MERRY CHRISTMAS BLOGLAND!!!!

Good Morning All and a Very Merry Christmas to you all!!!

This is a scheduled post .. and I hope at this very moment I am unwrapping pressies from Santa lol

Today is the first midway slot for TOTALLY TILDA "Thank You" challenge and here is mine .....

I love this Tilda together with this suitcase stamp .. I think they go well together :)   I've coloured with Copics and cut a "doiley" shape using a Martha Stewart Punch around the Page.  The sentiment is one of mine from a clear stamp set MINI MUST HAVES - EVERYDAY and I've punched it out with a Stampin Up oval punch.

Hope you like it ... don't forget to check out the CHALLENGE HERE

So... all that is left to say is .....

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL FROM THE TOTALLY TILDA TEAM ... see you in the New Year :)

AN APOLOGY, A CATCH UP AND AN APPEAL

Morning All

First of all can I apologise massively for being absent for so long ... Our son was 18 this a few days ago and what with sorting out that and getting ready for Christmas blogging seems to have taken a back seat ... I really don't know where the time has gone and can't believe that it's Christmas Day in 3 days!!!!

Today I'm making my Christmas cake and its smells divine :) then I'm gonna wrap some pressies later on :)

Cardmaking seems to have taken a back seat too and I've no card to show you but I do have an appeal to share with you ...

A blogging friend of mine / ex-teamie, Roberta from Prairie Fairy Designs has launched an appeal ... she is giving away a free digi and would like you to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society Fund .. she has someone close to her who is suffering at the moment and would like to raise awareness and raise some money ... every penny you donate will go to the fund

Here's the image ...

If you click HERE you will be able to find out all the details

Right I'm off to sort out my cake lol ... I promise I will be back at some point with cards again ... just gonna get Christmas out the way first ... oooooh excited!!!

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Catch up soon

RAGGED CAROLLERS

Morning All

Well .. I've taken the dog for a walk and I'm now going to spend today catching up making my Christmas cards ... I know, I know .. why do I leave it all to the last minute - I do it every year! LOL

So before I get started I thought I share with you some I have made already .... well I say some ... It's the same card, three times :)

I have three friends I have known for 25 years and and I've made them all the same card ... so no favourites LOL

These are the RAGGED CAROLLERS from MO MANNING ... as soon as I saw them I knew I had to have them .. you get three separate carollers and the lampost ... I merged them together to make the scene and coloured with Copics.  The sentiment is from PINK PETTICOAT.

I kept the card simple as the scene is large

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by

Morning All

I'm up bright and early again this morning .. have a few chores to do and then we are putting up our Christmas Decorations Woo Hoo!!!!!! I'm still like a big kid at Christmas .. love the whole atmosphere of Christmas :)

We went out last weekend and bought a whole new colour scheme of decs for our tree ... can't wait to decorate it .... may even post a piccie later he he :)

Anyway ... over at TOTALLY TILDA  we are beginning a new challenge today ... when you first see the theme you may scream .... but believe me it's so much fun!!!

The theme this time is :

WHITE ON WHITE

NO OTHER COLOURS AT ALL ... no shading and not even a tiny green leaf lol .... The only colours allowed are Tilda's flesh and Hair

Pop on over and check out my teamies' creations for inspiration they are fab as usual :)

Here's mine ....

Another new Christmas Tilda lol ... I stamped her with London Fog memento ink to give her a softer feel and then "coloured" with glitter, the embossing folder is a Tim Holtz one and .. shame on me ... I've had it for ages and only just used it - perfect for this card though - I've cut a nestie circle frame to highlight the 25th, added some pom pom ribbon, lace and punched flowers to finish

Can't wait to see all your creations

TEDDY BO LOVES WEST HAM!!!

Morning all!!

Its a bit cold and nippy here this morning and can you believe I've been up since 5am cos I couldn't sleep!!! ended up making this card for the boy next door as I suddenly realised it was his birthday today ... Oooops!!!

He is Captain of the West Ham Boys .... hence the claret & blue :)

I'm off to do a bit of housework then going to get to work on colouring my images for my Christmas cards :)

I've had this Teddy Bo image for a while now and haven't had the occasion to use it ... so this was perfect!!! I've coloured him with Copics in the West Ham colours and found this scrap of football paper in my stash (that was a lucky find lol).  I added his age in the football and used one of my digi images from a set of 6 - BIRTHDAY ROUNDS which are also available as a CLEAR STAMP SET

and don't forget ....
