All roads lead home!

It's the second week of Sandie's theme TRANSPORT over at

Tag Tuesday.

My heart wasn't really in it this week as we have had yet

another roof leak during storm babet.

Seriously, this saga is never going to end!!

I am actually so mad all I can do is cry 😢 to get rid of my anger.

He is full of empty promises constantly and really has us

over a barrel. Hubby is much more patient and forgiving than me for sure!

This has been a permanent fixture outside my kitchen now for 9 weeks

and the front of the house is like a construction storage site!

Sorry for having a rant but needed to get it off my chest😖

Anyway I used a retired stamp set called Coming Home along with some

black card. I blended the sky with some inks and

coloured everything with my blends.

The sentiment was computer generated.

We went to our Grandson Sean's birthday last night.

He has hit double figures and reached the age of 10!

I honestly can't believe it. He is the most handsome wee boy

and so funny, gentle and thoughtful.

But maybe I'm biased 😂

He certainly was a tonic for me last night!

Hope you get time to join us this week!!

Our new challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

 is all about WHAT YOU LOVE!

Just grab your stamps and show us what floats your boat!

We have 3 great prizes up for grabs too!

So WHAT I LOVE is a shaped card!

I love creating shaped cards for special occasions.

This one was made for my daughter and her partner

moving into their first home.

I have used a Christina Griffiths die set called

6" x 6" flower box and card set.

The card colours are flirty flamingo and coastal cabana.

I stamped the little houses directly onto the card, then

stamped more onto white card and added colour.

I cut them out and 3d'd them.

The trees and flowers were stamped, coloured and added to the layers.

The sentiment is from two different stamp sets.

I added matching ribbon and bow.

The back has been stamped as well using a few different sets

which I will list below.

The front has also had some clouds inked up.

Stamp sets used:

Quite Curvy, Barn Door, One Happy Family,

Coming Home, Beauty of Friendship and At Home with You.

I hope you get time to join us!

Thanks to those of you who asked how I was.

Getting over covid took longer than I had patience for lol.

But we are all doing very well now, energy levels back

and only a small amount of congestion.

We have been busy moving my daughter into her home

and getting ready for her partner and family arriving from

USA today. We have the wedding on Thursday and the visitors

return on Sunday so hopefully things will get a bit more normal around here.

Home is where the heart is

I had a request for a new home card

with photos of the house which I tried to

replicate using my stamps.

The papers were free during Sale-a-bration.

The ribbon, flowers and leaves are all retired now.

But the lovely die cut frame is from Ornate Layers dies.

I used the stitched rectangle dies for the sentiments.

The house stamps came from a set called

Coming Home and the stamped sentiments are

from another set called Barn Door, both retired.

I colour the house used smoky slate, crumb cake, bermuda bay

and daffodil delight blends.

I stamped the flowers from Pop of Petals

in Bermuda Bay ink, punched them out and

made the flowers.

New Home for Christmas card

Happy Monday!

Can you believe it's the 14th already!

My cards today were a commission for two new home cards.

One was a bungalow the other a two story house.

I used the stamp set called Coming Home.

It doesn't have a two story house stamp so I

stamped one house on top of the other,

masking off the roof on the first stamp.

I'm happy enough with the way it turned out.

I also used Snowman Season to add snow.

Everything has been coloured with blends.

The papers and flowers are from Nitwits.

Tag Tuesday - Christmas tag

We have a new theme over at

Tag Tuesday

and it has been chosen by Sandie.

You are going to love this one

CHRISTMAS or ANYTHING GOES!!

Well as it's December I thought I would go with

a Christmas tag.

For this one I had a bit of fun with a stamp set called

COMING HOME.

I stamped and white embossed the sentiment.

I then stamped the houses, tree and lamp

and masked off and inked up the sky

and snowy gardens.

I stamped the Happy Christmas from Itty Bitty Christmas

and white embossed onto red card.

I used an emboss pen and white embossing powder

to add snow to the roofs and tree.

A white chalk pen was used to add snow.

I layered it onto some real red card and finished with a

stapled red ribbon.

I hope you get time to join us this fortnight.

From our house to yours

Another Christmas card today.

Yes, I have loads of Christmas card orders already.

I have been making them since July as some of my customers are panicking

that there will be a second lock down.

Keeping me on my toes for sure!

This is an a5 card and I have used the brand new stamp set

Coming Home.

I am not happy with my colouring as I used the ink pad and

wink of stella which didn't work well for me.

Need to add those blends to my list now.

But this is a cute stamp set and it worked beautifully with the

gorgeous Brightly Gleaming papers.

The sentiments were computer generated.

Bit calmer today so back out for another clean up!
