Warmest Winter Wishes

Morning

Eeek not been able to  post for nearly a week, I am playing catch up with everything LOL!  But Yippee for Friday and not long to go now, I still have loads to do but getting there slowly.   I have got nearly all the presents now but not all wrapped yet.   Beth and my niece Amy put the tree up for me last Saturday, looks really good too!  So just a few more bits and bobs and then the dreaded food shopping as I have nothing in yet could be Beans on Toast!!

So my card today is for my crafty buddy in crime Lisa,   I hope she likes it!  I chose  a gorgeous Teddy Bea teamed up with some lush Bo Bunny papers!  I paper pieced the star and added some pom poms and flowers and a little charm to boot  (get it)!!

Christmas Pudding.....

Morning

Oh hope you are all warm and well, have you had snow, we had a little bit here but nothing much.  A quick post from me as I am just about to hit the road down to Devon to visit my MIL and SIL and nephews.   I wasn't sure if we would go as I had a migraine from hell yesterday and didn't go to work, I feel really sorry for people that suffer with these on a regular basis, it was horrible!! My card today is a Teddy Bea and she has got her Christmas Pud, I LOVE Christmas Pud with Brandy cream, Yum Yum!  I used by gorgeous MB bow die and went for traditional colours for this one, although I am not very confident colouring in red.

Teddy Bea for Tuesday...........

Good Morning

OMG Skyfall was amazing, so enjoyed it, as usual I am one of the last to see it, there was only 9 people in the cinema LOL!  So expensive though, poor hubby who I don't think has been to the pics for donkeys years went grey when he was asked for 33.00 quid, it was so funny!

I got Teddy Bea on the brain at the mo and I teamed this gorgeous little Bea with Prima Papers and some loverly lace and flowers.

What do you think of my bottom???????????

Ha Ha, bottom of my card that is...............(sorry couldn't resist that one LOL)

Hello again, second post today, my Digital Delights card is below if you fancy a peek!!
So today I have had a good old play in my cupboard, got me DT card done for the weekend so that's good and then thought I would have a bash with my Stampin Up edgelits and matching embossing folders.. There are two very decorative edges which you can combine with a complimenting embossing folder , I think it makes for a lovely finish.  I have taken a pic to show you what I mean!!

I decided on a Teddy Bea image and those Maja Design papers again..........

Teddy Bea Sunday

Hello
Hope all those daddies out there are enjoying their day, wonder how many got breakfast in bed, ah those days have gone for me getting the kids organised to make it and take it up on a tray!!  Still hubby was pleased with this mug, chocs and gift card!!!

I have a horrible feeling I have something brewing, I feel quite yucky today,I am hoping it is short lived and whatever it is it can 'go away'!!
So I was so lucky to win the last challenge over at Teddy Bo and I was runner up the week before so I have 6 digi's to play with, lucky me!  The current challenge is a gift card, mmm I have gone very simple (coz that's all I can do LOL) and attached a pocket to the inside with a little folder to hold the card, that' about as technical as I can get!   I thought this was a great image to hold and I-Tunes voucher!! Mind you while looking for some inspiration I did come across this tutorial for a gift card holder which I would have used had I not already coloured my image, she is way to big for the dimension on this one, but it is a fab tutorial and one I think I will use at a later date, you can find it over on the All that Scraps Blog!
