185 Days to Go.......

......until Christmas. Yipeeee!!
Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year and its never too early to start thinking about it. I have a couple of presents already and today I made my first cards (using one of the gorgeous new CC stamps available from Gotta Craft)






I have added some red Pro Markers to my collection especially for Christmas projects. The reds I have used are: Red, Ruby and Poppy

BBQ Layouts

I am living up to my name of only being a Saturday Scrapper at the moment but I did finish a double layout at yesterday's crop which is super-speedy scrapping my by usual standards.

The circle ideas on each page were taken from Sandra's mega bundle of scrap sketches, the papers are a mix from a past Gotta Craft kit and the bird embellie & felt flower are from this month's Dabble Kit

More Cards....

For somebody that has never got the hang of rubber stamping and whose colouring skills are normally limited to the kid's menu and pot of crayons in Pizza Express, I have to confess I am addicted!

I blame Sandra over at Gotta Craft with her huuuuge array of promarkers and gorgeous new CC stamps. They are so easy to stamp with and I have really enjoyed learning to blend pro markers to colour them in (you just need 2 or 3 colours in slightly varying shade and away you go - the results are fab!)


This is the Sweet November Corander stamp and the colours I have used are:
ivory, blush and pale pink for the skin
leaf green and meadow green for the dress
terracotta, cinnamon and burnt umber for the hair
