Just a little card

Hello
It's been a while since I've had time to sit and do any serious crafting of any kind BUT I have created a nice little card for my mum-in-laws birthday

I've used the SUO challenge "Featuring Flowers" as the theme for her card

Card - Baked Brown Sugar (my favourite colour), Wild Wasabi & White
Inks - Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight & Elegant Eggplant
Golden crochet thread I had lying around.

Hello,

First things first, my lastest creation for a couple of challenges:

I decided to make a gift bag.
Don't know why, just didn't have my card-making head on.

I have used:-
Inks - Crisp Cantelope, Sahara Sands, Smokey Slate and Night of Navy

Card - Crisp Cantelope, Sahara Sands and Crumb Cake

Ribbon - Peach parfait

Stamps - WMS - Compact Family, Irish Blessings and Fancy Flourishes & Scallops & Dots.

Adhesive Pearl Swirls (which just happened to go beautifully with the WMS stamps





I know it's been a while for the official reveal but here it is........

 I'm affraid the image is a little out of focus (old age...eyes are going....lol). But I can't help loving this little guy, he's just so cute.

• Inks - SU Riding Hood Red, SU Smokey Slate and Momentos Tuxedo Black
• Card - SU Basic Grey and cream
• Stamps - WMS and Cute Elf

Well I'm off to bed now

Crafty little peep

I know I've kept you all waiting, sorry.
But here is another sneak peek at some of my xmas batch

Cheeky little chappy smiling at you

Yes, I know it's not long till xmas now, but I can't give too much away just yet now can I :-)

We went to my company xmas party the other week and it was amazing!
It was at the Derby Roundhouse (part of Derby college), a preserved railway turntable in the old carriage works. There were acrobats and stilt-walkers. Mid-dinner there was a fabulous show. After dinner there were dodgems and a funfair/casino.

Back soon
Promise

Xmas, Happyings and Spitfires

Hello my dears

I have been crafting and photographing.
My xmas cards are finally coming along quite nicely. I have gone for an unusual colour pallet this year - Smokey Slate, Riding Hood Red, Basic grey and Cream. I based my colour choice on some wonderful ribbon I found at our local haberdashers.

And here is a little teaser:

Ooh.........now what could this be leading too?!?







Do you remember my lovely "HAPPYINGS" jar? http://buffysplace-buffy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/nothing-like-card-just-happyings.html
Well I complete forgot to share my updated jar design with you.......DOH!
So here it is -

A very happy "Happyings" jar
I have to say I am quite looking forward to sharing some of my Happying with you all. It's quite full










Graham and I were out on one of our geocaching adventures around EM Airport when we heard a rather strange noise. After a few minutes we realised what it was......a magnificent spitfire.

Rolls Royce store one of the last surviving Spitfires right on their doorstep. We were just fortunate enough to be stood close to the airport fence when it came out onto the runway. It was coming in to land as I caught this photo.

What else have I been up to??

How about this little fellow

Kindly modelled by my loving hubby

I crocheted this tiny cheeky chap purely to see how small I could manage. Using a 1.25mm hook and fine mercerised crochet thread. My minnion (micro minnion) stands 2cm tall. I plan to convert him into a badge.

Well, I shall be back soon with another xmas card sneak peak and more crochet madness

Hugs
