A couple of quickly made Christmas cards from me today - I have been a bit busy to do any crafting this weekend. This first one uses a Tim Holtz stencil, some inking through the stencil and the addition of some liquid pearls and wink of stella clear glitter. The sentiment was cut on my Explore
and this next one uses one of this year's Christmas stamps by Woodware, I paper pieced the 25 out of a pattern paper....
and the background was embossed with a snowflake embossing folder...
Now if you don't want to see me indulge in a bit of grandmotherly chatter, click away now.....So the boys and I had our adventure - a trip to Drayton Manor, where it soon became apparent that if there was anything to climb, up they went....
Max insisted he wanted to go on this ride, Milo was too small to ride, and of course I couldn't leave him. So off went the intrepid Max, he looked very small all by himself......
and it was fun when it first started swinging.....
Not so great when it swung almost vertical. That was a long couple of minutes!
We ended up in the 3D cinema - Milo fell asleep, and I was very tempted. 'I was watching with one eye, and sleeping with the other' he informed me....
I have a question, I have been sorting out my stamps, and I have a load to sell at bargain prices. Most of them are last season's designs, and for design team and magazine work I have to use the latest stuff. They are all rubber cling or clear stamps, and all British makes - Lily of the valley, Woodware and so on. If I did a used stamp sale on here, would there be any interest? I would post worldwde, postage at cost, and it shouldn't cost too much to mail unmounted stamps. Let me know, and I will take photos
Post pictures. Love the cards and the grandkids are so cute...

Hi Enfys,
ReplyDeletePlease post all the stamps. I'd buy them all but unfortunately we're leaving for San Diego with our daughter and two grandson's, so I won't have access to email. Boo Hoo!!! Love your cards.
