We got up this morning to a blizzard and by lunch-time we have been treated to another half foot of snow.

I've had computer problems this week so Suzanne has been working on reinstalling everything for me. She's very good at stuff like this. It's had a virus, poor thing, but I think it's better now. We'll see how it behaves over the rest of the week.<br /><br />I called this card "White Christmas" for want of a better name. I used one of my Sarah Kay stamps which I've just dusted off for this Christmas. I've put a little bit of green on it to break the white up a bit. I didn't have any white flowers so they're a kind of creamy colour. I suppose in the end it didn't end up very white.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYTR_pHA8uHxsn1xvXwn71_GUV9ay820IILpP7LLIWNKAwIbV7DI8gv5EKoWurji5Cg778hMChoipvx5V2K7gWcFFoV5OVYILb0ne6V83VzpxggX2mDcnfKdrSFV2sMwK_ekQUwnBBPZEW/s1600/003-1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYTR_pHA8uHxsn1xvXwn71_GUV9ay820IILpP7LLIWNKAwIbV7DI8gv5EKoWurji5Cg778hMChoipvx5V2K7gWcFFoV5OVYILb0ne6V83VzpxggX2mDcnfKdrSFV2sMwK_ekQUwnBBPZEW/s320/003-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551001679554437138" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My recipe:<br />Image: Sarah Kay - Noel Charity coloured with Distress Inks<br />Cardstock: Bazill and Coredinations<br />Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts<br />Ribbon, lace, pin and brads from stash<br />Martha Stewart snowflake punch and glitter card<br />Leone Em fern punch<br />Silver Stickles<br />Sentiment from stash<br /><br />I would like to enter these challenges:<br /><a href="http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/">ABC</a>: J is for Jewels and Gems<br /><a href="http://totallygorjuss.blogspot.com/">Totally Gorjuss</a>: Snow<br /><a href="http://creativeinspirationschallenge.blogspot.com/">Creative Inspirations</a>: Anything Goes Christmas<br /><a href="http://cutedaisymay.blogspot.com/">Whoopsi Daisy</a>: Lace and Pins<br /><a href="http://aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/">A Spoonful of Sugar</a>: Christmas Card<br /><br /><br />That's it.

You would not believe how cold it is here. Our council is now considering calling in the army to help clear the snow and ice, we've got so much of it. A white Christmas is nice, as long as it snows on Christmas Eve and then disappears. There are 10 inch icicles on our rabbit hutch - we've just managed to catch him so we can bring him inside.<br /><br />This is a card I've made with a stamp I've had for a couple of years now. I wasn't sure the card was going to work but I think it looks ok. I've used diamond glaze on Rudolph's nose and bells but you can't see it so well in the photo. It looks dead cool in real life.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTph9_Zrtj3NTmtpxUk9wjfPMPMZ6fTDt_Zk89U8JR0dxfkbAzbA4-yScOpcgvjl_FTTTt6e1X6u4g9X31TxhrOOhM6tfQT_crrQmHBjnKr4ZChgbo2PoNwGq8410td8xHzILrH5Gtv0pN/s1600/Rudolph.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTph9_Zrtj3NTmtpxUk9wjfPMPMZ6fTDt_Zk89U8JR0dxfkbAzbA4-yScOpcgvjl_FTTTt6e1X6u4g9X31TxhrOOhM6tfQT_crrQmHBjnKr4ZChgbo2PoNwGq8410td8xHzILrH5Gtv0pN/s320/Rudolph.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548378740883936050" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My recipe:<br />Image - I'm sorry I can't tell you who produced this stamp, I've had it for a while.

It's been almost 2 weeks since I posted a card - mainly due to the fact that it's so cold in our dining room I can't bear to sit at the p.c. I have made a couple of cards though. This is a birthday card for my nephew, Ryan, who is going to have a birthday in a couple of days. I'm going to enter this card in the Fab n Funky Blog Hop this week. The folk who organise these challenges work so hard and I don't have time to enter many but I'm going to do this one. All you have to do is make a birthday card, follow the blogs to collect the letters, leave a comment and you might get picked for one of the great prizes. Easy peasy, Lionel squezy as they say on the advert (how could he demean himself? It's not like he needs the money!)<br /></div><br />Here's the card, then.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFn7nkuGNDxwoIZizX4P29_whmAbqnPx_S-L0tcSfwJ2WmRTpcN2n1jodXzATVYhlIztMBI4VFkhjNlVNp8yT9xAbr7nlWZgWM58rc5G0nNJOVkOrFAbw7RBlLcxpGxRJdcawlMZl_ga1l/s1600/Big+Present.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFn7nkuGNDxwoIZizX4P29_whmAbqnPx_S-L0tcSfwJ2WmRTpcN2n1jodXzATVYhlIztMBI4VFkhjNlVNp8yT9xAbr7nlWZgWM58rc5G0nNJOVkOrFAbw7RBlLcxpGxRJdcawlMZl_ga1l/s320/Big+Present.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547137675952624658" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />And here's my recipe:<br /><br />Image: Big Present - Lili of the Valley<br />Coloured with Pro Markers<br />I used Bazzil and Coredinations Cardstock (blimey, not a bit of designer paper in sight!)<br />Ribbon, buttons, corner from stash<br />Ticket: Tim Holtz<br /><br />I can enter these challenges:<br /><a href="http://fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/">Fab n Funky</a> Blog Hop - Make a Birthday Card.

