Christmas angel...

Good morning fellow bloggers and those of you who are off to the NEC...so lucky. I might save my pennies for the NEC next time instead of the SECC. You must tell me what it's like. I am hoping that I can get a couple of cards done today but Holly is off scholl unwell so she is still sleeping just now but she is a hard patient and lays it on worse than it really is...I almost have to be by her side tending to her every demand.."can I have a driiiink", "can you change the channel on the telly", "can you fluff up my pillows"...that's how it will go the full day....she has a sore throat!!
So the is the first one today...the snowflake papers are from Fancy Pants and the digi image is from CC Designs and I coloured this cute little angel with promarkers and then just done some shading on top with waterpencils. The snowflakes were punched with the Martha Stewart punches...Love them!! I finished off with gems and glitter...hope you like!!

Happy Birthday to you....

Another rainy day here...what can I say!! These are new Echo Park papers which I bought last week so I thought today was as good a time as any to use them....now this one was a bit of a disaster but I think I have rescued it....I bought one of the pearl pens from Quixotic and added this to the corners...then I forgot I had done that and stuck my thumb right on top...so I had a brainwave!! i thought I will wait until it is dry an then pick it off...only thing it took some of the paper off too so I had to make the dots slightly bigger than had wanted but I think it looks ok. I have coloured Brigitta and the fence with copics...Brigitta is from All That Scraps and the fence is from Pollycraft. I distressed the edges of the paper and around the circle and added a message which was in my stash...no flowers!! I have entered this card in the challenges below...remember I have candy..

Happy birthday

Hi folks..just a quickie....got a delivery today...a few goodies to play with including these papers from Bo Bunny. I stamped Anya and coloured her with copics and layered her onto the card. I thought these papers were a bit different from the norm I buy...so a wee change. I quickly had to nick Michael's camera again to take the photo but it's back in it's place with the photo deleted...he'll never know!! Will nee to interrogate Holly about mine when she comes home from school....and they are now on holiday for 7 weeks....oh nnnnooooo!! Just as well I'm working and her granny will have joys of an almost teenager first thing in the morning...not a pleasant experience!!

I coloured the Anya's with copics and cut them out and layered them on to the card to give a 3d effect, I also cut the butterflies from the same paper and layered them aswell and finished it off with buttons and best mates message.....I should have used a plain piece for the scallop as you can't really see it in the photo but it does look ok in real life!

I made this for a couple of challenges today...since it is snowing outside..that gave me a little inspiration for this one. I made this for Anyone for Anya and Susie and Vikki's Christmas Club Challenge. I think this is my favourite Anya stamp..she's so cute!! I coloured her with my copics and added some glitter to give that wintery look, the backing papers are from Heidi Grace - Frost Boulevard.

Anyone fo Anya?

I made this card for the Anyone for Anya Challenge. This is not normally a card I would make..a pop up if that's what you call it.... I saw one of the designers had made one of these so I though I would give it a go!! the image is also new which I downloaded a few weeks ago from TGF but this is the first time I've used it and the papers are from Making Memories.
