Planes, Trains & Automobiles

As promised, I'm back with some cards to show you. It's a busy day for me today so this may seem a bit rushed!
The challenge on CCT this week is......
"Planes, trains and automobiles...but of course, we wouldn't restrict you to just those vehicles, absolutely any mode of transport is allowed!....."
I think I may have got a bit carried away with this challenge as I've done three cards! I probably would have done more but time caught up with me. Anyway, when I looked at the finished cards, I realised I've made them in my favourite colours - red and teal/turquoise!! It wasn't intentional....it's just funny how I'm drawn to those colours. I must admit, it was a bit weird making Christmas cards in April.....must have been the snow at the weekend getting me in the mood!!



For this card, I used Pink Petticoat designs printed onto lightweight c.s., with the plain piece embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder. The image is Christmas Ride by Penny Black, coloured with Brushables with glamour dust added to Santa's beard, moustache and hat (doesn't show too well). The image was layered onto PP card and mirricard. Sentiment is computer generated, grosgrain ribbon is from Dovecraft, sticky gems are from Papermania and holly 3D sticker is also Papermania.



This card was made with Doodlebug c.s. and K & Co paper. The stamp is Snowboard Fluffles from Stampendous coloured with Sakura Souffle pen and glamour dust added to the spots on his snowboard, snowflakes and the bobble on his hat. Doodlebug rub-on stitches were used along with Doodlebug ric rac ribbon. The sentiment is computer generated and the snowflake brad is from my stash.


This card is a combination of the two colours. Wasn't sure about this one at first, but the more I look at it, the more I like it! Cardstock is Doodlebug/Bazzill with the small panel run through the Cuttlebug with the Spots and Dots embossing folder. Paper, or rather c.s. as it's quite thick, is from Sassafraslass. Image is courtesy of Jilli which I received in a PIF and I have coloured it with Sakura Souffle, Marvy and used some Sakura glaze over the red for a shine. The sentiment "Tres Chic" is from See D's. Flower is from Little Silver Hat and brads are from Michelle at The Card Grotto. (For some reason my links aren't working, sorry girls).

Must rush now as I'm due out in half an hour and nowhere near ready!!

It's Blog Candy Time!

I'VE EDITED THIS MESSAGE SO (HOPEFULLY!) IT WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG UNTIL THE COMPETITION IS OVER. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! WILL ALSO BE ADDING PHOTOS OF ENTRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A BLOG. As promised, it's blog candy time. There are three reasons for me doing this. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! For those of you who don't know, Tony has been working in Australia for the past 15 months and we have only seen him twice in that time.....the last time being at the beginning of October last year! He should be home within a matter of weeks - he's given me the date of 10 June but

Fancy a Magnolia?

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over the last six weeks. It's amazing, I really didn't think I would get so many hits when I started out. It really is appreciated. Now to the blog candy......I've thought long and hard about this and decided to do something a little bit different. The reason being, I think even though we enjoy making cards, we're all so busy with birthdays, challenges, and everyday life, so I thought I'd make it simple. I admit to being a bit(?) of a nosey old moo!! so what I would like you to do is send a link to a photo of your craft space. Don't worry how tidy(?)/untidy, small, big, whatever, your space is. Could be a room (I'd kill for one!), a corner of a room (like mine!), a dining room table. It doesn't matter, just add a comment with a link to your blog and if you haven't got a blog, then e-mail me a photo (my e-mail link is in my Profile). Just to get you started, here's my space

A Quick Magnolia!

This is going to be a very quick posting as I've been suffering from toothache on and off since Friday evening and it is now unbearable. I do have an appointment with the Dentist tomorrow so if I can just get through tonight I'll be OK! Don't really feel like listing all the details for this one, so if you have any questions, just ask.
