Pinch, punch...

That's what my lovely hubby decided to do at precisely 6.20 a.m this morning - I tell you he was the one nearly punched - right in the mush!!! I can laugh now but I am really NOT a morning person - lol!!
Right - my mojo has returned and got a few cards made - thought I could blog them all tonight - but getting decent photo's is a nightmare - curse you low energy lightbulbs :-)

Before I get to the cards I'll show you how I am progressing with my cross-stitch - oh boy it it's testing my patience but I wont give up - my son will get it before he is 21!!


I think if I keep blogging my progress it will make me stick with it - hmm lets see if that psychology works!!

Okey doke, this is the Christmas card I have made for my mum - it's our 2nd Christmas without dad - so wanted to do something special - she has a thing for angels so I hope she likes what I have done here - she doesnt really like things too fussy either - so I hope she does:



The red paper is Basic Grey and I have die cut a scalloped circle and made the snowflake from a 12 x 12 sheet that was in a goody bag but not sure who's it is. I stamped the image from a stamp I got from ebay (I love her face) and the sentiment is possible a daisy & dandelion one.

I would like to enter this into the Circles challenge at Digi stamps 4 joy - you spin me round.

I loved doing this next card - after last week where everything I tried just looked a mess - this came together nicely:





I have used a cute Mo Manning freebie and coloured it with pro-markers and added sakura glitter pen to the leaf & whiskers. I have used Nesties label 1 to die cut the image and then matted it onto some turquoise card which was SU. Then used paper that I received from a giveaway at Millies Marvels which I have then matted onto some craft paper and added 3 different sized gems in the corner also in my lovely gift.
