Cute and Cosy for CCC!

Hello Crafty Friends and Visitors, welcome to my blog, and love that you continue to visit.
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my last card, I know it all takes time so it's all very much appreciated.

Well, it's a whole fortnight ago since the Christmas Card Club showed their creations and no it's time once again to show more. Our lovely Zoe is the Hostess choosing the theme this time and it's cards which are Cute and Cosy, of course there is also the option of Anything Goes if you can't manage the theme so that no one misses out.

Here's what I've come up with;
Aren't these Piggies so cute and they are also cosy wrapped up in their blanket!  Hobby Art stamps and I've coloured with Derwent Coloursoft Pencils and Sakura gel pens.  A couple of dies for embellishment and sequins. Paper is from a very old LOTV paper pad, can't even remember the name.

Using up some old stash, a LOTV Art Pad topper, this cute Teddy, now I'm guessing he's cosy as he's indoors and just peeking out to look a a parcel. Papers are from a First Edition pad, but not sure which one and the sentiment is from a set my lovely friend Mrs. Duck gave me. Lots of sparkle and some gems, of which I think I've lost one and never noticed, as I always stick three on.

Here we go again with another LOTV Art Pad, some cosy, cute bunnies, with a free sentiment from Creative Stamping magazine. Lots of Star Dust for Sparkle, and some old papers.


So, Zoe I hope these will do, it was a lovely challenge which I enjoyed, thank you.

We had a lovely concert last night, all went well, even although the rehearsal in the afternoon, caused a few worries, however we were obviously saving ourselves for the performance. Four young Soloists joined us and they were brilliant, absolutely beautiful voices, especially the Bass/ Baritone, such a powerful rich tone to his voice, it was thrilling to listen to them all. The audience liked it and indeed Alistair thought it was one of our best ever.
Glad it's all over though, it's such a long day and very tiring, but we now have a break until August, and as much as I love the singing, I'm looking forward to the break.

A quiet day for me, not even cooking, going out for a bite to eat later, I hope that you are enjoying your Sunday whatever you're doing. Don't forget to looks at what the other CCC girls make, see you soon,

  28. Hola Kate! Cuánto me gustan siempre tus tarjetas, cualquiera que sea la temática, nos dejas bonitas ideas para inspirarnos! La de los cerditos es muy divertida, me ha gustado mucho con los adornos de troqueles y lentejuelas, y el peluche una dulzura! No me había dado cuenta que había conejitos dentro del calcetín, muy tierno!!
    Me alegro que el concierto haya ido tan bien!
    Un beso!
