Happy New Year!!!!

Hi folks... No, don't worry... You haven't dropped off to sleep and woken up 37 days later and missed Christmas and New Years Eve 2014 altogether!! It's just the title I've given to today’s post which consists of this week’s Creative Expressions Design Team Project...
It's the last one to feature their Dancing Stamps...., as I have new goodies to play with for my December projects....

So, New Years Day Luncheon che Pinnacles will have a Strictly Come Dancing theme... Well, it is being held at Joanne's (Sister) house... Her house, her rules....

So, we have crackers for the Men in the family

and for the ladies......

And for a very special lady.... Yes, even Holly the Dog has her own New Year Cracker.....

Well, like everyone else in the family, she has a Christmas Day cracker too...
In fact, I think I am all Cream Crackered out!!!
I hope you've enjoyed this Month’s Creative Expressions Design Team Posts and that they have given you some inspo to put your Stamps to good use?
Thanks for checking us out.
See you soon.
Andy.

Making use of a few odds and ends....

Hi folks.. Well, it rarely happens, but I have actually finished a project made from 3 un finished projects! Does that make sense??

The Wreath and Bell were part finished samples from our Steampunk Christmas lesson a couple of weekends ago, and the Jingle Bells Sentiment was from last weekend’s Pan Pastels lesson!!.. Nothing inspired me at the time to use them individually, and they were too good to throw away or get lost in the ether! But together, I think they just about work!!!??
What will I find next that I didn't realise I had already made or sort of started??
Thanks for checking us out. See you soon.

Wooden Poinsettia's....

Hi folks...
Last sample from the weekends Christmas Workshop for you today..
In my last post, I said it was a little difficult to take a picture of the project, as it had so much Mirror card on it, reflection was a problem..

So, today’s project has the bare minimum of Mirror card, but a whole lot of wood, which makes a nice change???
Thanks for checking us out. See you soon.

Hi folks.. Last sample for tomorrows Christmas workshop!!

Don't think I've ever used sooo much Mirror card on one project!! Ah, who am I kidding!! I'm a Mirror card fiend!! But it does make it a little difficult to photograph (reflection)!! Still, I have an idea today to try and rectify that!! Will show you next time, if it works out that is!!
Thanks for checking us out, see you soon.

Time for a change...

... of colour way that is!! Hi folks.. Well, the Red and White Boot in my last post seems to have gone down a storm I thought I'd chance my (colouring) arm a bit and use it with something a bit more vintage...
So, tones of Brown and Cream for this one, or should that be Chocolate and Cream?!!

It's always about food with me.!! Well, not just me. Have you noticed how many crafting products, particularly Inks are named after foods? Guess who ever named them might have been a bit peckish at the time!!
Thanks for checking us out.
See you soon.

Making use of ....

... an oldie, but a goodie!
Hi Folks. Just to ring the changes a bit and save you getting bored with the Gilded Wreath projects, I thought I'd share with you a card that proved to be rather popular at last weekend’s Club Members Event!.

The project allowed me to play with a few new bits and pieces and also to use an old fave!! "Just love the embossed Glittered Vellum in the Background". We've had it in the shop on and off for about 3 years now, I doubt there are many paper designs out there which have stood the test of time as well as this one..
So, as I said in the title....."An oldie, but a goodie"!!
Thanks for checking us out. See you soon.
