‘Q’ for ,,,,, Quilting !! :-)

Hi all :-) did you know that it is only 124 days till Santa comes ?? not long is it !! I don’t know how many cards I have ready but the box is looking pretty full so am feeling quite chuffed :-) Being on a Christmas challenge DT has alot of bonuses :-)

this week it is the lovely Helen’s turn to choose the theme ,,,

Q for Quilting !

now there were a few groans when this idea was first suggested but I must admit I really enjoyed this one :-)

We have 2 fabulous sponsors :-

The lovely peeps over at LOTV who will be giving one lucky entrant a £10 voucher to the store ,,

and we also have the fabulous Crop Stop who will be giving a $15 voucher to their store too !! :-)

Lovely prizes eh !! I wish I could join in ,,,,, :-)

For my card I used one of the New Released Xmas Bella stamps from the Wild Rose Studio, this one is called Bella on Bauble, isn’t she CUTE !

When I saw this stamp I thought she could have alot of fun on this so I made it like it was a monkey rope swinging from a snowflake ,,,, what else !! :-)

Bella close up, I must say I do love the glittery bauble :-)

I really like these smaller easel cards, am not sure if there is a name for them ?? They are lighter to post and fit in an envelope more easily which is an important factor for me especially on Xmas cards when I have to post so many abroad :-)

Thanks for looking :-) we have some fabulously talented GD’s joining us and the super talented DT have all made some cracking cards to show you so please hop along to the ABC Christmas Challenge to see them :-)

I decided to make a little emergency sewing box for Amy to take with her when she goes back to Uni :-)

I have had this SU tin for ages, it was full of hardware, but I emptied it out, sanded it down and decorated it :-)

Tear It on the LIM Challenge

Good Morning all :-) I hope you’re all fit and well and enjoying a good start to your weekend :-)

I was up bright and early so I thought I would sit down and make a CAS card for the Less Is More Challenge and become a ‘proper’ Limette by trying to enter every week ,,,,, :-)

This week Mandi and Chrissie are asking us to use tearing on our cards, I tore a few bits of Washi tape :-) ,, LOVE this stuff !

The script tape is from Tim Holtz and the other 2 were in the Monthly Card Kits from Simon Says Stamp. I had a fab parcel yesterday and in it was this fab n funky Retro Squares die from MFT so I had to use it ! The spotty paper was also in the parcel, it's from a Classic pack from Fabscraps,, I have been wanting this since I saw it at the CHA and it is so popular it was always out of stock !

I finished with a sentiment from Hero Arts and a few little red gems :-) I am quite happy with how this turned out ,, do you like it ? I appreciate your comments ,, the good and the bad so please be honest :-)

BTW, do you have a Silhouette Machine ?? I found a fab deal on the downloads yesterday, pay $18 ( + a 25% discount on that )for $30 image download voucher !! ,, I bought 2 ! what a fab deal,,, for more details click HERE :-)
