Button card

I just love buttons, who doesn't . Here is a card I have made using lots of pink buttons. Very contemporary papers, love the pink in the xmas theme. I have cut out a triangle shape to make a button christmas tree and embellished the rest of the card. Stamp is from Stampin up. Just love Stampin up stuff. Just about to place a little order this week. It's like christmas every time when you get a parcel from them. :D

Cards for the woolen shop

I am sooo pleased I have finished all the cards for the woolen shop. Here is one of Sarah's favorites (Sarah is the owner of the woolen shop) The shops logo is a sheep so she is obsessed by sheep, naturally!! Here I have used the Sofia die for the cuttlekids machine. I just used it with an adapter in my little sizzix sidekick. Put some antlers and a scarf on to tie in with the shop. I have also made some with santa hats and wellies.

Cute stamp

Here is a card I made superquick for a lady that gave me a hand me down snowsuit for Jed. She is a very nice lady but I had 20 minutes to make this card, so it's not very good. But she liked it. I wanted to put it on the blog since I love that cute stamp. But I have totally forgotten which company that has this stamp. Please forgive me, I will find out. Had a shot of it from one of my pals. Coloured it in superfast (as you can see..hahaha...) with watercolour pens and a blender pen. Have a good evening.

Gorgeous Sugar Nellie Snowmen!!

How much I love the Homegrown range from Sugar Nellie. The snowmen are my favorite, they are just soo cute. Here is another card I have made using these stamps. I handcut some scrolls from a patterned paper and glued it on, not sure if you can see it clearly on the photo. Love the little "ho ho ho" snowman button that's in the left top corner, even though my partner said it doesn't go on the card...tough!! He is my biggest critic...it's funny he is very honest with me which is great, but it would be interesting to see him making a card matching papers and buttons...that would be hilarious!! (MEN!!!)..hahaha...anyways I have nearly finished making something else that nearly took me all night last night...but I just couldn't leave it and go to bed....tune in tomorrow evening to see the result of my most fiddliest project so far. Have a good weekend and thanks for looking!

Tilda criss cross card

Had a shot of my very nice pal's Tilda stamp the other day. Coloured it in with promarkers and decided to make a little purple criss cross card with it. With a tag ofcourse!! Using my new xmas papers again. I do love traditional christmas colours but it's nice to use something different! Glued some miniscule glitter dots inside each of the little snowflakes on the paper, don't think you can see it on the picture, but it makes such a difference on the card. Took ages but was worth it...now I just have to figure out who's getting it for a xmas card...

Busy busy!

OMG, I have been working my fingers to the bone this last week!! But I got my reward yesterday, got some new papers from Papercraft Boutique in Elgin, a massive 72 page 12" stack from DCWV. It's called Rose Tinted Christmas and Christmas wishes. I was after a 6" stack of each but when I found them both in a pack for only £11, I was sold!!! So off I went home and went totally mad making things...had a good time though. Here is a little Magnoli snowman minibook. I put some green sparkly string between his hands and handcut some baubles to add detail. Hope you like it. Now for another few posts....

Double dutch challenge 5

The challenges on Doubledutch are just getting better and better! This fortnight the theme is "don't be a square, be a triangle", and there is a template for this cute triangle box. I made mine a christmassy one with a Magnolia Tilda stamp. I went for some unusual contemporary pink, brown and green xmas papers. Really like them. There is some gorgous prices to win on the challenge blog!! I am away to pack up all my cards for the woolen shop...see ya tomorrow. Hugs from me!

PTW - Dawny's Sketch #2

This is the second week I am participating in PTW challenge and I am loving the challenges! This week it is a sketch by Dawny to follow. I have made a xmas card with a snowman from Sugar Nellies range Homegrown. Love the stamps. You can buy them at www.funkykits.co.uk . I have coloured them in with watercolour pencils. There is loads of lovely DT cards to inspire you on the PTW blog. There is a link on the right under my favorite challenges if you want to have a look. Have a good thursday!

Gorgeous illustrations!

OMG, have you been on the Sugar Nellie blogsite this morning. ( www.sugarnellie.blogspot.com )I had a look at the new stamp illustrator Leanne Ellis. How gorgeous is this picture with the buttons and all!!! There is a link to her blog on the sugarnellie website, so have a look. Her stuff is sooo cool and different! I am still busy making cards for the local woolen shop. 10 to go and then I have to get them packaged...no rest for the wicked!! Have a good day and thanks for stopping by!

Ded Rabbit

Sounds a bit morbid doesn't it..lol...no this little drawing is a logo I did a while ago for my partners brothers. (he's got five) 4 of them are in a band called "Ded Rabbit" (don't know where they got the name from) They are really brilliant and has been playing gigs for years now. The singer is a mear age of 14. Doesn't look it though, he is 6 ft3!!!

They are really talented but ofcourse their dad is a music teacher so how could they not be. I am into playing music myself. Play drums and bass guitar, whenever I get a minute I go to the mother in laws house and make some noise with the boys! It's great!!! If you want to hear their songs, go to www.myspace.com/dedrabbit .

Have a nice evening and see you all tomorrow. Hugs from me!
