<br />
Good Morning, thank you for visiting my blog and welcome to Patricia my new follower, it is lovely to see you here :).<br />
<br />
Just popped in quick to show you a Valentine's Card I made for my husband last night. I saw Pontura cards on Pinterest and fell in love with them, Nellie Snellen makes them and they are all reduced on <a href="http://www.nelliesnellen.com/pontura/pontura-cards.html">her shop</a>. I ordered them on Sunday from the Netherlands, they shipped on Monday and were with me by Wednesday that is really quick. I bought a few different packs, wedding dress, baby pram, twin hearts and ladies hat. <br />
<br />

<br />
Thank you all for visiting my blog it is lovely to get such a warm welcome back :), and welcome to Hazel my newest follower (waving madly). <br />
<br />
Start of another week and I am off to walk Rosie dog and then we are off to work, did I ever mention that Rosie comes to work with me, she sits under my desk and hardly ever stirs, she is such a good dog. Before I go I would like to show you my husband's valentine card (don't worry he doesn't visit my blog so he will not see it before Friday).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is a large box card about 8 x 9 inches and I made it about as fancy as I could get away with for a man and not look too over the top - I used some digi paper which I have had for ages from Pink Petticoat - For Him - I used Cheery Lynn heart die, and two Memory Box die for the hearts at the top and the row of hearts at the bottom. There is a secret message in the Magnolia tag at the top. <br />

<br />
When opened it reveals a Thornton's Chocolate heart - if anyone has seen these chocolate hearts you will realise how big this card is. I made a box to hold the box which the chocolate comes in and decorated similar to the front - card is kept closed by a couple tiny magnets which I bought off ebay, they are really very, very strong but when sandwiched between card and paper they are just right for keeping boxes closed. <br />

<br />
I have been a bad girl today, but I enjoyed it so much... the Creative Stiches and HobbyCraft show came to Event City next to the Trafford Centre, it comes twice a year and it is the only show I go to, so I tend to make the most of it - I made too much of this year but in my defense I didn't buy anything last year as I wasn't crafting. I do feel bad though because I have already spent quite a bit on new Grand Calibur and Spellbinders dies which had just came out and I had to have. <br />
<br />
Anyway thought you might like to see my stash. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmh5qr9L3qDSkv0rPsnzexQhDV6szYVLjK0uU7DQetBToazNrsh8Kg7hV7GU6yWgMPSR8SG61FKYESTbb-tDFoi_lEOT361RMLv4lX4ysIrv89h4rqiRqtJh9Vho8bW2HYjbX1ERCAHEs/s1600/bling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmh5qr9L3qDSkv0rPsnzexQhDV6szYVLjK0uU7DQetBToazNrsh8Kg7hV7GU6yWgMPSR8SG61FKYESTbb-tDFoi_lEOT361RMLv4lX4ysIrv89h4rqiRqtJh9Vho8bW2HYjbX1ERCAHEs/s1600/bling.jpg" height="578" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is the bling and a couple of stamps - most of the blink was only £1.00 each. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-YFPys-_JU7Czpl0wONkDEjf_G6rVHFR3_-Hb-By7Zuatf6pI5nVqHwNNnK0Ywr4tSxsgXtY4x4_-GwFrjfz_5Kf15eMouXmcXqHbd_BitvEXXmke5me85r26JYCSF9vRpIycDr7PCg/s1600/paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF-YFPys-_JU7Czpl0wONkDEjf_G6rVHFR3_-Hb-By7Zuatf6pI5nVqHwNNnK0Ywr4tSxsgXtY4x4_-GwFrjfz_5Kf15eMouXmcXqHbd_BitvEXXmke5me85r26JYCSF9vRpIycDr7PCg/s1600/paper.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This was the paper and pads, the pads were all reduced the Christmas pad is 12" and was only £6.99, the others are all 8" pads and they too were reduced to £4.99 or less. I also got some A4 dotted and striped card and some pearl 160 gms paper for flowers. I watched a great flower tutorial from a lady using Britannia Dies, she used this paper - I was very tempted to buy her flower dies, but I already have Spellbinders Rose Creations and they are quite similar. I did buy the paper though.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
these were the tools and dies which I bought - top right hand corner is a Tonic Flower tool kit, it is great I used it when I got home with the pearl paper and I actually made a rose which looked like a rose, a first for me. I bought the right (or was it left) handed flourish - I already have the original one and I wanted to get the opposite side one. I already have the lower case of the Memory Box letters so now I have the complete set. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Last but not least I bought one of those ribbon thingies, I am sure you must have seen them at shows before, I spent an hour when I got home make ribbon bows and flowers ready to put on presents. <br />
<br />
I am glad to be sat down now with my feet up and a glass of wine :).<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a good weekend.<br />

