Simply Create DT

Morning folks...at long last I've managed to play with my Simply Create DT kit instead of just opening the box and looking at it......yummy Echo Park Papers and a huge sheet of stickers from the "Everybody Loves Christmas" collection ..buttons... ribbons and a Hero Arts Christmas stamp.....here's what I made...

Poinsettia Wall Hanging
a great excuse to use this huge red button which measures 5cm across



cute Hero Arts Snowy House

would you believe that there are quite a few Sticker Snobs out there...oh yes I have had lots of folks over the years say to me that it's not proper card making if you use stickers....what utter tosh and although I am first and foremost a stamper....don't discount the humble sticker....it's a great way of getting ahead of the game and making some quick and easy cuties....ideal if you do craft fairs....school fetes and of course perfect for making my favourite scraplings.....



and I still have loads left over to play with but not today....I'm having a "cut loose and have fun day"...taking a little trip out to my favourite craft store just to deliver my DT stuff you understand and to meet up with my favourite bloggy buds Anne and Debbi for a coffee and a fancy piece....loads of chat of a crafty nature no doubt and of course a little bit of a crafty spend.
Only
154
more sleeps until I am in the same room as you know who!!!
Catch up with you all tomorrow....Hugs Kath xxx

  9. OMW girl, what a busy bee you've been! Just how much was in that box for goodness sake?! Superb creations, every one of them, but my fave is the Hero Arts cottage. Makes me want to be tucked up inside it in front of a roaring log fire while the wild wind blows the snow past the windows .....Hugs, Sxx

  17. Lucky you having a trip to Alford. Wish I could get my stuff finished and go there but I think it's going to be delivered on the 2nd! I've just wasted 3 hours looking for a photo to do a layout! I have one and I can see exactly what the other one looks like, just can't find it anywhere. Guess I'll need to think again!!

    I may need to check out these papers you used here. I've got the MME ones which are also gorgeous.

    See you soon,

    Kat xx
