I am a working mum of three very untidy children. Although not sure if 18 still qualifies as a child? but then again from their actions its a yes! I really enjoy most crafts and tend to be enthusiastic but not always competent!!

Dilly's Doodling

Crafting from a garage in the Cotswolds...

Sunday, November 30, 2008


Having made myself feel even more guilty with my last post ,I have stopped ironing the school uniform - hoping its going to be cold tomorrow so only iron the collars and hope the jumpers don't come off ! I have sat down and had a quick play using papers from Docraft (I think?) and three of the Magnolia Christmas stamps I have recently indulged in. Used promarkers ruby & vanilla to colour in with - I really like this combination & have seen it used on quite a few blogs - its so good being able to get inspiration as I find I struggle with colours and my wardrobe is testament to this!!!

I thought I had some raffia and wanted to put this on the top with a bow but couldn't find it - so no change there. In the end I used some brown paper folded & scrunched but not quite what I wanted to do as I think the bow is too formed. BUT I have now completed my first Christmas card!!!

Have just seen a a challenge that I could enter this on the High Hopes Stamp Challenge so will have a go. The DT quality is so good I do feel a bit of a newbie but you have to start somewhere !
Have a good week
