What I've been up to!

Making more cards of course! Apart from the 10 million other things on my to do list!
But Christmas is coming and I need to get my cards ready, but I can't help but play around with my sets so sometimes I can sit all day and just do one card! Then I usually decide it's not good enough and start on a different one!
This is card uses a set called 'Snow Swirled' which I've had for ages and even though I have some new Christmas stamps I can't resist this gorgeous tree!

For my birthday my wonderful husband got me a few extra things.....Including this 'Stitched Stocking' set which has a matching punch, so no cutting out! Yay! These are a couple of note cards I made, measuring 5x7 cm, so they fit the scalloped envelope perfectly, they are so cute! 


Have you ever made something you like so much you don't want to give it away? Well I'm feeling a little possessive about this one. The girl, "Miss Anya", stamp is from Greeting Farm stamps, they are really cute. I coloured her with Copic markers, the best markers ever...and maybe the most expensive, but worth it, doesn't she look good? I distressed the edges of the paper with a fine sanding block made just for this purpose, so you can see the white of the paper coming through, an effect I quite like!


Thanks for looking and keep watch for more projects coming soon!!

Starting to think Christmas-y thoughts!!

When I saw Christmas decorations in the shop I couldn't believe it was that time of year again!!! It always creeps up so quick and I'm the girl at Chermside late at night 2 days before Christmas!!!
Maybe I will be a bit better this year........
I say that every year!
Well I started thinking about cards, so here is number 1! I made a little ornament too, just stamp, punch and stick! Looking forward to getting the New Stocking Set, just in time for more Christmas card making!
