More Clearly Besotted peeks!

Hi and welcome back.  Today I’m sharing a card made with another of the new stamp and die sets from Clearly Besotted available at midnight on 5th November.  This set is called Window Dressing and as I’m in total Christmas mode now I thought it would make an ideal festive card.  You can’t see it in the photo but I have a layer of acetate behind the window to give it a more realistic effect looking out onto a snowy evening to a sparkling Christmas tree – sigh!  Would it be too early to start putting up the decorations???  The tree is from the Set The Scene stamp set released last month and the {perfect for this card} sentiment is from both Modern Christmas (the “Merry Christmas” – love that font) and Christmas Cheer (“from our home to yours”).

Window dressingHope you’re enjoying the peeks so far over on Stephanie’s blog.  I’ll be back tomorrow with a card featuring another new set called “Hey Beautiful” – cutest-peacock-ever!!!

New release time at Clearly Besotted – Yippee!!!

Hello all – here with a little glimpse of one of the stunning new sets being released by Clearly Besotted in November (the 6th to be precise!!).  This set is called Take Good Care and features two beautiful flower stems, a delphinium-style flower and a Chrysanthemum.  Both are a dream to colour – right up my street!

take good careI coloured the image with my new Copics – yes – I’ve taken the leap!!  Take a look over on Steph’s blog, Stamping and Sharing for more inspiration for the upcoming release and some of the other DT members are also sharing some amazing cards today so make sure you check them out while you’re there.

Oh, and as Simon’s Says Wednesday Challenge is “Anything Goes” – I’m sharing it over there too!!

Merry, merry, Christmas!

Hello everyone.  Well did you all have an enjoyable Halloween last night?  We had an awesome time and even the rain stayed off!  I’m exhausted today though – boy these kids social lives are hectic!!

I have been playing with the Clearly Besotted October release again and made a nice, simple Christmas card.  I’m quite pleased with this design and might make quite a few this year (different versions obviously – I’m rubbish at mass production!!).

merry merry merryWell, I’ve got my little baby’s sixth birthday tomorrow – wish I could freeze time!!  Better get my work done so I’m free to enjoy the day!

Simon’s Wednesday Challenge this week is “Anything Goes” so thought I’d share this over there too!!
