THE GLITTER IS OUT!!

Hi Everyone

Well the Glitter and Glamour Dust is out . .. that can only mean one thing .. .. I have made a start on Christmas!!!

I know lots of you will think it is far too early . . but I know I am just going to have to "squeeze them in" wherever I can so you will be seeing a few no doubt over the next few weeks!

So here we go:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4203K" Snowscape
Backing Papers:  Dovecraft Vintage "Back to Basics Christmas"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Martha Stewart Punch:  Snowflake
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Chalk
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon
White Gel Pen

Nearly wishing I hadn't added chalk to the sky now.

I might rub that off tomorrow when the stickles are dry.

Right .. .. must fly.  I am supposed to be in the bath .. .. not crafting and posting .. .. so better go before I am "found out"!!!

Too late .. .. I hear footsteps on the stairs .. .. eeeekkkk!!!!!

Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Love

  13. Better to start early for Christmas before it catches you out. Saying that, I'm giving Christmas cards a bit of rest for a few weeks and concentrating on other stuff. Your card is beautiful but I see what you mean about the blue sky ... here in Scotland it would be grey if there was snow on the ground :) Love that PB stamp. You nearly had me foxed tonight but I've spotted the heart - I'll be able to sleep now :)) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

  20. What a beauty Jules, a girl can never have too much glitter on Christmas cards. I managed to get all mine finished before I gave up crafting so my halo is shining!!! Craft room all demolished and new bed being delivered end of the week. Was out with my friend yesterday and we were bedding shopping ... all the money I made on my ebay sales has now been spent!!! Hugs x
