Papertake Weekly Challenge


Well, I've finally plucked up the courage to enter this weekly challenge - a first for me!


The challenge this week was White Christmas. "To make a white Christmas card! You can use an accent colour or two if you like, but lots of white this time please!!"


This is my contribution - I've used blue and white Bazzill cardstock, the latter embossed with Cuttlebug snowflakes folder, silver card, Dovecroft ribbon and snowflake brads. The image is Penny Black coloured with Sakura and just a bit of glitter(!) and this is attached onto the sentiment with foam pads. The sentiment (Doodlebug) has been cut out with Woodware punches.

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...
