Black & Gold Christmas

I feel like I have been making Christmas cards forever and yet still don't seem to have that many done for the local shop.
Anyhoo.......this is one of a batch of five I made to use up the gold bubble things. Haven't a clue where I had them from....sorry.
Black ones are Paper Cellar......from their 99p stand.
Card has been embossed using the Victoria folder.......now there's a surprise.......lol!!!
Ribbon is black velvet from Dovecraft and the sentiment I think is Habico but not 100% sure on that one.

I must be mad after her little faux pas the other night but I am off to eat tea cooked by DD again. How wrong can you go grilling bacon? Watch this space........lol!!!

Kids Christmas Cards!!!

Tonight I am sharing a couple of the cards I was making last night. I usually make up a couple of batches of kids cards and more often than not use my Hugware collections.

These pics are from a collection by Laurie Furnell who is my favourite PC Crafter artist.

I have just printed two of each image, trimmed one down and layered onto the other with foam pads.

I embellished with glitter around some of the white areas and then things like carrot noses and holly with Glossy Accents.

Sorry I don't know whose the paper is. It is some I bought from a clearance rack.

Well I am lucky I lived to finish these cards and post them. DD has tried to do away with me tonight by poisoning me with an apple pie.

For days I have been fancying apple pie......don't know why as it isn't really my favourite dessert. Anyway hubby picked one up from the supermarket as I didn't have time to make one and DD kindly offered to make the tea tonight. Now I may have told you before that she is in no way domesticated so we just had soup and then she put the apple pie in the oven (without reading the instructions) to warm through for ten minutes. It was only when I spat mine out that she realised that it should have gone in the oven for 35 minutes.

Stone cold, raw apple and half cooked pastry........not recommended.....lol!!!

Aww well........at least she tried......bless her!!!

I've been a busy bee since I got in from work so I am taking the rest of the night off to gather my strength for a workshop in the morning.

Finished the rubbish book......it didn't get any better but I had to know what happened........and I have started a new one which is much better so I am going to put my feet up and have a good session with that.

Thanks for dropping by.

Busy Evening!!!

Sorry I don't have any pics tonight because the six cards I have made since I got in from work have Glossy Accents drying on them before I assemble them and I went and left the card I made at work at work.
I may have to drop into town tomorrow on the way home but I hope to do some finishing off and pic taking when I get in.

I'm shattered now so I think a quiet half hour with my book before bed and I shall sleep like a log.

Thanks for dropping by.

Inky Post At Inky Antics!!!

Had a horrible day today. A banging headache and no mojo to speak of. I couldn't settle to anything so I had a dig in my background box and altered a background I had already started.
You can see the finished results HERE.
Of course now it's nearly time for bed the headache has gone and I could just go up and have a cardmaking session........Sod's Law.

Thanks for dropping by.

Favourite Santa!!!

This has to be my most favourite Santa image of all time. Isn't he gorgeous?
He was a free image from Karen at Graphics Fairy.
Paper is Basic Grey.
Swirl frame fragment is Sizzix.
Metal charm is Papermania (not sure if they do these now).

Manged to have a pretty peaceful morning. My tummy is now full of hubby's fabulous roast beef which should hopefully sustain me through another packing session....lol!!!

Thanks for dropping by.
