Christmas Gnomes 3 - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Evening Everyone, 
It's been a very busy half term, I can't believe it's almost over! Thank you so much for all the messages and best wishes for my Mum. She has very limited sight in one eye and nothing in the other and she had another bump to the head while she was trying to do something the other day - getting her to do nothing is proving difficult! 
I've managed a couple of cards over the week - just haven't had a chance to blog them ....so here's the first one..I've used 'Christmas Gnomes 3' from Lili of the Valley.


I've coloured him with promarkers although I'm not very happy with my colouring on this one - his hat is driving me nuts! The background papers are from First Edition and I 've used Creative expressions winter trees dies and a Spellbinders snowflake die.
The sentiment tags are from Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog. I hope you are all staying safe. Have a lovely weekend.

Christmas Snowman at AYLI

Good Morning Everyone, 
Before I do anything else, I need to say a HUGE thank you for all of your lovely comments and good wishes that you sent for my mum. I'm so relieved to be able to tell you that she has come home. She has to rest and take things easy. The main worry is her eyesight - she has been left partially blind. It might come back, or it might not. I can't go and visit her yet as due to coronavirus we are in tier 2 in York and I work in a school so don't want to risk passing anything on. Just so happy she is back home with my dad!
Right...onto crafty things....It's time for a new challenge at As You Like It. This fortnight the theme is...

Blue and ? 
Which colour would you put with blue and don't forget to tell us why!

I've used this gorgeous little snowman from Lili of the Valley for today's card - Christmas Snowman 3


I've coloured him with promarkers and teh background paper is an old pad from Little Clare's. I've used a Creative Expressions winter tree die, die namics picket fence die, and Crafters Companion snowflake die.

Broomstick - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning Everyone, 
I'm having a bit of a bad week - my mum had a stroke on Thursday and is now in hospital being looked after by some wonderful nurses but I can't see her. So I'm going to say sorry now in case I don't get round to visiting or commenting on your lovely blogs. 

I made this card earlier this week so thought I'd better share it. I've used the adorable 'Broomstick'.


I've coloured her with promarkers and the background papers are from Anna Marie Designs - Garden Blooms Lilac. The flowers are my favourite Fabulous Flowers Moonstone die from Hunkydory. I drew the spiders webs around the image and the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Penguin Friends - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning Everyone, 
I put off upgrading to the 'new' blogger until the very last minute and I'm still not sure I like it! I know I don't like change and sometimes we have no choice but why do they have to mess with things that work fine! I'm having problems getting to all your lovely blogs from my reading list as it keeps coming up with a warning asking if I really want to go there!! Tom was laughing at me because apparently I was shouting at the computer that 'Of course I want to go there, I've been going there for years!!' He kept telling me that the laptop can not hear a word I'm saying!!
Anyway, I have a little Christmas card to share. I've used the very cute 'Penguin Friends' from Lili of the Valley.


I've coloured them with promarkers and the background papers are from Craftwork Cards - Noir de Luxe. I've used a Creative Expressions Winter Tree die, A spellbinders snowflake die, a Marianne Creatable snowflake die and a Hunkydory Moonstone layered oval die. The sentiment tags are from Lili of the Valley.
