Secret Santa Blog Hop for Through the Purple Haze

This Christmas I received an extra special present, all the DT at Through the Purple Haze sent eachother a Secret Santa present.

We are doing a wee blog hop to show off our goodies!  Hopefully you have come here from the lovely Lucy

Here's what I received and I couldn't be more pleased!

Where do I start? Oodles of ribbons in my favourite vintage colours, some Gorjuss girls decoupage, some DCWV rock (squeal!) Die cuts, loads of lovely wee embellishments, some inkpads, some amazing dies for my Bigshot and some gorgeous stickers.  It's all so fab I am over the moon!  My head is buzzing with ideas of what I can make!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Secret Santa.

I must confess something I received is not in the picture because it didn't last long enough for me to photograph, a lovely selection box!

I hope you are enjoying seeing all our goodies and I will pass you onto the lovely Nicola whose wonderful blog you will find here

A Very Special TTPH Bloghop for a very special lady!

This is my first blog hop and its extra special as all the DT at Through the Purple Haze are using it to wish a happy birthday to our lovely boss lady Anita!

Hopefully you have arrived here from the lovely Teresa's blog

Here's my card I made for you Anita

Like me you have a winter birthday so I jumped at the chance to make you a card with these gorgeous Winter Walk papers which came free with Making Cards magazine.  My embellishments, ribbons and charm are all from my stash and I went a bit over the top with the pearly cosmic shimmer and created a blizzard!

I'd like to thank the girls on the DT for setting up the blog hop, I wouldn't know where to have started!

Happy Birthday Anita and thank you for all the hard work you put in, we all really appreciate it!

I will pass you onto the lovely Nicola whose wonderful blog you will find here

Creative Fingers Anything Goes with Sassy Studios

Happy New Year!  We have a great challenge to start things off at Creative Fingers, Anything Goes, here's my make

I  used  a box I got perfume in and added Steampunk Josephine from sassy studios, used some ribbon and embellishments from my stash.  It was a bit of a quick make as my wee boy hasn't been too well, hopefully he's on the mend.

I hope you will pop along to the blog to see what my teammates have made for your inspiration.

Now that 2014 is here I've made sone crafty resolutions.  This year I'm going to go back to one of my first loves scrapbooking and I'm going to spend more time getting inky with my stamps.

Creative Fingers Special friend/Anything goes with Stamping Chef

My wonderful image is coloured with promarkers, my papers have been in my stash forever, I just cut them into different size strips and folded them over behind my doilie, added sone pearls, a charm and some twine from my stash and that's my unusual Christmas tree decoration finished!

I hope you will have time to pop along to the blog to see my teammates wonderful creations.

My cat stamps are all wonderful Penny Black and my papers are all from Wilco, my dies are Joy. I'm loving red black and white this Christmas!

I hope you will be able to pop along and join in our Christmas challenge here for the chance to win these fab stamps 

Creative Fingers Easel card with Beccys Place

This week as usual our challenge is anything goes with the optional twist of an easel card.  Here's my creation

I am using the fabulous Christmas Tree Cottage digi from Beccys Place which I just fell in love with as soon as I saw it!  My papers and embellishments were all magazine freebies.

I hope you will be able to have a look at the challenge blog as we have some lovely new DT members.

I made my card  and photographed it in the middle of a terrible storm ( which is why my photo is a bit wobbly lol!).  The wind and rain eased by the afternoon only to be replaced by blizzards!  The joys of the Scottish winter!

Through the Purple Haze Chrisrmas 1,2,3 with Kenny K

We have a 1,2,3 Christmas challenge for you this week at Through the Purple Haze sponsored by the wonderful Kenny K, using 1 digi, 2 papers and 3 embellishments

Heres my card

She was so much fun to colour! I used my limited edition Autumn Winter promarkers and the colours were just perfect for her.  My papers and embellishments were all magazine freebies.

I must apologise if my colouring is a wee bit wobbly this week im struggling to shake off a horrible bug thats had me and my wee boy floored for the last couple of weeks, now my poor hubby has started coughing and sneezing too!  Im a terrible patient but an even worse nurse, poor him lol!

Anyway, I hope you will pop along to the TTPH challenge blog and get some inspiration from my talented DT teamates and I cant wait to see what you all create!
