I have finally made a start on my Christmas cards, I have only completed one but I have been stamping and colouring as well! I love this reindeer stamps from Stamping Bella. The do such fabulous stamps - I have also started on the envelope stamps which I have made quite glittery....Hopefully I will get these finished tomorrow and get them up on the website.
Happy crafting!

I got back from Somerset and there sitting on the mat was my parcel from Canada with my fabulous Christmas stamps....I am sooo excited about using them, it's been 3 days and I still haven't found the time to start using them, I know I am so far behind! I am going to use them tomorrow and post one of my new designs soon, promise!

We have just got back from a week in Somerset, enjoying the countryside and a bit of shopping thrown in! Jack was amazed by the chickens in the garden and once he could get to them all he wanted to do was pick them up, which the chickens weren't that keen on!

There is a nice craft shop near Taunton town centre which is at Monkton Elm garden centre. They have a lot of bits in there and also hold some classes which looked really good, it's a shame I don't live closer! The link for the shop is; http://www.monktonelmgardencentre.co.uk/CraftbrCentre/20/Home.html

We starting crafting today and decided the best use for some of the new beads was on Isobel's scrapbook page. She is very proud of her creation as am I. I however need to find some inspiration and motivation from somewhere...I have so much to do I don't know where to start!

My daughter Isobel and I went to our local craft shop today. Isobel is always drawn to the beads, she doesn't really know what to do with them apart from sticking them on a few pictures but today she said she wanted to make a "lovely card with beads on".....In the meantime I managed to get myself lost in the new Pepper Pals and Papermania Christmas papers, which I hope to use this week to create my Christmas cards - a bit late I know but better late than never!! Surfice to say Isobel got home from the craft shop and decided she wanted to watch a DVD, leaving the beads firmly in the paper bag where they still are! maybe tomorrow we will see the new creation!
