O'Tannenbaum


Well the hot and summery weather has turned cool so my thoughts go to Christmas crafting! I decided to link up with Simon Says Wednesday challenge...anything goes




This has to be my favourite Christmas stamp set, a Simon collaboration with Clearly Besotted. I borrowed it from a friend. I wish it was still available! I love how you get a different effect every time with distress markers on watercolour paper. Very cool. Some snowy paste dots really set the scene.

thanks for dropping by!

You're the best!


I have been keeping to my promise to sit at my craft table at least once a week. I needed a thank you card so here is what I came up with...




I popped up a little jar under Hero Art's gorgeous layered bouquet. I embossed the MME jar on vellum. Love how that looks! I also popped up the entire white panel and the little tag. It says "you're the best" but since it is in very pale blue ink, I know it is hard to see.

I linked up with Simon Says Wednesday challenge...Pop It Up.  

thanks for stopping by!

Just Saying Thanks


Helllloooooo...I have been a bad blogger lately! With the "back to school" routine starting this month, I thought I would try to get back to my craft table more regularly.

Here's a little thank you card I made.





I coloured up some WPlus9 flowers with my Peerless watercolours. I love how the Simon Says banner really ties everything together.

I linked up with Simon's Wednesday challenge...clean and simple...just my style!

thanks for stopping by!
