Here at last..

Morning All,   hope everyone is enjoying the weekend :o)
We are going to put the tree up today, its really early for us  but we have some friends coming on Wednesday and thought it would be nice for them. We also feel that its never up for more than five minutes and its down again...I love my tree and I love Christmas.
First I wanted to post my Inked card that I have had since Last week and haven't had a minute to post it. I really enjoyed making this and will certainly be making more. 

I used TH Distress inks and a Inkylicious stamp, added a little Glamour dust to the snow and that was it.
I am really happy with my almost first attempt...I say almost because the past efforts have ended up in the bin....lol
 Be back in between putting tree up to do some commenting.
Oops forgot to explain the title........Been without internet for 30+ hours yesterday and the night before...grrrrr!!!
Bye for now xxxxx

A touch of white you might say

Hi everyone, Hope you all ok and ready to enjoy your weekend.
I have been trying to share a couple of cards since Wednesday but have been out both days, yesterday we had a beautiful day out at York (St. Nicholas Christmas fair) it was a lovely day weather wise and we had a super time, spent too much and ate too much as always...lol
Anyway onto my first card....at last!!
I had been having a go at some inked backgrounds last weekend, then decided to get on with a white on white as I wanted to join in two challenges...
City Crafter..Snow white Challenge .
Simon says Stamp Wednesday ...Anything goes
I  wanted to join in Without words challenge too, but realized there was no colouring on my card :o( I was thinking CAS and forgetting the colour!

So first things first, here is my card for this and I will be back later to post my Inky one.
The Tree die and the Snowflake die are both from my Candy win from Nicole. The embossed panel is a freebie from  Simply cards & papercraft Mag.

Added Glamour dust to give a sparkle and  did the frame on my Hougie board. That's about it for now off to call on Sis but will catch up later today hopefully. xx

Just a reminder...

Good Morning to you all,

Hi Everyone,

I have sat and made a quick CAS Christmas card, I have so many still to make, I need to get my skates on. I never start them till the last week in November normally but for some reason I feel panicked this year :O and yet I already have 6 made which is unknown for me.

Did have two pics on but Thanks Sue & Carol I will follow your good judgement and have deleted the first one. :o)

Even this Picture is rubbish.... its all too shiny and the sun isn't helping...but I am keeping the Sun and making do with the rubbish picture...lol

Anything but a card...

Good Morning to you all, 
Hope the day finds you well and managing to stay warm.
                Well Today brings a brand new Challenge over at Mo's Digital....Anything but a card is the theme this time. 
So have a break from those Christmas cards for a day and let us see your wonderful creations. 
Ideas!!!!! Boxes, Bags, Tags, Decorations...I am sure you will think of the most amazing things to make. 
Now here is the good bit...You have Two full weeks to enter this time, Yes the challenge is running for an Extra week.

 I have to admit to being without Mr. Mojo this week.
For my DT project I decided to make a Cone to put some sweeties in for a little boy that has come to live over the road. I have also been making some Pillow Boxes lately to put pretty silk scarves into for a few small gifts so this is one of the boxes, I added Mo's image the adorable Winter fairy Halla to make the tags. I have to admit to making a mistake  here as I intended using A different image and got myself confused...lol  well that doesn't take much at this present time :o  Anyway Colouring done and tags on before I even realised..doh!! 
BTW Mo has New images to take a peek at to :o))

 

I added a few snowflakes to the cone after the first pic was taken...

Hope you can visit Mo's challenge and see what my talented Teamies have come up with, Do try and join in the fun...oh! and if you have time Please leave the girls some Love, they love to read your comments as much as I do.

Thanks for your lovely comments and good wishes for Sis, I really don't do anymore than we all do for our loved ones..but Thank you all the same xxxxxxxxxxx
