star card

Hello there! How are you? I'm feeling a bit more positive - thanks for your kind comments about Missy - I really do miss her - the kids want us to have another pet but I'm not ready for any such thing - and won't be for a long time! They will just have to wait!

Our visit to santa was lovely - we went to some nearby caves and saw him there - here's some pictures ...

      

Oh I love my girls - they are a real tonic - even if they do drive me crackers!!!!

Onto todays card - this is one from my 3 months at Fiskars....


I used a circle punch and made a mask that I inked through. I also added the small punched stars/ The larger circle was cut using the fiskars shape cutter. The stamps on it were from Birgit koopson and Indigo Blu.

I am off to the girls nativity tomorrow - I look forward to it!

Have a good evening!

Hugs

  1. So clever how you've done those stamped circles - and I love all the varied shades of green. Looks like you had lots of fun on your Santa visit - who knew he lives in a cave?!

  4. Great pictures, Rachel! That's funny and odd visiting Santa in a cave :-) But with Eszter we just read an English book 'The Christmasaurus' and what the writer tells about the elves and other Christmassy things!!! Well, that's really weird and funny too :-) Great card too, it's interesting and I love it that you used different greens to create it! Big hugs

  7. Fantastic photos of you and the girls, visiting him a cave is certainly different. I love the card you've made and the fact that you made your own mask. Glad you are feeling more positive.
