Nutcrafters Challenge #58...Snow

Hello me lovelies

Before i get on with today's post i just want to apologise for been missing again but unfortunately last Thursday my family received some devastating news that my uncle had passed away...it has hit our family really hard especially my Grandma and his son.
My heart goes out to his son {my cousin} more so now because he has no parents left as his mum died a few years back at such a young age too, luckily my cousin has a wife and little boy who will help him through this tough time plus he has all of us too!!

Right i am going to change the subject because i can feel the tears starting to flow again and i will never get this post done...

 Today i am here with a Nutcrafters DT card for you as it's the start of a new challenge but our last for 2013 so this means you will have a month to enter our challenge and we will be back in January.

On my card i've added Snowflakes and some glitter as Snow as if the little Elf and the toys are playing in the snow and having lots of fun so here's my Nutcrafters DT card...hope you likey :)

Products i have used...
Papers and card...Card base {Stash} and white panel from {scrap box}
Ink...Stampin Up 'Real red' ink pad, Memento 'Tuxedo black' ink pad
Well that's all from me today folks but i will be back soon...

Signature Christmas {part 1}

Hello me lovelies

In yesterdays post i said i have some Christmas cards to share with you which includes my DT card for Nutcrafters too so today i am share {part 1} of my clean and simple Christmas cards with you which was inspired by cards i have seen on Pinterest while i was not blogging...this was well needed because i felt my mojo was starting to slip yet again due things happening here, anyhoo i think it helped because i whipped up 4 cards within about 15 minutes...yes 15 minutes...very quick for me and with a dodgy thumb too, i think i did a better job hehehehe
They are all A6 in size and all share the same simple layout but with different images and sentiments, i went for a black, red and white theme which i think is totally stunning, i know it's not traditional and it's not to everyone's taste but i love it...i am not going to share them all with you today but i will do over the next few days so here's Signature Christmas {part 1} card...hope you likey :)


Products i have used...
Papers and card...White and black card {stash}
Ink...Stampin Up 'Real red' ink pad and Memento Tuxedo black ink pad
Well that's all from me today folks but i will be back tomorrow with my DT card for Nutcrafters Midway reminder for their recent challenge and then i will back the following day with Signature Christmas {part 2}...
Thank you for taking the time to stop by here and for any sweet comments you may leave me :)

'Owl always be here for you'

Hello me lovelies

How are we all?? Are we all getting excited and ready for Christmas??

 It's been a little hectic in our household...just when i thought i was getting over my cold the last time i was here, nope it came back with avengence and then to top things of i sliced the top of my thumb nearly off with a pair of scissors...no joking either...lots of blood all over my DT and order cards that i just made so they had to be made all over again eeek!!
Now i know what's going through your minds...how the hell did you managed to slice your thumb with scissors.....welllll there's a lesson to be learned from my story and that's never take your eye off the ball {scissors in my case} when cleaning them...yep i was away with the fairies when cleaning, thinking of Christmas and getting all excited about all the the nice things i have planned with my children over the what i call the Christmas month...watch a Christmas movie every night, pressie shopping, Christmas baking etc 
{all exciting...Yay!!} Oh i love Christmas!!

 Right i best stop waffling because i am getting a tad excited and i could talk about Christmas all night hehehe

 Unfortunately today i don't have a Christmas card for you but i will have over the next few days, instead i have a little owl card for you 'Owl always be here for you'...using an adorable stamp and matching die set from Clearly Besotted called 'You're a Hoot' so without further ado here's todays creation...hope you likey :)

Update - Forgot to tell you that this card was made using scraps from my scrap box...this is a little challenge i have set myself and it's one way of getting rid of all those scraps you have left over from others cards, why not try it too!!

Products i have used...
Papers and card...Trimcraft First Edition 'Sweet Owl' 8x8 paper pad, Brown and Kraft card {stash}
Ink...Stampin Up 'Close to cocoa' and 'Creamy caramel' ink pads
Tools...Clearly Besotted 'You're a Hoot' die, Xcut decorative tag dies and Spotty embossing folder
Well that's all from me today folks but i will be back soon...
Thank you for taking the time to stop by here and for any sweet comments you may leave me :)
