An empty jam jar.

At our last crafty natter, Julia gave us a really difficult challenge in the form of two stamped,empty,jam jars and a mask for them, when I went into the craft room after my holiday there they where sitting on the desk waiting...........so here's what I did - I put a digi stamp fairy into the jar and made a sort of easel shaker card without the shaky bits!!

Venetian Views!

We really loved Venice so just a few more pics!!, St Marks Basillica which was so beautiful, a view of St Marks Square from the water and - another Gondola!

Feels like a Laundry!!

A lovely holiday but back to the washing etc, I think I've brought mine and someone elses - did we really take all those clothes?? This cruise was quite eventful in that having had a smooth crossing of the Bay of Biscay we hit the Mediterranean in a force 9 gale with waves that broke some of the windows on deck 5 of the ship,it also meant that we could not go to Malta as the sea was too rough for the ship to go into Valetta harbour, the upside of this was having an overnight stay in Venice -the photo's show a very rough sea, a Venetian Gondola and one of the lovely shop windows in a street off St. Marks square.
I must get all the clothes etc sorted, the housework done and my craft room tidied before I start on a project or even christmas cards - that's my promise to myself - will I keep to it??

Steampunk story book.

At our last craft and natter our friend Barry gave each of us three die cut pages to decorate so after a brief panic I decided on steampunk and used printed images,stamps and diecuts to decorate the pages,I thought a dictionary definition of Steampunk was a good centrepiece for the front page. At the moment I'm not doing too much in the craft line as I'm getting ready for my upcoming holiday,and when we get home the first job is to TIDY the craft room!! hopefully.

A 'Girly' Christmas

Another christmas card for my stash, this one to fit in with the Winter Wonderland challenge with the theme 'Girly', well this LOTV stamp is definitely my favourite girly for this christmas even tho' I've only used her once before.

Anything CAS goes !!

This is the theme for week 33 of the Less is More challenge so I'm hoping that my embossed and diecut embellished chrismas card will fit the bill, it does have plenty of white space!

The Inventor!

Another 'mild' steampunk card, made for a crafting friend, I was worried that she would think it too masculine so before I sent it ( and after i'd taken the photo) I added some bling to the cogs in the form of gems and I think it feminised it a little.
