Merry Christmas to you all and a very happy New Year.

Hi all, Hope this post finds you all well. Finally the snow has melted and it seems a little milder. But for how long for???? It is lovely to see, but causes so much disruption and chaos. I can't believe that in less than a fortnight it is Christmas, we will all of had our Christmas dinner etc. We are at friends Christmas eve/Christmas day, then it is back here Christmas evening, ready for me to do it on Boxing day.

I have had a lovely evening crafting, made a stepper card, took a side shot as you can't quite get the depth of it. Used a collection of Molly Blooms stamps for the design. I have really fallen for them. Anyway I do hope your all well and keeping warm. Love and big hugs to you all, thanks for stopping by. Lou. X

Shadow box cards

Brrrrrr! Good evening to you all, hope your all well, safe and warm during this very wintry period. Hardly been out all week, popped out today though, very slippery underfoot. My niece should of flown out to Morocco today for a weeks holiday, but couldn't as Gatwick airport is closed due to the weather conditions, her holiday company have told her to expect to fly tomorrow morning now at 8am, but I have my doubts. Will have to wait and see.

I have enjoyed doing some crafting this week, been making some shadow box cards. Love making these, they seem to come together so easily. I am attending Sir Stamps Molly Bloom class on Saturday morning and also the demo day they are having too. So I am really looking forward to them both. Will be nice to catch up with everyone.

Will post some more things soon, take care and keep warm Hugs Lou. X

Let it snow...

Hi to you all, hope you have had a good weekend. We have had a nice weekend, it is soon over though, although my husband Brian is on holiday this week, so we are going to finish the Christmas shopping.

My sister has had her operation and I am very pleased to report that she is doing well, and convalescing at home now.

This little shadow box card is my latest make, along with using the latest stamps I have bought. I just love this snowman, and the background scene, which lends itself nicely to this shadow box card. I also used these stamps on my last project.

Well will say goodnight now, as it is after 12 midnight. Love and hugs to all. Lou. X

Holidays are coming.....

Hello, how are you all? Well the holidays must be coming as the Coca-Cola advert is being screened reminding us all. How is the Christmas shopping going??? I am surprisingly organised this year, which is not like me at all.

Mind you I have to be organised really, as my Sister has had a big operation today bless her and is going to need all the help she can get bless her. So all hands on deck!!! Will be spending alot of time with her, you never know I might make a crafter out of her yet.

Just thought I would show you this little Christmasy box I made and some mini cards to go inside it. There are 6 little cards inside 2 each of 3 designs. I really enjoyed making it. Don't want to part with it now though. Anyway it's getting late so I shall say goodnight and God bless to you all. Thanks for looking, love and hugs, Lou. X

You are a great friend!

Good evening to you all, although it is rather late. Just wanted to catch up with you all. Hope you are all well. I can't believe we are in November, where has this year gone??? Had a couple of birthdays this month already, plus it's my cousin Grahams next week.

I always seem to struggle a bit with men's cards but will have to knuckle down and make him one. I have made my friend a birthday card for tomorrow, I used my new Hero Arts cling large flower stamp, I love it! Think I will get alot of use out of that. Thanks for stopping by to look, love Lou. X

Happy Crafting!!!!

Good evening to you all, hope this finds you all well. It's rather late but wanted to update my blog. It's been a busy week, we have celebrated my birthday and our 17th wedding anniversary as well. I had some Birthday money, so I bought myself a Zutter Bind It All, wow it's great and pink. Perfect!!!!

Had fun making my first notebook with it. Shall be making some more as stocking fillers I think. Happy crafting. Love& hugs Lou. X

The Wanderer Returns.

Well what can I say other than I am so sorry I have neglected my blog and followers for several months. Can't believe that summer is over and that autumn is here. Not sure where all the time has gone, other than we have been on holiday to Cornwall, and it was lovely. Never been before and we would certainly go back.

I do hope you have all been keeping well, and have enjoyed the summer. Our puppy Molly is over 6 months old now, will put some more recent photos of her on my blog for you all to see her. She is in my craft room with me as I sit typing this. She is looking for something to run off with and hide.

I have made two cards tonight, I know, I have surprised myself making two in one night. Lol. Got alot of catching up to do. Several birthdays this month, so made these two little book-like cards with a doulbe pocket inside to put either money, vouchers or gift card etc in. Hope you like them. Love and hugs to you all. Lou. X
