Christmas cards

At Christmas time I started sharing cards that I made for a friends sister.

I didn't show you all of them (obviously) so thought I would show you them now.

The first card is using 'Little Elf Mim' from Mo Manning. 

I had issues with this one as I put glitter on the bauble and then dimensional 

magic over the top. Unfortunately it kept lifting when it was attached to the paper. 

I had to leave this way as it just was very persistant to come up. 

 This next card was made using 'Little Elf Finn'. So cute.

This turned out brilliantly and again had the issue with the lifting 

but what can you do. 

 This card was made for my girlfriend using one of the Emo Valentines images

from Simply Betty. I thought it was a good one to use for Christmas-

coz you know Christmas is all about love and sharing etc. LOL. 

This image was a freebie image from Simply Betty (for a limited time). 

She coloured up really well and love how the card came together. 

Surfing Santa from Spesch Designer Stamps. What else can I say. 

Love this jolly fellow. 

Last but not least this is 'Fairy Fae Catching a Star' by Tiddly Inks.

My GF's sister was very specific about colours and what type of image to be used

for this card. Unless you know the full story it wouldn't make sense to you but too 

long to explain. It turned out just the way it should have and the recipient was most

pleased with it. 

Enjoy your day.

Jude and the Rockers

Morning again all. Just thought I would show you a card I made with the new release of stamps over at Simply Betty Stamps. This is Jude and he is the first of the previews for you this week. I am a bit late with my post. Unfortunately I had to step down from the Simply Betty DT a couple weeks ago as I want to concentrate more on Spesch Stamps. These new stamps from SBS will be available in rubber only and will be available for purchase at the end of the week. A big thank you again to Betty for allowing me to be on an amazing DT like Simply Betty.

Happy Birthday to.......

Act your dress size.....

Today over at Simply Betty Stamps we have Rio for you... just look at how cute she is trying to break Hula Hoop records by swinging not one but two Hula Hoops in one.

How many of you can Hula Hoop? I used be able to, I am sure I could probably do it now too but might injure myself.

Well, best to leave it to this 50's cutie!

It's a hop.....!!!!!

Whew you made it! Well almost! If you have come from Suzi blog than you are definately in the right place. Today our last image from Simply Betty Stamps Teen Scene stamps featuring Chaos and Christian!

This is what Betty had to say about the new stamps:

Teen Scene stamps are only available in Red Rubber form, cushion mounted and cut around the stamp. I know this is going to be hard for some of you, but please understand that with recent discoveries of image swapping and sharing of some of my digis, I am compelled to protect my investment. The best way for me to do this is to start eliminating digis and start producing more rubber and clear stamps. I am very sorry that I have been forced to do this, but I do hope you all understand where I am coming from.

After you hop go back to the Simply Betty Blog and tell Betty which was your favorite and why... do any of these remind you or yourself or someone in your family? Any funny story behind that? Let me know for your chance to win one of the following:

1st Prize: Lynx & London and Louie & Lola rubber stamps

2nd Prize: Max & Miller and Batty & Betty rubber stamps

3rd Prize: Raven & Rio and Chaos & Christian rubber stamps

4th Prize: Sassy Witch Mina and Pumpkin Queen Lucy rubber stamps

Zombie Preview Day #3

Who hoooo!! Are ya havin fun yet? Hardly wait to get your hands on some Summer Fun Zombies?? Who could blame ya!! Today we have another fun image for you to drool over... today we're showing you Christian!!

Make sure you venture over to the Simply Betty Stamps blog for more DT inspiration.

Now my inspiration for this card was from the DP. It is so beachy and of course Christian needs to be a surfer so hence the surfboard. I did his hair dull as (oops I forgot) Zombie are dead. They are the living dead but they are dead non the less so his hair is grey. Best I could do for dull looking hair without taking away from this sensational stamp. Hope you enjoy.
