Wednesday Words

I'm thinking it's going to be a bit quiet here on my blog until the New Year. I'm pretty much taking a break from card making as my time is increasingly taken up by the festive season and time is running out to get organised!

Today's share is going to be some of my December Non-Daily pages.

So we've been on a journey to visit Santa and tell him our wishes:

And we've got out in the garden to plant the baby Christmas tree that was part of his present:

I'm still enjoying creating these digital pages and love how quickly they come together. All the digital supplies are from Designer Digitals and most are Katie Pertiet.

Thanks so much for dropping by today. I hope to be back to share some more pages soon and who knows maybe even the odd card too. And as always keep crafting!

Let's December Daily Days 25 - 28

It may be New Year's Eve, but today I'm sharing my Christmas Day pages over at Let's December Daily. And here's some little peeks of what can be found there and a few extra photos too.

Day 25

Day 26

Day 27

Day 28

The first of a bonus extra few days with the Isle of Man grandboys - nope not the ferry or weather this year but their car. My son had to fly back for work, leaving Jo and the boys here until their car has been towed away to the garage to be mended. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Thanks for dropping by today, so pleased to have your company.  And keep crafting!

Let's Decemebr Daily Days 22 - 23

Today at Let's December Daily I'm sharing my next three pages of my December album.

Now all the razmatazz is over, but my memories are still lingering on in my December Daily and I've still another week of pages to create and share. 

Did you get round to starting a daily record? No worries if you didn't, just gather up your photos and stick them in chronological order onto some patterned paper, add a label or two and hey presto your album is done!

Thanks for your time today, I really appreciate your visit.  And get those photos sorted, your future self will be so grateful you kept crafting!

 Day 13

My day 10 page is all about the tags I made using my new 2016 colours. This is how I went about making them:

I collected together all my supplies -  aqua and dotted green cardstock, an array of washi tape and a tag die.

I cut strips from the card a little wider than the die, drew a line where the top and bottom of the die would be and then added the washi across so that there would be four strips per tag.

I die cut all the tags and piled them up and punched the holes using my crop-a-dile.

I stamped the Merry Christmas greeting and added some brown twine. All three main colours plus the red on each tag, YAY!

Hope you enjoyed my post today and will pop on over to Let's December Daily to check out the rest of my album pages. 

Thanks so much for visiting. And I'm sending you Christmas sparkle!

Let's December Daily - Days 6-9

Today at Let's December Daily I'm sharing my pages for days 6 to 9. Here's a little taster of what's there:

Day 6 - the story!

Well the plan was to put up all the outside decorations on the 5th - but that didn't happen! Instead we spent the afternoon in A&E keeping my son and grandson company. He'd (grandson) had a bit of a mishap on a slide on the 4th and couldn't put his left foot down. Turns out there was a fracture.

Too dark by the time we got home and I was going on a shopping trip with a friend on the 6th, then child minding duties for the following three days - it was looking like bad news for the decorations. So I got up extra early on the 6th to sort them out before I had to leave for the train. And boy was it damp, foggy and cold that early in the morning, my fingers were completely numb by the time I'd finished.

And in case you're wondering why my husband didn't do them, he's still recovering from a back operation, but he did allow me to lean on him as I tottered up the step ladder! A glass of wine was very much appreciated at lunch time!

Possibly the tallest tree I've ever seen at the outdoor ice rink - and no I didn't skate!

Thanks for visiting my blog today, I hope you'll find time to pop over to Let's December Daily too.

And I'm sending you Christmas sparkle!
