Well good morning all you lovely jubbly people & what a beautiful morning it is..........can I just tell you tho that I have my eyes closed & I'm really sitting on a beach somewhere really hot & sunny & just tanning it up!! AH WELL!!! back to reality where I look out my window & its absolutely peeing it down....it really is raining cats & dogs & has been all blooming night....grrrrr!!!!
Anyway do you want to hear something that will cheer you up & brighten your day.....well come a little closer & I will tell ya..............................
Well its like this....................its time for the new........
now doesn't that brighten your day??? Of course it does!!!
Thank you for all your wonderful male cards last week....wow they were gorgeous & we certainly enjoyed looking at them. Onto this weeks challenge which this week our lovely Sheila has chosen, pop over to her blog leave her some love cus she has been rather nervous this week at doing her 1st post over at CES.
This weeks challenge is........
Buttons & Bows.
Now I have a little something to admit, I forgot about needing buttons, its been 1 of those weeks I'm afraid so.....well I'll just show you....
There is a snowman button on there & a snowflake button not sure if they are counted so I added a blingy button to my over-the-top ribbon lol.
Now when I made this card I had a few things in my mind....obviously it was my DT card but also PFP are asking for pink & white crimbo & Just Magnolia want pink to show support for Breast Cancer. Its also in recognition of their fab teamie Jacque who has recently beat this awful disease YAYYYYY go over & give her some love she surely deserves it......a true fighter!! I also wanted to try the candle easel card that the lovely Jane made & she also kindly did a fab tutorial which you can find here, if you dont follow this blog then DO IT they have the most fab tute's on there every week & this tute was soooo easy even I got it right.........actually I may be telling a ickle porky there I kinda got the card the wrong way round & scored the wrong end at 1st so that card went in my card recyling bin/box......lol.....I should of called this blog Thicky Sticky Vicky lol......
This is to show a better piccy of the candles, I used Vanilla ones so it smells gorgeous!! The tag is made from none other than my new Magnolia die which work soooo much better in the Bigshot, my cuttlebug is now back in its box & will be going on Ebay very shortly.....
All papers were distressed & then inked with 'Tattered Rose' distress ink. I have to tell the postie has just arrived with the new Magnolia Ink Crimbo magazine & a couple of the new crimbo stamps I got them from here & they give me some freebie threads (not sure what they are called lol) but boy talk about fast delivery....you know what I'm doing today....wooo hooooo.
My hand-made snowflake which I added some pink cosmic shimmer twinkles to on the top of the diamond dust...
A close-up of 'Christmas Morning' Tilda, I love this stamp its gorgeous.