<br />
Hope you are all well and keeping warm. I am looking forward to the end of this week as the HobbyCraft show comes to our town at Event City which is next to the Trafford Centre in Manchester and I am going on Friday whoop, whoop :). This shows comes twice a year and I normally go and stock up on card and other goodies, I have a list of things I am hoping to buy and I am looking forward to seeing the demonstrations too :). <br />
<br />
Anyway on to my project which is for my Great Niece Becky. I had no idea what to get her and I always think giving just money is a bit lame so I tend to make these type of gift holders. <br />

The digi paper is from Cuddly Buddly, ribbon is from Costco, flowers are Joy Craft with a clear gem which I coloured with my Copics to match and butterfly is Memory Box. The letters were cut with my CraftRobo and raised with foam pads. <br />

<br />
Once opened it contains a giant block of Galaxy chocolate and a little pocket which holds a gift card or money - in this case it is money - the words I cut with my CraftRobo using Sweeheart font (one of my favourites) - my CraftRobo does not cut glitter card so after cutting out with normal card I used spray adhesive and pink glitter.<br />
<br />
Hope you like my gift card as much as Becky did. <br />

<br />
Thank you all so much for the lovely welcome back - I have enjoyed visiting your blogs and getting my creative juices going again. I have actually made quite a few cards so just need to photograph and get them on my blog. Still not done any colouring yet - but I will get round to it. <br />
<br />
Thought you might like to see my card I made for my step son's birthday which is today, he is a massive Dr Who fan - he even had a Dr Who house warming party.<br />
<br />

<br />
I had fun making this card with my Craft Robo but I cannot take the credit for design as it came from <a href="http://www.prettypapergraphics.com/item_423/The-Doctor-Cutting-Files.htm">Pretty Paper Graphics</a> - I also made one of the doctors too and I am using this for a card for his wife who equally loves The Doctor. <br />

This is the side view - I have since decorated the inside but haven't had chance to photograph it. <br />
<br />
Weekend is nearly here, been a long week for me so looking forward to a rest and hopefully some crafting<br />
<br />

Not sure if I have any followers left as it has been close on a year since my last post - problems with our business took my Mojo away - but I think she has started to come back and I have visited my craft room again :). Sorry I haven't commented on any of your blogs, I have dropped by occasionally just to see what you are all up to. <br />
Anyway New Year new start and I am going to try and make cards for our close family (of which there are many so my first card is for a lovely lady who is in her 80's - I didn't think she would like a coloured image and I have to admit I have coloured nothing in for over a year, so when I do you will have to be very patient with me as I guess I will be back to square one... lol. <br />

<br />
I have treated myself to some new dies and this is one of them - Detailed Scallops by Spellbinders. There are some amazing new dies coming out and I want them all... LOL, will have to wait though. Card is a lovely pearl card which I bought a stack of at a craft fair, flowers are WOC, hat pin and ribbon is from my stash. The lilac pearls are from a Viva Pearl pen (love this pen). <br />