I've used one of my favourite stamps (obviously), my Promarkers, a border punch, embellies and nice cardstock. The stamp has a little boy with a present on it. Some my favourite things which I found a bit more challenging on a boy's card<br /><a href="http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/">Papertake Weekly</a>: The sketch. A lovely Dawny P one. Thank you.<br /><br />Shock, gasp, horror!!! This card looks filthy in the corner. Honestly, it's not. I can only imagine it's my manky computer screen I'm looking at or the bit of card in the background where it was being photographed. What a pigging mess, as Dawny P would say!! It's clean in real life, cross my heart! Why oh why don't I check these things before I put them on?<br /><br />I had hoped to have a wee picture of the snow in our garden to show you but it isn't uploaded yet. I bet you are all sick and tired of snow but since we have been absolutely snowed in here I have to show you our bird box. I'm surprised it's still on the fence it has so much white stuff on top of it. I'll put it on next time. I hope you are all coping with this weather. Our cat has had to revert to a litter tray in the house and the poor dog doesn't know if she's coming or going. I don't think I've ever seen our next door neighbour walking up the street but he can't get the car up so he's on foot! Never mind, it can't last forever. Or can it....<br /><br />I've picked up a couple of awards (took me ages to pick them up, sorry). Both from Suzanne. I haven't had these before - thank you. I have to think who I can pass them onto now. May take me some time.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjJYbtHKvZG39tE3P23PKWrVS4KTXiG2j0guPUPi4K4V5U_hcV2gDvqsYdoXwevJCLd70k2Ehg7M31_aKwI2SCwVFYEtwfHUicwc2hOdajThEv8SYXs8kMF282cEZvHCAaRxuMq-1Xx3O/s1600/Attitude_Blog_Award.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 148px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjJYbtHKvZG39tE3P23PKWrVS4KTXiG2j0guPUPi4K4V5U_hcV2gDvqsYdoXwevJCLd70k2Ehg7M31_aKwI2SCwVFYEtwfHUicwc2hOdajThEv8SYXs8kMF282cEZvHCAaRxuMq-1Xx3O/s320/Attitude_Blog_Award.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547139132724372546" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div> <br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-wE6iBO8hiCaCeiu1nUnsFC2u_3MvpUzFHgn1ct4cOj7YPeNeEij6iY2Bckp4WSH7TMbFEni6pE9mKDviktYB0OqLbFIl6H1YU6RqEyEuW1bE2wxxR0pcuFX38MduZlILb2-6CWvgpk1/s1600/sweet-blogaward.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 192px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-wE6iBO8hiCaCeiu1nUnsFC2u_3MvpUzFHgn1ct4cOj7YPeNeEij6iY2Bckp4WSH7TMbFEni6pE9mKDviktYB0OqLbFIl6H1YU6RqEyEuW1bE2wxxR0pcuFX38MduZlILb2-6CWvgpk1/s320/sweet-blogaward.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547139427829838050" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Sorry it's such a long post.

I thought I was cracking on well with my Christmas cards until Kimberley got rid of most of them at her charity thingumy bob which has left me with a grand total of 6 cards including this one. I can see me having to go out to buy some!<br /><br />I love this little image. I got it last year and I couldn't possibly not use it again. It's a Penny Black stamp and since the sketch on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge was such a nice one this week I thought I would enter. I've called this card Silent Night but maybe I should have called it Starry Night?

