Bez's card

Hello there lovelies - I hope this is working - its a scheduled post - I'm off to pick up my mother in law today for Christmas - and this is going to be her Christmas card.

I've used the stamp 'Christmas Dress' from Crafty sentiments Designs - and teamed it with blue and brown papers from LOTV and an LOTV sentiment. The image has been cut out using a spellbinders die and there's a corner snowflake die by memory box and a fence die by Marianne designs in there too.

a fine romance

Morning lovelies - wasn't it cold yesterday? Bitter up here - I just hope its not so bad today! I did have a chuckle at my aerobics class yesterday - its part of the Rosemary Conley diet and exercise club and the instructor turned up in a blow up sumo suit - and told us that this is what would happen if we didn't come to class!!! Ha Ha ! Nice one Mandi!!!!

I've got a card to share with you today that I made a while ago - its got an image by Humphreys corner on it - from Crafters Companion.

I 've coloured the image with promarkers and cut an aperture using a heart die and my grand kalibur. The embossed card is hunky dory and the heart card is from my stash.

the elusive owl tree

Morning lovelies - hope you are well on this fine morning - its very icy here - so I think my run will be cancelled - and replaced by an aerobics class in the warm and dry!!!!

Got a card to show you today that is very simple - it includes the owl tree stamp from little claire - I first tried to get hold of this just after it launched - and at a few shows thereafter - but finally I've managed to get hold of it - sooooo cute! I've teamed it with some fabulous bazzill basics paper courtesy of Nat at NG cards - I was lucky enough to win her candy a week or so ago!!! Thanks again Nat!!! It certainly isn't a traditional Christmas card - but I like it!

The sketch is as follows:

And this is what I did using the image Mistletoe from Kenny K that you can get here.

Evie's card

Evening all - well to say the sale was rubbish is an understatement - at least I managed to get half a scarf knitted though so I guess there's my silver lining!!!! You can't win them all! At least my Christmas craft evening in the village last night went well and we made a staggering (lol) £60 for the PTA!!!! Every little helps!!!

Onto today - a card I made for my niece Evie's 8th birthday:

It was yesterday so I'm safe to show it now - its coloured with promarkers and the die is a spellbinders die. I've also used Claritystamp number and letters.
