Back to Birthdays

Christmas is over! and I now have some table back and a little bit of time as it is the school holidays so back to birthday cards. I rediscovered this QVC kit when i was clearing the table for Christmas dinner. The hedgehog images are stamps from the Penny Black range which I watercoloured, the shopper is a Jolly Nation image.. They were matted onto holographic card and coordinating papers. The butterfly card is finished off with some matching peel-offs and vellum attached with gem brads.

And now for something a little different!

Not papercrafting this time but painting all the same. A visit to a ceramics cafe and this was the result - what do you think ?

Christmas Cards

I didnt have time to make many Christmas cards this year but here are some of the ones I did manage.

Christmas Tags

I had originally intended these tags as part of a swap on CSF but events rather overtook me and I only got 4 made instead of the 20 I needed :( They didn't go to waste, I used them and only just remembered to snap them halfway through attaching them to presents !! lol
The Snowman image is from Stampin Up, stamped onto white card and matted onto silver mirri and blue card. I watercoloured the images and added just a tad of glitter !

What no Bloggin!!

How remiss of me, still no bloggin for over a month now!
I have some pictures of Christmas cards to add so will do that over the weekend hopefully.
I have been so caught up with school just lately, I videoed ( how do u spell that word ?) the Nativity in the gazebo on the school playing field and edited it with music and effects for the Christmas Concert. It went down really well yesterday with the parents, one more performance today, hope the technology holds out for me!
Tomorrow is our Christmas "Do" at the Runnymede hotel so I'm sure I will have some photos to add from that too.