I used the same die for the sentiment inside again with the Viva pen to add the pearls - so quick and easy. <br />

<br />
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for your lovely comments, they really do mean so much to me. <br />
<br />
Today I have a card which I made at the end of last summer and had not shown it - it fits this week's challenge at <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.uk/">Electic Ellapu</a> so I am glad I held on to it. <br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Long time no blogging, as you might know life have turned mega busy and I have not had the time to make cards or blog too much recently or even visit your lovely blogs and this weekend will be no exception as I have my young niece staying over to help me make 48 cup cakes for a Baby Shower I am co-hosting on Sunday - I am really excited about it and I have made so much stuff, a nappy cake, nappy motorbike, candle favours, sweetie bags and a baby shower card - there will be about 40 of us :). I will get piccies and upload next week. <br />
<br />
I have been neglecting my design teams and was going to retire but was asked to stay on both of them and just blog when I can, aren't they kind, so this card is for <a href="http://marvelousmagnoliachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Marvelous Magnolia</a> - this card is for a very good friend of mine, an oldie but goldie stamp - Tilda with Hawaiian Flower</div>

<br />
This was going to be my last card <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.uk/">Electic Ellapu</a> but the lovely Elaine said she would keep my place open and just post what challenges I can - so I might not make every challenge but I do have a couple more in the pipeline :). <br />
<br />
Our challenge this week is Special Birthday and I was asked to make a card for a first birthday - my window cleaner saw my cards through the window and asked if I could make a card for his niece. <br />
<br />

<br />
Today sees a new challenge over at <a href="http://fashionistachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Fashionista</a> and this is also my last card for them as I am taking a break from design team work due to lack of time because of work and family commitments. <br />
<br />
This month we are sponsored by the lovely <a href="http://vannabeacreations.blogspot.co.uk/">Vanabea</a> and I chose a super image called Lily.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I could see Lily dancing through a forest with fairies so that is what I did :). I used some Fairy Digital paper from <a href="http://www.craftsandme.co.uk/new30-forest-fairy-digital-papers-p-1485.html">Crafts and Me</a> - the colours of the papers were not right for the challenge so I changed one of them to red in Photoshop and then layered 'Lily' over the top and then coloured her in with Copics. <br />
<br />
Please drop over to Fashionista and see the other great creations and also meet our new DT members. <br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy my card. <br />

Today is a new challenge for <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.uk/">Electic Ellapu</a> and this is my penultimate card for the team as I have resigned from all my design teams due to lack of time - Elaine has been so kind to me and also said if my situation changes I can rejoin the team... so watch this spot :). <br />
<br />
My card is one I made for my nephew for Christmas. <br />

<br />
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year. I had a super time - extremely busy with family and friends - so busy that I have not been into my craft room since the beginning of December. This is one of the last cards I made before Christmas and also I am sad to say the last card I will be making for <a href="http://marvelousmagnoliachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Marvelous Magnolia</a> - at least for a while as I no longer have the time to make more than the odd card for family or friends and I have resigned from all the design teams I am on :(. Hopefully things will settle down for my by summer and I will be able to get back to making cards again. <br />
<br />
So my card is a special one made for one of our DT members who got married at New Year, we all made her a card and sent it as a surprise. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgobGU6igoN83zN4FXPjHx0Ssmm2LNz2kQWp0kn9HbgQvYgkl38CINlB7aa2sjO-oe_5YKqsA6YXeGp0doGgJY1Z3aPy8zQ_dWoEaDp7U8nXeUxfsse1wsUyNPB3tqPr7Vwgg9qOQbCI8c/s1600/wedding.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgobGU6igoN83zN4FXPjHx0Ssmm2LNz2kQWp0kn9HbgQvYgkl38CINlB7aa2sjO-oe_5YKqsA6YXeGp0doGgJY1Z3aPy8zQ_dWoEaDp7U8nXeUxfsse1wsUyNPB3tqPr7Vwgg9qOQbCI8c/s1600/wedding.png" /></a></div>
I used a Martha Stewart punch around the page and Cheery Lyn heart heart die. I also used one of my pins and some WOC flowers. <br />
<br />
So I hope you enjoy this card, I do have a few others I made before Christmas so you will see the odd card from me now and again. <br />
<br />
Please drop over to the <a href="http://marvelousmagnoliachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Marvelous Magnolia</a> blog and see the other beautiful wedding cards the DT made. <br />
<br />
I hope to still have the time to visit your blogs now and again and also upload the odd card I manage to make. <br />