The kitchen is not done owing to the painter not finishing. I'm still waiting for him and the carpet fitter to lay the floor covering and then the washing machine and fridge can go back in and we can get the rest of the cupboards filled up. Can't possibly expect them to work on a Saturday morning to complete it, can we? I have to say, I don't know where I'm going to put everything. There is definitely less cupboard space although I was assured it was the same size as the old one. Never mind, it will be lovely when it's finished so I'll just have to down-size and stop complaining.<br /><br />I'm still working with some of my older stamps. This time it's a WOJ one; Willow with Cookies.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR83VXJXyR5LjgEhOd4Lgpg9GTcJWK8hLGCb7qhjYqu4zblrU6NT7wbOVLLQIWgvI_mYUn3YAC0l6cLLiABRCh0NQIiTx1hx8hpu0Ce5TLRllUA_Gtfd2QH4WN3TCSaF6S-O1Wfzhs0xHp/s1600/Willow+with+cookies.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR83VXJXyR5LjgEhOd4Lgpg9GTcJWK8hLGCb7qhjYqu4zblrU6NT7wbOVLLQIWgvI_mYUn3YAC0l6cLLiABRCh0NQIiTx1hx8hpu0Ce5TLRllUA_Gtfd2QH4WN3TCSaF6S-O1Wfzhs0xHp/s320/Willow+with+cookies.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531210276117016882" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />My card recipe:<br />Image: Willow with Cookie - Whiff of Joy<br />Coloured with Distress Inks<br />DP's: I can't find it now but I think it's called Christmas Hearts - Paper Adventures<br />Cardstock - Coredinations<br />Gingerbread men and flowers from stash<br />Platinum and Lace Stickles<br />Tools: Cuttlebug and Season's Greetings embossing folder<br />Sentiment: Cuddly Buddly<br /><br />I can enter the following challenges:<br />The sketch is from <a href="http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/">Papertake Weekly</a><br /><a href="http://wojmondaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Whiff of Joy</a> is Distressing<br /><a href="http://totallygorjuss.blogspot.com/">Totally Gorjuss</a> is Sparkle<br /><a href="http://fussyandfancychallenge.blogspot.com/">Fussy and Fancy</a> is Winter Wonderland<br /><br />I hope you like this card.

We've got the men in fitting a new kitchen so I'm sharing the living room with a cooker, washing machine and over-sized fridge/freezer and my bedroom with boxes of kitchen utensils so I thought I'd escape and make a card. Mind you, from the noise they're making you'd think they were building a new house never mind a new kitchen. I feel like we're camping at the moment; I hope it's worth it when they're finished.<br /><br />This is another of my older Sugar Nellie stamps which I dug out a few weeks ago. A few of their lines are coming to an end. I'm so glad I've got my Maggies and Hamishes, I wouldn't want to have missed them. Maybe they'll become collector's items!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrWcAAkRkn6hHd79zug3ecYBoTJHe-p7wc6_M-ykEu7PXFkszJkH-Qujozp2OkJOsVQaPLZzP4eIIPgCtNi-ascJDyrEcdqpkatpPhEJ2Jn8bjAQOECRjDEcM0VhgvP9MRrdQei1zNcsSd/s1600/Swing.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrWcAAkRkn6hHd79zug3ecYBoTJHe-p7wc6_M-ykEu7PXFkszJkH-Qujozp2OkJOsVQaPLZzP4eIIPgCtNi-ascJDyrEcdqpkatpPhEJ2Jn8bjAQOECRjDEcM0VhgvP9MRrdQei1zNcsSd/s320/Swing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529686535414020882" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My card recipe:<br />Image: Rope Swing - Sugar Nellie<br />Coloured with Distress Inks<br />Papers: MME - Wild Asparagus (my last bits, sob sob)<br />Cardstock: Coredinations<br />Flowers: Handmade<br />Brads: Papermania<br />Tools: Cuttlebug; Petit Ovals Small; Beaded Ovals<br />Sentiment: a stamp from my stash<br /><br />I can enter this card for these challenges:<br />The Sketch is from the <a href="http://sugarbowlblog.blogspot.com/">Sugar Bowl</a> (what a lot of layers - it took me ages!)<br /><a href="http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/">ABC</a> is Flowers this week<br /><a href="http://totallygorjuss.blogspot.com/">Totally Gorjuss</a> is Pink (or predominantly pink)<br /><br />That's it - thanks for looking.<br /><br />Lynne.x<br /><br /><br /></div></div><div style="display: none;" id="YontooInstallID">716ad8d4-6ae1-46a4-975b-5d466a5c086b</div><div style="display: none;" id="YontooClientVersion">1.03.01</div>Lynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13056202906105573704noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079419962319763344.post-79571002057677410002010-09-30T12:33:00.006+01:002010-09-30T12:54:23.285+01:00Princess Tilda<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDq2s6jLOTZOnLj9PvfokgNfguaU6f3LJDg2vBq1unvejGJRUn3fIa3qv2eZgn238y1yCW49bOSnf8vIgdVbMQKLHgdjVJkwTIUAMoNZa9lHXpEOv4qIfBVANh1pT-jhAhxA6af6TX72U7/s1600/2010+09+29_0973_edited-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 50px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDq2s6jLOTZOnLj9PvfokgNfguaU6f3LJDg2vBq1unvejGJRUn3fIa3qv2eZgn238y1yCW49bOSnf8vIgdVbMQKLHgdjVJkwTIUAMoNZa9lHXpEOv4qIfBVANh1pT-jhAhxA6af6TX72U7/s320/2010+09+29_0973_edited-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522669435529618386" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Good afternoon everyone<br /><br />It's not often I manage to get to the computer in the afternoon but I've managed to grab half an hour before I go back to work this afternoon.

