NAUGHTY LITTLE ELF
The image is by Mo Manning from Penny Black....Little Elf Finn. I love these little elves, they look so cheeky.
I have coloured with Promarkers....a while since I've picked these up so I think I'm a little out of practise but never mind I hope to have more free time in the New Year....HaHaHa!!!.
I have embossed the background and used various punches and corner rounders and the sentiment is from LOTV....and of course I've used lots and lots of Stickles for that added bit of Christmassy bling.

WEDDINGS AND BIRTHDAYS
This was the third card I had made for the same wedding and I tried to make them all different.....I made a box for this one as the roses were too big to pop in an envelope.
This is the card I made for the 25th Wedding Anniversary....the roses look yellow in this photograph but they are cream.....just rubbish photos.
I love winter but the light is rubbish for taking pictures of cards.....or maybe its down to my rotten photography.......
Thank you for stopping by.

WINTER/CHRISTMAS ATC's
I mounted the finished decoupage images on to some scraps of gold Mirri card and the only other thing I added was lots and lots of Stickles.
Sorry about the poor picture quality but still hoping that Santa will bring me that lovely photographic light box........
Thank you for stopping by.

Thank you for the inspiration Polly.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE
This card was for no particular reason other than I found these die cut decoupage sheets in my craft room and thought I would have a play. The papers are from my scraps box and I have simply used some punches, a border punch and some Nesties....well at least I have a birthday card ready for next year.
Thank you for stopping by.

VINTAGE CAR
This is a totally different style of card for me but I have to say I really enjoyed making it. I must also report that at last I think my Mojo has finally found its way back home....Thank goodness!!!.....I will be having a serious word with it later to find out where it has been of late.
The image for this card is from Rubbernecker and the papers are from a Kanban paper pad called Industriana which I think are just perfect for men's cards. The cogs and wheels are Tim Holtz. The piece of brown card in the centre was embossed and then rubbed over with a bronze wax.

SNOWY DAY
This is a photo of myself and my daughter and was taken late last year when we were out walking the dogs in the woods. The snow had been quite heavy overnight and it was extremely cold and we were very wet after a spot of snowballing.

VINTAGE SANTA
This is the first card of the six I have completed and as per usual for me I never seem to finish things at these workshops so end up bringing them home to finish....eventually. All the cards Sue designed and taught us had different elements which you could easily recreate. I had a lovely day and came home with lots of ideas.....so 'Thank You' Sue.....
Thank you for stopping by.
