Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well.

Just a quick post today,  it's my birthday, so I need to 

finish baking my cakes before my visitors arrive -

🍨 Happy Birthday to Me!🍨

Today I am sharing 2 more quick tags made for Joan's lovely 

theme at Tag Tuesday - Christmas memories. The

first was made from scraps of DCWV paper and a vintage

scrap Santa:

This was made with another scrap of DCWV paper, 

a decorative star and a die cut Xmas tree 

decorated with Stickles:

And some frozen and misty photos from the last

few days:

I'll share my birthday cakes with you in my

next post!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T stands for Snowmen

Hi Everybody!

Today is Elizabeth's

T stands for Tuesday, so here a big

welcome to all the nice ladies of

the T Gang.

My drink is in a huge Snowman mug filled

 with a delicious mix of cappuccino and

hot chocolate - just the thing in this cold weather!

For Tag Tuesday, Joan's lovely 'Christmas memories'

 challenge I made a couple of quick snowman

tags. The first one was made with scraps of

DCWV Christmas cardstock and a die-cut snowman

with Stickles. I grew up in London, and was 7 the
first time I saw snow, so building a snowman
was a big thrill, but my Auntie was very cross because
my shoes got soaked.....

The 2nd one was made with scraps from one of my bit-boxes:

 

 On Saturday we had a nice sunset down by the Rhine:

The Rhine is still very full:

The Nativity in the Basilica is beautiful, as always:

 Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

It's party time at Simon Monday Challenge

Hi Everybody!

It's time for a new challenge at

Simon Says Monday blog

and our theme this time is

🎇 Party🎇

This is my third and last week as Guest DT

there, and the challenge will be running

for 2 weeks, which gives you plenty

of time to party in real life and to

join in! Thanks again to the great team

there for asking me, and  especially to Lols for her help
and patience showing me how to get the links etc done
correctly!

 One entry is chosen each week and wins a fabulous

gift voucher!

I  made an A3 journal page. For the background I painted a layer of Gesso and textured it using a swirl design stamp. The figures were made with a home-made stencil and a Faber Castell Big Brush Pen. I used home made acrylic paint sprays to colour the background, and diverse small stencils for the 'confetti'. The lettering was done by hand. I added some ribbon scraps for my dancers to wave.

I'm looking forward to seeing YOUR entry at the challenge!

Some photos from this weekend -

The Rhine is full to the brim, but it was good

to see some blue skies:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