Once I've done that I can go out and buy some more stash!<br /><br />See you next time.<br /><br />Lynne.x<br /></div></div>Lynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13056202906105573704noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079419962319763344.post-84925905253156213472010-09-15T20:47:00.006+01:002010-09-15T21:24:21.834+01:00Dress-Up Maggie<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNsW2uunYichvmRn1sv142YbbiopBPm3iB9A08z46TxctnLjX4cQRYO-k4Snh_gkovH2nQGoEjqteK1A062lXRNZq7tRykNgs-krwEivbKe8dekhLfFBg9i0dS1w6_O-rpLBP80uSfPH6K/s1600/Maggie+-+banner.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 31px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNsW2uunYichvmRn1sv142YbbiopBPm3iB9A08z46TxctnLjX4cQRYO-k4Snh_gkovH2nQGoEjqteK1A062lXRNZq7tRykNgs-krwEivbKe8dekhLfFBg9i0dS1w6_O-rpLBP80uSfPH6K/s320/Maggie+-+banner.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517230137208825362" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Hello everyone<br /><br />I thought I'd dig some of my older stamps out this week. I haven't used Dress Up Maggie for ages. I love this image - she looks like she's all dressed up ready to paint the town all different colours. I should have called this post "Painting the town pink, green, blue and yellow!" I always use green and pink for Maggie; she suits these colours so well. I've given her a bit of bling but I don't think she really needs it. I don't know where my stamping was going on the Happy Birthday. It's like the Burma Road, up and down! Never mind, here she is - all ready to go.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr8mnCInSLEWpTmVLAj8fiI-15xsRifZRG7nKaWqmEmq9G4sxgNNHw6Gmo-ShZEnQLsIKtAeTvanQH2iifCGRRol7r_PBOBPVZGjbdqXh9oafVOEBV46GCQl7e4Pecwqk9fxWJYpfhRheJ/s1600/Maggie.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr8mnCInSLEWpTmVLAj8fiI-15xsRifZRG7nKaWqmEmq9G4sxgNNHw6Gmo-ShZEnQLsIKtAeTvanQH2iifCGRRol7r_PBOBPVZGjbdqXh9oafVOEBV46GCQl7e4Pecwqk9fxWJYpfhRheJ/s320/Maggie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517229944469704674" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My card recipe:<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Image: Dress Up Maggie - Sugar Nellie<br />Coloured with Promarkers<br />Designer Papers: Bella Press<br />Cardstock: Coredinations<br />Ribbon, buttons and gems from stash<br />Lavendar Stickles<br />Tools: Cuttlebug; Nestabilities Labels One; Big Scalloped Circles and Daisies Embossing Folder<br />Sentiment: Kanban<br /><br />I can enter these challenges;<br /><a href="http://sugarbowlblog.blogspot.com/">The Sugar Bowl</a>: This is the sketch and the optional extra of using buttons<br /><a href="http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.com/">One Stop Craft Challenge</a>: Fashion Through The Years<br /><a href="http://fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/">Fab n Funky</a>: Photo Inspiration.

It's his birthday today, he's 11. He couldn't wait because he's wanted a PS3 for ages so he's been "saving up" for one! Every time he's managed to get a bit of money together he spent it on a new football or an X Box game but he should get off to a flying start today with birthday money. We'll see...<br /><br />I had to make this card in green, white and gold of course because they're Celtic colours. Another Lili of the Valley stamp for this card - I can't resist them. I'm going to have a look tonight and maybe treat myself to another couple. This wee man reminds me of Jack, he might not be the fastest but he's got a lethal right foot. I can just see that ball going right in the top corner!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZo-8vVsR5rqSsGghrBRTOUJBQDr0PYCSsyzD3z49m5AEAExkMmkDPXvt6kzUN2TW_ziA57cb7u24Chj6sXIbkgF4Q7M44pcEUhHvnS7TkM_-80b15CxRpzyMGb2RqISSCzHfBSzQeCmkz/s1600/Happy+Birthday,+Jack.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZo-8vVsR5rqSsGghrBRTOUJBQDr0PYCSsyzD3z49m5AEAExkMmkDPXvt6kzUN2TW_ziA57cb7u24Chj6sXIbkgF4Q7M44pcEUhHvnS7TkM_-80b15CxRpzyMGb2RqISSCzHfBSzQeCmkz/s320/Happy+Birthday,+Jack.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510820351787026786" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My card recipe:<br />Image: LOTV - Football Crazy, coloured with Promarkers<br />DP: Bo Bunny - Kiwi Double Dot<br />Cardstock: WH Smith Gold Metallic Card<br />Football, Boots and Ribbon from stash<br />Sentiment: computer generated<br />Tools: Cuttlebug and Nestabilities Circles<br /><br />I can enter these challenges:<br /><a href="http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">LOTV</a>: Go Dotty For Circles<br /><a href="http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/">CRAFT</a>: Milestones/Birthdays<br /><a href="http://totallypapercrafts.blogspot.com/">Totally Papercrafts</a>: Keep it Plain and Simple<br /><a href="http://sundaysketchandstamp.blogspot.com/">Sunday Sketch and Stamp</a> - The Sketch<br /><br />I'm off to see Jack now.

