A Gift For You!!

Good morning everyone and welcome to my new followers!! Here's another Christmas make to add to the many i've already made!!

I've used a non traditional image for Bildmalarna and coloured with Promarkers.

The DP's  were free in my Papercraft Inspirations Mag which arrived in the post today.

I used my Marianne Design Snowman die, placed a chipboard star in the little girls hand as a gift for the snowman and finished it all off with some lace and pearls.

I'm A Butterfly and Some Good and Bad News

Hello my blog friends, sorry i haven't been around for the past few days but the bad news is i've had terrible toothache and yesterday i got an emergency appointment and had a large molar removed so i'm still in pain but not as much as i was before!! 

The good news is i was chosen to be the next GDT at the Joanna Sheen challenge, thank you Sandie for choosing me.

Also i have a creation i made a couple of days ago but wasn't feeling well enough to upload it. I've made a snowflake decoration using one of my prize images for winning the All That Scraps challenge. She is called Ima Butterfly and she is from the Swiss Pixies collection from CC Designs, i've coloured her with Promarkers and added some glitter. I've masked her onto a Fred She Said snowflake freebie which i've also glittered. The Snowflakes are made using my Spellbinders Create a Flake die and my Sissix snowflake die cut from silver holographic card and white glitter card, the trim and ribbon bow are from Papermania's Couture trim. I found this very difficult to photograph but i hope the photos do it justice!!

"And a Partridge in a Pear Tree" and a bit of a moan!!

Hello my friends, i'm sitting here eagerly awaiting the postman hoping that he brings some of the prizes i won on challenges. You know when you email the challenges for your prizes and you don't get a reply well i always presume that my email is floating around in cyberspace lost forever but this is not always the case, sometimes it's because they don't rush to reply or they don't even bother replying, which is so annoying!! So hopefully today will be the day when my prizes show up!! 

Well that's my moan over with!!
EDITED TO ADD
That my fab prize from The Sugar Bowl challenge arrived but just to clarify that i wasn't moaning about you!!

And I Love Them!!

Thank you Girls
