I'm not really happy with the layout of this card even though I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday - sorry ladies!!! - it's me not you!!
Perhaps it's the papers that don't work together?
Oh well my hedgie looks happy enough!!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a fabulous day.

No Cards - Just Cake!

Good afternoon all.

Just thought that I would share a photo of the cake I made last night:
Parsnip and Maple Syrup Cake

I found the recipe over at Caroline's blog (kiss-keep it sweet simple) a very long time ago.

The cake is scrumptious and it won't last the day!!

Is your mouth watering now?!!

Celebrating Snow

Good morning all.
Blimey its a bit chilly today! The chickens didn't want to come out of the coop this morning!!
Still at least its dry and sunny.

I have a Penny Black card to share with you:

Items used:
Penny Black 'Celebrating Snow' 4095H
Memory Box 'Frostyville Border' die
Stampin Up Blendabilities
LOTV sentiment tag
LOTV Winter Wishes paper
Stickles

Off now for a major house clean then hopefully will be able to craft later, after all "all work and no play...."
Which brings me onto my new years resolution (something that I don't usually bother with)-
1. When I have finished a card it has to be placed into cellophane with envelope to save time.
2. To blog more often which means to spend more time crafting :)

Number 1 is already a success so I'd better keep up with number 2!

Thank you for visiting me today and I hope that you have a fabulous day.