I got myself a new Doo Hickey this week. I wondered what on earth it was when I first saw the name. I swithered about buying it for ages because I wasn't quite sure what to do with it and then I bit the bullet and ordered it from the Glitter Pot. I could just go mad in that shop, but I have to say I was very disciplined. A Doo Hickey I was looking for and a Doo Hickey I ordered. It's a die cutting thingy by Magnolia and you can use it in your Cuttlebug (or Wizard or whatever), just in case you didn't already know. It end effect is like a punch isn't it, but I like it because it's much easier to use. I've got rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and I find punches quite hard to use sometimes so this little thingie was ideal. I just ran it through the Bug and Bob's your uncle as they say. Anyway, here's the result. The design is supposed to match some of Tilda's dresses so that's an added bonus.<br /><br />I've given you a few views of the card so you can see what I've been up to.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0F8PHev-OLZgdm8Lle-rCz9Ae3SVwRw4kjX1iadXMNMN2deoB_6vWymRYqlO_7c7DHQqqLnF4hzV4FDkhH2QzfppWpX0JiZlWDxtL_1vXAMT1OcoeXu3at2Tzv50EaK-HquUa4yKDN7_6/s1600/Dancing+Tilda+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0F8PHev-OLZgdm8Lle-rCz9Ae3SVwRw4kjX1iadXMNMN2deoB_6vWymRYqlO_7c7DHQqqLnF4hzV4FDkhH2QzfppWpX0JiZlWDxtL_1vXAMT1OcoeXu3at2Tzv50EaK-HquUa4yKDN7_6/s320/Dancing+Tilda+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506478961776384242" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgeqR_zozNAGlcoo-bhZ6srpSLBgYKp_FSur6ja8Rlbw-JMUoIRlr3iqig4DtOV6f-dsXUT7bdnAe52blwiKBqdBoQ6wGpMyZst41hX8IPtLeVyY_BBXsJVX7tyePROvZxDVQ1g59OQwKx/s1600/Dancing+Tilda+3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 313px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgeqR_zozNAGlcoo-bhZ6srpSLBgYKp_FSur6ja8Rlbw-JMUoIRlr3iqig4DtOV6f-dsXUT7bdnAe52blwiKBqdBoQ6wGpMyZst41hX8IPtLeVyY_BBXsJVX7tyePROvZxDVQ1g59OQwKx/s320/Dancing+Tilda+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506479209382902530" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJUw6a5LvDnbAHUWjGw12XsQTOIvN5S-Sn1U5BecQTd_-TnYkbN9QGIsi-Uc4GwWdFOwRSwovw_eNmJ3wk2_EnLIQBbOSKp3_TsCizpY3p4-xmqdtfTEj3skvnL6fhMbQK8i1eQJoPBvgV/s1600/Dancing+Tilda+4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJUw6a5LvDnbAHUWjGw12XsQTOIvN5S-Sn1U5BecQTd_-TnYkbN9QGIsi-Uc4GwWdFOwRSwovw_eNmJ3wk2_EnLIQBbOSKp3_TsCizpY3p4-xmqdtfTEj3skvnL6fhMbQK8i1eQJoPBvgV/s320/Dancing+Tilda+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506479520492025650" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My card recipe:<br /><br />Image: Dancing Tilda by Magnolia<br />Coloured with Inktense Pencils<br />DP's: Somebunny Loves You by Magnolia - Vintage Yellow Quilt and Daffodil<br />Cardstock: Coredinations<br />Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts<br />Lace, Pins, Leaves and Gems from stash<br />Gold and Star Dust Stickles<br />Silver Glitter Glue<br />Tools: Cuttlebug, Labels Nine and Doo Hickey<br />Nellie Snellen Floral Punch<br />Sewing Machine<br /><br />I can enter this card for the following challenges:<br /><a href="http://justmagnolia.blogspot.com/">Just Magnolia</a>: The Sketch this week is by Dawny P<br /><a href="http://totallytilda.blogspot.com/">Totally Tilda</a> - Use Stitching on your project<br /><a href="http://thesecretcraftersaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge</a> - What Are Little Girls Made Of<br /><a href="http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/">Stamp Something</a> - Fairy Tales (what a lot of Tildas!)<br /><a href="http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/">Charisma Cardz</a> - Make an Easel Card<br /><a href="http://thecraftypad.blogspot.com/">The Crafty Pad </a>- Glitz and Glitter<br /><br />I think that's everything.

