Give `us a Kiss Gorgeous!!

Hi All~

I want to share with you this Christmas Card I made today, it's for my gorgeous Hubby, and I think he will like the two cute penguins, kissing~ Oh so cute.

I won five Digi images last week over on Abc Christmas Challenge, and this is one of the images I chose (I will show you the others soon, they are so nice).
They are Pink Cat Studio images, go have a look they are so cute:
www.pinkcatstudio.com




I have used my leftover bits of MME Christmas papers, the image is coloured with Pro-Markers. I have used a computer sentiment and the circle and flower shape Nesties. The punched border is a MS. Kept it simple, no embellishments like snowflakes or flowers, hubby likes it like that!

Snowman, You are Sweet!!

Hi All~

I have a card for you tonight made with the stamp that the lovely Heidi sent me after a won the challenge over at Moving Along With the Times, thank you Heidi and I hope you like the card I have made using this sweet snowman.
The image is called "Lampost Snowman" and is by Little Claire Designs.




I have used up some MME Christmas papers in my favorite colour "green", I love green!
The image is coloured with Pro-Markers I have added some green organza ribbon, but it is very sheer, so has not shown up very well on the photo. The sentiment is Personal Impressions, I have used this before and like the way it, looks like a little signpost. I have popped on a few gems and some raindrop spots over the snow. I have cut and embossed my NS poinsettia flower I am so pleased I bought these as I think they look lovely on a Christmas card....I would like to thank Vicky for the heads up on buying them, ta Vicky.

Not a Card~

Hi All~

Hope you are all doing ok.

I have been a bit busy making things for my Christmas Fair on Sunday, so hopefully after then I can have a bit of a chill out and start making my own Christmas Cards!

I have been asked to bring plenty of my little Christmas paper bags on Sunday, so I thought I would share some with you before they go.
I have used the toppers by LOTV and various papers and punches. These two bags have been ordered from me and the lady in question asked for plenty of MS butterflies on them, her wish was my command!

Be back later hopefully with a card made with a stamp I have just had sent to me by Heidi, I won the challenge over at Moving along with the times and won a sweet little Snowman, I will try to show you all later if I get time.

With Love at Christmas~

Hi All~

Hope your week is going well.

This is my all time favorite Christmas image, and it's a digi by Heather Ellis.
I just don't get fed up of using it, and sold quite a lot of them a the fair a few weeks ago, so hopefully I will sell some more this weekend at the next one.
The DP are just leftovers from my bit box, so not sure of their names. the Sentiment is from Craftwork Cards, ribbon is from my stash. I have added some Stardust Stickles.
For the Challenge over at Passion for Pro-Markers they have asked for "Old and New" stash. My new are these papers and Sentimnet, they are only about three weeks old, and the old is the ribbon and charm which I have had since the begining of the year and never used.

Happy Snowman~

Hi All~

I have managed another Christmas card (amongst other things) today.
I have also made a baby bag for a pressy (show you that later) and have done a few pages on one of my calenders.
I do not own any Snowman images, this one was stamped for me when I won over a Die Cut challenge, I do like them, just never bought one!
I have used some of my new red spotty paper (but don't know what make it is), and the snowflakes are wooden and I have coloured them with my Pro-Markers. I have used my new MS punch again, and the lovely little Sentiment Signpost is from Personal Impressions, isn't is cute?

I am going out tonight to a friends house, it's her 50th Birthday Party.
I have made her a card which I showed on the blog a while ago, and I have also made her this little bag which holds some Vera Wang "Rock Princess" perfume, hope she likes it. I have used my new MS Art Deco Punch, isn't it just gorgeous, have wanted this one for ages.
Here is a photo of it~



Have a good night. Debbiexx

Shabby Chic Tilda~

Hello All~
Did you miss me? Or am I being presumptuous!!

I have just come back from my weekend away with my lovely friend Angie. This is our 15th year on the trot Christmas shopping in the city of Glasgow.
I did lots of shopping and have crossed such alot off my list already...Great stuff.

We got talking to a very nice Scottish couple in Hobbycraft on Thursday and they said "You must visit the brilliant Craft World shop on the other side of town, it's amazing".
Now this has happened to me before where someone has said go here and it's great, only for me to get there and be very disappointed....Not this time, It was fantastic, and was only about 6 miles from our hotel in the middle of Glasgow centre.
I bought Nestie's, Stamps, Card, Ribbons, pro-markers and loads of papers! The choice of 12x12 papers were the best I have ever seen, we were ages picking them out.

Onto today's card~

I have chosen this sweet Tilda for today's card. Not sure where I got her from, she not one of my stamps. Recently I did win some Tilda's on a challenge so she could be one of them, I like her anyway.
Papers are from my new Basic Grey Marjolaine Pad, they are so nice and all in these greeny/bluey colours. I have torn all the papers and used Old Paper to ink the edges.
Tilda is coloured with Pro-Markers, and ribbon was from Hobycraft. The sentiment is a craftwork cards circle and I have distressed the edges and used the ink again on here. I have used some staples to finish off the edges of the papers and ribbon.

Traditional Red and Green Christmas~

Hi All~

This will be my last post until I get back from shopping in Glasgow with my lovely friend Angie, we just cannot wait now.
We go Thursday morning and come back Saturday early evening, it's such fun.

