Is there anybody still there?? Sorry for the long unscheduled abscence, we are all okay, crafting just got pushed to the bottom of the pile before and over Christmas but now it's time to drag this little crafting place into 2013 and wish you all a Happy New Year...... I'm sure you're all sick of looking at that Christmas card in my last post just as much as I am too :0)
Anyhow, it was the one layer challenge this week at Less is More that caught my eye, probably because I don't have a wide choice of stamps that come under the exercise/sport theme but this cute and rather neglected stamp came to mind...
Now this looks like my kind of exercise... it's certainly what James loves doing in our garden although not today because the trampoline is covered in snow, although if you're wrapped up well that could be quite an interesting spectacle!!!
I dug my Prisma pencils out to colour these fun-loving hedgies from Little Claire and apart from a slight smudge of colour I'm kind of happy with the result seeing as I haven't used them for a while.
Not really sure how to do sky with Prismas but I think it'll pass for a bit of blue :0)
Sentiment is from this set by Imagine that
I also wanted to share the news that I'm joing the DT at Craft Stamper magazine :0) I was so excited to recieve an email from Katy Fox a couple of months ago and now it's been officially announced here I can tell you all too..... I'll be joining some talented designers including Chrissie to bring some CAS stamping to a couple of new features, how exciting :0)
I have posted a few cards on the Make the Day Special website over the CHristmas period that I just never got round to showing you so I thought I'd pop them in here.
The first three are all using Paper smooches stamps and the last are Avery Elle stamps, all available in the store here and check out the blog here
Well that's enough from me... time for lunch and then a dog walk in the snow and it's just started to fall again!! What fun :0)
Thanks for looking and promise it wont be so long til the next post!!
