About Me

My photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for several years but now spend most of my time either knitting or crocheting. However, with the advent of a New Year I have bitten the bullet and am tackling my usually hated pastime of sewing. I've even bought 'Sewing for Dummies' to guide me on my way. I've been with my hubby Dave for 24 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and a dog, the latter features as my 'photo' image. I used to be able to blog daily but these days I struggle to blog weekly. Hopefully now we are settled into our new home in the country, I can get back to a daily (well almost) update from the room I now have to share with hubby. No more personal crafting space for me!!! Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration, and thank you to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog.

Truly Scrumptious #41; PDCC #48; Charisma Cardz #38; OLLCB #63; Allsorts #71

Evening everyone. I sort of had a bit of a craft moment in the process of making this card. I was following the sketch on theTruly Scrumptious Challenge but stamped the sentiment where the image should have been, duh! So I punched an image from the Crafty Individuals Miniature Christmas images pack and placed that where the sentiment should be. Hope I haven't broken too many rules, lol.

Anyway I also followed the blue and green theme which coincidentally was similar to the PDCC challenge which was to use dark blue, lime green and grey or silver. I chose the grey and stamped the 'Believe' sentiment by Paper Inspirations in Versacolor Indigo. All the papers/card is from my stash and I used nesties to frame the sentiment.

The miniature image is stuck into a flattened bottle top which I coloured with Copic B39 and then added glossy accents to finish.

So to summarise I am entering this into:-
