And just like that we were in December!!
So that can only mean one thing, time for our final challenge of 2021 over At A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge Blog. Here is a little inspiration for you
Snow Fun
Sorry if I am boring you with all the snow scenes but I feel like something has finally clicked this year and I can finally colour snow, it was always one of those things that I hated to o before as I was was never happy with the result
No lines snow
I really wanted to mke a snowy winter scene with some Purple Onion stamps I have. I love Stacey Yacula's designs and feel that they lend themselves to such sweet scenes
Naughty Fox
Oh my this naughty naughty fox ( he is actually a badger I just coloured him as a fox) is contemplating breaking into the duck barn!!! No Mr Fox please become a vegetarian
Night Flight
This reminds me of Petes Dragon a film I watched on repeat as a child, sat with my Grandad eating ice cream. They are warm memories
Autumn picnic
Time for one last autumnal picnic for these little bears before the weather becomes too cold
Dragon Land
A little sneak peak at the special land where dragons fly freely. But I can only let you peek through this little hole...
APTTC
Oh my time for another new challenge on A perfect Time to craft and this month our sponsors are Fred She Said.
Make sure you join in this months challenge for a chance to win
Holiday Anya
I have only ever stamped Holiday Anya 8 up once and to look at how my confidence in my colouring has increased in only a year is truly amazing. I love the soft background scene with the birch trees ad the snow storm. Everything about this just feels like it works well together
30
My colleague is turning 30, so I wanted something a little different. She is made about guinea pigs and so I thought this would appeal to her
Halloween
I love every season, if I honest but I especially love the beauty and richness of autumn, we are not quite there yet in the UK but the nights are already getting longer and I need to remeber to book the chimney sweep.
APTTC
Wow October already and so time for a new challenge over at A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge Blog and this month our Sponsors are The Hungry J.PEG
Moonlit Owl
Final day of the sneak peaks for Crafty Purple Frog and todays stamp is actually a digital version. I feel a bit of a Harry Potter vibe for today
New Digs
Day 3 of the sneak peaks and today is Fairy Door. Martha has a little fairy door like this on her bedroom wall, when she was little she would leave messages for the fairy and I used to have to try to remember to write back.
Kingfisher
Time for a new release at Crafty Purple Frog. It goes live on Friday but sneak peaks start today and first up we have King of the river. This kingfisher is just stunning, so I felt that he really needed the lime light, so a monochrome background it is
Cup of Positivity
We all need a little lift some times and I just fell in love with the Tiny Townie from Stamping Bella. In our office a cup of tea fixes everything

Spooky Forest
Schools back
Returning to school Miss Anya. So my kids are both back at school now and I am hoping that they manage to stay open for the whole school year. I of course took the back to school photos, showing a very smart and sensible young man embarking on year 8 and a scruffy little sass bag that is about to cause hell in year 6!!
Lets hope Miss Anya takes after my boy
Autumn Snuggle
I love snuggling under a blanket and this little sweetie is the same, watching the delights of nature around her

Time for a new challenge over at A perfect Time to Craft Challenge Blog and this month are sponsors are Sheepski Designs
Sunset Memories
A beautiful late summer sunset for Anya today, she has had a lovely day out and is catching the memories on her mobile which she is protectively clutching to her chest
Winter Robin
A Winter Wonderland background that really makes this adorable Robin pop using the Sandy Allnock Copic Winter Wonderland Course
Duckies
I was taking part in the #thedailymarker30day challenge hosted by Kathy Rac but decided to change this up a little and hit my pencils instead of my markers. I stamped this image with every intention of using my pencils. But if I am honest I hate them, so have moved to much smaller images. These little duckies therefore needed some marker love
Noodle Time
This little beauty looks like she is really enjoying those noodles sat in that noodle bar with a city backdrop
Mad Dog
These delightful doggies remind me so much of our last dog, she was an extremely naughty beagle named Indie, we did love her and she let a huge hole in our lives when she passes but boy life was certainly never boring with her
Mermaid at sunset
Sweet November Stamps have a new release out and while I was waiting for this to arrive I decided to coloured up m mermaids. We were staying in a caravan by the sea when I was doing this one and so it felt fitting that the mermaid was talking to Mr Turtle while the sun was rising. I am totally in love with that sky
Interactive Enchantment
Taken my inspiration for this interactive card from the Sandy Allnock Copic Enchantment Course. This was the first lesson of Sandy's that I ever took and I could not actually believe that I have created the piece when we were finished. This is still one of my favourite scenes and so I decided to change it up a little by using blue turquoises
Shopping Anya
I love quaint market towns with cobble streets and tried to re create this here, i had created the cobbled road though before I spotted the high heels. Maybe not the best attire
Fishes
These little fishes really stole my heart and it was this stamp set that made me determined to learn to colour water scenes
Woodland Visit
A little sit down on a fence while enjoying a stroll. She looks so pretty in her hat and sun dress
Employees of the month
Oh my these 2 gnomes will not be winning the employee of the month award anytime soon
Granny
It is ages since I have used my scan n cut but figured that a nice granny card would be perfect on it. I struggle to get a granny card as most are grandma or nannie
Ruba Dub Duck
Just splashing in the tub. These ducks are sure having fun. I sent this card to my swap partner for the crafty purple frog card swap. You can join next month by joining the crafty purple frog Facebook group
Coffee Time
These 2 adorable critters are relaxing on the sofa in the guest room enjoying a coffee and each others company
Moonlit Mermaid
This little scene was inspired by some Whimsey Slimline paper that I saw a lady use in a Facebook group and I thought oh I have the perfect mermaid for a backdrop like that. I have changed it a little but the general shape and idea is the same
Turtle
I saw with Turtles in the wild when we got married and as much as I am a bit of a scary cat when it comes to creatures, there is something a little magestic and elegant abput the way they glide through the water
Happy Birthday Mum
My mum has always warned us she plans to get old disgracefully, We tell her she best pick her home now then so I thought this would be the perfect card.
A perfect Time To Craft
Well another month gone. When this goes live, I will officially be on my holidays and that means we are in the second half of yet another year...
