Happy new Year

its one of my favorite blogs.

i've used the Ooh la la papers from craft works and plain card from papermania. the butterfly's are made using the xcut dimentions punch and the sentiment is a cuttlbug die.

thanks for taking the time to look at my blog.

CuddlyChristmas

evening crafters,
i've had a lovely day crafting and trying to catch up with some christmas cards. this one is for the challenge over at cuddlybuddly so i've used one of their lovely freebie images, there are lots to chose from so if you haven't grabbed them yet click the link and go help yourself! i will be making some more cards very soon using their images, they are adorable.

I've used papermania papers again and mounted on silver card. the snowflakes are punched from silver card using a xcut paper punch.

flatbacked hearts are from Quixotic paperie

Happy Xmouse!

morning all,
postie has been but still no sign of the new liliofthevalley stamps grrrr! i can't wait for them to arrive.
in the meantime i have been busy with some christmas cards. this one is is being entered for the challenges over at Paper Sundaes and also The Crafty Pad. my first time on both these site but equally lovely and i will follow with interest, what a great find.
back to my card...it is a simple layout, great because i'm rubbish at getting the layer straight lol i've used papermaia products, cardstock and papers. the sentiment is also papermania. a x-cut snowflake punch and a cutie penny black stamp, i think he's called xmouse. ribbon was a gift from my friend papercraftpat (hello pat)!
thank you for any comments and please check back soon as i will be adding more cards very soon.
