And so we're back!!

From outer space...

I just walked in to find...

Lol ok this is not where this post was supposed to be going! Nope it was instead just supposed a short update to let everyone know that we're back and will be updating both the blog and our facebook page more regularly. So to everyone who has stuck with us over, and to all the new people we're looking forward to meeting over the coming year...a big HELLO and THANK YOU for joining us!! We hope you'll enjoy reading about our crafty makes.

Talking of crafty makes...2013 wasn't the greatest of years for us all at Little-Lady's, but despite that we were still crafting. I won't bore you with all of the things we've made over the last however many months...that would take hundreds of posts...Oh wait a second lol!! Hmm. Perhaps I should set myself another of our "post a day" challenges? For how long? Well...lets see how long our crafty makes last shall we lol

So starting with today...

Back in November we spent the weekend in Birmingham at the Hobbycrafts show at the NEC. For anyone that doesn't know or hasn't been. They turn the NEC into one almighty craft shop with hundreds of stalls selling an array of things we always decide we don't need, yet inevitably walk away laden with bags of goodies! One of the items we decided we didn't need was a snowflake die. "will we really use it that much"..."Do we need it" were just a couple of the questions we'd asked ourselves. Yet as you're probably guessing, we did in fact buy it. Oh and what a bargain it was too. Not only did we use the die, but I think we 'over used' the die!! Well, it was difficult not to once we'd seen how pretty it could be! 

I chose to make the card in pink and white for Lady...

Then it got made in blue...

In teal...

In purple...

Slight variation to black and white...

Purple again (but with black!)

Yellow and black...

And finally pink and black!!

So I think we proved we DID need the die! lol For our not so crafty friends, the 'die' part was the snowflake background. It's cut four times in the differing colours, then glued to it's opposing colour. Add the circles on top of that with a very cute 'snowy' and another snowflake, and voila! You have this card (in lots of colours). And for our more crafty friends, the die we used was 'snowflake mesh border - B372 by Cheery Lynn Designs, snowy is a stamp from Penny Black and the 'Let it Snow' was from Tonic Studios as part of the Christmas Sentiment Die  set 1.

Oh and I almost forgot! I hope you like the new look we've given our blog!
