Sugar Nellie Gift

Evening! The time is flying by! I'd like to buy another couple of days please:) Mostly I'm done though, just wrapping to do, and a couple more cards to handout that I didn't need to get done for last post today! I made this card and candle for a gift for Christmas, well I made several of the candles actually, this Sugar Nellie 'Poinsetta Girl' stamp by Leanne Ellis-which you can gethere, has been my most used Christmas stamp this year for cards and on gifts-the size is just perfect for tall altar candles. I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing this sweetie again because she can be used for so many other occasions!

Stuff: Sugar Nellie stamp by Leanne Ellis 'Poinsetta Girl' available to buy here, copics to colour, cosmo cricket jolly by golly paper from here,sewing machine, tulle available here, bling from stash, snowflake punch,spotty ribbon from stash, nesties, cuttlebug, stickles in stardust which you can grab here, sentiment by hero arts.

I'm going to enter this over at Creative Card Crew who has an open theme. Off to do finish up those cards! Enjoy your evening and thanks for stopping by:) xxx

Fa La La La La

Evening all! Where are the days going?! Am sorry for not being about since Wednesday but tis crazy here, not only with the general seasonal stuff but with the moving house stuff. The moving house will hopefully be on the 21st, week today even! The only thing holding stuff up is getting the electric and water on and all that as its a new house. So is everyone all carded out yet?! I think I have enough, but still haven't counted (shall have to write them this week though!). I kinda daren't look, so I'm just keeping it going just incase! Anyways....

A bit over a week ago I won some stuff over at the Cosmo Cricket blog, $100 worth of stuff to be exact! It came Saturday and I was just so excited when I saw it all! I got so much! I got jolly by golly 12 x 12 paper kit, 12 x 12 earth love kit, 12 x 12 nutmeg kit, 12 x 12 early bird kit, 2 packs of ribbon, 6 x 6 nutmeg paper pad, 5 sheets of 12 x 12 chipboard shapes, 2 packs of ribbon and some stickers. How cool is that!!!

So I had to use more jolly by golly paper (my little 6 x 6 pad had almost run out!), and I used this adorable Sugar Nellie stamp by Leanne Ellis called 'Skating Annie' which you can buy here. I do love my Annie stamps! The cool thing about the majority of the Sugar Nellie Christmas stamps are that there are very few that are specific to Christmas, most you can use all year round!

Stuff: Sugar Nellie 'skating Annie' available to buy here, copics to colour, cosmo cricket jolly by golly paper available here (10% off!), flowersoft in polar white, crackle accents for ice (bottom of image), bling, twine, snowflake punch, text from paper kit, sewing machine, paperartsy stamp (holly swirls around image), distress inks in frayed burlap and antique linen.

Here's a close up of Annie:~

I'm going to enter this at Everybody Art whose theme is red and green, and Sophisticats who have an open Christmas theme. Well that's it from me tonight! I will be back though much more this week as I have stuff I've made that I haven't posted yet! Thanks for popping by and for any comments you might leave, they mean a lot:) xxx

Friday Sketchers and Cute Card Thursday

My dad wanted me to make a card for his sister-in-law's 60th next month so I've used the sketch over at Friday Sketchers which is another cracker. Will defo be using this again. Am also going to use this for Cute Card Thursday which asks for Letters and/or Numbers this week. I wanted to make a classy card that isn't 'old' because 60 is so not old now is it and she definetly looks great so this is what I came up with?! I used my new goodies that Steph sent me that I won which are gorgeous colours and another Leanne Ellis stamp. I love this one, it's very versatile isn't it. So this is what I used....

Materials: Leanne Ellis stamp for Sugar Nellie, Cloud9 papers, Prima flowers, core'dinations cardstock, cricut for numbers, BoBunny ribbon, brads from stash.
