Hi there it is July already and I cannot believe how fast the year has flown !! Just to mess with your heads I have made a Christmas card today..... only 177 days until Christmas (I'll probably have four done by then...)

Merry Christmas !
I find it really ironic that I make cards and whenever I have any spare time.... I love to get in my craft room BUT sometimes I actually buy cards (terrible I know.) I am going to REALLY TRY to devote set time to actually getting in the craft room, join in challenges, visit (and comment) on my friends blogs in 2018 :)
I received a Christmas card from my lovely cousin today and I laughed to myself when I thought I didn't actually have a Christmas card to send her! So after waving off my son to South America today I spent the rest of the day in my happy place.
I have dug out my alcohol inks and let me tell you they really are addictive! I didn't have any YUPO paper which is supposed to be the paper to use nor did I have any Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink White paper I can't tell you which is better as I just used my standard glossy paper and it worked a treat. I am going to buy some and I'll let you know. I did add some mixatives, the gold and silver and I just adore the effect it created.
I trimmed my A4 sheets into 1/4 and just played and played and played. I tried a few different combinations and have lots of backgrounds to create with.
I loved the one I have used today, It has a very Chrismassy feel to it. I grabbed my lovely MFT die from last year and it was perfect as it didn't use too much of the gorgeous background. MFT have designed a couple more in the same theme and they are definitely on my wish list.
Anyway head on over to Scrapbook Boutique and checkout all the details on this card along with products used to purchase.

May all of your Christmases be white
Hi there,
The older you get the quicker the years fly by! I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone. It a little over a month it will be Christmas. I am a little organised this year, I don't make a lot of Christmas cards and those who receive the handmade ones truly appreciate them. I have used the faux letterpress technique with this card using the Kaiscraft Petals embossing folder. Scrapbook Boutique will have all the products used along with the details on this card. Have a go and join in our challenge, there is 10 days left :)

Here is my take on the challenge.
Here is my take on the challenge.
This Christmas Die is just magical! Actually I think it will be silly to just pigeon hole it just for Christmas. It could be used for so many other projects. I decided to fill in a few the pieces and I love the effect. How gorgeous is the wrapped star???? I just fell in love with this as soon as I got my hot little hands on it!!
Hope you are getting on with the planning your festive season :)
anyway head on over to Ann's beautiful blog and I look forward to seeing your inspired contributions for this challenge ♥

Muse #233
hmmmm 14 week until Christmas.............. I have one friend that is really good with Christmas cards. She makes them and they are stunning, creative and colourful. I make one card a year now (blush) and she is the recipient of that card!!! BUT this year I plan to make a few cards ( yeah yeah I know I am full of talk)
The first card of the season is using the Stampin' Up Merriest Tag Framelits and SU Merriest Wishes stamps. What a cute set this is I love it. I have also found an old MFT Christmas stamp set during a cleanup and thought it worked perfectly with the bauble. I am joining in with the Muse challenge this week, love Tracey's CAS card getting me started on the road to being organised!
stamps: SU Merriest Wishes, MFT Seasonal Sentiments
Die: SU Merriest Wishes framelit Dies

5 more sleeps until Santa visits :)
Funny story about this card...... I made the "bauble' with the Ranger white enamel dots and they were PERFECT!!! I was jumping up and down and patting myself on the back at how AWESOME I was!! Then I placed my handiwork on the table to dry and accidentally put something over the top and it all stuck to it arggghhh I did it again, but this time I used pearls as well to give it some texture.
No Dramas all done and then once I had taken a pic, the bow was a little loose, so I grabbed my trusty glossy accents to adhere that sucker good! I gave the top a little tug and the WHOLE bottle spilled over the top of the card...... just wasn't meant to be :) Anyway head on over to Scrapbook Boutique to purchase all the product used and see instructions too.
