First Time in a While

 So I haven't updated this thing in forever, honestly, I've not done much crafting in a while and when I have I haven't bothered to publish or enter in challenges. But lately, I've felt like I want to get back into it more regularly - I've been struggling with mental health and crafting was one of the things I loved that really helped with that at one point, so I'm hoping that it can help me now.

Since it's been such a long time, I had a look for a few challenges to help me get the mojo going. My first attempt we won't even talk about (no really, lol) but this one I was happy enough with considering it's probably at least a year since I've touched any of my craft stuff in any serious way.

Christmas Card, with robin image.

I used the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches.


I'd also like to enter it for:
Crafty Gals Corner - #245 Christmas in July

Hope to get back to some sort of regular posting here!

Tinsel in a Tangle

  I just love this cute image and sentiment from Jan's digital stamp shop, I've had it printed forever just waiting to be used. Coloured with my promarkers. The paper is from the Classic Christmas Pad from make&create. I added some twine, gems and a couple of light bulb embellishments.

Warm Wishes

  The sketch from Jingle Belles immediately caught my eye this week and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I cut the circle and hexagon on my cameo, on kraft card and papers from hobbycraft, but the cup is fussy cut from stampin up's perfect blend set. I used white base, kraft card over the cup parts and a spare scrap of paper for the sleeve. The sentiment was from a Marianne Design set I got in a magazine a million years ago. This is probably the first time in ages I've made a card without using my promarkers or without... adding gems! *gasp* - I honestly planned too, but I thought it didn't really need them.

Have A Great Day

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).
