About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - Deck the Halls

 Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes
https://theoutlawzchallenges-sunday.blogspot.com/2022/12/sunday-song-and-rhyme-challenge-dec.html

Our sponsor is Patties Creations

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Theresa: Deck the Halls

Deck the hall with boughs of holly,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
'Tis the season to be jolly:
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Troul the ancient Christmas carol.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

See the flowing bowl before us,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Strike the harp, and join in chorus:
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
While I sing of beauty's treasure.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses:
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Laughing quaffing all together,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Heedless of the wind and weather.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

My card was inspired by the words in the first line

I dry embossed green card with Crafts Too Christmas Holly Frame embossing folder and coloured the berries with marker.  Printed Patties Creations digital stamp Holiday Topiary onto white card and coloured with markers and glitter gel pen,  Cut out and layered onto green card.  Typed Deck the halls, cut out and layered on green card.
Added We are 3 sentiment from Happy Christmas

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.

I would like to add my card to the following:
