Glitter Me Silly

Hello all, just here to let you know we have a new challenge starting today over on A Passion For Papertrey. The theme for this fortnight is Sensational Silhouettes.  Now don’t panic – you can interpret this challenge in many ways, think of the many different solid-shaped images in your PTI sets – any one of then could be described as a silhouette.  For my card, the silhouette is in the form of a die-cut aperture (yes, I know it’s stretching it a bit!!).  I am on a mission to get as many of my Christmas cards done as possible and have been itching to play with my new stamp sets from the September release!!

Hope you’re able to join in with the challenge  and share your creations with us over at the blog.

ETA:  The Make It Monday technique of on Nichole’s blog is about layering die-cuts and mats – hope this qualifies because I’ve just linked it up!!!

Yes, at last I went ahead and made my first WMS order and here is the card I created with it!  This card uses stamps from two Halloween sets, Midnight Feast and Hocus Pocus.  They are both absolutley fabulous sets – I think the best Halloween stamps I’ve ever seen, I just love them!!  I also have to give a big thank you to Clare who owns WMS.  When my order came the Midnight Feast set had been mysteriously replaced with the Join Us stamp set!!!  When I contacted them I was told to keep the Join Us set and they would send me the MF set straight away – which they did!!!  What amazing customer service that is!!  Thank you so much!!

Anyway, I made this card using the gorgeous little witch silhouette from the Midnight Feast set and the little bats and sentiment are from the new set, Hocus Pocus.  I inked the edge of the card to give it a bit of a more spooky feel and added a bit of white gel pen to the apron of the witch!  Don’t you just LOVE that image?! I also pulled out my favourite MS punch ever – Drippy Goo!

Right, we’re being wined and dined this evening at some friends for the latest round in our very own Come Dine With Me experience!  This is the last of the 4 couple to entertain so tonight we find out who’s won the…..title of Winner of our Come Dine With Me experience!!!  Yes, there’s no prize money for us, just PRIDE!!
Have a good night wherever you are!!

Sorry I’m posting this up a few days late but it’s been a busy old week this week and  haven’t had one moment to myself!!  Our current challenge over at the Passion for Papertrey blog is to incorporate geometric shapes into your design.  I went for triangles and used the banner builder set for a christmassey card with lots of glitter!!

I have to say I am already feeling SOOO festive – have even started my christmas shopping!  I also started some little projects today for my annual contribution to the school fair – will share them in a few weeks when I’ve got them finished – loads of di-cutting, sewing and baking to do in the meantime!!!
Hope you can pop along this week and have a go at the challenge and have yourself a merry little weekend.
