A few more Christmas cards

******WARNING THIS IS A LONG POST*********

Did anyone else see frozen planet the other day? I do LOVE penguins and the filming as always with the BBC nature programs is just incredible! Well if you saw it and saw the emperor penguin bit you will know just where my inspiration for this card came from :D
The gorgeous main image is of course from the House mouse range and this one is a decoupage sheet from the lovely Joanna Sheen. I have added stickles to the snow so it really sparkles (not that this pic shows it very well). The sentiment is one I got a couple of years ago I got a whole load of them when they were on sale and they are from DCWV if I remember rightly. The paper is an old one as well from a couple of years ago from Dovecraft. The ribbon is from Fantastic ribbon while the border punch is Martha Stewart's doily lace edge punch from Crafts and me.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:
Scrapology - Feature a house mouse (that is not hard for me :D )
House mouse challenge - Warm and fuzzy
Shopping our stash - Winter or Christmas related
Ladybug crafts - Blue Christmas


My next card is using one of the brilliant digi's I won from Bronte and Bella's challenge a few weeks ago. Isn't she just sooo sweet! She is called Ragged Angel and you can pick her up HERE from Mo's Digital Pencil. I have coloured her with promarkers and added some stickles for a touch of sparkle. I have stamped some snowflakes around the edges of the image and torn all the edges before inking them for a more distressed feel. The paper is an old one again (yep I am trying to use up that old stash) again from Dove craft I think. The sentiment is from craft work cards. The peel offs gems and ribbon are from my stash.


I am entering this card for the following challenges:
Paper crafting journey - Anything goes
Daisy doodles creative challenge - Christmas creation


My last card is just a quick one using one of the Mo's Digital Pencil topper sheets I picked up at Ally Pally. These are such good fun to use as they are pre coloured and die cut so very quick. I have added some glaze and touches of sparkle with sakura stardust pens :D then I inked all the edges with gold brilliance ink. The sentiment also comes on the sheet. The gems are from my stash and the gorgeous paper is from Marianne D's winter world pack available HERE.

Gothic romance

This stunning lady is called beauty and I really think she is :D you can get her HERE from Crafts and Me. I couldn't resist giving her a bit of gothic twist with the black dress and black roses. I have coloured her with promarkers which are HERE at Crafts and Me. The paper is from the Authentique uncommon pack which you can get from Crafty Emma's Store. The gems were in my weekend bag and are from the lovely Linda. The lace is from Fantastic ribbon.

There is still time to enter the current Crafts and Me challenge which is a colour combo of pink, blue and green. And if you have ever wanted to join us on the DT there is a GDT call so why not try out just hop over to the Crafts and Me blog.

Grab a cuppa or a glass... xxx

Hi everyone I have just had the most AMAZING weekend away thanks to the very lovely A Crafty Weekend organised by the even more lovely Amy and Chris. It was such a fun weekend filled with oodles of laughter and wonderful people some familiar, but now all familiar. I am revving myself up for our re-union weekend next year already xxx

There were 11 crafty girlz crafting away all weekend ,well nearly all, there was also lots of yummy meals and wine and chocolate and giggles had along the way too. We were given a MAHOOSIVE goodie bag with brilliant products to play with from a number of suppliers (so please go to the tab at the top of my blog to see the sponsors.) Here are a few of the makes that I made. I made some jewellery something I have not done for few months and it has reignited my passion for beads xxx

This first bracelet is one I made to wear out for our pub dinner that we had during the weekend away!!! It is made using the very lovely starter kit we got.

The second bracelet I made for my niece who will be 21 next week. She loves these colours at the moment.

The third bracelet is one I just needed to make to have a play. I liked the colour combo of the gold with the green.

Here are two cards I made with some of my goodies they are both made using Crafts and Me stamps from my goodie bag. The card bases, the embellishments and the papers were also from my goodie bag.

I coloured in the images with promarkers, copics and the Flexmarkers that were kindly donated to A Crafty weekend Away by Letraset!!! I have had my arm twisted and purchased some as they were so amazing to work with I have mainly promarkers in my colouring case but favour the paintbrush effect of the new flexmarkers and the pigmentation is second to none too xxx

Thanks for stopping by today I really appreciate your time and comments. I hope you are inspired too. Hugs Pascale
