Found this lovely wood tag which I painted in gesso inked with distress ink and then stamped with the perfect sentiment and more snowflakes.

I just love Christmas xxx

Well im back cant believe it myself but happily crafting.

Here is one of my Magnolia Nativity cards which I just adore.

I have most of the Nativity collection but "Jacob" was my latest purchase a real must have just perfect. This is my take on a masked collection I saw on Debbie dolphins blog which ouzes inspiration I love her work and have followed her for years

This card was ordered by my sil for my niece Kerry I always have free hand on her orders cause luckily she loves everything I have made for her so far.

I have masked tilda as one of the three kings with Jacob and a palm tree managed this in one go which was a bonus.

I coloured Tilda with a lovely blue so went with this as my colour combo which I think looks lush.

Lovely side view which shows you my layered die cuts which where finished off with stickles.

Coloured as always with my pro markers.

As you can see I have used lots of different dies.

Added gems to the centres of my poinsettia flowers and lots of stickles.

As always I have coloured using my Pro Markers the paper is a collection I won last year on a challenge blog but not sure of make.

 

Love the image just think the "Love" banner is a little big and covers up the image a bit too much.

 

 

Lots of yummy flowers from my stash and some punched Martha Stewart Branch foliage.

 

Help Needed!!!

 

If anyone knows where I can get the beautiful lilac lily's (I also had Ivory and Gold) from I would be so grateful they are made of clay with the added bling I picked these up at Barnsley Market at a wedding stall but when I went back the stall is no longer there.

Hello everybody hope you are all wrapped up warm and cosy. 

It sure is bad again here in Sheffield really fed up now especially as Hubby is in the Royal Hallamshire and can't get there!! 

 

Here is something different but so love it and I know my niece's little boy loved it!

Why wouldn't he its a dragon every little boy just loves dragons.

 

As always I have coloured with my lovely Pro Markers and added glamour dust here and there.

Because I went with a larger print size it was so difficult to decide on the design but was really pleased with the end look.

Inked all the edges with DI's added stickles in purple to edges of paper and as its a boy card which not good at added Tim Holts cog's inked again.

 

Love this side view.

Well going to colour again I'm getting  a nice little pile of coloured images all new so can't wait to make them up.

 

Hopefully Hubby will be able to come  home today he's had a nose bleed since Monday they have packed it and it actually stopped yesterday so he eventually got some sleep which was a good sign as before he couldn't sleep as blood was constantly going down the back of his throat.

 

He phoned me earlier they have deflated the packing and hopefully will remove it later so I have everything crossed that it has stopped and he can come home!!

 

I must say I can't believe they have not sorted it or looked at where its coming from but still sending him home I just hope it doesn't happen again.

 

Keep safe.

Shabby Chic New Baby Card x

MUST TRY HARDER!!!!!!!!!

 

That's right my craft room has been busy and I managed three cards last week so fingers crossed I will be so good in 2015.

 

My card today is one my daughter asked me to make for the lady she works for her request was no Magnolia image and not baby pink well I knew straight away what to use!!

 

My lovely Mo-Manning image she is divine and always a joy to colour.

The good thing was we knew it was a girl "Emily Rose" so lots of gorgeous embellishments.

Found these letters in my stash so mounted them and think they look perfect also found the Prima pebble so that had to be added with some extra gems.

Yummy Graphic45 baby papers.

Emily arrived on a Tuesday so just look what I found in my stash!!!! Perfect xx

No card is complete without flowers.

The most beautiful knitted lace and flower ribbon from Live and Love Crafts.  Remembered my pram die its a disgrace that this is the first time I've used it but purchased from Natalie and Amy's  Craft shop.

 

Another rather unloved image but perfect for the inside of my card with a beautiful sentiment.
