MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Hi All!!
I think this is probably the last time you will hear from me now till after the big day!!

Just popped in to wish each and every one of you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I've only been blogging for about 7 months, but in that time I have made the most amazing friends, got so much inspiration, and had such a brilliant time!! Thanks go out to everyone who has left me a comment, or sent me a lovely email, you are all the most amazing bunch, and I'm looking forward to spending 2009 in blogworld with you all!!

I'll be back after Christmas, hopefully with some sneek peeks of new designs for the new year...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!

Congratulations to MARIJKE!!

Hi, hope you are all well??

We have all got flu, and have still not wrapped presents, or finished writing and delivering cards!
Hubby has got another chest infection!(only had one in September, and took weeks to get over it!!)
We are slowly trying to get finished off when we have a little bit of energy(which isn't often!)
so i'm sorry for not leaving comments and taking ages to reply to emails!!

Anyway, depressing stuff out of the way... I wanted to show you this....

MARIJKE has won card of the week over at a CLUB she belongs to in Holland! and on her card she has used the Winter Elves~ Joyous stamp and very cleverly added aphabet beads on a string to make it look like they are being held!
Check out the card below........
How pretty is this???
Congratulations Marijke!!! and thanks for sharing your news!!! Your card is gorgeous!!!

Well thats me for now.....

Pollycraft challenge 5 Make a male card....

Hi all...its that time again.....

This time the challenge over at POLLYCRAFT MONDAY CHALLENGE has been set by Emma w

and Emma wants you to make a male birthday card....for any age....


As Emma rightly told us, it IS meant to be a challenge... but come on girl....male cards!!!!!!

I did mutter a few choice words when I found out about this one......


anyway..... choice words out of the way...heres my card.....
Fortunately I had to make a card for my Nephews birthday, so at least i had something to work with..... I've used the very lovely Dudley...who you can download for free from the shop.....

I chose not to decoupage him, because i'm rubbish at it, and instead added a few additional highlights and mounted him onto a cuttlebug embossed circle..... all the papers are from the basics set..... and the sentiment is a mix of dodgy handwriting and die cuts....
green lace is making memories {note worthy}

Emma.....I know I got really frustrated with this challenge at first... but I had fun really..... Thanks for giving us something to think about...and a break from christmas cards!!

Pop over to the Challenge blog to see the rest of the teams cards... and to see what the prize is this week....

Sorry its such a short post..... I'm writing it at midnight Sunday night and scheduling it....I don't think i'll be sleeping tonight as there is rather a difficult Design Team decision to be made!!!

Back in the land of the living......

Well, what a few days...... I've literally been laid up on the sofa since Monday!! Been feeling really sorry for myself too...I'm no good poorly! Think its Flu, but I've had a funny tummy too, just to top it off nicely!
My little man was sick Wednesday too..... which really couldn't have come at a worse time! Hubby came home from work early and looked after us both though....bless him!!Not feeling 100% yet, but need to get on top of things.....so i'm being a brave soldier.....
Just a couple of things to mention....

The Mary Lous shoes stamps have all of a sudden just started selling like hotcakes!! and 6 have been showing as out of stock for a couple of days, I do have a small amount of stock of some of them, as I also sell through ebay....I've now put these back in the shop.... but they won't last long....

The New Woodland Elves Stamps will be available to buy on Tuesday 9th December..... I'll be adding some special Candy of the Elf Variety later on.....

And......Most downloads in the shop are reduced from now until the 15th..... some are 50% off!....so if you've not finished your last minute Christmas cards yet...pop over and grab a bargain.....

well thats me...
Hope you are all flu free......
