Rugged up.

"There are 62 more sleeps to the big day (but I'm not counting -- I'm just a grumpy elf!) Are there still a lot of days till Christmas 2015? It ALWAYS seems like there are a lot of days to Christmas! Well, there are 62 days to be exact or 5,316,758 seconds!"

How do I know this ? I googled it .

Hello there , welcome to my room . Thanks for calling in . Hope that you and yours are contented and at peace with all family and friends .

Today I am sharing another DT card for Christmas Card Challenges  

Love my dies but I don't think any have excited me more than my new one from MFT. 

I used it twice here . Once with SU  Whisper White and again with patterned paper .The patterned paper cuts are set in the die cut white frame for fabulous effect. 

The sweet little cherub is from SU set , Christmas Cuties and  coloured with copics with a touch of Wink of Stella .

The greeting is from older SU set , Many Merry Messages .

Well done to the overall  winner of challenge #46 and to the top 3 . I do hope that we get to see you again soon .

Plenty of ideas to glean from the DT samples so for inspiration to pop over to their blogs to see how they made their projects and perhaps leave some blog love too . 

Please remember to link directly to the blog post or gallery page where we can view/comment on your creation, and not just the generic link to your blog. The link feature won't allow for generic blog links. You must create a new project. No back linking please.

See you at the challenge.

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

Wonderful Time of the Year

Hello there , welcome to my room and thanks for calling in .
Have you had a pleasant week ? I just do not know where the time goes . Well that is not really true !
 Had a great craft morning on Tuesday with Fran and Sandy , after which we went out for a quick lunch .  Then  a short but pleasant hour or so Friday afternoon with Jane . Jane was busy planning for a weekend away with Hubby and some friends but still found some time to spend some craft time with me . And I did manage some blog comments .
The rest of my time was taken up with mundane home duties and caring /keeping Doug happy .

Just found time to create a small 12.5cm square card as a DT share for
Christmas Card Challenges 


Hope that you like my card today .


The theme for this week is a photo challenge as shown below at end of post  . I wonder what inspiration you find in the photo.
