Merry Christmas to you !!!

Good morning to you all

Firstly I just want to wish each and every one of you a Wonderful Christmas and here's to a Healthy, Peaceful and Happy 2016.....

2015 has been a difficult year for us and what a start to the year with me being off work for 3 months after a operation then we had more difficult times ahead what with some of our Pets..... Poor Lucy who has Lymphoma having her weekly Chemo, then Jasper who was kicked and used as a Football, he was lucky to survive and then poor Toby who had an aggressive Tumour removed ..... But all I can say is we all survived it and I am just hoping that the next year will give us a break and is a touch kinder on us all.....

Anyway enough of all that...... I thought I would share with you my 2015 Christmas Cards that I finished by the skin of me teeth and just managed to get them in the post and delivered before Christmas, lol.....

So from me to you have a Super time and hopefully over the Christmas period I will get some more Crafty projects finished (If I stay awake long enough as I have lost so much sleep lately).....

All of the below cards were made using Lavinia Stamps Clear Stamps which I just adore and I lose myself in the creating these for hours so I hope they inspire you go have a go and create so lovely cards .....

Hobby Art Forest Friends - Printer Tray

Hello .....

I thought I would share with you my Hobby Art Forest Friends Printers Tray that Jenny today showcased on Create and Craft..... I was so surprised to hear the lovely comments just so heart warming..... Thanks Jenny and Create and Craft they really are much appreciated ....

I made this some months ago at one of Jenny Mayes Hobby Art Workshop and I hope you can tell from the photo's but I really enjoyed making this..... To be honest it is right up my street as I do adore "Fussy Cutting" which is detailed cutting and I could do this all the time as I totally loose myself in it.....

Jenny asked me if I could let her borrow this just to show everyone that at her Workshops Jenny and her Team plant the seeds of the project that we are doing but then we can go off home and as I call it "Faff" about with the project until you are totally happy with the results and Boy was I happy with this.... So much so I think I bought numerous Printers Tray to have another go and another and another, lol..... I do hope you managed to catch Create and Craft today where Jenny showed my little Printer Tray off to everyone....

We used the cute little character stamps called "Forest Friends" and here's the link so you can treat yourself to these, believe me you will not be sorry !!! http://www.hobbyartstamps.com/Forest-Friends.html ...... and which you are on the Website .... go on treat yourself to some of the other sets.....

Well here's my photos and as usual I have put many on here so you can see all the stamps I used.... I do hope you watched Create and Craft today as these photo's really do not do this justice as it is much prettier in real life !!!



















Thanks for stopping by today and hope to be back soon although I am so busy trying to complete my Christmas Cards that I promised I would start last January, lol....

Take care and thanks for your support

Lots of Love
