Glitter Me Silly

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.

Today marks a new challenge over on the A Passion For Papertrey challenge blog and this time it’s a tag challenge.  We want to see a tag of some kind on your creation and of course, as always, there must be PTI in there somewhere too!!
As I am now in proper panic mode in the run up to the BIG day – virtually every card that I create from now until December 24th (yes, I am NEVER completely in control) will be a Christmas card of some description.  This year I am not putting myself under pressure to make the usual 150 plus that I do every year.  I’m not a fan of the mass production approach as I get bored too easily so it’s rare I make the same card twice.  With that in mind I have set myself a target of 50 cards, all different for those people that I know will appreciate them.  For those distant relatives and friends of the family that I don’t really “know” but nevertheless exchange cards with every year, there will be a card, just not a special hand-crafted one!  I know that’s a bit naughty but I would rather put that time into making something for my dearest friends and family members who will feel that little bit more special knowing not every one got one!
