Quick Christmas Wishes

Since hurting my arm I've fallen even further behind on my Christmas cards - I'm really going to have to get into the spirit over the next few weeks to get them out on time!!  I like to have them ready the first week of Dec since so many go overseas.

For my card today I used the Merry Christmas - Happy New Year sentiment from Stamping Bella, and I actually managed to make 4 of them!  The image is coloured with markers then stamped onto bella's bestest paper.  I cute the image out with nesties and layered it on black cs.  The ds paper is from basic greys joival paper.  On the olive cs I used cuttlebugs snowflake embossing folder.

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme is 1-2-3 - 1 stamp, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments - email your cards to Em by Thursday to be included on Friday

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Wedding cake...

We spent the weekend in Montreal for a friend's son's wedding (how did we get to going to friends kids weddings?!)  We were lucky enough to see Paul McCartney on Thursday night while we were there; and he was amazing!  How someone at his age can sing for over 2 hrs solid without a break (or even water) boggled my mind.  I don't think anyone said he missed one of their favourite songs - it was so great!  Then we spent 2 days wondering Montreal; I have only been back once since we moved lived there & it was in the dead of winter and the weather was perfect; how we miss those days & nights of summer in the East!!

Now onto my card!  I decided to ink up LULU's Wedding Cake for the occasion.  I didn't know the wedding colours so I chose to go with black & white - and I guessed right!!  The image is stamped on bella's bestest paper & I did only a little shading on the cake itself with c00, c0.  I coloured the roses with r35, r37, r39 and paper pieced them onto the cake then added some glamour dust glitter to the image.

I went through my stash of paper and came across My Minds Eye's Love Letters, which was perfect.  I added some sting of pearls to finish the card.

Don't forget this weeks Bellariffic Friday's challenge is this great sketch.  Last weeks cards were amazing; you are making it hard on us babes to choose!!  Email your cards to Em by Friday & please include your blog info on the card -

Have a fantastic day & thanks for stopping by

Solid & Funky

I woke up today thinking my post was up; but wait I hadn't taken a picture of my card, and if there's no picture there's no post!!  So with coffee in hand I came to my stamp room to actually do my post!

When I saw this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC80) I wanted to play along & when I was flipping through my bindah's I came across solid Funky Dandelion from Stamping Bella.  It was a perfect image for the sketch & will be perfect to have in my stash for a Thank you card - hubby has pointed out if I didn't always buy cute little girl or boy images I would have lots of generic cards.  He may be right on this point, but really how can I resist the cute images?!?!

I used markers on my stamp & of course the necessary heavy breathing then added a little bit of glamour dust glitter to the base of my flower.  All the paper is from my stash of scraps and I sewed around the layers.

Don't forget this weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge is BLING - razzle & dazzle us and please include your blog details on your image.  Email your cards to EM by Thursday to be included on Friday - last week was amazing you're taking the DT spot very seriously!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day
