Saturated Canary - Christmas/Winter

Well with just one more sleep until the big day I want to wish you all a  

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I also wanted to share a final card before the big day...I made this one for this weeks challenge on the Saturated Canary Challenge Blog, as this week our theme is Christmas/Winter. I decided to go with a winter rather than christmas theme.

I have used the Maddie image available HERE which I have coloured with Copics.

The papers are all some old Fancy Pants Hot Chocolate papers layered with some shimmery brown cardstock. I have also used stickers from the collection, a piece of SU choc chip taffeta and a couple of heart pins. I also added some Sakura clear glitter pen to her eyelashes and Glossy Accents to her eyes to make them all shiny.

Well I better be off as we are getting ready to go off visiting...and I am going to the crematorium to leave a pressie and card for my Mum...and finally in the early evening we are off to Church for the crib service...it always makes Christmas come alive for me.

Some Odd Girl Challenge - Photo Inspiration Challenge!

For my card I have used one of the new clear stamps, this one is called Electric Love which I coloured with Copics and added some Stickles Diamond Glitter Glue to.  The papers are all My Minds Eye Love Me which I have layered with some Bazzill Kraft cardstock. I have added a Jenni Bowlin Bingo card, some bakers twine and some Making Memories tickets.

Cute Card Thursday - Sketch Time!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog it's Sketch Time again. This month our sketch is provided by the lovely Kathrin.

For my card I have used an image by Krista at Saturated Canary, it is called Making Valentines which I have coloured with Copics using the following colours...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Eyes - B21/B23

Hair - R81/R83/R85

Hearts - R37/R39

Clothing - B93/B95/B97/YG11/R81/E23/V15

The papers are all Bo Bunny Smoochable which I have layered with some Bazzill Kraft cardstock. I created the sentiment with a piece of the paper and also a couple of tiny Making Memories stickers. The tickets are also some Making Memories ones that I got a couple of years ago.

Be sure to check out the sketch and join us....as always there are a couple of Kraftin' Kimmie rubber stamps for one lucky winner...

Photo Frames...

Just wanted to share a couple of box frames I made to sell at the Christmas Fayre at Georgia's school earlier in December.

A Baby Girl One...I love the fact that you can add the hospital bracelet to the bottom of the frame, and if you can see it there is a dummy (pacifier) in the bottom too that moves around.

And a Love One featuring Me to You Bear...

I am still selling them at £12.50 plus P&P. If you are interested in buying one...drop me an email.

Come back tomorrow as I have three cards to show you...
