MISTLETOE AND KISSES



Hello Everyone...

New Years Eve is sneaking in, and I have a very busy day ahead fitting clients in before the 2 day break...

I've been staying at my daughters for the last couple of nights as her family have gone on a Scout camping trip and she does not like staying on her own...[personally, I encouraged my lot to go away and leave me in peace...] but we are all different I suppose.

So today is Monday....New Years Eve...and time to open up a new Linky Pary at...

MAKE IT MONDAY  as always anything goes, as long as you have used paper.

This week our Sponsor is Digi my World ...........

The team werre lucky enough to get some digis to play with and I chose this cute couple Mistletoe Kisses  ....



The couple were coloured with pencils then fussy cut out and on puff dots...

The sentiment came with the image...and the flowers are WOC.



The side view.....the papers from my scrap box...the little dress paper pieced with Tatty Teddy papers and the trousers with Kraft card and his shirt with scraps.

The tall white bobbly flowes were a bunch of fake flowers I found at the $2 dollar shop...and you guessed it..... I have pulled the whole bunch apart and ended up with a box full, of all sorts of flowers.

So there you go...all done and time for work shortly....really looking forward to getting back to normality...these odd days off and rushing around is getting to me...

So see you tomorrow...AND.....

FRAME IT WITH STAMPFAIRY - NEW RELEASE



Hello Everyone....

Christmas is definitely in the air, and I have been spoilt rotten with my clients this week, to the point of it [nearly] embarrassing...but wonderful at the same time..I have been so lucky and ever so grateful.

MIMI FRAMES 2..3..4...5..  [the numbers are the image numbers]



Close up no.2




Close up no.3



Close up no.4




Close up no.5

All images coloured with pencils...embellies from my stash....

So there is a little wall hanging, and could easily be pulled apart to make cards as they a topper sizes..

Thanks for stopping by...I'm pretty excited as my youngest Son, the one who wears obscene t/ shirts.. is coming home for Christmas tonight...we are all going to the airport to pick him up and welcome him home...he has been working down South helping the earthquake victims rebuild, and been gone for months, so it is going to be a great Christmas with us altogether again..

I'm worse than the G/kids...lol..

Coloured with pencils and copics, gingham bow and candies on the snowflakes.



Liquid pearls on his present and red flowers from WOC...



The side view...papers were MME 'Bountiful'

Another hard choice is picking my favourite from last week...but boiled it down to this card from JODI #130

ME!!! Another Sketch..



Hello Everyone....I'm back again...wow!!...five cards this weekend..

but, this time I'm here to support the Sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday  as Stampfairy is their sponsor this week....

Now I have never been good at following sketches as I wing my way through life, but I'm getting quite good at it now and sometimes I even get it just right...and sometimes I dont...this time I scraped through...by my twine..lol..

 
Heres the great sketch for this week...
 
 


And here is my card using BARRY WINTER 2   [and you can get him at half price till the 31st December]...pom poms on the Stampfairy tree which was fussy cut out...



Beautiful wee Barry, my favourite of all the Bears...all coloured up with pencils, and a cotton ball stretched across his hat for fur...his little birdhouse dripping with snow....



And the side view...papers were a freebie from a magazine ['Forever Friends']...and the twine saved my life as I had not followed the sketch...I wandered off the path and started doing my own thing...okay!...okay!...I added the holly paper behind Barry after it was all glued down too...tricky but true...

YAY!!! for the twine and holly paper...

Going to enter a challenge at Stampin for the weekend.  [Let it snow]
and C.R.A.F.T   [Winter]

Thanks for stopping by and all the fabulous comments you all leave, love reading everyone of them...and hope you all having a great weekend and already for the big day which is coming fast and furious....
