Tilda visits Edwin Claus.....

Morning Peeps!

I hope you are reading this & I have managed to get it to post at a scheduled time.....I never normally can do it!!

I'm currently loving using more than 1 Magnolia stamp on my cards, on this one Tilda has gone to Visit Edwin Claus to drop off her Christmas Wish List, Edwin is checking his list as he is a wee bit unsure to wether or not Tilda is on the good list, just when he thinks he's found her she helps herself to a present!!

I've used card from paper mill, paper is forever friends cosy Christmas, Magnolia stamps Santa Edwin, Chair & Sneaky Tilda all stamped in Memento & colored with pro markers, LOTV sentiment & ribbon from my stash.

I do hope you've enjoyed yourself at Edwin Claus' lodge, he cant stick around for long as he is MEGA busy making sure he has lots of pressies for me as today is my birthday & only 34 days 'til Christmas!!! See you soon!!! x x x

Ps its Sunday so pop over to Jacque's Blog for another Sunday Sensation from Magnolia-licious!

You're all invited to Tilda's Christmas Party..

Morning All!!!

I hope you are all well......my foot is still a bit sore but I'm excited for Potter Friday!!! If I can make it down my 50steps I will be off to the 11.45 showing of Hary Potter & the Deathly Hallows - ARGH!

Anyway enough Potter Talk & onto my latest Christmas Card....I saw a gorgeous card made by the ever so talented Mindy & I had to have a go at my own version. I used DP by Forever Friends, Martha Stewart Doily lace edge punch & 3 Magnolia's - Tilda unwrapping gifts, Tilda give's a Christmas Hug & Sneaky Tilda - they have all been stamped in Memento & colored with Pro Markers & Sickles added round the edges, sentiment is by LOTV - I just LOVE them!

Now Christmas Parties are going to be starting soon.....I just hope I get my invie to Tilda's Pary as it looks soooooo much fun! I MUST dash now as I'm watching Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince - I NEED to be up to speed! Last time I went to see the Half Blood Prince at the flicks and I couldn't really remember what had happened oops! See you all later & I'll let you know how the film was - if I can make it!!! x

I hope you're all well....I have been kept busy with this card today. Honest I feel like I'v been making it for about 2 years lol! I hate being blonde & getting distracted by the littlest thing...anyone else struggle with this??

Anyway back to my card......I've made it for the challenge on the Truly Scrumptious blog their challenge is a sketch with the added twist of an easel card...now I didn't really need an excuse to make an easel card as I do love them but I saw the sketch & didn't really love it at first but after looking at the DT work I thought this is one challenge I must do....so well done DT!! Lol

My card is 6x6 bigger than I normally make...but seens as it's Christmas why not.....card is from the Paper Mill the vintage christmas box, paper is Forever Friends cosy christmas, brads are dovecraft, corners have been embossed with cuttlebug swiss dots, & plain & scalloped ovals cut with nestabilities on cuttlebug, Magnolia Tila & Santa Edwin colored with pro markers.

When I first saw this Tilda I knew I wanted to have a greeting with something about being good.....and measuring it with the size of your arms as I used to do this for everything when I was little!!! I hope you all like my little card for today& can pop back to see me soon!

I'm off to see what else I can come up with.....TTFN X x X

ABC Christmas Challenge S is for...

....Santa!
Afternoon Blogland! I've been trapped indoors this weekend. The junior great North Run goes right past my flat, there's barriers put up & it's hard to get out & then you have to start climbing....well not good when your a shop-a-holic like me....plus this year it was all on the BBC so don't think the British public wanna watch me climb over barriers LOL

As I've been stuck in......(which has been a good thing as the weather is naff) I've been making cards, I thought I'd get a start on my Christmas cards. Some I can't show you just yet..... but the card I'm sharing with you now is for the ABC Christmas Challenge & this weeks theme is S for Santa but no red allowed! Now this was hard for me as I love Christmas & the tradition of it all Santa should be red.....but I must admit he does look good in blue!!!

For my card I used card stock from the paper mill, paper is Forever Friends, Magnolia Santa colored with Pro Markers, cut with Nesabilities label 1 die, Diamond stickles round the edge & Dovecraft "Santa was here" stamp, the stars are a punch that I have in my stash.....no idea where it came from sorry!!!

I bought a Wire in the Blood Boxset from here a few weeks back 14 discs - OMG I'm in my element.....I love Robson Green in this, it plays it so well so it's on repeat........so I'm watching Dr Tony Hill & Christmas crafting all day long........might be back later with more creations! x x x
