Thanks

Hi Everyone.

Did you enjoy christmas? I did! And i finally got my cuttlebug. I don't have many things to go with it yet, but i've had fun playing with the 3 embossing folders i do have. We were supposed to be going to my grandma and grandads house for chritsmas day like we always do, but we couldn't get there because of the snow, so we stayed at home. Luckily we had all the food so we had a nice meal, and grandma cooked them something nice too. We went to theirs yesterday instead for another xmas day so that was fun.

This card is a fairly simple 'Thanks' card, to say thanks for the christmas pressies. The papers are some i got as a present from mum, and i have no idea where the stamp is from!

I'm entering this in these challenges:

Winter Wonderland - Thankyou for the christmas gifts

CRAFT - Thankyou

Papertake Weekly - Thankyou

Creative Card Crew - Anything goes

Charismas Cards - Anything but christmas

Hiya

Sorry i've been such a bad blogger lately. Me mojo went on holiday and i think its finally returned...Yippeeee! I was getting scared because i've still got tonnes to make for christmas but now i can hopefully get on with it. and i finish school tomorow so will have more time, AND its snowing! Wuhooo!

Anyway...Onto my project. Its a candle i've made for someone, but i'm not sure who yet. The picture is from google images, and says 'Christmas Wishes' but i couldn't get it all on the piccy. I printed it onto tissue paper (never done that before), melted it into the candle, and then put holographic (?different colours everytime you look) glitter on some parts. I'm going to wrap it in cellophane with ribbon and a tag, but the glitter is still wet so i'll do that later.

Ribbon Tree

Hi everyone

I hope your all ok. I was meant to be going christmas shopping today with my cousin but she is ill so we couldn't go :( I've got lots of crafting done though. I havn't actually finished anything yet but have about 5 half done cards and 2 partly decorated boxes...i get bored of one thing so move onto another lol.

First i wanna say a massive thanks to the fab and amazingly talented mandy who sent me another load of images, flowers and a gorgeous christmas card. I had a nice lazy morning in front of the tele colouring in the images, so now have lots of cards to make. Now i'm going to copy her and show you a picture of my smelly cat, Morissa in christmas mode. She has the worst smelling breath ever so everyone calls her 'Smelly Cat' like in friends :)

(sorry about the minging carpet...mum's fault not mine!)

Now here is a ribbon tree i've made as an early christmas pressie for grandma and grandad. Loops of different ribbons pinned into a polystyrene cone with a pretty red rose on the top...simples! I'm entering it in the Die Cuts R Us challenge which is 'Lets See a Gift'

Thanks for looking x

4.choose 7 other bloggers to pass this award on to.

6.leave them a comment so to let them know about this award.

Interesting or not so interesting facts:

My favourite place is my craft desk. Its overflowing a bit though woops!

I have M.E. so only go to school for 1 ½ hours a day…Lots more crafty time though J

My favourite film (at the moment) is Keeping Mum. It is a comedy and is a bit weird but I like it and have watched it 3 times since Friday.

I HATE reading… apart from magazines (celeb and crafty). My brother and sister are both English geeks and are always reading but I’d rather watch a film instead – Much easier.

I’m obsessed with supermarkets value chocolate. Its like 30p for a bigish bar and tastes nicer than other makes.

I spend more time on DoCrafts than I do making cards.

I CAN’T WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS!!! I’m getting a cuttlebug…Wuhoooooo!

Christine
