Funky Hand time!!!

HURRAY!!! the launch day has finally arrived!!! The new CD "Craft the Year Away" was launched this morning on Create and Craft and is now available on the Funky Hand website.

You are going to love the cd it is amazing, I played with it for hours!! There are 12 colour collections, one for each month lol

Here are a wee lookie at my samples for the cd :o)

Using Febraury's papers

the ribbon and buttons coordinate with the November Rain set

Another November Rain card

the door hanger is a template on the cdKept my favourite til last, this wee bot is just fabulous!!

All the images are from the cd and can be coloured or not :o) You should definetely get yourself over to Funky Hand and buy this cd asap cos I really don't see it lasting long

First InStyle Stamps DT card!!!

Isn't this wee birdie so cute?? I fell in love with him straight away! He is called "Whirly" and will be available here soon. I made the sentiment on the pc as it was what came to mind when I saw the image lol.

The papers I have used are Funky Hand Hearts and Flowers download, the flowers come ready to print and I have simply cut them out and layered them. A few flat pearls and a gem brad et voila as the French would say :o)

Allsorts want men!!

where has the week gone??

I have no idea where the week has gone, its Friday already and I haven't had much chance to craft this week, mainly due to my little monkey man having a few restless nights this week, I think he has another tooth coming in bless him it always seems to get him up in the nights when he's teething. And when I am short of sleep I have no energy/enthusiasm for crafting!!

seeing as I haven't any cardage to show (until tomorrow of course lol) I thought I would show the cross stitch I made for our newest grand daughter Maisie's first Christmas. It has been a loooong time since I did any cross stitching and oh wow I had to concentrate......not such a great thing for me in the evenings after a day with the monkey man LOL But concentrate I did and got it finished and framed.

and the news is....

Some of you may have seen on the Funky Hand blog that there was a dt call and my news is that I have been picked to join it!!! I was doing a happy dance when I got the email from Anice and I am so excited to be joining the fabby dabby team :o)

We're all freezing our backsides off here in the panda household, the temps here have dropped again and the roads are treacherously icy! YUK! Normally the cold weather would mean plenty of crafty time but my wee monkey man has been unsettled at nights the last week or so and I just haven't got the energy to get the crafty stash out! Sad I know and something I am planning on rectifying tomorrow as soon as the wee monster is in bed for his lunchtime nap :o)

Hope you are all well and keeping warm n cosy :o)

nnnneeewwwwwwssss

OMG OMG OMG OMG I got some fantastic news today but I can't share it just yet.......watch this space!!!

There is one very excited Panda here in cold wintry Kingussie :o)
