Look who turned up on my doorstep

WOOHOO Tilda has arrived.
She took so long I think she walked all the way from Sweden!! At least she arrived in time for Christmas, isn't she great? I am planning on making one or 2 cards with these so I'll let you see when I have done ...

Beaded Holly Card

Carrying on the simple theme I have made a holly one too. I love making these beaded things, they are fidley but fun to do.

That Rudolph Inchie

Remember the Rudolph inchie I made for Wednesday stampers? I made it into a card. Just a really simple card. Too simple do you think?





Just noticed Rudolph looks like he has been at the sherry lol.

Dragonfly Dominos

I took part in a domino swap over on Auntys. There was a choice of themes, Christmas, wings or animals or all 3. We had to use 3 domino's.


I decided on the wings theme. The wings are cherry pie stamps coloured with imitation twinkling h2o's. The small domino has a string of beads attached with Anita's glossy gloop. (one day I will remember it's real name!) The big beads are sooo pretty in real life really sparkly pink and yellow like fruit salad sweets .... not that they sparkled but you know what I mean.

These were sent to Crissi. Thanks for taking the pic Crissi *thumbs up*

Daring Card Makers - Christmas Trees

"O Christmas Tree. O Christmas Tree"
Want to guess what needs to be featured on your cards this week? Yes, we want to see lots and lots of Christmas Trees

That's what it said over at Daring Card Makers ... ... ooh look a card with a christmas tree on. Fancy that!

Hope you like.

Just editing to add a close up ...

Wednesday Stamper Challenge - Inchies

The challenge at Wednesday stamper was quite simple ... make and inchie ... so I did, lol.

The stamp stamp is stamped (are you following? lol) onto something called 'almost leather' you heat it up with your heat gun then stamp into it while it is still hot.



So now I have a handy leather look reindeer inchy. :-/

Arty Girlz Challenge - 3 Glueless

Love the title of this one "glueless" pmsl

Here's the brief from The Arty Girlz ...

"This weeks challenge is 'glueless' in other words we'd like you to use another medium other than your usual pva's, glue sticks and double sided tape on your project."

Well here is my creation with not a single bit of stickyness. The beads are sewn, the matting has slits cut for photo corners.

I actually started this ATC for tmta challenge when they said to make something that makes you smile. But I haven't been in blog land for so long I have well and truly missed the deadline. I wasn't going to finish it but when this challenge came along I thought is fitted the bill.

Just realised the scan has chopped the bottom off. You will just have to imagine there is a bit of navy blue along the bottom, lol.

Hope you like it, feel free to leave a comment :-)