<br />
Well we are nearly there now, just the food shopping to do and then cook Christmas Lunch for 11 of us, quiet year this one as normally it is around 16 to 18. It is lovely having a large family, except I have one vegetarian, two celiacs and one muslim, so I need a veggie option main meal, sausage meat and chestnut stuffing, gluten free stuffing (also used for the none pork eater and veggie), roast potates with goose fat, roast potatoes in olive oil and some halal meat and don't start me on the puddings, all worth it though. <br />
<br />
So onto my card we have a new challenge over at Marvelous Magnolia and this week our theme is two or more stamps. <br />

I just wanted to share this with you as hopefully it might help someone<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
I was phoned this morning just as I was leaving for work by a company called Ceylon Technical Support who told me they worked for Microsoft and that Microsoft were trying to send me some updates and a programme on my computer was stopping them, and he could help me by connecting to my computer and sorting out all my problems. <br />
<br />I work in IT, so I was the wrong person for them to speak to - I told them in no uncertain terms to go away and never phone me again. <br />
<br />I looked them up on the internet and apparently it is the latest scam, they remotely access your computer, which they lock down, then tell you that you have a virus or a problem which they will fix at a high cost - <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/regulators-smash-global-phone-tech-support-scam-operation-7000005195/">http://www.zdnet.com/regulators-smash-global-phone-tech-support-scam-operation-7000005195/</a>.<br />
<br />It make me furious as I can see so many people would be taken in with this - I also know that many of you are having problems with your computers at the moment and trust me this is not the answer. <br />
<br />Never click on any link in any email, have up to date antivirus, say no to any toolbars you are offered whilst browsing (they slow down your computer) and if your computer is playing up, turn it off and restart, you would be amazed how this fixes most problems. <br />
Hugs <br />

This is the first post I have made in months which was not a DT card, I have so many family Christmas cards that I need to let you see some every day till New Year... LOL. <br />
<br />
So today I would like to show you a card I made for another Step-Son and his partner. The same LOTV image that I used on Sunday - I coloured loads on mass one weekend at the caravan. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I made another of the folded cards - no idea what you call them and made a sort of scene with two new Marianne dies - the lamp post and the christmas tree, the fence I bought off ebay. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the reverse. <br />
<br />
So on to the title of my post - my good blogging friend <a href="http://susiesplanet.blogspot.co.uk/">PlanetSusie</a> showed a lovely picture of her fireplace, and I promised her a picture of my radiator, don't get me wrong we do have a fireplace in the front lounge and also a stove in our main lounge but the radiator in the hall has a special place in my heart. I think Sue thought I was joking... <br />

Well we are nearly there - I hope you are all ready or nearly ready - I just have wrapping to do and food shopping - yeah....<br />
<br />
Today see the start of a new challenge over at <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.uk/">Electic Ellapu</a> and we are extending the challenge over the Christmas period and our challenge is Anything Goes - always very popular. I had wanted to make a chocolate topiary tree after seeing another team mate do one on anothere challenge but time ran out so I have used one of my cards which has not been shown yet. <br />

<br />
It is a teepee card for my step-son and his partner, I have used a LOTV stamp, one of last years but new to me this year - as I loved the amount of fur on the girls coat and hat that I could add Glamour Dust to. <br />

