Happy Christmas, and a card

Hi all

Hope you had a lovely Christmas and are not suffering too much from over-indulging lol! I hada great time, and am off work at the moment so having really chilled out days, shame I have to go back eventually.

Anyway, I cleared a path on my craft desk this morning and have actually sat at it for the first time in weeks. I had a play with my scor-pal which was one of only a few crafty pressies I got this year. I didn't feel like I needed much crafty goodies as I want to work my way through what I have then have a big splurge later on in the year for lots of new things.

So, I discovered that the very talented Kathy of Daring Cardmakers fame has set up a sketch blog. You so need to go and have a look. I have made a card today using her Sketch #2. I used crate papers, my trusty cricut for the star and a stamps away stamp. Hope you like it and that you decide to go and visit Kathys new blog for inspiration.

Have a great New Year all. Will post again in 2009!!!!

Joy!!

Hello all, it's been a while but I am back to show you this little creation I made earlier. A chipboard Christmas Decoration, using Pink Petticoat Tis The Season papers and image stamps.

I made the backing by covering six 4" x 3" pieces of chipboard with the patterned papers (aren't they fab papers?!) and then attaching ribbon to the 3 along the back, leaving equal spaces between then. You will notice in the second photo that I knotted the ribbon at the ends.

I then attached the front panels and decorated using some Pink Petticoat Monograms printed onto some more Tis The Season papers.
I also added some of the cute little robins, which I printed at A5 size so that I could punch them out and layer up on a scalloped circle punch.
Some ribbons, glitter, a brad and some bling were also added to finish it off.
The very generous Liz from Pink Petticoat is running a competition to win a Making Memories Slice, all you have to do is make something using Pink Petticoat products to enter. Better be quick though as it closes this weekend.
Me, being the die-cutting junkie that I am just HAD to have a bash at this competition, wish me luck. And good luck to anyone else entering.
