Happy Monday!

 Hi! Start of another week and I'm carrying on from my craftiness yesterday.  Sticking with these gorgeous stamps by Tracey Hey.

Love this little guy and he was so easy to colour! 




 

It's colder today, the winds from yesterday seem to have passed but its just kind of grey and miserable.  So I might have to turn up the volume on the happy tunes and do some more colouring! 


Happy days everyone!

Play time

 Hi!

It's Sunday play time.. and for the first time in ages I've not found myself procrastinating!  So with my playlist on, and the desk still pretty messy, I found my folder full of Tracey Hey stamps and got the alcohol markers out!  Coloured this little guy, cut him out and just went for a pretty simple layout.  I'm really loving the colour combo! 

I hope, wherever you are, you're enjoying your Sunday and living your best life.  There are reminders all around us that we should take nothing for granted.

Here he is....



Have a lovely day!

Early Valentines

 Hi!   What a wild day it is today - storm Isha rocks huge parts of the UK.  There's no trains running today.. and I'm very glad I don't have to go anywhere!  I thought I would have a little play in the craft room today.  I really still need to try and tidy it up.  The main problem at the moment is finding things.  The ideas are there but the mojo disappears with the thought of having to hunt for whatever it is I need! 

I did make a little card to use up some scraps on my desk though.  I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.  Just a little bit of colouring which was really relaxing! 


I'm going to enter this little guy in the following challenges:


Have a lovely day!

Happy Sunday!

 Hi! and happy Sunday! 

I hope everyone is having a lovely day!  it's been a lazy one here.. some crafting and a trip to the beach.  It was kind of cold and not that bright, and the sun started to set around 3:45pm. Got a pic with my phone, and you can see Edinburgh in the background. 


Crafting today was a couple of projects to use up some of my double sided 6x6 papers.   These little booklets are a Z fold and have four or five little flaps or pockets to hide pictures, messages, tags or even to be used to give a gift card or money. I found a tutorial on YouTube a while back (and now can't find it again! but if you are stuck for ideas it's a great place to go!) Great fun to make and no scrap is too small when it comes to making embellishments for them too!  You need 1 full sheet of 6x6 and then a 3 3/4x5 and a 3x5.  These create the Z fold then you just add any extras for little pockets and embellishments.  There's really no right or wrong to this and you can just do your own thing.  Handy to have in your stash for a gift or mini book! 


Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
