The Greeting Farm - CHA Relay Contest

Sunday again Ladies, three days posing in a row, It looks like I am really getting back into the groove again, as an avid fan of all things Greeting Farm, I had to jump at the chance for a free digital image, so was up early this morning, well the two little monsters both got into my bed in the early hours, so i thought that was a perfect excuse to get up and craft, and found the image, which I can now say is safely stored in my hard drive for future use, the image is of a Mermain Ian, he is so cute, my two boys are currently argueing over who is going to use the card for their friends.

The plan goes something like this, todays download is free and everyone can get it here, then you register and upload the photo of your card, then tomorrow everyone who posted photos will be emailed the next image, and so forth for the next few days, come on lets face it it's not hard to make a card, post a piccie and in return get a free greeting farm image.

Coloured with - Promarkers
DP - Funky Hands fab new cd Papercraft Factory

Also used, cutllebug, embossing folder, sizzlets alphabets and L-elm branch punch, stickles for the added shimmer and sparkle, and of course my favourtie Distress inks.

Anyway, I've babbled on enough for now, so off to tackle the dreaded ironing, unless there are any volunteers out there.

Its Horrible Outside

Ok, I've seen enough snow to last me a lifetime, we've just spent the afternoon and had tea up at my mums, around 30ish miles from home, and the drive home was horrible, it snowed right up until about 3 miles from home, it was dark, couldn't see very well and we discovered a few weeks back our car isn't good in the snow, i could feel my heart pounding so fast, but we are home safe and dry.

Thought it was time I tried to blog more than once a week, and get myself back into it after the festivites, and before my diet starts (never start on 1st Jan as theres way too much temptations in the house, wait till Feburary when I've enjoyed polishing it off)

Well I made this card a couple of nights ago and thought I'd like to share it with you all today.

Also used, Nestabilites, Cuttlebug, Daisy Punches, L-em Branch Punch, MS Border Punch.

I seem to be getting a bit addicited to these, and my box that stores them has now been replaced with a bigger one.

I was blog hopping earlier, and came across this picture of the fab new Tim Holtz Distress Ink Colours that have been launced at CHA this week, got to admit this is another bit of an addiction I have started playing with, still practising but getting there slowly with them, can't wait to get my inky little mitts on them.

Anyway off to see what I can get upto now.

Have a great weekend, and stay safe and warm

Hugs, Fiona xxx

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Well thats another year come and gone, and already the naughties are over, what were you best things that you experienced in the naughties, for me it would have to be the birth of my two boys.

So with that in mind i thought i'd share pics of them that were taken this morning, my plan is to photograph them (whilst they are don there own thing) on the first day of every month, better mark the calender so i don't forget lol.

Adam

Conner

As it is the 1st of January 2010, I thought i'd also share a picture of what it looks like from our front window this morning, all nice and snowy.



Right then down to buisness, it's Friday so that must mean it's Stamping for the Weekend time again, yippee, i really needed this challenge to kick start my crafting, as you can imagine too much to do in December and never enough time, so it's sort of fallen to the way side.

Anyway as it's the first our challenge this week, is New Beginings, you can interpret this anyway you want, new year, new baby, new marriage, new house are just a few suggestions.

I decided to bring in the new year with a new Tilda stamp from the Winter Collection.....