<br />
We have a new challenge over at <a href="http://fashionistachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Fashionista </a>and I have two cards to share with you I made for my son and step son, they share a flat together so I thought twin cards would look cute - I hope they think so too.<br />

<br />
I am super busy at the moment so apologise if I have not visited you recently - things should start to slow down after this coming weekend. <br />
<br />
Today see's another challenge from <a href="http://marvelousmagnoliachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Marvelous Magnolia</a> and this week our theme this week is Snowflake - pretty easy one for this time of year. <br />
<br />
I decided to make a Shadow Box card for my niece. <br />
<br />

<br />
I used Tilda with Snowman and glittered with Glamour Dust on Tilda and Diamond Dust on Snowman. There is also a large Marianne Christmas Tree and Tim Holtz snowflake die again with Diamond Dust - I love this stuff :). <br />

<br />
Today sees a new challenge over at <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.uk/">Electic Ellapu</a> and this week's theme is Santa Paws & Snowflakes. I wanted to make a card for my good friend Pam - Pam loves my cocker spaniel, Rosie so what better than to make a doggy card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The image is call 'It's only me' by Giordano and although it is not a traditional Christmas image I wanted to use it because it is so sweet. <br />
This card has been hard to photograph - the red flowers and and ribbon have been glittered with stickles, sentiment is embossed with gold and the small snowflakes cut out of glitter card. <br />
<br />

Gosh where are the days and weeks going to, I had meant to blog about this last weekend but don't seem to have had a minute to spare. <br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to attend the open day at LOTV last Saturday and met up with Fleur and Lou who were demonstrating, but my main reason for going was I had booked myself on Bev's Distress Ink course. I have been looking at all the beautiful distress ink coloured images out there and wanted to know how to do it properly, to be honest I have never even tried, except when I bought the full set of Distress Ink pens when they first came out, I only had them for a day and they went straight back, in fact Bev said she bought a set too and hers went into the bin!!!<br />
<br />
I had a great afternoon, met some lovely ladies and had a go at using distressed inks, I am so busy at the moment it is going to be over the Christmas holidays before I get another chance to play again. Anyway I thought I would show you my first two attempts done with Bev, I guess I can only improve, but at least I have the hang of it and know what I should be doing now. <br />

I am a bit of an eBay queen and when I got home I thought I would have a look and maybe treat myself to some re-inkers as I don't have any, and I was lucky enough to notice an auction for 32 re-inkers which were only partially used and I am glad to say I won the auction and they arrived today. woohoo, so I am set up, just need some time now. <br />
<br />
Ahh well nearly weekend, our work's do on Saturday and then we are getting the Christmas decorations down from the loft, I like to get them done early as I love decorating the house and it always takes me at least two days. <br />
<br />
Have fun<br />

<br />
Today sees a new challenge over at <a href="http://marvelousmagnoliachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Marvelous Magnolia</a> and this week our theme is Non-Traditional Christmas colours - a favourite of mine, although this year I seem to have been making all red cards, so made a nice change. I chose two of the new stamps from the Christmas collection, Snowy Roof and Pixie Tilda, seems to have been a popular combination this year. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I made an open criss cross card - Tilda and roof is coloured in copics with two memory box dies, a spellbinder poinsettia, and Tim Holtz snowflake die all covered in Glamour Dust. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the front of the card, a die cut Snow word which I covered with Glamour Dust.<br />

