits Polar Pals Collection. I've used the Spellbinders poinsettias die too.

Aww, I love this image :)

It's a school morning so gotta run!!! Hope that you get the chance to join us this month.

Thank you for all your kind words and hugs, I really appreciate it! Hugs, Jayne x

Snowvember and Less is More!

Apologies for my absence from blogland and my total failure to come and visit your blogs :-(  I don't have words for the last few weeks. I'm hoping things can only get better :-)

I made this card as a sample for the local craft shop (Samual Taylor's)  It's not really my thing, but I can only use what they sell in the shop so I'm a bit limited! The super cute chubby snowman is from Woodware and he just makes me smile - short and plump. He's me in snowperson form ;-)

So, it's Snowvember over at the lovely Squirrel's blog! You have a month to join in the snowman fun! All you need to do to enter is make a card featuring a snow person.

Over at Paula's blog, A Little Bit Crafty, we are have a Less is More challenge. I'm more of a more is more kinda gal, but it is supposed to be a challenge!!

There are lots of fab prizes up for grabs and I hope that you get the chance to join in.

Hugs, Jayne xx

Dress Shoppe!

This is my first card using the NitWit Collections 'Dress Shoppe' design set.

I've used the Sue Wilson bow die and the Die-namics petal die. The mannequin is from the Digi stamp boutique and is the dress and mannequin set. I first saw the digi stamp over at Lorraine's blog and when a friend asked me for a card with a pretty dress on I knew where to go! Hmm, Mrs B's blog costs me a small fortune :-)

Right, I've got to go as it's parent drop in morning at school.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it!  Hugs, Jayne x

One design paper over at Crafty Little Fairies!

Oooh, I struggled with this one and I'm not happy with the results. Ho hum. I'm just not feeling crafty at all at the moment.  I think most of us go through this kind of phase but mine has lasted quite a while!

Anyhoo, the snowman stamp is from Kanban and is very old but I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've used it! Naughty girl!

I hope that you get the chance to join us, we have lots of crafty prizes up for grabs. Biggest of hugs, Jayne xxx

BOO! over at A Little Bit Crafty.

This month we've come over all spooky at A Little Bit Crafty. The title of the challenge is Boo! So I'm thinking Halloween or a card with an element of surprise is the way to go. This is my offering - I avoided the challenge all together for most of the month and then made it in a mad rush a couple of days ago!

I found the image right at the last minute but just loved it the minute I saw it. It's a Wee digi stamp and was a bargain at £1.85 :-) I'm lacking in the orange copic department so this is the best I could do. The papers are DCVW. I've gone all CAS because I have no Halloween embellishments!!

We have fabulous prizes up for grabs so I hope that you get the chance to join us. 

We had a meeting with my daughter's class teacher and the Special Needs Co-ordinator last week and I am hopeful that things improve. So far this week has been good for her and we've had no tears. I hate sending an unhappy child to school and am praying that things get better.

Thank you for stopping by, I love it when you do! Hugs, Jayne x
