SNOW HAS ARRIVED!!!

Morning All!!

No card this morning - but thought I'd show you that snow has finally arrived in the south east of England!! Was meant to be teaching a class this morning but it has been cancelled ... so going to use the time to catch up on some DT cards and some of my special christmas cards I need to make :o)

SITTING ON A WALL

Hi Everyone!!

I'm a very happy bunny today as my daughter came home from her holiday in Mexico - I worry when she goes away LOL - she said the weather here is a bit different to what she's used to!!!!

Anyway ... I thought I'd share with you a card I made for a class I taught last week "Hidden Messages" - had to use a Tilda ...obviously!

This is one of the new Christmas Range Magnolias and I've coloured her with promarkers and added some glitter, the embossing folder is a new one from Creative Expression and works perfectly for her to sit on!! I've embossed it on coredinations card and sanded it back, added some "night sky" backing paper and attached the two with a brad so that it works like a hinge and when lifted reveals the message underneath :o)

I would like to enter:

Just thought I'd pop in and remind you that there is still a week to run on the challenge over at TOTALLY TILDA - the theme is GOLD AND GLITZ so get your glitter out and have a go!!!!

Here's another card to get you going :o)

I love this Tilda "longing Tilda" - I think she may just be waiting for Edwin LOL - I've coloured her with promarkers, and mounted her on nesties (blossom) to make a mini stand up card, I've used the gold promarker to edge the card and go over the swirls in the DP, and stamped the greeting in Gold brilliance ink.  Finished off with glitter and gems

Sorry I've been absent for a few days - still recovering from this horrible bug - really has got me down :o(

IT STARTED WITH A KISS

Hello All!!

Been a busy bee today preparing for my class next week - all the cards done now thought so I thought I'd share with you a card I made for my brother and sister-in-law for their wedding anniversary last Monday.  I love this image from Karen's Doodles - "First Kiss" - I've been waiting for the right time to use it :o)

I've coloured with promarkers, and used my new Martha Stewart punch around the page which not only gives a gorgeous corner/border it also pierces holes so I can do faux stitching!!  The sentiment is one of mine and can be found at SENTIMENTS 4 YOU
