Sugar Nellie DT meets Sketch Saturday

Evening all:) How we all doing? I'm not too bad, am having some back problems right now or at least worse than usual and am waiting on an appointment for another MRI scan but eh, I'll live! Anyways crafting is a happy distraction and have been playing with another of the Sugar Nellie Country Cousins Christmas stamps, I love this little chap-off posting his rather long list to Santa:)

For the layout I've used the fab sketch over at Sketch Saturday, it's been too long since I've joined in over there! Am also entering this card at: Cupcake Craft Challenges (buttons and stitching), and Everybody Art (shapes or punches). All the papers are the from the Cosmo Cricket jolly by golly paper pad, have added some little twinkly highlights here and there with some Shimmerz in pixie dust. Love that stuff! You just paint it right on, not messy at all and dries really quick. Decided it was high time I got my snowflake punches out, wish I could tell you the brand but I've no clue am afraid, I also added shimmerz to the punched snowflakes too, and popped some bling in the centre:)

Stuff: Sugar Nellie Country Cousins stamp available here, copics to colour, shimmerz bling in pixie dust here, buttons and raffia lace from Quixotic Paperie, Cosmo Cricket jolly by golly papers, SU cardstock in chocolate chip and sentiments by SU from Zoe, sewing machine

Here's a little close-up:~

Thanks for popping by and any comments you may leave-love reading them! I'm off to have some dinner and then watch the Twilight film (have finished the first book now!), might have to have some more crafty time later though as Katrina's blog candy arrived today that I won and it's so fab!!! Thanks hunny-hope you're feeling better! See yas soon xxx

  6. Gorgeous, Ro! Love the vintage look you've achieved.

    Hope your back problems improve. My Mum has always had a lot of back problems, so I have some idea of how draining it can be. x

It helps me improve my coloring technique. :p Be careful with your back though...how else will you be able to grace us with these lovely artistic pieces if you're down. *smile* I'm selfish aren't I? :p
