Glitter Me Silly

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!

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.

Well, this was supposed to be a scheduled post for last Monday but something went wrong and it didn’t post.  I am only just remembering to do it now – shame on me!!  This card is my sample (as the featured stamper) for the current challenge at Passion for Papetrey which is to use polka dots.  I was so happy to see this challenge – I LOVE dots and so whipped out my old cuttlebug embossing folder which hasn’t seen daylight in a while!  I also used the kraft coloured paper from the Dotty Biscotti collection – EVERYTHING is Papertrey Ink of course.

I also just wanted to say to Kate and Aimes  it has been an honour being a part of your challenge blog an I’m SOO looking forward to getting together again in October.

Hae a great day everyone,
