Well it is hardly worth me making an appearance today .. .. my day has flown by faster than ever before and then hubby decided we should go shopping for a few Christmas things!
Dare I admit that I actually resorted to BUYING some Christmas cards!!! Shock horror!!!
Hanging my head in shame now :-(
Hubby also saw some ready rolled out marzipan whilst we were out and about. I think he thought I might need some. I'm not sure if he was disappointed or not when I told him you actually need a Christmas cake to put the marzipan onto .. .. and as we don't have one we won't need any!!
Oh dear .. .. what a bad wife, cardmaker and blogger I am becoming.
Once back home I was determined to have another play with the new patterned kraft papers from Pink Petticoat .. .. so here we go:
Image and Sentiment: Woodware Clear Stamps "Tipsy Tree"
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat "Christmas Kraft Organics" (Printed from a different colour set to the one I showed last night)
Hobbycraft Punch: Snowflake
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Button, ribbon and cord from my Stash Box
Those of you who have been following my blog for a while will have seen me use this stamp for the last two Christmases .. .. but because it hadn't made an appearance this year I bet you were thinking I had lost it LOL!!! But no. It was just waiting its turn to see daylight.
So that is me for today.
Time to get a shirt ready for hubby for tomorrow. I did tell you I was behind with everything!!!
Catch you again tomorrow.
Hopefully much earlier!!!
Love
This is fabulous Jules. I love that tree and as I have only been part of blogland since May this year it is the first time I have seen you use it.
ReplyDeleteThose papers really are gorgeous and your layout is brilliant.

Your tipsy tree is one of my faves, Jules and your card is delightful. You could always buy some cake to go with that marzipan you know!!! Hugs, Lesley
ReplyDeleteA fab card Jules although I think the tree seems to be looking for something - marzipan perhaps?? Back in the days when I used to make Christmas cakes I usually had to buy the marzipan more than once - simply because I couldn't resist eating it before it got onto the cake. Go on - buy him some.

Hi Jules, yes I do stop by now & again & have been keeping track of all your gorgeous crimbo makes. I wish I could come up with so many ideas as you do! Thanx everso for sticking with me while I've been away & you'll be pleased to know that there's something new to look at on my blog. I haven't given up crafting totally just got a tad sidetracked :-) & also I've been looking into new & different crafts to try.

ReplyDeleteHello little tree, I was wondering where you were hiding :) I so adore this stamp Jules and what a perfect card you made. Not sure if the stitching is 'faux', it's a lovely touch! Eeek, did I spot the heart - just scampered back to the piccies and yup, can see it/them :)
ReplyDeleteMarzipan - yummy. Dates, split with the stones removed and a little piece of marzipan inserted are lovely. Only sayin'!
Love, Di xx
