Oh Christmas Tree...Oh Christmas Tree

Fa..lalala..la..lalala!
Festive greetings to you all!
The tree's up, tinselled n' baubled til' you can't see anything left of the tree, fairy lights untangled & hanging in every room & outside too.
Yesterday we went to London for the day, a trip to M&M World which was on Oliver's Xmas wish-list, a 5 second visit to Hamleys Toy store (it was so busy, we walked in and straight out again!) and a mosey round the shops for my shop-a-holic daughter Sophie and then finished it off with a lovely meal & a walk round Covent Garden.
There was a 'String' band entertaining the crowds with beautiful music & crazy dancing when all of a sudden the Double-Bass player told us all to be quiet. There was one woman in amongst the whole crowd, who were singing, clapping & laughing along, who was on her mobile phone and she hadn't realised that everything had stopped & only she could be heard talking. There must have a been a couple of hundred people watching the entertainment, suddenly all quiet, listening to this poor woman on her phone still totally oblivious to what was going on her around her. We were all then signalled to point & boo at her, cruel I know...but hilarious!!!
Chrissy card's nearly all done now...phew! This one is Seasonal House on a Hill from Squigglefly ( 5 Seasonal House stamps), coloured with Promarkers & glitter. Papers from the Papermania Festive Frolics collection which I lurv!! Trees cut from the same papers, a lime, sparkly ribbon & snowflake embellie.
Have a good week everyone!

Hard to Make Cards...

These are 3 bereavement cards that I've sadly had to make just recently.
This is simply a gorgeous peel-off scene on an alcohol-ink based background.


This one is a gorgeous digi called Button Flower Bag from Sassy Cheryl coloured with Promarkers, papers from the First Edition Hideaway collection, die-cut rings using spellbinders, paper-punched dots, LOTV sentiment & flower gems.


And finally...an embossed framed card with a Craftwork Cards Botanical paper centre and a Kaisercraft rub-on sentiment.

Spot the Snowflake Competition

Yes...competition time!
It's a tricky one, it'll take a sniffer dog, magnifying glass & a whole squad of top detectives to 'Spot The Snowflake'
There's no prize...no I'm way too tight...but I promise not to sing anymore Xmas tunes for a whole day!
There's more glitter than you can shake a stick at on this card. Red glitter paper background, the white, glitter snowflake (if you can find it) is an old Xmas tree decoration and the stamp was a freebie off a magazine coloured with Promarkers.

Tea for Two

Wotcha!
No singing from me today after complaints of 'bleeding ears' and 'howling dogs'!!
Straight onto my card as I have a free day & wanna cram in so much.
I've used the cute 'Coffee Break' stamp from LOTV, coloured with Promarkers, papers from the Basic Grey Eva collection, ribbon, flower & brad centre from my stash and glitter outlining to finish.
