Christmas will soon be here.....

Just a few more Christmas cards for you to see.  Only 4days to go and no one will want to think about Christmas till next year.  We have been so lucky, we have had no snow. All around us is awful, we are like a little Oasis amid the chaos.

Second overall winner

Well I didn't win Craft Stamper Competition but I did come second. How cool is that. I am over the moon.
Below are my two entries.

Craft Stamper Competition

As I have heard nothing from Craft Stamper I have not won anything this time. Boo Hoo, never mind there is always next year. I'm very grateful that I was short listed. I look forward to seeing the winners in the next magazine out on Friday.

Cornish Christmas Cards.

Here are a few of the Cornish Christmas Cards made for the Cornish Shop in Falmouth including my Chough. I had a bit of a problem when drawing this as it kept looking like a penguin!

More Christmas Cards.

Craft Stamper.

Wow, I just had an email from Katy Fox, editor of Craft Stamper Magazine to say I have been shortlisted for stamper of the year!  I cant belive it!!!

Below are three cards I made last Saturday at a Stamping Up Day held in Wadebridge.  We made 6 cards in total, a very tiring but enjoyable day.

Christmas

Christmas comes around so quickly I thought it was time to get on and make some cards.  I made the Wise Men cards using a stamp I bought from a friend and K&Co papers.

These two cards I made using felt shapes purchased from the Range.  I thought they may look a bit heavy but I think they look ok.

Couldn' wait to use my new Stamping Up stamps so here are three quick cards.

New Stamping up Stamps

Just a few new cards that I have had time to photograph this month.

This Card is made out of fabric and so is the next one.

The next card was stamped using inkadinkado stamps

I love looking at other peoples work space's so I thought I would publish mine.  I have to admit it's not usually so tidy.  I try to tidy up once a week or you wouldn't be able to get through the door.

Well it's nearly year since I last posted a blog. It just shows how busy I 've been.

I'm still teaching at my Tuesday card class and I decided to go to an art class on Thursdays. I have a new outlet for my cards in Falmouth and our card class has started selling cards at the Betjamin Centre in Wadebridge in aid of the Childrens Hospice South West. So all in all, along with several bouts of ill health my blog has taken a back seat.

So here are a few of latest creations.

The card above was created using one of my waterclour paintings which was scanned and layered.
