Christmas Star

Well that`s all my Christmas shopping done, prezzies wrapped and under the tree, cards distributed and the cake made! Haven`t I done well? I`m not sure what happened this year to get me so organized! Usually I`m running around like a headless chicken on Christmas Eve panicking to get the last minute bits and pieces done but this year it`s all in the bag so I can relax in a pre-Christmas glow and look forward to the big day ...... ( unless I`ve forgotten something ... or someone...) NO! don`t go there, I`m pretty sure it`s all done! YAY me!

Anyway, I`m soooo organized that I actually made more cards than I needed and here is one of them, well that gets me ahead for next year then!

This is an LOTV image - Christmas Star, coloured with Distress Inks and markers with a bit of Glamour dust for sparkle. Papers are Bo Bunny from Sir Stampalot Dies are from Joy Craft - Winter Wishes border and snowflake.

I`d like to enter this into the Allsorts Challenge which is "Snowflakes"

And Papertake Weekly which is "Last Christmas card of the year"

I`d like to wish everyone out there in Blogland a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I`ll see you all in 2014.

Wee Winter Fairy.

Another Christmas card to add to the growing pile, quite a simple design for me this time. This is a Wee Stamps image - Winter Fairy.
I`ve coloured with Distress Inks and Markers and added lots of Glamour Dust sparkle to the snow and fur and wings. You can`t have a fairy without sparkle!
The backing paper is Bo Bunny, Cheery Lynn - Holly Flourish die, Tim Holtz - Tattered Poinsettia die and SU sentiment and Rhinestone.
I`ve also overstamped the backing paper with SU Serene Snowflakes and embossed with holographic glitter but not too sure it shows up well in the photo.

Thanks for looking in xx

A bit of flag waving

Here is another of the Little London Magnolia collection, I just couldn`t resist this little guy and he will be wending his way to my best mate Sally. We call her our English stick of rock because if you sliced her down the middle she would have England or a Union Jack printed all the way through her like a stick of rock! She is the most patriotic person I know and she will love this little fella.



This is the back of the little pull out tag. I decided in my infinite wisdom, to staple the ribbons on, (that was my first mistake) as my mini stapler decided to ping the first staple across the room and dump the inner workings of my stapler onto the surface of my craft desk! after a lot of fiddling and muttering I managed to get it back together but next time I will just punch a hole in the tag and thread the ribbon through methinks!!

Other products used - Ruby Rock-It vintage papers, La La land Heart Banner die, hobby house pearls, Distress Inks and Markers.

I`d like to enter this into Tilda`s Town challenge which this time around is "Anything Goes"

Fancy a Cuppa?

I`m back after a longer than anticipated break. Decorating is finished, Craft room up and running and then my mojo packed her bags and went well and truly awol for months..... But I`m back to full steam now, mojo back in place and locked down and raring to go...

I fell in love with the Little London collection from Magnolia, who couldn`t! here is Tilda with her cup of tea! I can`t do without a cuppa so I can identify with this little lady!

K & Co papers, La La Land die, Martha Stewart punch all available from Sir Stampalot. Flowers WOC.

As you can see I`ve been playing about with my Blog design, as you can also see I have no idea what I`m doing LOL, but I`m being brave and clicking buttons to see what happens ! (I`m terrified I might accidentally delete all my posts) but I`ll keep experimenting until I get it right so please bear with me :)
