Fusible Film Bauble

I can't get enough of these bauble overlay stamps designed by Barbara Gray!

WOYWW 543: NEC Here I Come

Welcome fellow deskers to my weekly contribution to WOYWW care of Julia at The Stamping Ground.  Here desks from all around the world can be ogled and envied, messy ones, tidy ones and everything in between.

As you can see, I have been doing a little more work on the Advent Book that I started at a Workshop with Maria Moorhouse recently.  The matchboxes are all now glued together, ready to turn into the daily drawers of the book.  Maria's workshops are well worth attending.  She has one each month in Preston, one in Catterick and the one I attend in Shrewsbury.

Over the last three days I have been sharing the full projects from my sneak peeks last week.  I shall be sharing the last two tomorrow and Friday before I head off for an early train to the NEC.  I won a couple of tickets and decided to go on Friday as it is half term.  Hope to see some of you there.

Finally, the latest additions to the extended family.  My parents adopted some kittens and their mum from a cat rescue last month.  Pickles (top) is mum and the two kittens are Pearl(L) and Pixi (R).  They have settled in really well.  See you all soon.  I will have some time to visit today between samples as I am not at work this week.

Peace on Earth Bauble Trio

I used a second set of Barbara Gray's overlay bauble stamps to make this card.

Colourful Bauble on Kraft

For my second sample using the overlay bauble stamps I used one of the outline stamps only.

Purple and Blue Christmas Baubles

The new overlay baubles designed by Barbara Gray are simply gorgeous.  For my first sample I played with only one stamp, the masks and some Distress Oxides.

Wishing You Well: Farewell to A Colleague

Yesterday saw a colleague's last day at work.  I will be sad to see her go, as we have a shared interest in crafting and have also worked together with some classes.  I made this card for all her colleagues to sign and to remember us by.

Merry Christmas Card: Holly and Ivy

The first Christmas card of the year not made as a sample or at a workshop.  I had a play with some stamps from Clarity that I bought in the recent Christmas sale.
