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

Creative Inspirations - Walking Along in a Winter Wonderland

Good Morning Everyone! Today is Wednesday which means only 1 thing a FAB new challenge over on Creative Inspirations our New theme is Winter Wonderland. Now I struggled with this as I didn't want to make a card..........I knew what I wanted & it didnt turn out right so off it went into the bin & then on attempt 7 this came together, still not what I had in mind BUT I liked it!

My card stock is a lovely powerdy blue from the paper mill, aceat has been embossed with cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder, ribbon from my stash, Winter scene & Tilda ice-skating are both Magnolia & have been colored with Pro Markers. On the top of the box is a BIG snowflake which was cut with Cuttlebug die & COVERED with Stardust Stickles.
Inside the box is a little bag with Chocolate Snowballs. Once you have eaten the snowballs I thought it might then be used to add a little batery operated tea-light candle......what do you think??

I'm entering my box into a few other challenges too, which are:
Totally Tilda - Icy Colors
Bunny Zoe's - Christmas NOT a card
Sir Stampalot - Christmas Traditions, snowball fights & ice-skating is VERY traditional!

I hope you will visit us & join in with our challenge HERE. See you all soon! x x x x

Quick Christmas Cards

Morning Peeps! How are we all today?? I am feeling way better today woooooo hooooooo finally feeling more human again!

I wanted to share with you some SUPER quick cards I made this morning. I always struggle to mak cards for my work mates as there's so blinking many of them it would take me a year if I took my normal length of time on them!! Lol

For my first card I've used the Magnolia Candy Cane - I knew as soon as I saw it it would look fab just colored in & on a card in it's own right! I LOVE Candy canes, I have some for my tree, I saw them last year & didn't buy them it took me about 3 weeks to remember where I saw them & had to rush back to buy them they are FAB & glittery!! I've used swiss dots embossing folder to emboss the white card & the greeting is from the Wavy Winter Wishes Set.

My next card is Sitting Angel Tilda - isn't she super cute??? White card has been embossed with cuttlebug snowflakes & swiss dots embossing folder, circles are cut using nestabilities dies & Tila has been colored with Pro Markers. I LOVE how her tights look like candy canes!!! Lol

My last card is a super duper cute High Hopes Santa, this images was sent to me by my FAB blog buddy Corinne. The foil Christmas paper is by papermania & te greeting is from those great little 99p sets!

Morning Folks!
I hope you are all well...I have a few piccies for you today. I made a Calender last year for my mam & she loved it (except I didnt make a page for June....oops!) so I thought I would make another this year & try to make a page for every month this time LOL

February

June
August

October

My favourite page is August.....honest I am loving mermaid Tilda. Not only that I'm loving thistle Tilda.....I may have to invest in some Halloween images, now the hard decision....which ones???? Hope you all have a good day. See you all soon! x x x x

Tilda & Edwin kissing at Christmas....

.....eeee aren't Tilda & Edwin naughty kissing under the mistletoe!LOL I've been wanting to make a shaped easel card for a while & here is my first attempt..... I used heart plain & scalloped nesties, magnolia paper (the berry paper is my fave!! I flinch when cutting into it!) I colored Tilda & Edwin in pro markers in lovely Christmassy colors & the greeting was printed from my pc says "Christmas wishes & Mistletoe Kisses". Card doesnt really stand up properly like an easel should, so sssssssh don;t tell anyone but all in all not too bad for a first attempt, or would you disagree??

I'm watching Buffy right now.......my my my the delish David Boreanaz is in this but I must admit I prefer him as FBI Agent Seeley Booth, so I may switch to Bones after another episode......(PS have you seen my eye candy shop & the bottom of my sidebar...any suggestions on who else should feature there??) See you all soon x x x

Dangling Edwin..

....is dangling on my blog today OMG I'm loving these images (Thanks soooo much Nat for copies!) As soon as I saw this Edwin I was like nahhhhh I don't like him....as you can see I have changed my mind I think he's super cute! Only thing I dont like is I should've had the ship background lower as to not see so much of the white scallop but hey you learn by your mistakes ...so they say!

Stripe paper is printed from the WWW, card stock from the papermill, images magnolia colored with pro makers, Martha Stewart double loop punch, doodlebug rik rak ribbon & plain & scalloped circle nesties cut & embossed in cuttlebug.

Ooooooooooooo I hope Magnolia & Mr Postie send these images quick smart I don't think I can wait much longer.........(can you hear me drumming my fingers impatiently on my desk???) I'm gonna have a day with DVD's still feeling dodgy, waiting my blood test results & right now I'm watching Bad Girls, remember when it was good & not trashy like Footballers Wives, well Im watching way back at the beginning of the good part!! See you all soon!! x x x x
