Good evening all.

Phew!!!! My house is still like a battle-field. Phoebe had so many presents I could open a toy store - her dad and his family spoil her lol. But she's had a wonderful christmas and I guees she'll enjoy her presents until January 19th when it's her birthday - then it starts all over again :). I hope you all had a wonderful christmas spending it with the people you love and enjoyed having nice food and a good time.

I am going into Derby tomorrow to try and sort my bank card and hopefully get a new winter jacket which is desperately needed. James has got a nice amount to spend on new clothes which he needs and Phoebe will properbly ask for a new toy lol.

Just thought I would show you this ................

Good morning all.

Well, it's the day of my daughter's christmas play and I can't wait to go see it at 2 pm. As I mentioned this year she's Mary and like she said "I am a very important person Mummy, without Mary there would be no Jesus" :). She's really looking forward to it and takes her role very serious.

My card for today has nothing whatsoever to do with christmas. I really fancied some warm and summery colours .................



............... and to use this super image. I absolutely love her expression - Phoebe looks like this when she's cross with me lol. Arms crossed over her chest and a great disapproving "Hmpff". Oh, and don't forget the little stap of the foot - priceless :). Might even use this in a christmas card - ah, the possiblilities. I have paper pieced her little dress.

Good morning Friday.

The sun is shining this morning but I am wondering for how long. Been a wet and miserable week and I can't even cheer myself up by looking foreward to NEC. Unfortunately I can't make it this time but I will start to look forward to spring. I hope everyone who goes are having a wonderful time and buying beautiful craft stuff.

Onto today's card which is another christmas one - yes, not long now but this year I am ready - well, almost hehe. I am entering this into several challenges and the embellishments lends themselves to I {heart} Promarkers "Snowflakes" and A Spoonful of Sugar "Relish to embellish". I have used some gogeous vellum printed with gold medival words attached with a few brads - Cute card Thursday's challenge this week is "Gently does it!" As the colours are rather unusual for a christmas card it fits into Everybody Art Challenge "Un-traditional xmas" and the Promarker Challenge "Pearls, Lavender and Lace". Phew .... that was a small mouthful. I hope you enjoy my card as much as I liked making it and as for the sweet image ..... well, it's one of Amy Young's and I just love them all. Mine is a digi image from All that Scrap but she is also available in rubber.




Materials

Image: Darby by Sweet November Stamps
Papers: I think it's Basic Grey but not sure

Thank you for dropping in and I hope you have a blessed day, Mette

Happy Birthday!!!

Good morning Sunday!
Have woken up with the sun streaming into my room - makes a change from waking up to grey, damp mornings. However, afternoons have been sunny and bright so I hope this afternoon doesn't turn grey. Been busy getting the mountain of clothing down to ground level - lol, who am I kidding - with 3 kids that's impossible. Was rather tired yesterday evening so just watched X-factor auditions and went early to be. Woke up at 3 am and both my sons were still up playing games - grrrrrrr.

For ages now I have been in love with Amy Youngs images and I have several of them in digi-form but would you believe I have never made a card with them. So I decided it was about time I used one for a card. This little fairy is called Oleander and she is part of the Twisted Sisters and available HERE in digi and HERE in rubber (UK).
Although summer is officially open I decided I wanted some bright and happy colours. She has been coloured with Promarkers. The papers are Cosmo Cricket "Garden Variety". The flowers are punched and used gem, button and brad for the center.
I will enter this card into the following challenges

Friday Sketcher - Sketch
Totally Gorjuss - Flowers
Stamp Something - Spots and stripes
Digital Tuesday - Dots and stripes
Everybody Art Challenge - Handmade flowers

Thank you for dropping by and hope you enjoy your Sunday, Mette
