Winter Wishes ...

Been a while since my last post, I did say as one of my new year resolutions I would make

one Christmas card a week so there wouldn't be a mad rush, needless to say that didn't happen.  I decided to make one a day in the month of October, well I have made some but I am still behind.  One down many many more to come.  I did purchase several of the new Stamp & Cutz from Magnolia but the others weren't Christmas so I inked this one up first!

I have made a bauble shaped card today using one of the new Stamp & Cutz from Magnolia, this one is called Cocoa Tilda & Snow Flurries, so that is the stamp and snowflake dies as a duo.

I have also used the Magnolia log stamp from way back when.  Flowers, buttons, ribbons, pine cone charms, star die, tree die, berries.  The branches, twigs & holly are from various Doohickey Club kits. Hand stitched & coloured with Promarkers.  The bauble card blank itself was cut on my Silhouette.

The pretty papers are from NITWIT COLLECTIONS

I have used an embossing folder, ribbon, charm & gems.

Coloured with Promarkers & Prisma pencils.

The image is from A Day for Daisies & titled 'Pearls in my hair'

H E L L O ooooo!

It's me Jane, not Adele sorry to disappoint.

Just a quick post to let you know that I am still around, 

it has been a while since my last post. 

Naughty step for me.

What can be more important than craft I hear you say, well 

I have been away on a fabulous cruise celebrating my Silver Wedding Anniversary and now I am 

just playing catch up in the land of craft & blog!

Thank you for your concern and I will be back posting 

again very soon, I promise.

Special Day ...

Delighted to share this card with you today & as you can probably see my Husband & I have just celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary.  Very difficult to make male anniversary cards but I am really pleased with this one, phew!

It is an 8x8 matted & layered with white linen & silver mirri card.  Sentiment is computer generated in silver and the cutting file; Heart Inverted Rhinestones from the fabulous Samantha Walker from the Silhouette Design Store.

The rhinestones and as you can see there are many are from an Ebay Seller, 

I can recommend, good price, delivery & quality.  

Beautiful sparkle, stunning.

You're so tweet ...

Very clean and simple today, some more new stamps which I did & notice past tense there, well

I loved the images as soon as I set eyes on them but (in my opinion) they don't stamp very well.

They are clear stamps and I know all stamps have different needs but I have been stamping for too many years now and I was disappointed with these ones, not producing a crisp image, only my opinion.

This stamp set; at is includes a few different images is from Basik & K called 'Basik & Sparrows'

and I just wanted a quick thank you card.  Hand stitched, coloured with Promarkers & matted on red cardstock with a small pearl to finish.
