Hi all :-) I hope you're all fit and well and ready to join in with a new theme over on the Papertake Weekly Challenge :-)

THANKS/THANKSGIVING :-)

We are sponsored by the lovely Mary and Andrea aka The Ribbon Girl so a fabulous prize on offer this week :-)

I needed to make a Thank You card so this was perfect timing :-)

I used a super cute House Mouse 'Amanda Writes' image and do you know her handwriting bears a striking resemblance to Kristina Werners !! Uncanny !! :-)

I kept this CAS and really like how this turned out, I hope the person who this is made for likes it too :-)

The twine was a candy win on America's Blog ,,,, THANKS AMERICA 

And Gail ,, yes I am keeping my tine drawer closed and making sure the kitties don't get in there ,,,, LOL, for those of you that don't know, one of my norty kitties pee'd in my twine drawer ,,, POOH !! I had to bin the whole lot :-( With the help on the candy win I have replaced most of it :-)

Paper Smooches Winter Bunny

Hi all :-) I am back from a fabulous mini break to Dublin, Ireland with my 'oldest' friend, Sarah, we had a brilliant time visiting the sights and tasting a few pints of Guinness along the way ,, well ,, it would have been rude not to eh !! :-)

If you ever go I would definitely recommend the open top bus tours,,, what a laugh we had on those ,,, the drivers are born comedians and we were in stitches the whole way around :-) We also went on a night time Ghost Bus Tour ,, that was fabulous and a good laugh too,,, not overly scarey :-)

Here we are at the Guinness Storehouse where we both have a certificate for pulling the perfect pint !! haha, I am the one on the left.

Anyways ,,, onto my card :-)

I love this little Winter Bunny from Lawn Fawn, I used him quite a bit for last years cards but not I have the matching die and it is FAB !  no more fussy cutting !! YAY !! I am seriously thinking of making a few more of this design ,, get a mass production line going :-)

I love the new falling Snow Stencil from Simon Says Stamp and in combination with the embossing paste the snowflakes look real and are lovely touchy feely too :-)

I am continuing to decorate envelopes to match ,, the Holiday Delivery Stamps and Die set are a must have item in your stash this year ,,,, just sayin' :-)

Thanks for looking and for your comments on my blog while I was away,, it was lovely to come back to read them :-)
