Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! We had a great day, lovely dinner with family and the boys were delighted with their gifts. Then since boxing Day I've had a rotten cold - at least I didn't have to worry about going to work. bit better today so hope that I can see the New Year in sniffle free.  Thought I would share with you the last Christmas card I made. I had planned to make lots using this set but due to a wee mix up with Create and Craft they arrived far too late. Maybe next year! Anyway these are from Clarity Stamps and I was really pleased with the end result

Today I managed to make my last journal page for the He-art Journalling project with the Greeting Farm. Now I need to bind all the pages together. This week had to be a page about yourself.  I used one of my favourite Simply Sassy stamps and lots of shades of greens (my favourite colour).  Had to add a wee bit of sparkle too of course.

The background was made using Distress Inks and the image is coloured with Flexmarkers and Promarkers. Even the journalling is Emerald Promarker using a fine nib.

Here's a closer look at the image

My hubby bought me the whole range of Flexmarkers for Christmas and even built me a box to store them. It is the smaller of the two boxes, the other houses my Promarkers and yes, he made that too!

Second post today

My last Christmas card using Pippi, wish it was the last card I have to make but I need tons more!!!!!! The snow is falling steadily here and it's freezing out. Perfect night for staying indoors crafting and watching X-Factor!! Anyway, here is my card

I made a big boo-boo when stamping the sentiment on the image so had to improvise and cover it up with some torn, distressed paper. Hope it doesn't look like too obvious a cover up!

I used shimmer paint on her wings but I don't think the camera picks up sparkle very well. Here's a closer look

I am entering this card into the following challenges

thanks for visiting, hope the snows stops soon or it won't be a pleasant journey to work tomorrow!!

I apologise if you are bored of Pippi Longsocks now but I had stamped out a few of her to make some Christmas cards. I promise to use a difference image next time :0)  I have enjoyed trying different colour schemes with her and even tried red hair on one of these.
Here is the first one