<br />
Today sees a new challenge over at <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.uk/">Eclectic Ellapu</a> and this week's challenge theme is Layering/Open-able/Interactive - mmmm.... I have been wanting to make a sleigh pin cushion for ages and with a bit of imagination my sleigh fits the bill... there are layers, it is interactive but not sure about the opening bit, but Elaine being the nice person she is said it would be ok. <br />
<br />
So onto to sleigh which I throughly enjoyed making. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwpWjJhFCF98V1XIewH2QEwh9pdX2BX_KwCIFLLY06v1EWd_mLIFq3UFh1QdhqHStsLBk5D9XGAhU_R9h1yYGR7WFMnF9W404shfDm7xJYisIlWZGRDhdF-xMjN7qKNMMwWgwa-t1MsgA/s1600/sleigh3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwpWjJhFCF98V1XIewH2QEwh9pdX2BX_KwCIFLLY06v1EWd_mLIFq3UFh1QdhqHStsLBk5D9XGAhU_R9h1yYGR7WFMnF9W404shfDm7xJYisIlWZGRDhdF-xMjN7qKNMMwWgwa-t1MsgA/s1600/sleigh3.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
It is a bit of a work in progress and some of the pictures might not show all of the finished items. I started with a paper mache sleigh which I bought last year - I painted with while acylic paint, then I started to decorated it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk1c_1V6aiO-kfJKqVUaQT82HiUGTcT2F2t_SHWrf8SzVhl7XbXG3ebsdqskmTUhzVO6oFVzhdGmaUumwN9mXppuukHLa9pzIGk6LCH_P30qNgz8x_pK9vYHkuWLaogu_BtwRt9f-jvEQ/s1600/sleigh4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk1c_1V6aiO-kfJKqVUaQT82HiUGTcT2F2t_SHWrf8SzVhl7XbXG3ebsdqskmTUhzVO6oFVzhdGmaUumwN9mXppuukHLa9pzIGk6LCH_P30qNgz8x_pK9vYHkuWLaogu_BtwRt9f-jvEQ/s1600/sleigh4.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
As you can see I used marabou feather trim around the edges of the top, WOC and Kort and Godt flowers, rose trim and sparkly bead trim - there is a stick pin peeking out of the flowers with a dangle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-GKIZIAbBG9MIbTW32wvUYiA7aWLdQJfg5bwtsSJo3LNiI0DCum7jKeE-BWEeagBU79sbPldp6dtEOBUFjWao8Ju6O45qsxCXn_qriHMkeO9L8xZ_ZJn5XQStHjPJToxldV46NnVN2o/s1600/sleigh_flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-GKIZIAbBG9MIbTW32wvUYiA7aWLdQJfg5bwtsSJo3LNiI0DCum7jKeE-BWEeagBU79sbPldp6dtEOBUFjWao8Ju6O45qsxCXn_qriHMkeO9L8xZ_ZJn5XQStHjPJToxldV46NnVN2o/s1600/sleigh_flowers.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
At the front is a lovely silk ribbon, snowflake charm and a little jingle bell<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhepwHbB3UjOaYKT60Xfca-D0A0NtaRXqfg1vuHYEkI6Gxz0oNdX0rB2V1bfhUEtQx4zHrYEBqdv3qOaA8cucciO8EsA2vPH4QrU1qG5oFYnC2LepwZZRwhy39nlsGFZX7pEhp_3oGqCjM/s1600/sleigh-rbbon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhepwHbB3UjOaYKT60Xfca-D0A0NtaRXqfg1vuHYEkI6Gxz0oNdX0rB2V1bfhUEtQx4zHrYEBqdv3qOaA8cucciO8EsA2vPH4QrU1qG5oFYnC2LepwZZRwhy39nlsGFZX7pEhp_3oGqCjM/s1600/sleigh-rbbon.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I then made a pin cushion with some white satin fabic and had the most fun making some stick pins. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTgxwAmQwgVowBVw9rnMymLXmHGK8SQCXO_jR0EYt0LgYub2R8cOoXM6Zw6hMC08BSFnl8UquVANnwFtL7vmaKdUXJvldONLnSy50eAgDGK7Ew6KAhMFP5YZdiYbQE5qdQ01eX4d2q-iQ/s1600/sleigh_pins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTgxwAmQwgVowBVw9rnMymLXmHGK8SQCXO_jR0EYt0LgYub2R8cOoXM6Zw6hMC08BSFnl8UquVANnwFtL7vmaKdUXJvldONLnSy50eAgDGK7Ew6KAhMFP5YZdiYbQE5qdQ01eX4d2q-iQ/s1600/sleigh_pins.jpg" /></a></div>

