Crochet

Cd Storage

Squiffy Advent

Good Evening,

Felling a little better today, was at doc's yesterday and got a nasal spray thingybob....thank goodness I havent got a chest infection....anyway I tried to make this advent calendar, they look so good on Angie's blog, I made the drawers myself, hence why they are a bit squiffy....was fun to make and hopefully once I get the matchboxes to play nice I will be making another 1.....thanks for popping by..take care & happy crafting xxLorsxx

Christmas tree

Hi,
 another sleepless night for me, slept a lot during the day yesterday, but I am feeling a bit better...thank god, onto my card, I used a square kraft blank card, matted and layered, used the memory box tree die with some papermania paper, memory snowflake and marianne snowflake dies, found the stamp amongst my clear stamp collection...added a few gems ....I'm away to look out some matchboxes today, I want to make my grandson & granddaughter an advent calendar...wish me luck ..lol...thanks for popping by...Lorsx

Santa

Hello,
thanks for popping by, It's been a hard week for me this week, I took very ill on Sunday with a nasty bug, and been laid up in bed since, however, took a turn for the better early hours of this morning, so I managed to finish this card that was started a week ago, I used kraft card square blank, added a panel of docrafts xmas paper, used the frame digital stamps from digistamp boutique, coloured with promarkers and used some fake snow for the hat and beard, I also used my marianne snowflake die along with my new memory box snowflake die, added a red gem from stash and the sentiment was from a penny black clear stamp set....Hope you have a great day, happy crafting ...Lorsx
