Moonbeam Meadow Santa's Delivery Sneaky Peek

Hiya!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. Today has been the start of my dog sitting duties, as my parents are away for a couple of weeks, so I have to contend with a very large German Shepherd (a gentle giant btw!), a 3 year old, a husband who is convalescing, 2 houses and a full time job! So wish me luck! 

Anyway, back to crafting and whilst I've got the chance (!) I just wanted to share with you another of my Moonbeam Meadow makes. This one I used the Santa's Delivery stamp and coloured him up with my Spectrum Noir pens.

Back with some more Moonbeam Meadow

Hey everyone! 

Hope you've all had a good day! I've been working at home today, as I've had to take my husband into hospital (only for a minor operation) and he's now convalescing watching the preview to the Ryder Cup! So while all things are quiet thought I'd pop on and share another card I made for the forthcoming Moonbeam Meadow launch on Create and Craft.


This is a card using the Christmas Paper Kit and Christmas Inserts. The quality of the card in the kit is second to none and the images are beautifully gold foiled.  

The kit will be available to buy on Monday on Create and Craft together with plenty of other goodies including a double CD (Everyday and Christmas) and 12 stamp sets! 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Crafter's Companion - August Challenge - All About School

Evening everyone! 

Hope you are all well! I've been awol for a couple of weeks, because I have been soooo busy at work! There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel and I'm looking forward to a few days off next week.

Although a little late in the month I'm back today with a card I made as a member of Crafter's Companion Challenge Team for this month's theme "All About School", which you can enter here with the chance to win a £30 gift voucher! 


Using my Ultimate Pro I made a book pencil case. I had so much fun making the backing paper by splattering paint everywhere! The topper is from the Party Paws CD. 


I used a piece of ribbon to tie the pencil case together. I decided to put pencils in my book, but you could fill it with sweets for a gift or use it as a secret hiding place on the bookshelf! 


The full list of ingredients I used for the card:

Party Paws CD – Topper – Design 10
Verse Writer – Font – Kids “Pencils”
Co-ordinations
Centura Pearl
Ultimate Pro
Split Pins
Ribbon
Card
Paints & brush
Glue (All)
Dies’ire – Grace Frame

I hope you can come and play with us! I look forward to seeing all of your creations.
