Glitter Xmas


Hi one and all
Yesterday I got to go to a sleepover and make Christmas cards.  How good is that.  The funny think was I only took my dies, minimal paper making sure my glitter, foil and some ds paper was in the pack.  Odds and ends and I survived the nite.  The good thing was my gf had the required Big Shot, and a whole heap of embossing folder that I could use.  So I managed to make 4 cards.  No much you might say but a we all know some days you're lucky if one is made a week.  Well I might be stretching it a bit.

So here's the first one

Ciao bellas
Hope you all had a rocking weekend.  We had a brief thunder storm with some hail here this arvo for about half an hour.  It certainly cooled the place down quick.

Christmas Star 2


Yo one n' all
This card was so easy to put together, wish it was always the case.  I've now managed to get a lovely stash of washi tapes in the Christmas theme.  A SU star punch was used to punch out the glossy star.  I cut the shape of the tree using a box cutter.  So entering this one into the challenge

Christmas pressie


Happy Thursday everyone
I had a very good day today.  Xfit was awesome, my back squats were good, I did a PB on my 2km row - under 10 mins which I'm happy with.  Lunch was awesome as well the pork chop came on a heated piece of stone where you got to watch you meat being cooked at the table.

Now this card had me going for a while, I'm happy with the end results.

Remember


LEST WE FORGET

Happy days,
Had to get the thinking cap for this challenge, haven't done a one layer card like for years.  I'm so use to using layers to make that card stand out, but I think I've done it George.  I've use masking techique to colour my baubles using the negative and positive cuts for the various inking.  I hope this is what the DT over on CAS on Sunday are expecting.  :/

Merry snowflake




Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a good day.  I'm just shatted from exercising and getting some physio work done today.
Another one for the Chrissy pile.  Yesterday I went to a friend's home for the famous Melborne Cup horse race.  We all had a wonderful time and the food prepared by everyone was so yummy.  I think I ate too much again, but I had a very good time.

Reindeer Xmas


Hi everyone,
It's Tuesday and your wondering why I mentioned this.  Well it's Melbourne Cup - one of the most watch horse race in Australia.  A time for folks to don on their finery and look classy for the day, well that's a matter of opinion I suppose.  Me, well I suppose I'll try and look pretty by not wearing my norm shorts n t-shirt and get into a dress.  I'm off to a friends place for BYO plate where we'll get to have an enjoyable lunch and each other's company.

Well I've managed to finish another Chrissy card for the pile by using Spellbinder's Nestabilities - Frosty Forms, Nestabilities Decorative Elements - Labels 28; Fancy That dies - French Florish 1; Cuttlebug embossing folder, Washi tape, foil cardstock,