I've been a very bad blogger but here we are with the first Christmas card of the year. We've had some very mixed weather up here and it was quite cold at one point. Some people were even saying they had had their central heating on. It made me think summer doesn't last long and winter will soon be here - better make a start on the Christmas cards. Like I need an excuse! I always enjoy making Christmas cards more than any other type of cards.<br /><br />For want of a better name, I've called this card Christmas Angel. I know it's a stamp by Nellie Snellen for Kars but once I'd used it I couldn't find it again to check the name. You wouldn't believe the state of the area I work in. No one would believe Suzanne and I are mother and daughter - I drives her nuts. I've never seen a tidier crafter; it's not really normal, whereas I could never enter "What's on your workdesk Wednesday". Folk would think I'd messed things up for a laugh!<br /><br />I can't believe what a carry on I'm having with Mr Blooming Blogger tonight.

I have been to Scarborough, sunny Scarborough on this occasion but no further afield than that. I have been watching lots of fabulous football though, hence the lack of a card.<br /><br />I bought this stamp at a recent stamp fair. Whatever happened to unmounted stamps being cheaper? This stamp cost me £8.00. Can you believe that? However, because I absolutely love anything to do with the seaside I had to have it as soon as I saw it. Look at this pair, they look as happy as a couple of little of sandpipers. And another blue and yellow card as well!<br /><br />I wanted to make this look like they were among the sea and sand but I didn't have a bit of sandpaper for the beach and I think I've overdone the glitz a bit. Never mind, I like it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG-sY-sK8x7DhrmV6JQvN1E9AnYndZ1-A-dm3QubVnwFqWu2Jg-plllSyey6oLShb72h71r8WYCM2DkAPsgKvl-apBYJvyCOOHPBHeSPXkjQyYfb0ic3yJ2z6YTGFv7w4zIL9w5z_z_2_Q/s1600/Beach+House.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG-sY-sK8x7DhrmV6JQvN1E9AnYndZ1-A-dm3QubVnwFqWu2Jg-plllSyey6oLShb72h71r8WYCM2DkAPsgKvl-apBYJvyCOOHPBHeSPXkjQyYfb0ic3yJ2z6YTGFv7w4zIL9w5z_z_2_Q/s320/Beach+House.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487926636894078130" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />My card recipe:<br />Image: Beach Huts Friends by Stamposaurus (there are two - this is the large image)<br />Coloured with Promarkers<br />Papers: Nitwits Collections - Sandcastles<br />Cardstock: Coredinations<br />Embellishments: All from stash except the shells which are from the seashore<br />Gold Glammour Dust<br />Sentiment: Computer generated<br /><br />I didn't use any tools or anything on this card but I did layer the image 3 times to give it a bit of depth.

I just don't know where the time goes.<br /><br />This is a card I've made using an image that was given to Suzanne a long time ago by a lovely lady called Helen. Suzanne shared the images with me and I've used them very sparingly. I really like Anyas but I don't have any of my own so I'm careful what I do with them.<br /><br />I've made this one to fit quite a few challenges. I wasn't sure how the red and black was going to turn out but I quite like it now it's done.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQPR4QsTqGPZiyTjpLw4vL9mZPbv7FhchfyUkdXO_EmOQEXNEITkI5n9mYEXCpUE4EONOpfzsz92NtdzEqohLnqtFN-iviNL9Lz6JW_WVH7HVthgP1cd0L_hvOSZqWEb2Cv2fuMpJxfiA/s1600/Anya.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQPR4QsTqGPZiyTjpLw4vL9mZPbv7FhchfyUkdXO_EmOQEXNEITkI5n9mYEXCpUE4EONOpfzsz92NtdzEqohLnqtFN-iviNL9Lz6JW_WVH7HVthgP1cd0L_hvOSZqWEb2Cv2fuMpJxfiA/s320/Anya.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480134747833972402" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />A wee view of the flowers - black roses?!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKupic8S49bAzV8HOoyQU4YNDlyHAZ8nybrke1RihacHfiotj_7mcEkQYhyalViYfaV1I6YOpCKN0NqwEajbUD0EJQr8K9ppDBcqg2lHz7TQGuTm0FRqkhs5y0LtzVdhLhIBXJQJ2cMa_r/s1600/Anya+flowers.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 174px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKupic8S49bAzV8HOoyQU4YNDlyHAZ8nybrke1RihacHfiotj_7mcEkQYhyalViYfaV1I6YOpCKN0NqwEajbUD0EJQr8K9ppDBcqg2lHz7TQGuTm0FRqkhs5y0LtzVdhLhIBXJQJ2cMa_r/s320/Anya+flowers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480134261376850514" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My recipe:<br />Image: Anya -The Greeting Farm (sorry, I don't know which Anya it is)<br />Coloured with Promarkers<br />Papers: Bo Bunny<br />Cardstock: Coredinations<br />Flowers and lace: From stash<br />Gems and Pearls: Kanban<br />Martha Stewart Punch<br />Cuttlebug; Petite Scalloped Ovals Small; Petite Ovals Small<br />Glitter Glue<br />Sentiment: Dovecraft<br /><br />I can enter this card for these challenges:<br /><br /><a href="http://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/">Crafty Catz</a> - Red and Black<br /><a href="http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/">Charisma Cardz </a>- Flowers<br /><a href="http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/">Cupcake Crafts</a> - Dazzle Us<br /><a href="http://anyoneforanya.blogspot.com/">Anyone For Anya</a> - Hot Hot Hot<br /><a href="http://paperplaychallenges.blogspot.com/">PaperPlay Challenges</a> - Flowers and Sparkle<br /><br />I hope you like it.

