WEEK 27 on the GlitterGeeks.blogspot-Let It Snow

Week 27 DT work was entitled Let It Snow and Sponsored by the lovely Nikky Hall from PolkaDoodles.


I decided to make something different-me different...never! LOL I used to have a Gorjuss Girl kit many moons ago and it was a theatre type card. I only wish I had kept one to use as a template!!!! So, I began with my ruler and knife and made my own
as you can see this template took alot of battering before I eventually got it right.

Rather than use card to make the characters stand. I used acetate and cut slits into the sides. I used Polkadoodles Christmas Boutique papers and stamps. My trusty Flexmarkers to colour and added detail with a white Sakura pen.

So, here is the card : Hope you like it :)









Alot of work, but I liked it when I had finished and decided to make one for my BFF in Finland Anna Riitta...this time I added Miss Scarlett :)

Ok, best get on, stilllllll have more Christmas cards to make as the low tack tape...wasn't that at all and ripped all the work I had done. My wrists are sore and will be happy when this batch are finished believe me.They are not perfect but will have to do as definately not making any more! 
On the plus side all presents but one, are bought. I love wrapping so can't wait to get started doing that.

Thanks for reading and hope you have a hassle free week....presents, cards, tree up, shopping etc impossible I know but please try. 
Love and Christmas Spirit to you all.....

GG DT: Theme is....Two's Company-need 2 of something on card.

I'm having a fight with Blogger at the moment. I posted this on the glittergeeks blog 3x and never went through. I posted this on here and has vanished too!! So as not to disappoint here it is again :) 

The theme, as in the title is Two's Company and is outlined as, 2 of something...2 of anything on your work. The Sponsor is Willow Designs.

I decided to use the Sprinkles of Kraft CD. Nikky Hall's (polkadoodles.)CD which has a few of Sharon's Willowdesign images on.

My 2's are: 2 Trees, 2 Birds, 2 Birdhouses, 2 flowers in Birds beak....I even used 2 backing papers from the same CD!! The images I used the black and white Digi stamps and I coloured using my fav Flex and ProMarkers from Letraset

The ribbon is from Cosmo Cricket. Crystals from Swarovski....think thats everything!

I have had a horrid week with my Father in hospital with an infection following his surgery and I have woken up this morning full of cold. Will see how I go on as might have to rest all week = No crafting :(  
Having ME means I'm susceptible to germs...drives me insane.
Am having a cup of Hot Ribena as I type so hopefully that will fix me.

Till Next time...

Glitter Geek Design Team

Hi Guys,

Sorry I have been AWOL for so long. I have been quite ill with an ear infection which left me completely deaf for nearly 3 weeks. I was allergic to the given meds and had to go to hospital to the ENT consultant..basically it was a nightmare! 
On top of me being ill, Miss Scarlett has had a tummy bug so she has been to the vets for injections and medications too.


Anyway that's the bad news out of the way...I have some brilliant news! The Glitter Geeks have invited me to become a member of their Design Team!! :) I will be adding my work when I can. ... Steph has been wonderful with understanding all my health issues and contributing issues. They are a lovely bunch of girlies and feel honoured to be a part of it all.

I haven't been able to craft so I have been watching Barbara Gray's new DvD. Taken many tips and hoping to make Clarity cards for my Christmas cards this year...Not as easy as it looks I can tell you! 
Going to take ALOT of practise before I can make my work into cards.

Ok, as I haven't got any new cards I thought I would show you all some cards and 'just colouring in' I did a few months before I started this blog. *be warned there might be a few pics!*
