Lilac Christmas.

Morning everyone, just a quick post with another Christmas card. You must be getting fed up with my Christmas cards by now. I was very busy yesterday (Sunday). In the afternoon I sorted out all my cards. What a pain it is deciding who gets what lol! Then I wrote them and sorted them into various piles. Cards to post. Cards for work and customers and friends I'd see at work. Cards to take with me to the Guild meal tonight (Monday) and the WRI on Wednesday. Nightmare.

As you can see this did not get posted on Monday morning. My broadband went off on Sunday evening and didn't come on again. I was at work all day on Monday and then out for a lovely meal and a really fun evening with the Guild. When we came out it was really windy and wet so I had to nip out and bring the car to the door for my elderly passengers. Internet was still dodgy but if this turns up on Tuesday morning it must have stayed on long enough to let me post it. I'll come back at night to add more details!

Thanks for looking and I hope I can catch up later.

I used :-
Trees :- Memory Box die
Sentiment :- Heritage stamps.
Card Candi :- Craftwork Cards.
Jewels, ribbon and Glamour Dust.

I'm entering the following challenges :-
Sir Stampalot :- Bingo - I chose punch, tag, ribbon.
Fussy and Fancy :- Christmas tree inspiration photo.

I did intend to enter the Papertake Weekly challenge but thanks to my broadband problems it didn't happen. Never mind I've probably got more important things to do at the moment lol!

Pink and Girly!

Hi everyone. After my exciting time at the Girls Want to Have Fun with Kath, Debbi and Anne on Saturday I haven't achieved anything else this week.

2nd Post Today.

Here I am again girls with another card. Mr Blogger was very good and my scheduled post for the Just Cute Bears challenge appeared at the right time. That's 2 days in a row as yesterday's post for Totally Gorjuss appeared at the right time too.

This afternoon I have been making a card for a few challenges. I think I might make a couple of cards and then get on with my DT cards so that I've got them done in plenty of time!

I followed this nice simple sketch from The Pink Elephant challenge and ended up with a Christmas card! I stamped the bell and the holly on white card and then stamped them again on gold and white respectively and the clapper on red. I won these stamps ages ago when Kath had some blog candy and at last I've managed to use them. I decoupaged the bell, the clapper and the holly. Please don't ask why I decoupaged the holly, it nearly drove me loopy. Ever tried to cut out something as small and awkward as this? Believe me don't even go there lol!!

I also used Nesties, a Martha Stewart punch, Promarkers, the Cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder and Stickles. The DP is Cosmo Cricket - Jolly by Golly and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and it is edged with a gold inkpad.


I'm going to enter the following challenges:-

Pollycraft :- Red and white.
Creative Card Crew :- Punch it.
Simon Says Stamp :- Punch it.
ABC Christmas challenge :- B for bells plus glitter.
Fussy and Fancy :- Winter - Christmas ok?
Daring Cardmakers :- What's the point?

I might be pushing my luck with the Daring Cardmakers challenge but the holly has points and if you like so do some of the snowflakes! I've kept the card quite simple as it is quite a small card and I think it would be a bit crowded if I had added anything else to it.

And that's it really, nothing else I can say about it really. I'm off to see if I can do anything else before I "need" to do my ironing.