It's a new challenge blog and it's their first week - 3D Cards Challenge. I haven't done a decoupage for ages - the theme is "Pets" and do you think I could find a decoupage with a pet on it anywhere? I had one with a polar bear on it which I was going to make into a Christmas card but Suzanne thought Christmas in May was going a bit far! I've bowed to pressure and done this one instead. It has a wee girl with some wee animals on it so I do hope it counts as pets. I haven't done a decoupage for ages; it took me quite a long time but I like it now it's finished. I really like blue and yellow, bright and breezy as a summer's day. I think it would be a lovely card for someone who's feeling a bit down, it would really cheer them up.

I have been trying to get my bedroom decorated so I haven't had much time for card making. Not that I've done much myself; Suzanne has been doing most of it for me with some help from Kim but the house is in such a blooming tip I can't find anything. I'm hoping to get it straightened out over the weekend. That's the football finished until the World Cup starts so I've no excuse - 32 days to go!!<br /><br />I made this card for Erin for her birthday but I couldn't put it on in case she saw it. It was a coo's tail job as usual - last minute. It was her birthday on Saturday so I had to get up early to make the card. Now, normally I'm late I know, but not that late, so naturally, if anything could go wrong with this card, it did. More haste, less speed. Anyway, here it is. I used the beautiful Willow Dressing Up - it suits Erin perfectly, new shoes and frock and she's in heaven.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIn8581yMWS3u2X7xDaLLxX2XLX1mnl_LQNyQ9OjKNrFJ4z_-zKRKr1BqTXNe48RS-QesCu2QEMc5CZr792XgTKli52JqpTjPOw3At2_WADdzee4l_iqUB-sDGv9qpNZ030RQ6LS2_PS3l/s1600/Willow+4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIn8581yMWS3u2X7xDaLLxX2XLX1mnl_LQNyQ9OjKNrFJ4z_-zKRKr1BqTXNe48RS-QesCu2QEMc5CZr792XgTKli52JqpTjPOw3At2_WADdzee4l_iqUB-sDGv9qpNZ030RQ6LS2_PS3l/s320/Willow+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469742110414110274" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA-PTMsaq66Elzn0aeljqYIkPW8E_r5bXKU-S3kExdpXFKB_wO6TLrIHAKOJv8XeRYQ01gs8jzLjfpvhCDSJ2YujpTMlnzy4JcZLiLFGVORTwkJik372BJTTd2smyQrxWYj0I8mzkOi97T/s1600/Willow+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA-PTMsaq66Elzn0aeljqYIkPW8E_r5bXKU-S3kExdpXFKB_wO6TLrIHAKOJv8XeRYQ01gs8jzLjfpvhCDSJ2YujpTMlnzy4JcZLiLFGVORTwkJik372BJTTd2smyQrxWYj0I8mzkOi97T/s320/Willow+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469740430548607442" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4-SK1JbfiOEBCR9dA7vBXHlUezBJROPZEqalrfrS8qdE_XmMOD9Csm2wWrH646df9_HN8nYD2KOQNP-l_Wd57bcVhDKwInEW0fRbv-1y-BmnN-v3rKN_fRFHgi_cg0uZDnSQwkE-nPYPG/s1600/Willow+3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4-SK1JbfiOEBCR9dA7vBXHlUezBJROPZEqalrfrS8qdE_XmMOD9Csm2wWrH646df9_HN8nYD2KOQNP-l_Wd57bcVhDKwInEW0fRbv-1y-BmnN-v3rKN_fRFHgi_cg0uZDnSQwkE-nPYPG/s320/Willow+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469740692150369042" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2xlQXLW-GESANUNvyEiFzA80VLdPSrPONQuaoJ2ZK-6GY8di70xtPOOc2e-1zDJYvrJVix4vxUokXYL0VoDNE5YAzNk9jBPfntMlgMXiR_vPB1MmJlyUS1UXSQ9ndFW_qClnJv_jhd4uc/s1600/Willow+5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2xlQXLW-GESANUNvyEiFzA80VLdPSrPONQuaoJ2ZK-6GY8di70xtPOOc2e-1zDJYvrJVix4vxUokXYL0VoDNE5YAzNk9jBPfntMlgMXiR_vPB1MmJlyUS1UXSQ9ndFW_qClnJv_jhd4uc/s320/Willow+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469740899420849858" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My card recipe:<br />Image: Willow Dressing Up - Whiff of Joy<br />Coloured with Distress Inks<br />DP: Once Upon A Dream - Best Creations Inc<br />Cardstock: Coredinations<br />Sentiment: Hampton Art<br />Ribbon: Anitas<br />Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts<br />Buckle: Paper Mill<br />Glitter Glue from stash<br />Tools:<br />Cuttlebug<br />Petit Ovals Small<br />Petit Ovals Scalloped Ovals Small<br />MS Punch<br /><br />I can enter this card for these challenges:<br /><a href="http://wojmondaychallenge.blogspot.com/">Whiff of Joy</a> - The sketch (thanks, it was lovely)<br /><a href="http://totallygorjuss.blogspot.com/">Totally Gorjuss</a> - Green and Pink<br /><a href="http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/">C.R.A.F.T.