and then another view of the pins. <br />

<br />
I decided to make a card for my niece - I used a couple of Marianne dies namely large Christmas tree<br />
and Poinsettia, kraft card and the paper is a digi from Barely Mine, together a beautiful bow from The Ribbon Girl. <br />
<br />
Close up of the Poinsettia with a lovely diamonte brad with blue diamonte centre also from Ribbon Girl - it is beautiful but hard to photograph. I cut the poinsettia out of white card, sprayed with adhesive and scattered Diamond Dust over it. <br />
<br />

I made a box to hold 4 little Lindt teddy bears - sorry there is only 3 but I ate one... it has been replaced since the photograph - , I used an oval spellbinder die to cut the oval and covered with acetate - I decorated the oval with Pearl deco pen and the pearls were perfect :), but then I closed the card.... duh... so not quite as perfect as they were at the beginning. <br />

<br />
Today sees the second challenge from our new blog <a href="http://marvelousmagnoliachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Marvelous Magnolia</a>, we were blown away with the quality and number of entries - we had over 200 entries for our first challenge - how amazing is that. <br />
<br />
For my project I have chosen Crunching Tilda and made a voltive holder for my sister and her husband. There seems to be a lot of these candle holders around at the moment, but they are all fairly small and I wanted to make a special larger version, so modified the measurements. It was super quick to make up as I just make my normal card box and glued it together. <br />
<br />

<br />
The papers I think are Pion - I bought a lot of Pion and Inkido papers recently and I have cut them up so cannot see which are which - bad girl. <br />

The voltive is really cute with a lovely heart button, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Kort and Godt<br />

<br />
The image is so cute, I coloured her with Copics and applied glamour dust to her hat, the doily behind her is a Marianne die which I distressed with Tea Dye. She was lovely to colour in and the gingerbread looks good enough to eat. <br />

<br />
Looking forward to today as I am seeing my step-daughter, husband and two children today, we don't get to see them that often and I love seeing the children.<br />
<br />
Today is a new challenge over at <a href="http://eclecticellapu.blogspot.co.uk/">Eclectic Ellapu</a> and this week our theme is Vintage. A little out of my comfort zone with this theme, but I had seen some lovely Inkido paper Forever Santa - so I thought I would give it a go. I also bought a sheet of Santa's Christmas which is gorgeous mini tag pictures of who else but Santa. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic1ET_hbSIB8YstDeCxhCXjNKBq-zbpD_trWbH2vkZOgUa8spF8PAfXz0jB9IAuWql_WcpxgtgVdpSGTgDriyJokl50qjJGt8ULs9KFzyJq4St7nWIQEy4fHRn0Fl9SR6sKdeoHkNbc0I/s1600/vintage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic1ET_hbSIB8YstDeCxhCXjNKBq-zbpD_trWbH2vkZOgUa8spF8PAfXz0jB9IAuWql_WcpxgtgVdpSGTgDriyJokl50qjJGt8ULs9KFzyJq4St7nWIQEy4fHRn0Fl9SR6sKdeoHkNbc0I/s1600/vintage.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I hated cutting into the paper, I bought two pages and used half of both... sob, sob. I hand cut a tag and distressed the edges, a Spellbinders pointsettia and Marianne snowflake with some of the paper. There is also a Cheery Lynn florish, WOC roses and one of my own hand made pins. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I distressed the edges of the poinsettia with a nail file (thanks Fleur for the advice), and used a WOC pearl brad in the center. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the inside which I haven't quite decided what to do with yet. <br />
<br />
This was not an easy card to photograph as the colours are quite delicate. <br />
