Spot The Difference No2

Ok. You seemed to like the first game so are you ready for another? Answers to the game No1 have now been published here.

So let the Frustration/ erm Fun begin.

Image is by QKR Stampede digi 15914 Christmas Snowman and is available to buy from their site .
Please note I have only coloured up one image. The two you see below are before  (altering) and after adding them.  Any variation is due to the lighting. Where I have changed a colour (or have I? That's for me to know and you to find) it will look distinctly different. 

Off you go then.  There are eight to find.  



Please do not use snopake (as I can't see it) on your screens  or put your answers below in a comment but SEND me a seperate  email to the address in the side bar. Heading up Game No2.  Open to all my current followers.  Goodie bags for the first correct answers. 


Appendage. 
We had a total of 8 winners. Thankyou to everyone  who emailed me their lists.
Here is the definitive list of the spot the differences in the second image..

1.    Christmas tree has a red bauble on it.
2.    Extra snowflake under Snowmans right hand.. 
3.    Green stripes on candy cane.

Mistletoe by Candle light.

Another two cards posted out with festive envelopes . I got through a lot of rolls of d.s. tape. I should have shares in the companies!

First card.
A digi image by The Stamping Boutique called 'Candle' coloured using my Graph'it and Promarkers. The sentiment is a Tonic die called 'Merry Christmas Wave.' The frame by Crafts -Too 'Rectangle dies.

Second Card.
Using a digi image by Just Inklined called 'Mistletoe' Coloured using the same pens as above.  The sentiment is a Britannia Die from Seasons Greeting Word set. Layered up several times for some depth. 

Now a few of you have solicitously asked the question so the short answer is yes he is here but at present is doing time in his isolation pod.!! 

Hugs
and 
Stay Safe like L'th.

Spot The difference No1.

Ok. I think it is time for us to have a little fun to take our minds off the current news items.
Below are two coloured images but the second one has 8 subtle changes to it.  Can you spot them?
Please do not list them in the comments below but send them to me in an email (to the address in the side bar) with the subject heading spot the difference no1. Open to all my current followers. The first correct list received will win a  surprise goodie bag. I will not be sending out till the new yr so items will not have a christmas theme just  items you can/will find useful in your crafting. 

Image is by QKR Stampede but no longer available on their site. 



Ready, Steady, Go!!!!


Appendage. 
We had a total of 9 winners. Thankyou to everyone  who emailed me their lists.
Here is the definitive list of the spot the differences in the second image..

1.    Christmas tree is now dark green.
2.    Enlarged snowflake at top. 
3.    Price tag difference. That's inflation for you. Gone from $7 to $17.
4.    Bobble on hat is now coloured.
5.    Snowman now has eyebrows.
6.    Extra nail on sale sign.
7.    Hat now has a stripped  band on it. 
8.    Tree trunk is longer.

There were variations given as to why the tree trunk (No8).  was different but as you all recognised it wasn't quite the same that was good enough. 

New game starts 9am 17th Dec.

Shut The Door Please.

Just rounding up showing the last of this years Christmas cards which have now all been sent/hand delivered. I had the bright idea of making the envelopes ( I never make standard size cards as I use cardstock.) from all of the freebie christmas card papers I have collected up over the past years. 86 cards later and the idea had worn a bit thin!! 
Here are just a few of them before I took to the post office for sending off.  Must admit they do look rather festive. 

Card No1. Uses a digi by Justinklined called 'Christmas Front Door'.  Coloured using a mixture of my Graph'it and Promarkers. The die cut flower is a stamp and die set by 'John Next Door'.  Frame is by Spellbinders  'Romantic Rectangle'. Sentiment a sticker from my stash. 

Card No2
Now I don't normally use the same image twice in a session of card making but I so enjoyed colouring this digi stamp up that I made an exception to my own rule and did it again using a different colourway which totally changes the appearance. Sentiment is a Tonic Die called modern Merry Christmas. I cut four times and layered up for depth.  The frame Die is by Crafts Too 'Rectangle Stitch Hole'
What do you think. 


Right I'm off to try and find an elusive  home Grocery slot. We drove past our local Sainsbury on Sunday morning whilst out hand delivering last of cards and the car park was heaving.  We didn't stop!!!

Then he was 12

It was Grandson No2's 12th Birthday last week and this was the card that I made for him. The Digi is by LOTV Oliver Studying and coloured using my Promarker pens. 
Sentiment and banner are from Clearly Besotted called 'Basic Banners' and the papers from my stash.
I made the card as an easel and below shows it sideways on. 

Phew all my Christmas cards are now finished, enveloped up and ready for posting.  If you receive a card from me be rest assured that the envelopes have all been adhered down using double sided sticky tape!!


Stay safe and well

Patchwork Rudolph

It is the last time this year for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show our makes. Shaz chose the theme of Use Die Cuts. My card is not very imaginative regards the die cuts but I am killing two birds with one stone (figuratively speaking)  as I quickly made this card this card up Saturday morning as it needed to go in with a parcel I was sending off to America. I had a late night Friday writing out all my cards for abroad so I could take to the post office Saturday afternoon on the way back from having my Flu Jab at the Dr's surgery.  Expect to feel rough for a day or two now so didn't want to sit and make another card so easy peasy die cuts it is. 

Image is my own design and the recipient will understand why she is receiving it!! (As soon as parcel arrives at its destination I can show you what else was included) Coloured using my Graph'it pens and three different coloured gel pens. The frame is by Crafts-Too Square Dies Scalloped Edge. The red die cut has been adhered to a green base card that has been 3d by adding thin strips of card stock underneath to raise it up.  Gold sentiment from my stash. 

I am scheduling this for Sunday. I had the flu jab put in the opposite arm to my Frozen shoulder but so far it is the frozen shoulder that is beginning to play me up!

The vaccine is on it's way 
but until then
Stay safe and well.

Twas The Night.

I love this digi image by Cute As A Button. I have coloured using my Promarkers and a silver Gel pen. 
The sentiment is a silver sticker from my stash.  Mounted onto white cardstock and then blue cardstock before adding to a white card base. 


This takes my card total to 72  so just a few personal ones to make now. 

Stay safe and well