I thought I'd get some cards made but I've been a right old couch potato so this is the sum total of everything I've done. One measly card.<br /><br />I would have liked to have put a charm on this but do you think I had a wellie or an umbrella or anything to do with the rain? No. We even went to Livingston to see if they had one there but there was only a muckle great big thing and that would never do for Tilda. So here's the card, without a charm.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjJQZmMyXdc9IxzIhWW2LUa9CsXNdgOur3LEyJiO8tAmDyQMWMK1qmcO1ljMlhyhREUcOeYxQ9ACvtgn6fHfkOsHQVY6V4i_hvhuvNfDLnVcazpBa1nP_qF2iy8oc4rim3Yg0pBzjxE2Qg/s1600/2010+04+19_0586_edited-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjJQZmMyXdc9IxzIhWW2LUa9CsXNdgOur3LEyJiO8tAmDyQMWMK1qmcO1ljMlhyhREUcOeYxQ9ACvtgn6fHfkOsHQVY6V4i_hvhuvNfDLnVcazpBa1nP_qF2iy8oc4rim3Yg0pBzjxE2Qg/s320/2010+04+19_0586_edited-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461807229636944194" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My recipe:<br />Image: Tilda in Spring Rain by Magnolia<br />Coloured with Promarkers<br />Papers: Baby Shower Umbrellas by Probo Craft<br />Cardstock: Coredinations<br />Flowers: Prima<br />Brad and Twinklets: The Hobby House<br />Flower Centre: Prima<br />Ribbon from Stash<br />Silver Stickles<br />Tools: Cuttlebug and Bubbles Embossing folder<br />Sentiment: Computer Generated<br /><br />I can enter the following challenges with this card:<br /><a href="http://fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/">Fab n Funky</a> which is "No Longer Neglected".

This card is for my sister who gave me a lovely present recently. She's just moved house so I'll make her a New Home card as well but first things first so this one is to say thank you for the present. We went to our Perth craft shop recently, hadn't been there for ages, and they had got loads of new Magnolia stuff in. Don't you just love these little red flowers - of course we had to have some and all in different colours to match the papers.

I'm watching wee Steven while Suzanne takes Jack to a hospital appointment and he's hooked on Fireman Sam so I've got five minutes before he demolishes the living room!<br /><br />I've made this card for Suzanne for her birthday and since it has punches on it, plenty of sparkle and is nearly all shades of blue, I can enter it for the Just Magnolia, PaperPlay and Cute Card Thursday Challenges this week. I love this Tilda - I think she looks like she's running around in her pyjamas.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl0sBgvlH5oZoqwPnOp8GDEsOCUmqrNggAGiHt6yJ1Q7d43mfisB6XWfAtdzZuzp7bqP-u83pTXZ-TXkH1QDbq5kYj7avFryg6CCTXLGPPtA_Z4JnwIQf9qFEZ1jCtR4YN2oTY90sJRvji/s1600/2010+04+06_0527.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl0sBgvlH5oZoqwPnOp8GDEsOCUmqrNggAGiHt6yJ1Q7d43mfisB6XWfAtdzZuzp7bqP-u83pTXZ-TXkH1QDbq5kYj7avFryg6CCTXLGPPtA_Z4JnwIQf9qFEZ1jCtR4YN2oTY90sJRvji/s320/2010+04+06_0527.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458071505496511138" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My card recipe:<br />Image: Happy Tilda by Magnolia<br />Coloured with Distress Inks<br />DP's: Magnolia<br />Cardstock: Coredinations<br />Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts<br />Tools:<br />Cuttlebug and Petite Ovals<br />Martha Stewart Punch Around the Edge Punch (I only used the border one)<br />Lots of glitter glue on the flowers and around Tilda's clothes<br />Sentiment: Kanban<br />Verse: Internet<br /><br />I can enter the <a href="http://justmagnolia.blogspot.com/">Just Magnolia Challenge</a> which is Punch It Out , <a href="http://paperplaychallenges.blogspot.com/">PaperPlay </a>which is Gloss, Shimmer or Sparkle and <a href="http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/">Cute Card Thursday </a>which is Monochrome Mania.<br /><br />Hope you like it.
