We wish you a Merry Christmas...

Hello lovely people,

I very much enjoyed having Thursday off this week as well as my usual Wednesday for some extra crafting time.  I'm back in work just for Friday and then it's the weekend...and more time to craft - yay!

I have sooooo much I want/need to do right now; sound familiar?!

I'm surprising myself by really enjoying making Christmas cards (very early for me!) so I thought I'd stick with that for my Dies to Die For DT card this week!

This is a lovely Tiddly Inks rubber stamp that is fairly new in at Dies to Die For and I couldn't resist that pair of sweet little faces!

I think this might be the quickest some new craft stash has made it onto my card as the foliage and speech bubble dies landed on my doormat on Thursday morning and were used on this card by the afternoon!

Well, they are rather fab...am I tempting anyone?!

Wishing you all a very happy Friday and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend whatever your plans may be :-)

What's up?

Hello lovely people,

Happy Friday and roll on the weekend, when I will be spending time with some family including two of my lovely nephews so I am really looking forward to that.  

But first...I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you and it's hopefully an 'uplifting' one for a Friday - lol!

TGF were one of my fave brands when I first got into stamping and I realised I haven't really used a lot of them recently so I 'acquired' a super cute set to play with.

I decided to paper piece the balloon, partly because colouring balloons scares me and partly because I think it looks so good..and then I thought she could have a dress to match because every girl likes to co-ordinate right?!

The dress paper is from the Cool Summer pad and the background papers are from the other pads as listed below.

I used my new MFT stencil for the clouds but I really must get myself some DIs for shading because at the moment I can only do the clouds with Copics and although I think they look ok, I think DIs would be better.

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the thumbnails at the end of my post or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

I hope you all have something good planned for the weekend :-)
