A site for my handmade cards, accompanied by my photos and written meanderings which are occasionally witty, often tongue-in-cheek, and rarely profound. Beginning in June 2013, you'll also see lots of NBUS, which is an acronym I coined for Never-Before-Used-Schtuff. Note: my Privacy Policy can be found at a tab below and you can find my NBUS Challenge online. I hope you'll join in the fun there! Thanks for coming by! Have a beverage and enjoy!

Guest Designing at Rudolph Days Challenge!

Hello Stamplings!

Surprise! You didn't expect to open your screen and see me here on a Thursday, but I'm happy and honored to be here today as a Guest Designer for the Rudolph Days Challenge

Onefer. I went with traditional colors for this design:
The holly and pine frame in green are NBUS from PTI. I let the guys blow their little gold-filled whistles onto a small red panel to insert in the center of the frame. Over that I added a heavily gold-embossed Red and Greens brooch, er, branch from Penny Black and a chipboard sediment from Memory Box.

We'd love to have you join in with your Christmas in July design this week ~ and hereafter! You might not want to look, or you might just be peeking through your fingers, but the truth is, that 'mail date' for your cards is fast approaching! 

🎄 Challenges will run monthly starting on the 25th of the month at 9am UK time and running until the last day of the month. 🎄
There will be a Top 3 chosen each month and published at the start of the following month.  Everyone who is chosen as part of the Top 3 will be invited to join a future challenge as a Guest Designer. 🎄The challenge theme is always anything goes as long as it's a Christmas project - you can link up anything you want as long as it's been hand made by you - this includes digital cards that have been made by you. 🎄More guidelines on the Rudolph Days site.

Hammy and I took this opportunity to teach Stanley about "non-traditional" Christmas colors with our second design. This was very QACAS because it only involved die-cutting gold mirror cardstock, some beautiful pp that I'm delighted to find a perfect use for, and a sediment from Memory Box! Shazam, Stan!

You're welcome for the cold Christmas makes to cool you off if, like us, you are still sweltering. And now a quick punctuation to my post from Monday as a little icy refreshment ... one more fruit cake! No, no, I mean fruit make!

Pink Fresh, "Pears and Pomegranates" and NBUS "Stitched Whirl Background" from Simon Says. Stitched circle from MFT and sediment from PTI.

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*
