"Tilly" and "Tango" At The Barnyard Dance!

 Just one card today.  My hands are so cold it's hard to do anything, let alone make a card. Gloves don't work for me because I have poor circulation, so they just keep my hands cold.

 This is Tilly and Tango having a great time at the Barnyard Dance!  Dressed in their best skirts, they dance until dawn...you know ow it is! It wasn't easy cutting out their dresses, not only were my hands cold, but my fingers didn't want to do what they were told!  Not sure if I like the dresses or not, but I had fun making this card!  More to follow...?!  Maybe!

Make Your Own Pixie Pots Tray!

Above and below are two photos showing how I made my own Pixie Pots Tray costing $6! Wanting some tiny pots to mix either my inks or mica powders in, I bought a tray, some adhesive velcroe dots and some tiny pots with lids from my local $2 Shop.  I stuck the velcroe dots to the bottom of each pot, and the other part of the velcroe dot to the tray and then pressed the pot firmly so it stuck.  This way, the liquid from either the distress inks or the mica powder I mix with water, will not spill when I move it.  You can buy the Pixie Pots for around $37, but me being me, I made my own for $6! The pots are easy to remove ad don't fall over, even with the velcroe stuck to the bottom.

Above and below are a few cards I have made last week. They all have sparkly stuff on them, not easily seen on the photo's.
 have taken another photo of the card above in hope that you can see the shiny mica powder on the card.  Still not easy to see here:-(
All these cards are made using Lavinia Stamps, ditto for the stencils I have used.  The mane on the Unicorn below is actually sparkly gold, but it looks brown in this photo. The challenge is, there's not much sun around, so I am using a flash to photograph these cards.  They come out much better if I can photograph them in natural light.  Bah humbug to Winter!! I want Summer!!

"Noof" from Lavinia Stamps.

I made these four "Noof" cards over the last few days.  I've had a bit of a rough week because last Sunday I was bitten on the wrist by a White Tail spider, and my arm swelled up and was very red and painful.  Having been to the Doctor on Tuesday, I have another appointment to see her today.  I've had a high temperature as well, and because my arm was sore it wasn't easy to do any crafting.  My arm is a lot better today, no swelling and the redness which had travelled up from my wrist and up my arm has since gone.  I do still have a high temperature so am having to take regular Paracetamol for that. Somehow I managed to get these cards finished.


The card below is also a LS card and has "Tia" sitting in the center of a Christmas Bauble.  The Bauble is a Sweet Poppy stencil.
Below is another LS card.  All these cards have sparkly stuff on them, and I so wish it showed on these photo's!
