Little Claire November Club Stamp - It's A Cracker!!!

Good evening, I have a couple of my samples to show you today using the FABULOUS new stamp 'A little bird told me' from Little Claire which is available to buy from today. It is the November Club stamp and not only can it be used as a birthday image but a great Christmas card too. I have to say that this image is my favourite out of all of them, and I do have rather a lot of their stamps, lol!

I have made a fridge magnet/tag as above, using a Little Claire Scallop Dies, Blue Bazzill Swiss Dot Cardstock, MS Artic Snowflake Punch, White Card Candy and coloured in with Promarkers and covered in Cosmic Shimmer. The ribbon is from a beautiful set of dotty ones from QVC.

The card above was made using the Scallp Amazing Frames from Little Claires, Red Bazzill Cardstock, Imaginisce Striped Candy Paper, Petaloo Flowers, Kaisercraft Green Stones. Again, coloured in with Promarkers and covered with Cosmic Shimmer.

Girls went back to school today, I missed them but am so glad for some time to myself.

Have a lovely evening!

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday???

Good morning, its Wednesday again! Time for all of you keen crafters to flash your stash, lol! Julia @ Stamping Ground started this craze and numbers are increasing weekly. I managed fifty blogs last week, then my pc froze, thanks as always to all of you lovely peeps that leave me messages, I love receiving them!

To my desk, well not alot happening I must admit. Having the girls home on half term always puts my MOJO on the back burner and CoCo is a little pickle, into everything, so cardmaking has just hasn't happened. My MOJO had better come from somewhere, as on my desk today are, Halloween stamps, I have to do a card using one of these, (please leave a comment telling me which one I should use, I just can't choose, thanks), Lili of the Valley stamps, my tote, papers and embellies. Oh and a little cat called CoCo!, she just loves my craft room lots of play with! I actually ran out of glue this week, can you believe it? I am normally so organised and have two of everything, but then remembered that Georgia has been making this huge Greek temple for a class project, and yep she has used all of it. Only double sided tape left, had to go out and get supplies today, wow glue is expensive!

We had a sleepover last night, well should be no-sleepover, so when I have typed this, I am off back to bed while they are all sleeping, to catch up on mine lol! It was great fun though, sweets, 'St Trinian's' DVD and facepacks lol!

Have a great day, looking forward to seeing all of your desks,

hugs

Totally Papercrafts Challenge # 39 - 'Stick A Number On It!'

Hello, thank Crunchie it's Friday!! Half term again here, lots of lovely lie-in's next week, cannot wait! Well, the girlies will lie in but Molly will be bashing me on the nose at 6am each day, wanting her breakfast, lol! Thanks for all of your lovely comments regarding CoCo, she is doing really well thanks. It's so lovely to know that there are so many cat lovers in blogland. She is off to the vets next week for her first lot of injections and she is starting to put weight on, so all is good. She absolutely loves my feet and enjoys chewing my toes, I know, cheesey feet! But she is into sleeping on my feet, so think that is rather sweet, if not a little painful, lol!

Anyway to the challenge, it's the turn of the lovely Joey to host our challenge this week over at Totally Papercrafts . As you can see from the title, we want to see numbers of some sorts on your creations. Please can you make sure you get rid of your word verification when you enter via Mr Linky, thanks.

To my card, I have used a wonderful little die that my friend Allie gave me for my birthday, it just happen's to be from Little Claire's, which as you know I love anything from them. I found some large numbers in my box and have cut around it, embossed with a CB folder and have added some Bazzill Cardstock in lilac & pink. Some fabulous Craft Creations purple patterned paper and some bling from stash. The sentiment is from a fabulous set by the lovely Paula Pascaul.

Georgia is off to tea with her best friend today, so no school run for me for over a week, am going to enjoy the peace this afternoon, CoCo permitting and make some cards.

Enjoy your afternoon, thanks for stopping by!
