Happy New Year Everyone

Hi Everyone,

Well Christmas now seems like a distant memory of rushing in and out of shops, wrapping mountains of presents with masses of sellotape, meeting friends and family to swap gifts and exchange festive wishes and eating way to much lol.  This year has been a year of ups and downs finding myself is funny, sad, difficult and crazy situations but throughout it all I have had amazing family and friends supporting me all the way.

So this post is to say a BIG THANK YOU to them all for helping me out, keeping me focused and making me giggle during 2014. 

Looking forward into 2015, our house will be blessed with the arrival of a little baby girl, My son will turn 12 and be off on his first abroad trip with his school plus other adventures and I will be busy moving my time between The Isle of Wight, London and Birmingham plus working on many more craft projects throughout the year. 

I'm ending this post with a wish that you all have a wonderful, Creative and Successful 2015.

See you soon Becka B xxx

Christmas Card - Last Minute Make

Hello,

I sat and wrote down my christmas card list and was surprised I had to make 50 Christmas cards for all my friends to make, so the plan was to keep it quick and simple so everyone got them in time,  I decided to just use stamps and a gem, I have to say it was fun to try and not over bling the bell as the design is crying out to be binged up, I added the gem to the red stamped bow to add the sparkle.

Ingredients 

4 x 4 Inch Card Blank.

Paper Tray Ink - Signature Christmas.

Ancient Page Ink Pads - Stone Grey and Bordeaux.

My Stash - a stamp set (no made of company on sorry), Silver Gem.

My tidy craft room.

Hi everyone,

I have spent the last few days organising, tidying and rearranging my craft room and now I have finished.

I moved house a year ago and have been busy settling into life in a totally new area. Going out in the car has for me been the best part of our new adventure here as we never know what we are going to see and with every new road we go down something great has been found. From great places to eat to cute little beaches and not forgetting chocolate box thatched cottages. 

I have to say I do love being here. Well here are the pictures on my craft room. I hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by. Will be back soon with a project to share with you. 

Happy crafting
