Winter Bird Christmas Card

I used Winter Bird from The Doodle Garden for my Christmas card and created an extra few branches for my birdy to sit on using my Bird punch, which has been literally gathering dust as I haven’t used it it ages. I also used the punch poo from my snowflake border for the little stars.  I just love snow and this reminds me of all the wonderful holidays I have had at the snow. I remember that moment when for the first time I actually noticed a snowflake on my ski jacket and it looked like the snowflakes on Christmas cards I had received over the years and I realised that is how they really look…this was a more than 20years ago folks when I had lovely young eyes and could still see everything!

Sweet as Cherry Pie

This image reminds me of my girlfriend Tracey who makes amazing meals and especially desserts, so when I saw this image called Dotti Baking from Bugaboo Stamps I had to have it! I decided to make my own sentiment on the computer and I’m very pleased how it turned out.  I used my White Gel Pen to add tiny white dots to her dress and dimensional adhesive to really lift the pie…it’s making me hungry talking about it!  I managed to find some paper in my stash that has cherry’s and I’m committed to using what I’ve got and as I explore my stash I definitely have more than I thought! I used my button die to get the perfect colour for my buttons!

Christmas Treat Box

It’s such a cute little box and so quick to make,and  M & M’s are perfect to pop in or small mints…any chocolate really. It’s made using a 6x 6 inch designer paper double sided and scored like tic tac toe and then the extra score lines to fold and a flap to finish,easy peasy when you know how. When I get a chance I will do a YouTube tutorial for all you visual learners,…. like me. I really enjoy the challenge of construction and hate reading instructions but it’s so worth it when it’s finished!

Christmas Tree Gift Card

Here is a super simple card to make and the snow is 11 am snow. Early morning snow is hard and icy and very blue and the after lunch snow can start to melt and sometimes gets slushy (like the drink), but this is perfect snow…. 11am snow…not too hard and not too soft and glistens with the sun, it shimmers like a layer of glitter! To make your very own 11am glimmering snow firstly perfectly cut a rectangle of white cardstock at approximately two thirds the height of the base card now rip at an angle, at proportions one third & two thirds. Now layer the highest one at the base of your card and the smaller second piece over the top and liberally apply glitter glue for perfect 11 am snow!

My Golden Retriever Honey came home from hospital on Thursday night and she is heading for a speedy recovery, this time last week we thought the worst at the words spinal injury but every day her ability to do more and more is amazing and every step towards recovery is very positive. We got her back swimming and she is so happy as she normally swims up to 4 times a day and I think she is actually smiling. I am very relieved to have her home! Thank you, I really appreciate all your well wishes for Honey. All of a sudden that song “All I want for Christmas is YOU" is so true!

Hope you have all had a great weekend.
