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.

It's that tree again

This time I've kept it very minimalist. Unfortunately the camera didn't like the reflection the silver card was giving off so I had to scan it and the piccie doesn't really do it justice.

I embossed the tree in silver and then used a small clear star stamp in Brilliance blue to stamp around the branches. I finished it off with 2 ribbons, the top one is printed with Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

I'm entering this into the current ABC Christmas Challenge and Totally Papercrafts #53 Challenge which are both asking for Clean and Simple.

Hope you like it and the links are below, x
