In the winter

I am back today with a Christmas card using Molly bloom stamps.I have used my grand nesties to create the window and Martha Stewart punch down the side.

I have coloured the image with copics and added lots of sparkle with glitter although you can not see it well in the photo.

I have been trying to get ready for Christmas and most of the presents have been bought but am I the only one who thinks it as just crept up way to fast.

I would like to enter this card into the challenge on 'Craft your passion' and the challenge is 'Tis the season'.

Thanks for looking

Christmas card

Hello just thought I would put this card on that I made with one of the new Christmas Tilda's although you could use this one any time.

I have coloured my image with copics and done a bit of dotting around the image.

The shape is cut with Grand labels one and the papers are from the a 6x6 pad called eskimo kisses.The roses and the large leaves are both creatable dies and the little leaves are a Martha Stewart punch.

I would like to enter this in to the challenge on 'Winter Wonderland' which is awwww what a cutie.

Well I must go I have to get ready for work and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is not so foggy when I am coming home tonight it as been awful around here the last few days.

I have used a grand nestie to make the card with and the Tilda is from the new collection and is called 'something for you Tilda'.

I am definitely getting in the mood for Christmas now maybe because my kids and I watched 'Santa Paws' on dvd on Sunday. I love curling up on the sofa with the kids and the dog (yes he enjoyed Santa Paws also) and watching disney films. I now would like a cool little outfit for Harley to wear but hubby said there is no way he would take him on a walk if he was dressed up (bar humbug I say)

Thanks for popping in today and do not forget I have blog candy here .

Magnolia Christmas

Hello I am back, you maybe did not know I was missing but for the last week I have had no internet other than a quick session on my Mothers computer.

It was horrible being without the internet but at least I had scheduled my Dt posts.

I thought I would show you a Christmas decoration I have made using one of the new Tilda's although looking at my picture now I could have used a different background colour for the photo lol.

I have used Spellbinder dies to create the shaker part and foam pads.The snowflakes are spellbinders also and I have used stamp and bond and glitter to make them sparkle which is a fab way to add sparkle to your die cut pieces. I was demoing stamp and bond a few weeks ago and went home with glitter all over me. How come even if you are very careful you always end up glittered yourself.

I have coloured Tilda with copics in the following colours:

E000 E00 E011 R20, E50 E51 E53

R81 R83 R85, E44 E43 E42 E40,

Bg70 Bg72 Bg75Bg78.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge

Magnolia stamp lovers - Christmas challenge

Thanks for looking I am now going to try and catch up on commenting

Have a great weekend
