Make a Wish

I really should be getting to bed soon, so just a quick new card that I wanted to get up for the There She Goes challenge - back to nature. I was looking to through my tildas to find this one (which I havent used for quite some time now!) and realised there are quite a few that I'm not sure I've inked up more than once to put them in my scrapbook of stamps I own - ooopsy! So you may seeing more of them over the next couple of weeks! Haha!

I've used the Sketch over on Sketch N Stash. The stickles aren't quite dry yet (very hot off the press) so they are almost too shiny, but I'm looking forward to the sparkle on them when I see them again in the morning!


Here's a close up of tilda...

Ted's Got Flowers

Ok, I'm taking a break from Christmas Cards for a while and moving onto some more generic ones.
I think I'm going to use this as a Thank You card for some friends who popped in for a suprise visit this weekend, I do love surprises!

I've used the sketch over on Mojo Monday:




Here's a close up of Ted, stickled to the max - I decided no to stickle the roses or hearts though, just to leave something! :)

Chilly and Blue

Ok, I need to start on birthday cards soon,  but I've got xmas cards on the brain so decided I might as well keep going right!? Sorry the photos aren't brilliant - early darkness means trying to capture them under the lights - I couldn't get rid of the shadows :-(

I've stopped listing exactly how I made my projects because it was taking me quite a lot of time and I wasnt sure anyone was getting any use out of it!

Right, I've got to get my thinking cap on for some nice "new home" treats for a friend who's having a house warming this weekend.

Maybe I'll have something to show you later today or tomorrow on it!

Have a great Wednesday! xxxx


Little Red Elf


Hi There,

It's been a while! I've been taken down by this rotten cold thats going round. Its really knocked me sideways! I can't taste ANYTHING but citrus flavours are really amped up, so everything vitamin c tastes sooo bitter! Yuck!

Oh well, I'm on the cold meds and hopefully over it soon :)

I've mainly been colouring images whilst trying to get better, but did manage to make this card - I've decided to try and start my xmas cards early this year and avoid the usual end of year rush! We'll see how it goes :)

I was feeling a little tired so went a little bit lazy today, but used my favourite colour - RED!




I went a little stickle crazy :)



Hope you can see a bit of the dimensions :)


I love this little adorable stamp!
