winter wishes

It's Saturday at last..........and that means X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing!!!!!!!!Not forgetting the Super League Grand Final  - Go Rhinos!
 Just a quick card today - didn't quite go as planned but there you go - it happens sometimes doesn't it?
Recipe:  I know the large snowflake is from a szzix die and the small one is from a punch but i have no idea where the rest of the ingredients are from - they were all in my stash lol!
Enjoy your evening

Frosty the Snowman

Hiya, ooohhh it feels like winter today,  can't believe just a week ago it felt hotter than in the summer! Shouldn't complain really cos it's a great excuse to stay indoors and craft all weekend lol. Maybe it's the cold weather that inspired me to make this Christmas card...........I think this could be it now..........the Christmas crafting has begun!! Frosty and Tilda are coloured with promarkers, the snowflakes are cut with a die from Sizzix, the flowers are punched, the papers are from Nitwits, sentiment is computer generated, i've used ultra fine glitter, lace and pearls from my stash. All the edges have been "stickled"! I've decorated the inside very similar to the front, too.
Hope you all enjoy a crafting weekend.

Fairy, fairy

Hiya, how i love this fairy stamp, she was a present for my birthday back in February and i used her for one of the first cards I showed on my blog!
Turns out one of my sons liked it too - he's asked me to make a birthday card for a friend - so I've coloured her the same and used the same paper, only the layout is different!!!

Button Tree

Can't believe we're into October now but i do love this time of year and cosy Saturday nights watching X Factor and Strictly come Dancing (Yippee!!). I'm really struggling with Christmas projects this year - must be this TOO hot weather we're having lol - so have been busy checking out all your blogs for some much needed inspiration..........and you haven't let me down!! I thought i'd try my hand at a black card for a change and this is what i came up with. I've used Tatty Button xmas tree, stamp in black and then heat embossed it with a clear embossing powder. I punched a scallop border and added sparkly gems then matted onto white card and tied a black ribbon on. The black flowers are all handmade using a Marianne creatables flower die, then dipped them in glitter (which doesnt show up to well does it lol) and matted and layered onto black and white card.
Enjoy rest of the weekend.
