Well as it is Wednesday i thought i would share some inspiration for Time For Tea.

Do you remember the post of the Kittys that had them all on well I thought i would share one with Just featuring one of the cats. Showing that although you can fit them all together standing alone they work just as well.

 I wanted this cutie to have  warm smokie tones. he looks so proud in his little dickie bow doesnt he!

the Dp is Bee Happy Dovecraft

Stitched a scallop circle dies and the tag has been stamped with the paws from the set

Some twine and some pearlized Dp to finish

Dont forget if your not into Cats we have a set with some fab puppies on and both have dies to go so no need to fussy cut them

Christmas at Craft Challenge

Morning another nice one here in Manchester.

Today CRAFT CHALLENGE is having there monthly Christmas challenge and with the Summer Holidays and schools all finishing or finished in the Uk we are extending this for 2 weeks instead of the 1 so lots of time to join in.

We are sponsored by CRAFTY SENTIMENTS

So here is my card I have kept is CAS with no embellishments just a little glitter and fluffy stuff for the snow. The stamp is called Fun In The Snow and is available from their shop HERE although I believe it is on pre order.

 image coloured with promarkers

Few snowflakes stamped around and some ink to shade the edges

DP matt is  called Frozen

Glitter and fluffy stuff

Sentiment i think is digi Stamp Boutique but was in a pile already printed so not 100% on that.

Well this is one for my box and as it is fairly flat will go as a normal stamp i need to make a few more like this as postage can be expensive at Christmas dont you think. maybe if I write them and add a few stamps it might all help lol.

Well as i said this challenge lasts for 2 weeks so hope that you can come and play along with us.

Off to add to a few challenges and get a few jobs done. 

Bye for now.

 Now dont you think these kitties are cute I wonder if their mum or day was a ginger tabby and i bet the other was a black cat

i have coloured the images with promarkers

Dp is from a very old pad

 The box one of the kitties in in has had paw prints stamped onto it

Also did you know that there is a set of dies to go with this set to cut your images out with.

The sentiments where stamped to make the saying

Well this is just 1 idea but i am sure you could come up with many as all the elements to customise your cards are there.

Oh did i say that Jo has some awesome Rubber stamps too that are larger in size so there is something for everyone. I cant wait to see the rubber ones as we only got to see the ones that she sent us.
