Hi Everyone
Gosh I am doing well in posting a little earlier these last couple of days .. .. hope these aren't going to be famous last words and I end up being later than ever tomorrow!! LOL!!
A long thin creation from me today . .. but only because this gorgeous stamp won't fit on my normal 144 x 144 square card bases without masking off the images and stamping each letter individually. Mmmm.... might have to try that sometime!!!
This used:
Image: Penny Black "2985L" Duck-Noel
Backing Paper: Dovecraft "Back to Basics Christmas" Vintage
My Trust Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Metallic Cord and Little Bells from my Stash Box
Not too much I can say about my make other than that I love those ducks, and thankfully I enjoy matting and layering LOL!!
Well, short and sweet from me today which is a good thing as I have a mountain of things to be getting on with. I even resorted to setting up a table in our bedroom today and had a mammoth cuttlebug cutting session in there as there wasn't room to organise everything anywhere else! Who knows what we will find under the bed covers tonight but clearly I need a craft table as big as a King Size bed (and then a craft room big enough to ft it in!!). I wonder if Santa ever brings that kind of thing?!?!?!? I feel certain I have been good enough if he does. LOL!!
Hope you like my little share of the day and are not getting too fed up with seeing Christmas cards day after day!!
I am looking forward to hearing everyone's stories of their visits to the NEC and to seeing pictures of their crafty spends. Sadly no visiting for me this time round, but I hope all of you lucky people that are able to attend have a good time.

ReplyDeleteThese little ducks are brilliant Jules! I am lucky enough to have a big craftie space (garage conversion) but it's still not big enough!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI so love this fun stamp and love what you have done with it too, did you know you can turn it into the word LOVE, as well - i've seen it done, you basically mask one half of the N off, Luv Sam x

I always love to see what other people come up with for Christmas Jules, so I'm never bored with C Cards! Love this stamp, but I love all things PB so that's no great stretch. I've seen this one stamped individually, cut into four and arranged to spell Noel again on a square card if you'd like to try that!!

I love the long, skinny look and it's so perfect for these adorable ducks. That bow with the jingle bells is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love those ducks, Jules. It makes a great Christmas card, something a little bit different.
