Mistletoe and Wine

Ok who is now singing a la Cliff, I know I am. I used this image quite a bit last year and was looking for a cute couple image when I found a ready printed one in my draw. A quick copic colour and the card practically made itself. I have used left over papers from my christmas card making marathon and I am so loving this colour combo.

Another christmas card

Well I have nearly finished the christmas card pile and must say I have really enjoyed making them this year. I have finally moved my laptop into my craftroom and am enjoying watching tutorials whilst I craft. I normally stay in there just long enough to make the card I need but since moving the lappy in there I seem to be in there all the time.

On with the card, I have used a Digistamp Boutique image that I have seen on loads of cards and thought looked so cute. Coloured with my trusty copics and used some stickles and of course glossy accents. Digistamp boutique has 20% off their christmas images at the moment and have just seen the cute nativity kids on Kerry'sblog so may have to go get those as well. All my cards this year have been 4 x 4 and I can see myself using this size again, so cute and quick lol.

Christmas Card - day 10

I just love these cute images, a dream to colour and so easy to embellish. You might have noticed that there is very little on these cards except the odd button, well there is a reason, the cost of postage. I will be adding a few gems, card candy or combo of both but not until i know they will fit through the postage slot. I am not an old miser before you ask just begrudge having to pay extra just cos there is a button on it.

Anyway on to todays card, another simple affair although there is a large layer of stickles on this one. I am loving this Zoe Pearn paper, love the colours, patterns and oh well everything actually lol. I only own three kits by Zoe but can see a new addiction forming. Once I find a designer I like I seem to want everything they have ever made lol.

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.

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.

Hello

Well folks I had a play in my craftroom this week and managed to make a few cards, never seem to have enough time and when I do make a card like I did last week I forget to take a photo. I have a few birthdays coming up and decided to try and not be making them the night before lol. The first card is one I made for my friend from work. I have used an Elzybells stamp, I know I stamped rather than printed lol. I bought a few in the closing down sale, I actually did two orders as I forgot this stamp the first time around. I coloured her with copics then remembered these papers and she didn't match but I had got the hair just right and didn't want to start again so I paper pieced her, this technique is so much easier with a stamp rather than a digi stamp.

Challenge: Sketch Saturday Sketch

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge Card

I don't know about anyone else but when I first saw sketches I was more than a little anxious, and here I am now looking forward to the next one. I find my mojo returns with a passion when I see a ketch I like and once I start I can't stop. I loved this sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and will be using it again and again and again.

I needed a card with a cat on for my Mum's friend who rescues cats. This lovely lady likes pink and blue and cats was the brief. Hope I have fulfilled this. Used an image from Digistamp Boutique called Spencer and the papers are a freebie from Zoe Pearn. I saw Donna's card and decided to use the idea of the sentiment around the image.
