Hello Friend!

My new Nestabilities ovals came today, they took a week to come from America. I got them from Cut at Home, so I thought I'd use them on this card. The photo doesn't show off the colours as vibrant as they are in real life.

Stamp - Magnolia Tilda relaxing.

Papers - Dovecraft

Prima flowers

Kanban jewels

Ribbons from stash and various card

Butterfly swirl cut with Cricut Expressions as were the rectangle scalloped layers

Coloured with Prismacolors pencils

Heart charm from pound shop.

Work was ok at the weekend. Cheryl wasn't hungover either day! Woohoooo, that's always a bonus. I've decided to give her and her husband the Christmas card from the post below and have added their names to two of the little parcels.

We have Abby over later tonight when she's finished college for the day so that's Darryl up in his room for most of the time, lol.

I can't believe it's already midday! I've only made one card and the time has flown by. I'm always surprised about how much mess is made from making just one solitary card... I need a piece of card from that box, papers from that box, bits and pieces from that one... the Cricut out of the box, the Sizzix to use the nestablities... never ending!

OooOOooOo, just had an email from Cuddly Buddly to say that my three stamps have been dispatched!!!! Hopefully they will be here tomorrow.

Another Christmas card as well!

I had great fun with this card. I'm going great guns at the moment, that's two cards made today! See post below for the other card.

A Spoon full of Sugar Challenge 17!

This is my first attempt at a challenge!! I'm always visiting A Spoonfull of Sugar blog but never joined in... well plus, I've only got back into rubber stamping about a month ago. Anyway, here's my card. Head on over to their blog and join in the fun!!

2 bright cheery cards.

I've made two cards since getting home from work! That's a first... well maybe not a first, but a first in a very long time!! One of my supervisors at work requested a birthday card... with no guidance for me, great! So I came up with these two gems. The one on the left is using that gorgeous Rowdy William Magnolia stamp, and I used a sketch by Bev from All the things I love (link on the right). The one on the right is just tag on acetate.
Papers used are from K & Co Mira Specialty pad, Papermania fabric flowers, and the swirl cut with the Cricut Expressions. You can't see from the picture (althought you might if you click on it), that I have debossed (I got the Cuttlebug folder round the wrong way in my Sizzix) the white background to William. I think I managed to paint William better this time too!
If anyone has been wondering if Cuttlebug embossing folders work in the big Sizzix then yes, but you need the converter and it embosses/debosses beautifully.

Rowdy William.

Ok, so I changed my mind about Paula's card... and decided to make another one, but I do still like the first one, and now they're sitting together on the table they look lovely. I wish I could combine papers!!

K & Co Blue Awning Specialty Paper pad
Papermania fabric flowers
Doodlebug Boutique brads
Ribbon
Craft time 3D flowers
Cricut Expressions to cut the lettering
Magnolia Rowdy William stamp
I coloured in with watercolour pencils, and the odd bit of Stickles glitter.

Below are my Guitar Hero's. It had to be a joint effort when it came to Matthew playing, so he did the strumming, and Darryl selected the correct "string". It's a good game, when you can master how to play it! I shall have a go later, and Justin can't wait to get home from work, lol, kids, all of 'em!

Here is my first Tilda card!!

This is my first card using the Magnolia Tilda stamps. I think the plain oval needed embossing... I do like the card, but I wish I could make cards like some of the other girls, lol... oh well... guess I just need more practice. The card grows on you the more you look at it...
