Wow, that all looks so lovely Alison, it reminds me of Kaisercraft colourways, although Elaine and Ellie would be better judges than me.:lol:
Gorgeous cards too, that blue is such a lovely colour.

I bought a few more things after I left you.
I was quite pleased with all the stuff I bought, also I
was surprised with the amount of stalls that there were.
I thought it was a good show.
Here's my haul.....
lovely cards Alison esp lizzy one
nice to meet up ladies and the stash shopping like those pp
That die be useful with the horse too Alison

Here's a card I have made for my DGS.
He likes music, (plays the drums, ) and he also likes watches,
so I thought this was ok.
It's got copper tones in and a bit of purple, does that count ? :)
Ellie
Perfect card for DGS Ellie love the background
Rember us chatting about the zyron 510 think it was here I was telling DH could get refill amazon its gone gone I said yes he sold it at the sale well i did leave it in the doorway !!!!He explained couldnt get the cartridges but the man was from holland and took lots of things for a cheap cheap price so thats ok he was happy
Oh dear Denise. DH probably thought he was helping :lol:
Thanks for your comment about my card.
It looks better IRL, because I have put sparkle on it ,to brighten it up a bit.
You can't see it on the photo much.
Ellie
Oh well Denise, you won’t have to search for refills now !
Lovely card Ellie, is that an embossing folder you have used ? Love the colours x
Yes Alison it's an embossing folder.
Just used inks and some sparkle on it.
Ellie
Fabulous card Ellie and what a lovely stash. I've got my eye on the dies in there!:lol:
I've not used them yet Susie, but I could cut you some if you wanted.
Are we doing the embossing swap, or shall we leave it until after Christmas?
Ellie
When you wash over the embossed card to get that effect do you use a sponge Ellie ?
card made with die cuts from Susie from the swap DH was impressed with the die cut I said these are the modern ones now I cant cut on my machine sad face :mellow:
Why dont you buy yourself a new machine was the reply
theres so many new machines I say another sad face :mellow:
I think he gone to goggle them I just left a piece of paper accidently next to his computer with crafty websites
Yes New Year is fine with me for our nesxt swap I may be able to get some more folders by then I def love the stree one from Elaine

Well I tried my new dies today, and they are a dream to cut :)
I have taken a photo. Some in white and some in silver.
With or without the snowflakes.
How do you like them.
Ellie
Lovely card Denise, love that little donkey stamp, and the red you’ve used is perfect colour.
That’ll be nice if you get a new machine
Gorgeous dies Ellie, they’ll make lovely cards :)
Denise ,we must have posted at the same time!
Only just seen your card. It's lovely, and the little donkey is so
appropriate for Christmas. Like Alison said the red colour is perfect.
The die cuts are lovely too.
Hope you get a machine .
The purple card I did use a sponge, because it was a bit wetter, but for the
brown musical one I just swiped my ink pad over it.
Ellie.
Lovely cards Ellie and Denise..and even little Lizzie (and Alison of course)
A good haul from you both too. I had some happy mail today but still waiting for the next happy mail from Merly with more Mint Wishes. I played a but in my craft room this morning but I won't get a chance before I go away now as I have to move my craft room about as we are having two new radiators fitted on Thursday so he needs to get right where my desk is to connect to the radiator there. More disruption!
We were supposed to be having the wood burner fitted last Thursday..he didn't turn up, then today..still no show..now Thursday! Wonder if he'll show up then? Grr!
Gorgeous card Denise, glad you could find a use for the JOY. That donkey is just too cute for words!
Lovely dies Ellie, that poppy is gorgeous. Thank you so much for the offer but I need to get crafting properly before I take you up on it - but I will.
I'm the same as Denise, New Year is fine for me, but I will happily go along with whatever everyone else wants.
Don't you hate it when people promise to come to do a job and then just don't turn up. You could do without the messing about Elaine.
Hi, here's an Autumn colour card from me.
Ellie
Lovely colourful card Ellie. I love those autumn colours and your embossed background, very pretty.
love the autumn one Ellie and the die cuts too
Its annoying when work men dont turn up Grrrr
Where is everybody!!!!
Not much happening today.
2 Autumnal coloured tags.
Ellie
They're lovely, especially the owl one, I love the owl itself and the green and pink, so pretty.
We've been out again today, hairdressers this time.
Thank you Susie. I like owls as well.
Ellie.
Love the owl one too is it a die cut?and the other tag of course Ellie
I baked a fruit cake this morning for the teashop weekend Barrydale in bloom
You must show a photo of you hair reflected in the mirror Susie
No Denise, the owl isn't a die cut, it's a stamp. I just cut him out,
and stuck him on :)
Are you going to show your garden in the Barrydale in Bloom.?
Ellie
Love the autumnal card Ellie, and the tags, good to see you are already using the new paper pad - looks great :)
Not this year
I bought some nice owl ribbon as to do an owl birthday card for December for a friend
The ribbon sounds nice Denise. Have you got an owl stamp?
Alison, I love, love the paper pad, I wish I had bought more of them.
I'm going to the craft show at Doncaster on Sunday, so might pick up
something similar there. It's really good quality card as well.
Have you used yours yet ?
Ellie
Let me know how the Doncaster show compares, I’m out at a crop today so can’t justify more craft shopping this week !
I plan to use a 12x12 sheet today for a LO, got the pads in my bag so may use more if i get round to it :)
Will do. Hope the crop goes well and you get your LO done.
Ellie
Enjoy your crop Alison
I saw the Doncaster show advertised Ellie have a nice time Would you like me to send you some owl ribbon it would go lovely with your stamp I sure you would like it will do anyway
Denise, did you get the rest of the die cuts we sent ?
I managed 2.5 lo’s, spent quite a lot of time swapping papers back and forth on one, the other two have come together quite easily an 8x8 page is much easier, another two pages for lizzys album :)
Oh yes please Denise, I would love some. Thank you.
I was going to ask if you wanted me to send you some stamped owl images,
but I too will do that anyway :)
Alison, did you use some of your paper pad for your LO.?
Are you posting them so we can have a look?
I think you got a bargain with that 12x12 pad.
I've looked on the site and it's £12-99, and the small one is £5-99
Ellie
I ended up using two of the 12x12 sheets. Not 100% happy with the LO, will look at it and photograph and upload tomorrow, I used one of sues (mini owners) sketches.
Yes I got the die cuts Alison all lovely thank you used some already will take a photo
Oh that’s good, glad they arrived :)
Brown ..... I do like a vintage brown.... :-) The stamp is from Hero Arts.
Wendy
Beautiful Wendy.
Ellie
That's lovely Wendy, I do love your dotty background.
lovely Wendy like the dots too
Thank you :-) The dots are Bazzill Swiss Dot in Kraft. For some reason they dots are more raised on this colourway than the others, which are quite flat!
Wendy
