Tilda in the Ice & Snow

Good Morning All

How are we all today? It's flippin' freezing here in Newcastle I'm pleased I'm at work.......I can turn the heating up FULL Blast!

I'm sharing a card with you today which I have made for the ABC Challenge, which is I is for Ice & Snow appropriate eh?!?!?!? I have used Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper, card stock from paper mill, Magnolia Angel Tilda & Tree & snowflakes stamp, colord with pro markers, x-cut snowflake punch & stardust stickles EVERYWHERE LOL This card also fits into the Just Magnolia anything goes with SPARKLE!

I'm getting pushed for time on making cards for th people I work with so when I saw this on Lisa's blog I thought "Ooooooooooh what a FAB Idea" & a perfect little gift for my work mates. I used card stock from the paper mill, labels 1 & circle nesties, Whipper Snapper Reindeer stamp colored with pro markers & the "noses" are red m&m's!

For the managers I thought of something more appropriate - Reindeer Pooooo!
This has been made with chocolate, cornflakes & mini-marshmallows! So the name does not sound so but it tastes delish'!!
I've made 10, only another 13 to go!!! ARGH

Well I'm off to work......fingers crossd I get there in one piece & can get back as all the buses have been going off early due to icy roads! TTFN x x x

Creative Inspiraions Christmas Decoraions NO CARDS!

Morning All!
How are we all?? Well the world has nearly come to a stand still here in Newcastle, for as long as I can remember we've been COVERED with snow!!! Yes it does look pretty but after nearly slipping 6 times a day & ALL the buses have been of after 7pm since Saturday as it's too bad to drive in it gets a bit boring - but fun at work.......I went in on Monday I started at 4pm, bus was late so got there at 4.20pm..........checked the buses website at 4.30pm & shop was closed at 6pm I was supposed to be there 'til 10pm soooooooooo woooooooooooo BUT I had to stand in the cold & wet or an hour to sit at work for an hour FOR NOTHING!!! Lol

Well thats my moan over with...........Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it's Wednesday & my day off but that also means a new FAB challenge at Creative Inspirations!

This week we have the theme of Christmas Decorations NO Cards Allowed!! I struggled on this challenge I think he snow has taken my mojo But I was in the £ shop & saw these mega cute mini Candy Canes & thought "Awwwwwww I MUST Have these" I have another idea for a couple so "Ssssssshhhhhh" it's a secret!!!

For my DT inspiration I made a Candy Cane holder - as the cany canes are so weee they might get lost, so I thought it would be good to have a holder for them, I used my nesties & Magnolia Candy Cane stamp, colored with pro markers & clear 99p Merry Christmas Stamp! I do hope you will all pop over & join in with us...visit us HERE as we have a BRILLIANT prize ....

Ok as i's a cold & snowy, & miserable morning here in Newcastle I have something to cheer you up & get you moving & shaking, my new favourite song

How is everyone managing in the snow? I started work yesterday at 12noon, was supposed to be in there until 8pm, but the Metro Centre sent a message out at 5 to 6 saying buses were going off at 7pm, so we had to close early as the shop has to have more than 1 person in it!!

I might go & adjust the clock for a wee bit Im sure it looks like it could be middnight outside I mean it is dark & grey ouside anyway LOL!!! x x x

So for my card oday I thought I would try & keep it simple & just use Santa.......I used red & white card stock, mbossed the white card with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing Folder & colored Santa with Pro Markers, cut a square scalloped nestie for Santa & a circle one for the greeting......the inside is decorated pretty much the same but without the circle greeting & on the white sqaure I have the phrase "Ho Ho HO!!"

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

Im here with a Christmas card I've made for my pal James, he only came to work with us last December but I can't imagine the place without him....I've had to a couple of times as he's quite dramatic & keeps handing his notice in!! Lol So I thought I would make James a special card....James is gay & I thought I cant send im Tilda kissing Edwin, so I mentioned this to Nat & being the clever little thing that she is she flipped an Edwin round for me so now Edwin is kissing Edwin!

