can't believe it!!

my goodness its been ages since I've posted on here!! and so much has happened too! I am now living with my other half in our first wee flat together. I'm loving it but still getting used to having each other around all the time!! and I've really got into gardening too. Its the first time I have a garden of my own. I will get some photo's uploaded but during the move my camera charger has disappeared :( I'm sure I'll find it eventually!! at the moment I'm using my phone camera but not sure how good the photos will be. Anyway thats enough of my blethering and I'll be back on later with the photos (I'm at work just now!)

Under the tree!!

I have been having a bit of a nightmare with the internet at the moment which is why I havent blogged for a while!! I have been crafting away tho and busy making more cards and candles. Well over on ABC Christmas challenge this weeks theme is "Under the tree" which means makng a gift, box etc and they are also looking for new DT members so I thought that I would give this a go and blog another one of my candles. This one is a forever friends image that I got from the Glitter Pot coloured with my pro markers and sprayed with glitter spray :) I have also managed to get clear bags from ebay to package them up and tied gold ribbon that I got from Dunhelm Mill. Its actually a thank you gift got my mums friend because she has been so generous and given me loads of craft stuff that she wasnt using :) I hope you like it :)

Tilda in Red Candle

I'm really getting into stamping onto candles at the moment. I must say that this really does get better with practice. I bought this new Tilda recently and love her becasue she can be a birthday or Christmas one. This time I coloured her with my pro markers (which I'm still loving!!!!!) and coloured her crown and wand with gold glitter and finished it off with red stitched ribbon. I'm going to enter her into the Die Cut Dreams Christmas challenge which this week is Tilda In Red.

Another Tilda Christmas

Afternoon all, well another Christmas Tilda card. This time I've layered her over a debossed dots (from my cuttlebug) and have put her sitting on a glittery strip like a chair and in the background i have scattered sequins to look like snowflakes. I'm actually really impressed with the way that this card has turned out and I'm entering it into this weeks Allsorts Challenge which is Primary Colours.

My first go at promarkers!

Well I know that its taken a while but I have bought my first lot of promarkers. I wasnt going to bother getting any but while doing a lot of blog hopping and everyone goes on about them so much I thought I would give them a go. Well I'm so glad that I did!!! I love them!!!! In fact I liked them so much I bought another pack lol!!!! I bought a Christmas pack and then the primary colours pack (with a few extras as well!!) Anyway todays card is the fairytale tilda made into a Christmas card, she is sitting on a bench that came in the Xmas patchwork pals set from QVC layered over my favourite cuttlebug Christmas tree and finished off with pink satin ribbon. I'm really pleased with this card :) and I hope the DT at Sweet Stamping Challenge blog like it too because I'm entering it into their challenge this week which is Pretty in Pink.

Snowflakes

My mojo still has not returned :( I cant believe it I've been craft shopping and everything!! Anyway I made this card the other day and its a variation on the pastel christmas one that I ave already posted. The bakground is embossed dots from a cuttlebug embossing folder layered over pearlesant turquoise card with turquoise glitter and then a papermania felt snowflake with silver gems over the top. I love these simple cards at the moment, they are really elegant and effective. I'm going to enter this into Moving along with the Times challenge this week which is Christmas and Cute Card Thursday which is Whateva.
