Moxie Fab Jolly Holiday Challenge!

Just a quick post today.  I made these two cards the other night after getting my new latest PTI delivery.  In it was the Text Style stamp set and I was dying to try it out.  I also used Fancy Flourishes, Signature Christmas and Christmas Tags 2009.  The green one is stamped in Spring Moss for the background and Ripe Avacado for the main image (Papertrey Ink) and the pink one is stamped in Regal Rose (SU).  I also used my new Fillable Frames #4 die – ooh, I love it so!!!  I much prefer the green one I have to say – there’s something a bit to sickly about that pink!!!

Oh, I’m also entering this over at the current challenge at Moxie Fab World which is – Jolly Holiday Greetings Challenge in the Moxie Fab World!

 Ok, we’re off for a kyaking (sp?) weekend in Yorkshire later – hope the weather improves!!!!
Have a great weekend everyone.

I won a prize!!!!

And it is possibly one of the BEST prizes I could have ever hoped to have won!  It is the September Release Day 2 “Framed” Prize package over on Nichole Heady’s blog!!!!  OMG!!!  I wasn’t even fully awake when I checked the winners page this morning and at first thought I might be still asleep!!  I am so chuffed, I really am.  The prize is the Stocking Prints stamp set, co-ordinating Stocking Dies, Framed stamp set and the Seeing Stars die set!!!  ALL were going in my shopping cart on release night anyway – yippeeeee!

Oh, and to make it an even MORE perfect week – my anniversary set came in my August release parcel.  I am so happy!

Hugs,

A Christmas project!

Well, I am definnitely starting to get that Christmassey feeling what with the upcoming Papertrey Ink release (swoon) and the general change in the weather around here.  I have realised that I better get my skates on if I’m going to get all the cards made for Christmas that I need to!  As a start here is a little card and gift box set I made a few weeks ago for the Passion For Papertrey blog – totally forgot to share it at the time – oops!

I used a Sizzix Bigz XL die for the box and made my focal point for the card out of the little pop-out from the front/  I used Peaceful Poinsettias stamp set and Pure Poppy cardstock and ink.  The image on the box is stamped in Versamark and then embossed in white. 

Ok, better get organised – got a busy day ahead!

Have a great weekend everyone.
