BET YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T PLAYING TODAY?

Hi Everyone

Did you think I was playing today?

Sorry to be so late.  I spent most of the morning with Mum so I am a bit "behind" myself.

Today's share is a bit different for me .. .. I wonder when I will find my "true" style?  I love all the different types of cards I do and don't think I could ever stick to just one type.

I love the backing paper I have used here.  It is from Papermania and I bought the pack a little while ago but loved it too much to use .. .. (now I know why I love my backing paper CD's so much .. .. I can have as many sheets off those as I want).  Lots of scrummy papers in the Papermania pack - and when I found the new craft shop at the weekend I decided to buy another pack so that would use some of the gorgeous papers.  No doubt you will be seeing a few more of the sheets over the next couple of weeks.

Eekkk!!!  Just think .. .. another couple of weeks and we will probably be at the end of Christmas card production for 2010!!!

Anyway, here is my share of the day





This used:

Backing paper:  Papermania "A Silent Night"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Nestabilities: Standard Circles Large and Classic Scalloped Circles Large
Woodware Punch:  Holly Leaf
Cuttlebug embossing folders:  Swiss Dots and Distressed Stripes
Distress Ink Pad:  Old Paper
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads and Acrylic Stones (coloured with Alcohol Inks)
Glamour Dust:  Gold
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon and cord from the stash box

There was also a bit of Glimmer Mist used on the holly leaves but it isn't really visible on the photographs.  Shame!!

So that is the end of my share for today.  Mr Blogger was up-loading photographs very quickly tonight .. .. thank you Mr Blogger!!!

Off to tidy up a bit now ahead of the Apprentice starting in a bit.

Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Love

  17. I can see why you couldn't use that paper - it's fabulous. You coud always ask for the card back for recycling after Christmas I suppose. No that's a bit naughty isn't. A gorgeous card.
