Snowman Christmas Card Club card

Hi there ladies, wow another two weeks have wizzed by !!! Here is my card for the challenge set by Vickie. Her challenge was to create a card with a snowman or snow.

I had to sneek making this card !!! I made it while my other half walked the dogs .......... 45 mins !!! hehe !!! He thinks I sat on the couch all that time !!! (Dr has told me to do nothing till baby born .............. yeah right !!!)

Papers are some I had lying around, they are bought ones but cant recall who by !! Image is a LOTV one and I printed the words on the computer, a bit of ribbon and there you go !!! A simple clean card.

Hope you all have a great weekend !!

Love is in the little things .......

Hi there !!!! This week over at C4E the challenge is to follow the sketch below !! We are sponsored this week by Ladybird Crafts Ink !!!!

I used a LOTV image and sentiment for this card. I actually made it straight after my Uncles card hence the colour combo !!! I was just so in the groove with the colours and paper !!! The flowers are the circles on the sketch ........ added to them is a Mariannes die cut heart and Dohickey tag !!! I inked up all the edges of the flowers and tag to go with the colour scheme. Hehe !!! I had everything out of the cupboards looking for my doilies tho !!! What a mess I made !!! Still its all put away now !!

My cousin has an anniversary in Jan so I reckon this will do for that occasion !!! Ooh I love being ahead !!! It wont last for long tho when the baby is here !!! hehe !!!

Have a great weekend everyone !!!

Music Maestro !!

Hi there !!! I know I am safe in posting this card as its for my Uncles birthday and he don't look at crafting blogs !!!! Just music websites !!!! A special card for a special Uncle.

Yes its House Mouse again !!! You all know by now just how much I love them !!! I have a whole list of them in my watch list on ebay ............... just to remind me of what I want to purchase eventually !!! Mmm ............ good job its Christmas coming up and I have to focus pennies on that !!!!

I coloured the image using my water colour pencils. I have to admit I wasn't sure how it would turn out with so much brown and shading .......... but it seems to be ok !!! The paper is from the Cottage Charm selection at Nitwits (yes love their papers too !!! I am tempted by the new set .......... but sitting on my hands !!) The music sheets is a stamp from LOTV. I added glitter around the edges just to make them stand out and inked them up to look old ! Music die cuts are sizzix.

You just cant make another card for my Uncle than music as its his passion !!! Even his pressie (he knows what it is so I am ok saying !!) is music orientated !!! Tickets for him and my other half to a music gig front row seats no less !!!!

Well, just sat here waiting for this little girl to arrive, I am trying to be good and not do too much but you know what its like !!! ! hehe !!!

Have a great day !!!

White and Sparkles !

Well, you ladies know how much I hate doing white cards !!! Well, I actually enjoyed doing this one !!! hehe !!!

This week at Forever Friends the Challenge is white and sparkles and we are sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads. Head on over and check it out !!!

I used an image from my Forever Friends Cd and glittered it up. I glittered the spellbinder die cut up too that its sat on and all the edges of the raised card to give it dimension. I added texture with a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and of course I had to ad those lovely Christmas tree Snowflake decs !!! hehe I am addicted !!! Roses and leaves are also glittered. Its so frustrating as the camera just doesn't pick this up with the white !!

I think this card might just be my daughters Christmas card !!!

I am entering this in:

Clare's set of cards challenge !!

Well its time for our Christmas card club challenge !!! This time Clare set the challenge and got us all busy !!! She asked us to do a set of 4 cards, either matching or not. I decided to do quick simple cards as I had been asked for some cards to pop flat in the post !! Skin flint !!!

I found the lovely die cut of the holly on ebay and added red berry dots to it. Papers are from Nitwits and the sentiment is from the internet too. (I'm no good at coming up with those things !!)

Next time its Vickies challenge and she has asked us to have either snow or a snowman on our card !!

Well as its Sunday I'm cooking a roast dinner. Yum Yum !! Might have to whip up a pudding too !!

Have a great weekend !!
