Peekaboo Christmas Bear (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We had a very hot one here in Melbourne, Australia, it was 35 degrees and we still cooked a 6.5kg roast turkey with all the trimmings!!

I have had a bit of crafting time so have made a few cards to show over the coming week, the first ones are all Christmas ones so will be going in my stash for next year's card giving. 

This card was inspired by the cute image from Bugaboo, he looks like he's peeking around the corner so I just had to create the card this way. The gorgeous sentiment is by DigiStamp Boutique.

Christmas Girl on bench (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty friends,

This is my last card of the night and I always leave my favourite until last. I loved how the red snowflake background paper looked against the sparkly glitter paper. There is a black border around the card but very difficult to see in this photo. This is an all in one stamp - the girl on the bench with the Christmas tree - isn't it adorable? You can find it at Bugaboo

Well, that's it from me now except for the occasional extra Christmas card I might make if I find time. I am sure I'll blog before Christmas but if not I hope all my lovely followers (and visitors) have a wonderful and safe Christmas, enjoying some quality time with friends and/or family. Love to you all XOX

It's a Doggie's Christmas card (Bugaboo image)

Hi crafty friends,

I think this image and sentiment from Bugaboo are hilarious, I'm not a dog lover but this made me giggle and it was perfect to use on my mum and 2 friends who are all dog lovers. I used some Liquid Pearl for the snow drops and Fluffy Stuff for his hat and the snow.
