Twas the night before Christmas

Good afternoon blog surfers.

Just pinched a few minutes to write while Grandson is watching Toy Story 2 and before number one son arrives from Leeds on the train,

All parcels have been wrapped and we await Santa. We usually have a sack each under the tree,so this year I made special tags for everyone.

Hopefully there will be lots of crafting goodies under the tree for me and no disappointments for anyone.

I will enter them in the following challenges:-

Crafty Little Fairies:- Anything goes

Heck of a Challenge :- Colourful Christmas

Well have a good one everyone.

Merry Christmas

Purple Tilda Angel

Evening  and thanks for stopping by.

I was really excited this morning as I had ordered a couple of new dies from Sir Stampalot yesterday and they were due with the post about 9. I dashed out to check the postbox when I saw the postie going back up the drive but 'boo hiss' no packet just my husband's magazine and a little red and white card saying 'You were out and the parcel is too big to put in, please leave 5 hours before contacting your local sorting office to arrange collection or redelivery' !!!!!!!!

Why hadn't he rung the bell or why hadn't the dog barked? Answer he had but the doorbell was broken! We had a slight power cut last week and it needed resetting for some reason. Never mind I went to pick it up at 3.30 and all is well.

Now for today's card.

I love this Tilda Angel stamp and in a few spare moments I coloured a few in preparation for a few cards I still needed. I used the following Copics;-

Hair:- Y21,26,YR24,E33

Skin:- E000,00,11,R11

Dress and tights :- V01,12,15,17

Wings:- C0,1,3

The paper is Craftwork cards 'Trim the Tree, the snowflakes are from a Cuttlebug cut and emboss set and a Sizzix die. The doily is a Doohickey die.

Think I will enre it in the following Challenges

Ribbon Girls - Magnolia Winter or Christmas

Copic Markers Norge - Anything so long as its Christmas (10)

Well thanks for stopping to look and I love to read all of your comments.

Must be missing an Angel

Evening all. Just sat here crafting and listening to Johnnie Walker sounds of the seventies on Radio 2 and feeling rather old if a tad nostalgic. Having a really lazy day today, started off with such good intentions!

Today's card got the old little grey cells churning, and its those ladies over at Crafty Little Fairies fault. Their latest challenge is 'Top of the Pops' There were so many ideas fluttering around but it boiled down to which stamps I had. I chose the Magnolia stamp Little Tilda, which is a cute Angel and my song inspiration is 'There must be an Angel' by the Eurythmics.

 

This is quite a simple card. I used white card in a holiday words embossing folder for the background. This was mounted on silver mirror card and onto dark purple card base, Tilda was coloured using Copics 

Skin - E000,00,11,R11

Dress etc - BV02,04,08

Hair - Y21,26,YR24,E25 .

The snowflake was cut from white card then coloured using BV08, the button and silver thread was from the stash.

That's about it then so see you all soon, 

tatty bye for now.
