L O V E ...

Nitwit Collections have released the most adorable kit titled

  'Ladies & Gentlemen'

and I couldn't wait to have a play with it.

Now I have only used one layer to show off the gorgeous papers but you can see

a selection of the others incorporated in the bunting!

Not forgetting all the other goodies in the kit, plenty to inspire, love it.

I have used Tilda, flower, ribbon, ladybird, buttons, pearls & butterfly.

A little hand stitching, goes without saying.

The 'Love' embellishment was inspired by the paper and quite simply

is six or so layers of cardstock cut out and stuck together, finished off with Gesso.

I am back again tomorrow, see you there.

Celebrate in Style ...

I have been playing with one of my new Tilda's for this card using the gorgeous new kit

from Nitwit Collections called 'Snow Princess'. 

 As you can see there is no snow to be seen, there are some gorgeous snowflakes papers & embellishments in the kit but there are plenty of non snow papers too, soooo pretty.  Aqua & purple look great together don't they?

Nitwits also have 25% off selected kits including the lovely 'Cottage Charm' kit I used 

on my last post, so why not go and have a browse and spend a few pennies too!

I have used dressing table, sentiment, die, flowers, ribbon, doily, charm, Frantage and some Gesso.

Completely hand stitched and if you want to know what colour I used to match the papers

in the land of Promarkers, well mainly Bluebell, so that will give you an idea of the kit.

Almost the weekend, yey. 

Hip Hip Hooray ...

Today at Passion for Promarkers we are launching a new challenge

and this week we want 'Ribbon, Lace & Twine'

and I am so excited to finally share this box card.

As soon as I saw this delightful stamp I new she would look great suspended and

if you can see from the picture below she is also on a wobble spring!

I have stamped the image underneath for extra depth.  I have used springs

in the past but only just discovered these fabulous wobble springs, they are plastic

so don't loose there shape and have clear adhesive, perfect, really pleased with it.

Enough of my excitement to share, I have used papers, lace frame, sentiment is CG, banner, flowers,

butterflies, ribbon, twine, charm, pearls & gems.

Jingle Jingle Jingle ...

This is my last post before the big day so I would like to wish you all

a Very Merry Christmas and thank you all for your lovely comments

'all the way'!

Today I wanted to share with you a box card, my first in fact.  I was browsing the web

and came across a picture frame with bells in and jumped into action.

All the cutting was completed on my Silhouette, now a year old and I don't know how I ever

managed without it.  A little bit of hand stitching (well why not) add some golden bells &

a little organza bow and done.  Really pleased with how this turned out.

Well as I say that is it from me, I will back on Thursday with my last Guest spot for 

Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog so I hope to see you there.

Merry Christmas x

Congratulations ...

This week at Cute Card Thursday we want to Celebrate with our new challenge.

I made this card back in the Summer which was requested by my hairdresser for her best friend

whom are my neighbours and we have known them since I was at school.  

Clean and simple with names & dates was the request, I don't normally do requests but

 I just couldn't refuse.

Matting & layering on my good old Silhouette.  I also used the Silhouette to write the words

using the metallic markers.

The stamp is a favourite of mine from Indigo Blu. Heat embossed with silver.

Finished off with some butterflies, gems & a gorgeous bit of sparkle.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

Wednesday Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes (I Won)!

(Sorry the photo doesn't really show the gorgeous embossing & bling, good old British weather)!

Thank you for visiting my blog today, take care love

Winter Wonderland ...

Time for a midway reminder at

A Little Bit Crafty & the lovely Paula & team.

This month what else but 'Christmas Cheer'

I have opted for another shaker card for this one & another gorgeous

Nitwit Collections kit called 'Woodland Wishes'

The vibrant colours in this kit are just a delight and I have picked out the

pine cones on the backing paper with a real one & some Gesso.

Another Tilda from the stamp club and some diamond dust for the snow

or should I saw snow storm.  I live on a hill so this is me trekking through the thick snow!

I have used flowers, berries, ribbon, bells, pearls & gems.

Hand stitched & coloured with Promarkers.

All matting & layering as usual completed on my Silhouette.