Must admit, although it is a Christmas shopping trip (to buy for others) we do try to find Craft shops to have a treat in....However, we struggle every year to find any. There is an art shop in the middle of the city, and Hobbycraft on the outskirts, but we cannot find anywhere else. If anyone has any shops they know of, can you let me know. Thank you girls.




Today's cards are both Christmas cards. Penny Black and LOTV images.
I must admit these two have been my favorite Christmas images this year.
I followed the brief on A Crafty Little place for the Red/Green and White colour combo, and the sketch at Stamp Something. I have used MME Christmas Stack papers and a small corner MS snowflake punch. I have also used my Nestie scalloped oval for the image and sentiment. The other card sketch is Sketch Saturday and the large snowflake on this is the MS large one.

`Twas the night before Christmas...

Hi All~

Back today with yet another Christmas Card, but to be honest it looks like this is going to be the norm for the next few weeks.
I have another Christmas craft fair at the end of November, so am busy making Christmas Cards to put into my selling box!




This is my Penny Black image "Christmas Fairy". I made a few cards using this image recently and they were a great success at last weekends Christmas craft fair, so here I go again making some more.
Unfortunately I don't know the name of the papers used, they were only bought recently but I have looked and cannot see any makers names on it. The border punch and snowflake punch are MS, and I have embossed the red card under the image with the Swiss dot cuttlebug folder.
All coloured with pro-markers.

I am still here!!

Hiya folks~

I have been "absent without leave", due to being so busy with projects on commission. I am afraid without permission I cannot share my makes with you, but hopefully, when I have finished my daughters project, I can share that with you all.

On Saturday Angie and I joined some other crafting girls in a local craft fair. We were selling all our craft goodies (we no longer needed) and I had a large box of cards to sell.
I was really pleased with my card sales. I was selling them at a very affordable price (in fact in people's opinion too low) but at the end of the day I sold over 40 cards, so was very pleased.
I did however have a little spend myself....I know the whole point was to sell, but you just cannot help it can you!!

Onto tonight's card:
My lovely hubby managed to outbid someone on Ebay a few days ago and won me this Sugar Nellie beauty "Pillow Talk"....I have seen a few people have used her on the blog and was delighted when one came up for sale. A Big thank you to my hubby Chris for being the Ebay "King"!!

Another SnowMAN~

Hiya~

Just a quickie.
This is the second of my Nit Wit Snowman Topper cards. I have enjoyed making these last two cards, even though no rubber stamps have been used.
I think they are just a bit different and very easy to make.
I followed the sketch at Sunday Sketch and Stamp, but realised I did not use a stamp so have not entered the challenge, it is a nice sketch though!

Pretty in Pink~

Hi All~

What an awful day here. I have had to have all my lights on as it has been so dark.
I have had a few jobs to do this morning, but did manage to make this easel card this afternoon.
I have used the lovely Tilda image Susie Sugar sent me for winning the challenge over at Die Cut Dreams, thank you Susie. This Tilda is delightful isn't she?

I wanted to follow the challenge over at Totally Tilda, they wanted Pink and Pearls, so I knew I had these gcd papers called "Rose Coloured Glasses", they are all Pinks so match up perfectly with each other. Image is coloured with Pro-Markers.



Not sure where this large scalloped circle came from, under the image I have added a doily and I have die cut a Magnolia Tag. The big flower is Craftwork Cards. I have used Walnut stain ink on the edges of all elements and have used lots of Hobbyhouse pearls to finish off.

Thanks for the Cookie~

Hi All~

How dark is it now the clocks have gone back? I feel like it's the middle of winter already, it is cold enough here for it to be too.

Tonight's card is especially for the boys, Oh yes the dreaded Boy/Man card.
Well not any more, `cos how adorable is this Mo Manning Little Boy Image?
He is just so lovely, and I like the way he is not a skinny little waif, he's a bit on the chunky side....mind you no wonder, stuffing those HUGE cookies. LOL




Anyway, I have used some Basic Grey Pyrus papers, they are just gorgeous, and also the border strip is from the Prima Jack `n Jill collection. I have used Pro-Markers to colour with and the flower and leaf are NS. The sentiment is one of my new circle's from the Greeting Farm range. I love the sentiment circles, in the set there are 6 of them...Lucky, Smile, Hello, Friend, Thanks and Love.
Gosh I have found alot of challenges this card fits!

Double Trouble~

Hiya All~

Last night went well, I managed to see the result of X Factor and Strictly, and keep around 25 Witches happy with candy!!
I still had quite a few Trick or Treaters, but not as many as last year, now I get to eat any candy that's left!

Today's cards are more Christmas cards to add to my growing collection. I am hoping to sell some at the weekend, as it's a local Craft Fair. I also have some for my mum and Nana and myself of cause, so I don't think you can make too many, do you?

I have used the very sweet and funny Penny Black stamp called Christmas Fairy, and MME Christmas papers. The zig zag punch is MS, swirl is Magnolia and sentiments are Craftwork Cards. I have finished with pearls and a brad.
I have just realised when I uploaded the photo's, that they do look a bit busy, I certainally did not follow the "Less is More" rule did I?
Never mind, Christmas is all about bling isn't it?
