Hello.
It's almost time to deck those halls, and I'm excited.
Last year was a bit chaotic, as we hadn't long moved into this house.
This time, I will be more organised - hopefully :o)

Hello.
Today I'm playing with these little, holiday, die cuts again.
They are so much fun, and there are so many different ways to use them.
Hello.
When do you put your Christmas tree up?
I am itching to get all my decs out of the loft, but the family keep screaming that it's 'too early'.
For now I'll make do with these cute, critters decorating their tree :o)
Hello.
I missed the Freshly Made Sketches deadline last week, duh! -
so here I am, getting my entry in with plenty of time left on the clock. :o)
Hello.
I've had another attempt at a nutcracker card today.
I am NOT the most delicate person, so holding these tiny die-cuts with tweezers,
adding the glue, and then sticking them down in the perfect spot, does not come easy to me.
I need more practice.
Hello.
I'm playing along with the As You Like It Challenge today,
where they would like to see your favourite critter.
My favourite has to be a dog. We are a family of dog owners.
My partner in crime is Buster, (a border terrier) and we have Ollie (a puggle) and Indie (a staffy)
So I am very partial to a dog stamp.
Hello.
My daughter got an allotment last week. It's a jungle.
Clearing it is hard work, but lots of fun. My 2 grandsons (3 and 2) had a great time digging in the dirt looking for worms :o)
So, this is a 'congrats on your allotment' card - that's a thing right? :o)
Hello.
Social media seems to be one long video of new products at the moment. With everyone trying to get us to buy the next, big release. I wish I had the budget!
I need to remember that older products are just as good.
These Arctic penguins were released back in 2014 - and I still love them.
Hello.
I definitely stalked Seven Hills Crafts when these nutcrackers came out, and I was lucky enough to get my hands on some.
Here's my first attempt with them.
Hello.
Today I'm playing with the Concord & 9th tree topper dies again,
but sticking with more traditional Christmas colours.
Ooh, I'm definitely not sure about this one.
I'm having fun with the AAAColourful Challenge, and I didn't want to miss one,
but their colour palette is more Halloween/Autumn this month, and I didn't need another card like that.
I gave it a try for a Christmas card.
What do you think? Yea or nay?
I die cut the baubles and pieced them together, then added them to a card panel with that bold, stamped sentiment.
Then I added the foliage. All the overhanging pieces were trimmed off.
There's a little touch of bling on there - just to give it a lift.
