Christmas Mouse

Evening peeps

Something very spooky has happened tonight.  For the past week I have been thinking about contacting an old work colleague because of feeling down and he reminds me of happier times, but I decided I was being silly and didn't bother.  Anyway, I have gone onto my e-mails tonight and he has contacted me.  This isn't the first time, it happened last year when I was thinking about him, he must be able to read my mind.


Anyway, I have made another Christmas card tonight.  The digital stamp is called Christmas Wreath Mouse from Lemon Shortbread and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Christmas Snowflakes

Good afternoon peeps

I am beginning to think that taking on nights for 6 months was a really bad idea.  Their are four of us on the team, but the Section Leader overseeing is in a relationship with one of them.  We are getting more and more fustrated with the two of them.  It feels like myself and Phil are doing the bulk of the work.

We should all be starting at 8pm, but by quarter past the two of them are still out in the smoking shelter.  When they do come in, they spend the next half hour in the office, which is fine for the Section Leader because she has to do all the planning, but the other colleague needs to be out on the shop floor with us.


Anyway rant over, this is a Christmas card I made yesterday before I went into work.  Materials used are:

White card stock
Digital patterned paper
Die'sire Florence die
Die'sire Snow Is Falling die set
Marianne Designs Creatables Swedish Ice Star die set
Tattered Lace Christmas die
Metal snowflake charm
Blue pearl brads
Blue pearls
Crystal Glamour Dust glitter

My Little Polar Bear

Evening peeps

It has been another beatiful day today.  As part of my getting out and about goal, I decided to go down to Whitstable.  I love anything vintage or with a history and many people have told me I would love it there.

This weekend they have been holding their Beer and Oyster Festival, so it was very busy, not even much standing room left of the train.  I have to say it was a fantastic day and I found the most beautiful shop selling vintage style clothing.  Unfortunately, it well out of my price range, but it has brought back the excitement of making my own vintage style dresses, or should I say getting my Mum to make them for me.

Anyway, a nice bit relaxing this evening.  I have gone with a Christmas theme in my favourite Christmas colours of blue and red.  The digital stamp is called Polar Snow from Ching-Chou Kuik and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Red card stock
Tattered Lace Snowflake embossing folder

Miss Pineapple

Evening peeps

My son is not a happy bunny today.  He has taken on a summer job at his university, but because he is earning quite a bit, he has had emergency tax taken from him on the last to paydays.  He will get it back because he won't earn the yearly tax threshold, but he will have to wait until next April.  I told him to get use to it because he will spend the rest of his life paying tax.


Anyway, I have made a quick birthday card this afternoon.  The digital stamp is called Pineapple Sprite from Aurora Wings and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Baby Congratulations

Evening peeps

It has been so hot this week and I have had to sleep through most of it, although I will say that it has still be very humid through the night as well.  The hardest bit has been what to wear at work.  They turn everything off through the night so the shop floor gets very cold, thremals are a must, so one minute your cold and then you go on your break and your too hot.  I would never moan about the weather as I love the heat and the summer.