I've used a scalloped card blank (Ibought these from the Crafts for Christmas @Newcastle Arena so cant remember who I got them from) card from the paper mill, paper is Magnolia, Kissing Edwin's have been colored with pro markers & sat on a heart nestie which has been embossed with swiss dots embossing folder & I added "To Someone Special" LOTV circle sentiment.

Tilda & Edwin decorate the Christmas tree

Hello Everyone!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooo it's Saturday BUT I'm off to work :( BUT X Factor night tonight :) I cant wait to see what my fave Wagner gets up to!! LOL

I have made my card today with Tilda & Edwin from the new Christmas collection......as soon as I saw this Edwin I HAD to have him I think he is extra cute!!! I can think of loads of this to do with him. It was Tilda I struggled with, I thought Ohhhhh I'll stamp her with the Christmas tree, of I went to root through my stamps only to realise I dont have the blinking tree do I so that was a waste of 10 minutes oops! Then I saw Super cute Edwin and as they are both decorating the tree I thought they went perfectly together!!! Card stock from paper mill, forver friends DP, Tilda & Edwin colored with pro markers & stickles added round the edge of Nestabilities label. Greeting is from a 99p set - I LOVE them!!!

I hope you like my little card......it's inspired me to.....................................put my tree up!!! So I may do that on my next day off! LOL Hope you all have a great day, see you all soon!!! x x x

Tilda with Snowflakes - which one do you prefer?

Hey Peeps!

How are we all today? I feel better but still sneezing.....so fingers crossed this is me on the mend! I have 2 cards to share with you this morning...I had an idea in my head & I made the 2nd card on this post first....it didn't really come out how I'd like so I had a 2nd go at it....and I MUCH prefer the 2nd attempt........what do you think??

This is the 2nd attempt, I used a scalloped card blank, card stock from paper mill, white card & blue scalloped frame have been embossed with Cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder. Sentiment is a stamp by Hero Arts & snowflakes are cut with an X-Cut punch and covered with Stardust stickles with jewels in the centre.

This is the first attempt card stock from paper mill, embossed with snowflakes embossing folder, sentiment is one of those FABBY 99p sets & X-Cut snowlakes again covered with stickles!!(Of Course!!)
I like the 2nd attempt best as I like Tilda's ress better being all white, & I like the smaller frame, like I say I'd like to know which one you prefer......

I'm entering this into the Just Magnolia Anything Goes Challenge.

I'm off to see if I can make anything else for today, maybe see you's later. To get you into the Saturday Spirit I'm gonna leave you with my most current Favourite tune...

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

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

Making it With Meslyn....

.....Good Morning!!!!!
OMG I can't believe it's 08.32 & I am up & awake & I don't start work 'til 1pm! It's not raining so thats a bonus start to the day but I suppose there's still time LOL

My card to share with you today is for the challenge at Making it with Meslyn....it was my choice of a theme this time & I'm finally starting to think about my Christmas cards so I thought this would give me a boost! My theme is Christmas!

For my card I have used a card blank from my stash, paper by Bo Bunny (isn't it gorgeous!!), The winter forest & little Edwin are both stamps by Magnolia, they have both been colored with Pro Markers. Edwin is mine & my new blogging/email buddy Corinne sent me the Winter's Forest image. THe greeting is a little clear Dovecraft stamp which I bought from the Paper Mill for 99p! There was about 5 on a sheet bargain eh?!?! I stamped in Memento & cut out using plain & scalloped nesties on my Cuttlebug.

Now I don't often say this but I like my little Edwin card as I think he's perfect for a male Christmas card - what do you think??? I hope you will all pop over to our blog & join in with us as this theme is so open anything Christmassy will fit right in, see you over here!!!

To get you in the Christmas mood I have a little Christmastune to share with you:
