A cup of cheer

 Hi all,

It is the 1st February so time for our Sparkles Christmas challenge and Melissa has chosen the theme - A Cup of Christmas Tea,

I printed out a sheet from Etsy that I had purchased some decorative cuppas on and typed my own sentiment on the topper. I also used a Crafter's Companion snowflake background die, some clearly besotted snowflake die, gems and my Christmas tree die. 

Why not pop over and join in with us over at Sparkles Christmas.

It's been a quiet month here. Our flat roof was leaking and we had to get a new roof fitted eek. A tough start to the year financially, so we've been trying not to spend all of January... just getting essentials. A few more months and we should be okay phew. It gets quite addictive not spending. Ha ha. I must get back into some crafting as it does me good, so that is my goal for February.  

Thanks for popping by, I really appreciate your visits. Take care and stay cosy my lovelies.

Cosy and Warm

 Hi all,

Apologies for not wishing you all a Merry Christmas, time got away with me and I ran out of energy to do anything else. Hope you all had a lovely time whatever you decided to do. We had a nice time and we were very relaxed which was nice after all the build up.  Anyway its the 1st January 2025:

'Happy New Year.'

Time for our first challenge of the year over at Sparkles Christmas and Kate has chosen the theme - Cosy and Warm.

Apologies for my later than usual post but in my wisdom I did a card for February's challenge thinking it was for January - whoops, so I've made another card today. At least I'm organised for February I guess. I thought this pic was perfect for the challenge so I re-used it from a card, used a freebie background paper from Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine and put my dies to work for the mistletoe and the cosy and warm letters using my new die cutting machine from Kit and Caboodle. My Ebosser which I've had for 12 years had, had it's day, so I treated myself with my birthday money eek and I love it. I need to explore it more but so far so good.

Why not pop over and join in with us over at Sparkles Christmas.

Thanks for popping by, I really appreciate your visits.
