Hi there blog friends, I do hope you are all well and not full of bugs and lurgies!! We have had a beautiful sunny day here although it was a tad cold but I am definitely not complaining. This is one of the cards I made last week and there is a shed load of glitter on there but you can't see it in the pic! The trees were sprayed (rather gently) with gold glitter spray and they look really good (self-praise is no recommendation - yup I know) but they do!!
I lurve this stamp loads and it is the one I won from Linda (Creative Harmony) when she did her challenge for a white on white card with just a little added colour. Aren't these little pussycats cute?
Before I go any further I must tell you I'm on book 3 of the 50 Shades trilogy and I have to admit this is a bit more exciting - although I'm at a loss as to where they get their energy from!! They are ALWAYS 'busy'!!! I usually read two or three chapters before I go to sleep - then as soon as my head hits the pillow .... I'm out like a light! Poor hubby!!! LOL. Other books don't normally have this effect so it's obviously tiring me out more than the two in the book!
Anyway I hope you like this one, I'll put the ingredients below - well as many as I can remember! I've loved seeing all your Christmas cards and am always amazed at the talent you all possess. I've tried to catch up with some of the blogs out there but have not managed them all ..... yet!
Ingredients
6 x 6" card blank
Kraft card
Core-dinations Whitewash Collection card
Papers - Craft Creations Ltd
Image - Fur Cones from LOTV

Hope the rest of the week goes well for you - fingers crossed! I am now going to see if I can 'Schedule' this post for tomorrow morning - you might be thinking when you read it that I have managed to get up early - as if!!! Then again I might have forgotten by the time I have finished 'tryping'.
Loads of big hugs to you!!!
SUE

This is so gorgeous, really full of loveliness. Love all the glitter and sparkle and those pussy cats are too darn cute. I have the trilogy but haven't started it yet. I must have owned it about four months!!! I glad it is the book reading tiring you out and not that you have got ideas from the book. Lol!!!

Hi Susie . . . lovely furry Christmas make!
ReplyDeleteI only read the first 50 Shades book and that was enough for me, although others have told me the rest of the, er, plot (such as there is!).

ReplyDeleteFabulous card Sue and I love the poinsettias and trees. Haven't read any of them - think I'll give them a miss!! love from Christine x
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, thank you for entering this gorgeous card into the Lisa B Designs blog challenge. I love the image & the trees are great.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeletefabulous card. Love the image sooooooo sweet. Superb trees and poinsettias.
Our friend Sue said to tell you can you move that darn scaffolding, as it's getting in the way. lol. Mine is up and waiting for Michael Angelo ak Sue P to paint mine. Have managed to get enough pillows now. The only prob is there is this darn door stop in the way of one of the legs of the scaffolding. I don't know where it came from, but I think somebody didn't have any breakfast that day. lol.
Give pidgy a peck for me.
Have a wonderful crafty evening.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! I love these kittens and you've done a beautiful job at colouring them. The glittery sparkle looks gorgeous, though I am sure it looks so much more stunning in real life.
