My December Scrapbook ..............

Hi everyone, well I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.  I had a great time at my sister's and I was pain free too so that was wonderful!

I finally got round to taking some pictures of my December Scrapbook to share with you.  This is the second year that I have taken Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas Online Scrapbooking Class.  I love Shimelle's classes and this one is my favourite.  Shimelle sends you prompts each day for the class as well as a photo prompt.  Sometimes I follow the prompts and sometimes I just journal about what we have done each day. 

So this is day 1 in my Xmas Scrapbook which is Grace and her cousin Anya with their Advent Calendars. I'm doing well this year I'm up to day 12 already.  I'm still working on last year's album as well and I'm up to day 19 on that one! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Winter Wonderland Challenge..........

Hi everyone,  I'm still not ready for Christmas!  I still have more wrapping to do, it's the same every year I always leave it till the last minute.  So my plan is for me and Will to get it all done tonight hopefully with 2 of us it won't take too long as we have done some already.   

I'm off to have acupuncture tomorrow to help with my headaches. They are off and on at the moment but I'm hoping the acupuncture will help me be pain free for Christmas.   Who would have thought all I want for Christmas is to be pain free!  Shame you can't wrap that up and put under the tree!

Anyway enough of my rambles for one day and onto my card.  This week our challenge at Winter Wonderland is 'Wish Upon a Star'.   Your card can be Christmas or Non Christmas this week so I have gone for non Christmas and used an old Pollycraft image that I thought would be just right for our theme this week.

I hope you are all getting on well and prepared for Christmas more than I am!  Thank goodness I dont' have to cook Christmas dinner! 

Thanks for stopping by.

My Sister Layout .........

Hi everyone, well my blog has been a  bit quiet lately, I've been super busy and also still struggling with my headaches.    Anyway I finally found a layout I made a few weeks ago to share with you.  This layout is all about my lovely sister Kerry.  She brought me a little card for my Birthday which said 'I love you Sister' so I thought the perfect place to keep it safe would be on a scrapbook page. 

I have actually started my Christmas journal tonight so I hope to have some pages of that to share with you soon. Of course I still I have last year's Christmas journal to finish but hey it's all work in progress!

Thanks for stopping by.

Food Glorious Food

Hi everyone, this week's challenge at Winter Wonderland, is 'Food Glorious Food'.   This challenge made me get my thinking cap on but I found this cute little Tatty Image and thought he would be just perfect with his mince pies.  I think it must nearly be time to start buying the mince pies!

I hope you will join in with this week's challenge there are some fantastic prizes up for grabs!

Thanks for stopping by.

A Little Confession!

Hi everyone, I have a little confession to share with you tonight. I was sent an Ebosser machine last week by Crafter's Companion to do a demonstration with on Saturday.    I was looking forward to trying out the machine but I didn't need one as I already have 2 manual die cutting machines but what I didn't expect was that I would fall in love with the machine and couldn't bare the thought of sending it back! So I had to buy it!   I had a great day demonstrating it to lots of lovely crafters.  This is one of the cards I took along to the demonstration. This is an 8 x 8 card and the embossing folder I used on the card is an A4 one that comes with the machine.   So now I need I to sell the other 2 machines I have or Will says my craft room will be coming through the ceiling due to the weight!  Maybe I need to spread out into his garage, I think that maybe a divorce so better not go with that idea!

Thanks for stopping by.
