Time has a wonderful way.......

The theme at TAG TUESDAY this time was chosen by

Michele and she wants to see clocks/time.

I have used a die cut circle, stamped some clocks

and cogs in memento from a stamp set called

Chronology from Papermania.

The sentiment has been printed, torn and inked using

balmy blue ink.

I inked round the edges of the circle and finished with

a stapled ribbon.

Tag Tuesday - clocks/time

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

Ours was really good! We had a Christmas Eve get together

in my son's house then we had them all (14 in total) for

Christmas breakfast then a nice relaxed afternoon

just the three of us.

Gearing up now for a New Year's Day get together

in our house again.

We were all very careful, taking a test before we got together

and we will do the same again on New Year's Day!

Better safe than sorry, but so nice to have the family all together again.

 

Rockin' with Santa

OK so there is always one card short, right??

I needed one for my Son next door but don't tell him lol.

I used that lovely Papermania Santa stamp again and went with a

rocker style card which was totally inspired by my lovely friend

Chrissy who makes the most amazing rocker cards ever!!

The largest circle dies I have are these wavy ones from Tattered Lace.

I cut two layers for the base (one in white and one in poppy red), and stamped snowflakes from

Snowman Season in StazOn pigment snowflake ink.

I then cut two circles and gutted one to form a frame.

I added some retired paper to the inside of the frame then

stamped and coloured my Santa.

The sentiment is computer generated, cut and stuck

in place.

Merry Christmas Tag

It's the second week of my 'anything Christmas' theme at

Tag Tuesday

and for this tag I just had a play with some masking,

stencilling and stamping!

Very quick, easy and fun and perfect for batch making

at this late stage!!

I used Basic Pattern Decorative Masks,

Penguin Place stamp set for trees and stars,

Sentiment is from Snowman Season stamp set.

The background was created using my blending brushes

and balmy blue ink pad.

I hope you get time to join us.

Another busy week in the O'Hagan household.

My daughter had her offer accepted on a house

and the mortgage and valuation have all gone through too!

That will be 3 new home moves for 3 of my kids this year!

And between minding Grandkids, shopping, crafting,

decorating and entertaining I'm ready to lie down in a dark

room with some chocolate and a Christmas movie lol.

In case I don't get any blogging done between now and Christmas

I hope you all have a lovely one!

 

New Home

Today I am sharing my midway post for

Stamping Sensations

where the challenge is

'choose your theme and stamp it'.

I had a new home card to make for my Son and family

so decided to go with a fun fold die from Tattered Lace and a bit of paper piecing.

The stamp sets I used are from Stampin' Up! called

Coming Home, Signs of Santa, Enjoy Life, Nature's Beauty

and the dies for the trees are In The Woods Framelits.

The little birds were stamped too but very fiddly to cut out!

The papers are called Ice Cream Corner.

I hope you get time during this busy season to join us as

we have a lovely prize up for grabs

Anything Christmas at Tag Tuesday

It's my turn to choose the theme at

TAG TUESDAY

and as it's so close to Christmas now,

I thought I would go with anything Christmas.

This tag was made for my youngest Grandson Finbar's

Christmas gift.

I was lucky enough to win a prize recently,

and inside the package was this gorgeous Santa stamp

from Papermania.

I cracked him open right away and had a lovely relaxing time

colouring him up.

The papers are retired ones from Stampin' Up! and they have

been matted onto some coastal cabana card.

I hope you get time to join in my theme this fortnight.

Choose your theme!

Our December challenge at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

is

CHOOSE A THEME AND STAMP IT!!

Our prize this month is a brilliant one from Stix2 with about £30 worth of very

useful items for crafters!

For my card I have chosen a Christmas theme and made a card

for my Mother-in-law.

The stamps and dies are all from Stampin' Up! but retired ones.

I stamped the town and stars then inked up my background.

Added some stamped silhouettes and a sentiment.

The star has been die cut from the same bundle.
