Who wants to build a house...??

Oh lordy...!!! I have been looking for templates for house to 'build' or should I say make for Christmas this year (yes I am getting a bit ahead of myself). If you are interested in approximately 123 templates then go here to Mel Stampz blog and check them out. There are a couple that don't work but most you can download a template. Woot. I am super excited.

Merry Christmas

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.

May it be a safe and happy one.

This card was made for the Copicendium December issue.

Cheating

This year I have found that I have a bucket load of cards to send and give out so in my exhaustion to try and get them all finished I decided to cheat. I took two Mo Manning Little Elf Finn stamp and coloured them up (the same). I photocopied them all on another piece of card, two images at a time. Phew....!!! That in itself was time consuming but I did it and it was quicker that colouring 14 images by hand. The top two cards (see below) used the original coloured images that I photocopied. The following cards use the photocopied images. They turned out really well and if you are in a hurry or have lots of cards to do this is the way to go.

These cards were given to the Kinder girls at Ashley's

occasional care and the other will be given to Lachi's

kinder teachers.

These will be sent or given out to people.

Aussie Santa salute

Oh man...!!!! Phew....!!!! I don't know about anyone else but this year I have lagged so behind in my Christmas cards and I keep receiving more so have to give out more. It was so much simpler when it was just friends and family - now it is the kinder and school community. Ahhhh...!!! I am not gonna get enough cards made.

This one has to be the one I enjoyed making the most. This fabulous Santa stamp and beach background stamp were purchased from Make it Crafty. You can buy these and a lot more from the store. Santa was printed on white card but background was printed on Kraft card. I wanted Santa to stand out. Enjoy your day.

Morning everyone. How are we all...??? Yep you guessed it - another Christmas card.

Not too bad anyway. lol Could use it for a halloween/xmas card mixed in together LOL. Hope you are all up to date with your cards.

Pastel Christmas in July

Good afternoon everyone.

Hope we are all well on this lovely Sunday arvo.

Today here in Melbourne it is very overcast and cool out there. It has been

raining lots overnight. Good for the gardens I guess.

Today I have a Pastel Christmas card to share.

I made it for the Cupcake Craft Challenges Pastel Chrismas challenge this week.

I just happened to receive these gorgeous Lili of the Valley stamps on Friday

so I had to use them straight away.

This stamp is called 'Bringing Gifts'.

Under the feet I put some Sparkle 'n' Soft but it has not come up in the photos very

well at all. It is basically white velvet flocking with glitter in it. Looks great.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
