To Quote a Bear of Little Brain

 OK, I'm nearly caught up.  Today's theme over at The Alphabet Challenge is 'Q for Quote'  I actually dug out a really old stamp set for this one and did some real colouring!  

I love this quote and I'm glad I found the stamp set again as my great nephew has a birthday next month and he loves Pooh Bear.

It's going to be a cute Christmas

 Hello all.  Having had a fabulous week away with  my mum I came back to Will's cough and cold and I've been in bed all week, hence my late post.  Over at Cardz4galz we are looking for a 'Cute Christmas'.

I found a really sweet set from Clipartprintdesign on Etsy.  I have a whole bunch of super cute images to use.  I hope you like what I did with this one.

Thanks for reading.

Birthday wishes with a little purple

 Over at Cardz4guyz today we are looking for 'A birthday card with some purple'.  Should be a nice easy one.  I went through my purple scraps for this one.  Once I'd found some I liked I stuck them together and popped a printed topper on.  

The image is from a set on Etsy from by Digimonarch.  He looks like he's having a good birthday, doesn't he.

Please pop over and join the fun.

So Grateful - Thank you

 How often do you count your blessings.  When you do you will realise how much you have to be grateful for.  Recently, a couple of friends have found themselves in situations that no one would want to go through.  I hope that I have been able to help in some small way with both of them.  It has made me realise that I have so much to be thankful for and not to take things for granted. Thank the Lord that I am in a position to help others and not in need of help myself.

Anyway, it brings me neatly on to our new theme at Make My Monday. We are looking for 'Grateful/Thankful' cards and projects. 

I also have to be thankful to the person who left these gorgeous papers in the recycling shed and to Howard who rescued them for me.

Quilting a thank you

 Morning all.  Aren't the months going so quickly.  We have a brand new theme for you today over at Sparkles Monthly Challenge.  We would like to see your 'thank you' cards.  I made my card for my clever sister-in-law who went to Japan earlier this year.  She's a talented artist and was visiting lots of out of the way places to view Japanese arts and crafts.  She sent me a small box of beautiful washi paper.  I've used some of the papers on my project and done some Japanese Paper Quilting with them.  

I quilted some petal shapes and used them as a background for my large 'thanks' sentiment.

I hope you like my project and are inspired to join our challenge.

Thanks for reading.

Pick up a pumpkin

 Morning all.  We are up to 'P for Pumpkin' over at The Alphabet Challenge.  Such a seasonal topic for us this week.  I had to dig through my stash for some foam stickers I'd got for this one.  I kept it fairly simple and used autumnal colours.

I'm really happy with this one.  I hope you will join in with your pumpkin cards and projects.

Thanks for reading.

Shake it up

Afternoon all.  We have a fun new challenge for you today over at Cardz4galz . We would like you to 'build a snowman'.  I literally built mine from a decoupage sheet I had lurking in my stash.

Sorry about my picture. Dark nights mean I have to take photos in artificial light. I think he's kind of cute though.

Please pop over and join the fun.

Thanks for reading.
