Round Up.

Showing the last card made for the year which is for The Doc and has now been opened. 

The stamp is by Stampendous House Mouse Designs called ' Bearly Working' which  I thought was so apt (when I received from Mia in her last Birthday Bonanza.) as this is the view I invariably see when I look across the upstairs landing from my craft room across to The Doc's command centre  room.!! Coloured with my promarkers along with  bronze /silver gel pens. Sentiment a gold glitter sticker. 

Just leaves me to wish you all a Good Christmas albeit a very different one from what  most of us had envisaged having. 

As previously said there will be a special Bumper  Christmas Edition of the 'Spot The Difference' challenge going out tomorrow morning at 9am so when you have eaten your way through a leg and a breast of the Turkey, played musical chairs with just 2 chairs and pulled your crackers with your other half, come on over and see if you can spot  the 20 changes I have made to the drawn images.  Yes I did say 20.  I know you can do it. 

So until Tomorrow

Stay Safe and Well

and 

sharpen those  pencils.

Hugs

Christmas Cats and that Elf.

This card for Grandson No2 has been received now so I can show it. He loves cats. They have 3 at home. 

The digi is by Card Making Downloads called 'Christmas Cats' set 2. Coloured using my Graph'it Pens and three different gel pens. The Merry Christmas is a  set by Britannia Dies. Cut several times and layered up for depth.  The cat in the middle is very much like one of their cats  'Miss Piggy' and I used to have an odd eyed White Persian.

 Ok, ok, so I gave in !!. 

Whilst that isolation pod is escape proof it is not sound proof and after putting up with 2 days of him alternately crying, yelling, pleading and telling me he had really, truly learn't his lesson and would be good from now on and do everything he was told I made him a mask!

I am seriously loosing the plot here!!!

I am taking him over  to Pixies Crafty Workshop #393  as I only used a 4" square snippet of material.

There will be another Spot The Difference on Wednesday 9am so make sure you have a clean hanky and elastic in case your Big girls bloomers should let you down. 

Hugs

Stay Home and be Safe. 

Spot The Difference no 4

 For us here in the UK great swathes of the country have just  had our christmas festivities scuppered well and truly by the Covid Virus  mutating at a rate of knots across the countryside with lockdown measures moved up to Tier 4 to try and combat it. 

So to take our minds of it all, lets' blow our noses, pull our big girls bloomers up and have ourselves a little fun. Are you ready for Spot The difference. No 4?

Come on then. The answers to game No 3 have now been published Here.

The image is again by QKR Stampede  digi 23802 'Old Lady Snowman. Available to buy from their site.  (BTW. I am not on any commission from them, I have purchased these images  to use as  1. there is a whole set of them, 2. the theme is christmassy and 3. they are nice and clear with out too much detail already on them to muddy the waters so to speak.)

My goodness I did give you a run for your money with the last game.  The sticking point was the sneaky extra christmas tree with only 3 people getting a full 10 out of 10 first time round. With a bit of a nudge from me some more of you got there in the end though.  

You have 10 differences to find.

Clue. 

 Where some of you might be thinking for example that the pink pinny is a different shade this is not what you should be looking for. It is only one image that I have taken before and after photos of and subtle differences have been added to the second one. Shading is not one of them. 

Go have yourself some Fun.

Please do not put your answers below in a comment but SEND me a seperate  email to the address in the side bar. Heading up Game No 4.  Open to all my current followers.  Goodie bags for the first correct answers. They are beginning to get stuffed full here.

News Update. 

I am not quite sure he has grasped the concept of the game yet. He is still on #1 and hasn't got one answer right!!

It is keeping him quite though.

He has done his 20 days isolation today and I told him he could come out if he wore his mask

!

" But I haven't got a mask " he said.

Well that settles it then!!

We are in  for a quiet christmas. 

Stay Safe in your own Bubbles.

Poinsettia Fun.

First two cards are more of the last ones made for this yr and not shown yet. 

1st card is a digi by  Little Claires Design called Poinsettia Corner.  I do like to see them on christmas Cards. 

I have coloured using my Graph'it and Promarker pens  and gel pen.  I coloured two images up and then

fussy cut  the large poinsettia out and adhered to the first image raising up to give a 3d effect. 

Sentiment is aTonic die Modern Merry Christmas. 

Second Card. is  another digi by Little claire Designs called Poinsettias.  Coloured with my Graph'it pens and promarkers plus a gold gel pen.  I then die cut is using Spellbinders A2 Floral Ribbon Threader. The sentiment is again the  Tonic die Modern Merry Christmas.

Then I was tidying up my desk from doing all the christmas paper  envelopes and had a pile of small snippet strips over. Well I couldn't just  throw them in the bin  could I,  so I sorted into colours and made up the following  5 sheets  by adhering using ds tape to use as backgrounds ready for next yrs cards. 

Then another idea popped up as they do. Why not use one of the sheets and die cut a sentiment and a poinsettia flower from it so I did!  Then following on from that idea why not use the matching embossing folder and make a card up for  the current  Let's Squash It challenge so I did just that.  

So my card is using a die cut by Chloe Endean Designs that has a matching Embossing folder.  I embossed a sheet of white linen stock card and then used one of the sheets from above to die cut the poinsettia die and also the sentiment.  I adhered the flowers more or less over the matching embossed flowers and then added the sprigs of holly randomly onto the background. The 3 red pearls were also out on my desk so waste not want not. 

Here is a picture of the embossing folder and matching die cut. 

Entering this card into the following:

Let's Squash It #3  Use any embossing folder and die cuts or fussy cutting. 

Pixie's Crafty Workshop #392 Use up your snippets (so I did!).

Stay Safe. 

We are not out of the woods yet.
