Christmas Cards Day 7

Well we have finally gotten some snow, not a lot and certainly not enough to stop me getting to work but some. I love the white stuff but wish it would start on Christmas eve (after I have bought everything I need) and finish on Boxing day morning (just in time for the sales) lol. Oh well I can wish I suppose.

Another day another card, I have really enjoyed making these christmas cards and once the inserts are in they can be posted. I can't believe Christmas is around the corner, I am usually so organised and excited but this year I just feel flat. I am usually nagging hubbie to put up the tree by now. hopefully when december arrives tomorrow eek, I will start to feel the christmas spirit.

Christmas Cards day 6

I love gingerbread, men, ladies, houses you name it I love it. This christmas we seem to be surrounded with them. As soon as I saw this little guy I knew I would buy the set, he was so easy to colour and I finally go to use some of the buttons I bought about three years ago.

Roses are Pink

Sometimes when looking at other peeps blogs I have an idea to try some of their creations and this is one of them. I saw a card on Mina's blog and loved the idea of the flower coloured in sepia tones and with a circle of colour, it reminded me of my favourite film "Pleaseantville". I love the image and was quite peased with how the colouring went not quite so happy with the finished card as I feel it missed the mark a bit. It needs something but I am not sure what, answers on a postcard please lol. No sentiment yet as I haven't decided who it is for.

Christmas Card day 5

Back to the christmas cards again lol. I mentioned a while ago that I was dieting and had lost a bit of weight well I have now lost 42 pounds or 3 stone. I still can't believe it and although I feel fitter I don't think I look any different lol. It still amazes me that I can fit into clothes that I never thought I would wear again. I hope no-one minds me mentioning it here but I thought if I put it on my blog I may stick to it better.

A break from the Christmas Cards

Morning all, I decided to give you a break from my Christmas cards today with a bright and cheery boys card. On my bloghopping travels I often see cards that inspire me and none more so than Kerry, I love the clean and simple style she uses and just wish I could colour like her, she inspires me to use my prisma's more. I saw a card recently that had an image from the clip art fairy on and I decided to visit the website to have a look, wow, loads of digi stamps starting from just 25p, I couldn't just buy one now could I. I have used one of these images for this card and will be back for more as they are an absolute joy to colour and look so effective. I have even used some of my precious brads, I have more brads than I will ever use but never seem to have the right one for the right card lol.

Christmas Cards day 2

It's day 2 of the christmas cards and another simple but hopefully stylish creation. I have tried to make these easy to reproduce so I can make several of the same design. Still have a load to make but at least I have started lol. Spent last night wrapping a few presents and it made me feel all christmassy, wanted to listen to christmas songs and drink hot chocolate oh and of course break out the Quality Street. Image coloured with trusty copics and a bit of glossy accents, what I ever did before I bought this I don't know.

Christmas Cards

Well I have finally started on my christmas cards, made a grand total of 12 this weekend and they all pretty much follow the same format and will post them over the next few days. I decided to go with a clean and simple approach as I have so many to make and it is also a busy birthday month, mojo seems to behaving although not enough to take part in any challenges lol.
