Some Exciting News - And a quick card!

Evening all, hope you're all keeping warm and enjoying your weekend.
Today I have some exciting news to share, I have been chosen to join the lovely talented ladies over at The ribbon Reel as a DT member, yippeee!!!!!
Be sure to visit the blog if you haven't already, as there is a great 'Pastel Christmas' challenge on with a fab prize for the lucky winner. A £10 gift voucher to spend in store on goodies of your choice. The store has an extensive range of ribbons, trims flowers and embellishments, perfect for all your creations, you can find the store here.

So with the good news shared, onto my card, I made a very similar card a few weeks ago (in fact I have made 5 in total!) as a neighbour had ordered cards suitable to send to his sons, he didn't want anything too fussy or flowery, so I went for more of a CAS theme.
The baubles are from a Christmas stamp set, stamped in clear ink and embossed with Sea Foam embossing powder. Ribbon is from my local haberdashery and the tiny bows are hand made, yes I have managed to thread a needle! The sentiment is from the same stamp set and the White cardstock has been embossed using my Snowflake embossing folder, hope you like it!

The image is Tilda of course, coloured with Promarkers, papers are Sweet Shoppe 'Beautiful You' by Zoe Pearn, flowers are WOC, tiny pom-pom trim is from The Ribbon Girl, the gorgeous ribbon is from my local haberdashery store and the sentiment is computer generated, hope you like it!

Traditional Christmas

Evening all, just a quick post whilst trying to watch X Factor, I had planned on posting earlier but my eldest Daughter has decided she needs a Disney fancy dress costume for next Saturday and all the popular ones such as Snow White, Cinderella have already been spoken for, so we have been searching Google looking for ideas!
If anyone has any good suggestions, please let us know!
Right onto my card, I thought I would make a Christmas card using traditional colours, so I have gone for a Red,Gold and Cream colour scheme. I have used a sweet Tilda image, sentiment from See D's, flowers from WOC and gold leaves from my local garden centre.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you're enjoying your weekend, hope you like it!

Christmas Is Coming!

Evening all, thought I better make my post before Downton starts, can't miss my highlight of the week!
I have made another Christmas card as I have quite a few orders, I know it's only October but it will be here before we know it!
A family friend has asked me to make several cards for his family and close friends, as he is in his seventies I didn't think dear Tilda was very appropriate so found a gorgeous Christmas stamp set from Kanban which is what I have used on my card. The cardstock has been embossed with a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder, the ribbon and gems are from my stash and the sentiment is Hot Of The Press. Thanks for stopping by, hope you like it!
