Xmas Card #06

Brrrr, its cold enough for snow again here.  I'm not long back from a walk with Ruby-doo, and even she wasn't hanging about for a sniff!  Definitely an evening for turning the heat on and getting my cosy socks out :)

This card was inspired by this week's featured stamper at Splitcoast - here's Nancy's original
My image is from Sugar Nellie, and sentiment from Paper Smooches.

Xmas Card #01

Yip, I'm determined to be ahead of myself this Christmas!
I knew I had this stamp in my stash, I turned the house upside down looking for it a couple of months ago, and of course just put my hand on it today!

This card was inspired by this week's featured stamper at Splitcoast ... here's Angela's original.
Image from Sugar Nellie - coloured with promarkers and touches of glitter added to their noses and buttons.  Image and DP panels popped up on dimensionals.  Paper Smooches sentiment.

Friendship Blues

Oh Brrrrrr it's such a chilly day today, a wee touch of sleety snow this morning but no sign of the proper stuff yet.  I'm busting to get making a snowman! (... yes, I was 6 years old last birthday LOL)

This card took me aaages to make, I'd bits on and bits off and still don't know if I'm happy with it or not.  I kinda wish I hadn't punched the wee red leaves.
The image is an old Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie, but I gave her a wee smiley mouth from one of the Paper Smooches snowdudes sets.  Sentiment also from Paper Smooches.
Gorgeous new DP from My Minds Eye.

I'm Back!

Hi folks, I know I've been off the radar for a while, its been a very busy Christmas and New Year, and I've also been spring cleaning and painting my kitchen (and recovering from my New Year's celebrations)!  But back to work on Monday BooHoo so hopefully normal service will resume.  We've also a new release from High Hopes coming your way soon ... sneaky peaks will begin on Monday!

This card uses an old Sugar Nellie stamp - coloured with copics and flower soft added to her pompoms.  My fancy corner die is from Simon Says Stamp and the postmark sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.
