Merry Christmas

Afternoon to you all, ive been neglecting my blog a bit this last week but been busy helping to organising a 50th birthday for my boss Im not sure I shouldve as im coming up to the big 40 soon and as he told me revenge is sweet !! We had a fantastic night and about 95% of people came in fancy dress lots of effort went into the costumes, enough rabbling and onto my card today I used serene snowflake stamps and baja breeze ink from SU then i embossed my top snoflake and added gems , the punch is also SU and the sentiment is from craftwork cards, I used silver mirri card for the backing but the photo doesnt really do it justice. Hope to catch up with you later on in the week with some more xmas cards.  The photos below were robbie and I in fancy dress at the party, we were both so hot with those wigs on but was all worth it !!

Our House to Your House

Saturday again where does the time go !! It will be xmas before we know it, Im still trying to do xmas cards but so slow this year.  Im going to cut down on the amount I give this year and give the money to charity,  half of the people you give and get cards you never hear or see from year to year and I think the cost of postage this year will have an effect on how many are posted. So onto my card for today, this is a stamp from papermania and I coloured it in with my promarkers and glitzed it up with glamour dust, the border punch is xcut and a nestie for the tag along with one of craft work cards tags , Gems and pearls from stash.

Ruby Wedding

Seem to have a spate of anniversary card to make just now, my photo skills need a bit of attention as they are not very good and you dont really see the detail in this card, used the mbossibilities folder for this one and the marianne dies, the punch is a ek and ribbon was from the papeterie, pearls from stash. Busy now creating an area for my new promarkers, ordered from  http://www.angelcrafts.biz/ and so looking forward to using them always said I wasnt going to buy them but just feel my colours with pencils are not so vibrant, lets hope they dont become to addictive although my crafty friend Carol will probably say different she seems to think I wont be able to resist buying them and I think she will probably be right.  So off to stamp out some images ready for action tomorrow as I will be waiting for my postie to arrive with them. Catch up tomorrow. Audx

Less is More

Another card for the LIM challenge but embossed my background with the mbosibilities just love these and they are so crisp. Stamp is from simply create embossed with lilac holographic although you dont really see if very well I used SU rose red ink and backing paper and sentiment was done on computer. Off now to make a few card for orders but would really like outside as Im feeling a bit iffy today and think the fresh air will do me good, i wish i could find some energy from somewhere, hopefully feel better tomorrow.
