A little bit of silver....

Hi friends....hope you're all well, warm & safe! Isn't the weather
just awful and at a time when everyone is just so busy & there's so much to 
do.......stay safe everyone! So today I have another Christmas card..
....there's me thinking I had all my cards done....then the boys asked
for some for friends, work colleagues etc., so now I've got a bit of a panic
 on lol....but it's all good fun and I get to use up some more stash....
and that means space for more stash......yippee!!!! So it's a quick & easy
 make, no colouring,  just a trio of silver die cuts, a stamped sentiment & a
 couple of gems, all mounted onto the card base with foam pads!
Hope you like it.......thanks for calling, have a lovely day!

Green hair, anyone?

.........no, me neither....although in my long ago younger days I think I had
 my hair every colour but green lol!
This is a card one of my Son's asked for to give to a college friend, hence 
the green hair.....they can get away with it at that age, don't you think?
The image is from The Greetings Farm, coloured with Copics & Spectrum 
Noir pens, I've used some papers from my scrap box, the sentiment is 
LOTV,  the die cut is Marianne Creatables & the red gingham ribbon
 is from my stash! Rightio, better dash............lots to do today......think I
 might have to make a start on the gift wrapping.................not long now!!!
 Thanks for calling today & hope you have a lovely day!

Dance! Dance! Dance!

Hi friends......happy Saturday......hope you're enjoying the weekend so
far! A big HELLO to my newest followers....thanks so much for joining me!
 Wasn't Strictly fab....all that glitz & glamour and the lovely  Darcy
Bussell inspired me to finish this card.....and I enjoyed every minute of it!
It was lovely to make a real girly card.....living in a house full of rugby
loving boys Miss Rebecca and me need to take every pink/purple moment
we can lol! We watched the rugby this afternoon :( so it could have been a
 totally different style of card lol....gutted for England....they played so well!
This adorable image was a freebie from All Dressed Up.......isn't she just
gorgeous and just perfect for the challenge over there! She's coloured
with my fabby Flexmarkers, the bunting paper was a mag freebie, card 
from my stash, Sizzix corner die, foliage punch, flowers & ribbon!
Oh, and a sprinkle of glitter but it doesn't show up so well on the photo,
Hope you like her, she was a pleasure to colour!
Thanks for calling and for any comments you might leave.....
......see you soon!
