...cookies

Annapurna said my fimo snowflakes reminded her of sugar cookies - she thought I should make some and try stamping them - So here you are Annapurna!! I'm real sorry you can't taste these tho' they're a bit yummy!!!

It was a wet afternoon and we needed something to do, so I scrubbed my snowflake serenade stamps clean and the kids and I stamped a few cookies before they went in the oven - we 'dry' stamped some and 'inked' some others by making a little food colouring ink pad out of a piece of kitchen towel on a plate.

I think they turned out interesting - think I might have to try it again tho' - might have made a nice gift if I'd had any left long enough to make up some packaging!! lol.

You might like to check out the PTI release on their website here later this evening - tho' leave some stamps for me - I have to get up at 5am to be in with a chance of filling my basket before they sell out!!!

Nighty Night.

...a huge Christmas card

I just got my latest PTI order and it's release time again!! Ho hum.

I was so glad I ordered the First Fruits set - It is outstanding. - I jumped right in and made a Christmas card (surprise, surprise).

I knew I wanted to make a wreath image from the leaf stamp I love how the shape works repeated in a cricle. I used 4 different inks on the stamp so that my leaves would all look different.

I love how the stamping turned out but I'm less happy with the card itself, I'm off to try again!! I was in such a rush to put it up that I photographed it straight away - it's night here and I normally wait for daylight but it'll do for now.

The card base is a sheet of Pure poppy cardstock folded in half !!- the card is a little on the big side Lol but it actually looks ok in real life lol.

Hope it tickles.

...a start on Halloween

I have a confession - I purchased a couple of other brand stamps. I was going to not buy anything other than PTI stuff till I had a whole collection of their images but Kimberly had some cute little cards done with Inkadinkado stamps that I had to give up and get a set!! But really, that's me. I will now not buy anything other than PTI till I have gathered all their sets...and cardstock...and ribbons...

Anyhow - I did manage to add a PTI bat!! - The first card is Inkadinkado trees and sentiment with a PTI Bat.

The second card was inspired by Niki's gorgeous witch in the moonlight card - I loved it when I saw it on her blog - check it out here.

I made my version slightly different - It is ok but I'll have another go later on - off to do a school run.

Decorative papers are by Tim Coffee.

Hope they tickle.

...surprise, a snowflake card!

Yep, another Fimo snowflake - sorry if you're tired of them already but I really like how they look when they're done - I bought some gold Sculpey and I'm goint to make some tree ornaments in the same vein but hopefully I'll have some Halloween stuff aswell soon.

The stamp was PTI Snowflake Serenade and the patterned paper is Basic Grey - (thanks Beverly)

Hope it tickles.

...a small request

This is just a quick wee note to any visitors - a shameless plug for my best friend!!

Bob has started a blog!! I'm so proud of her, she makes fab cards - if you've got a spare moment, skip on over to her blog and leave a wee word of encouragement to get her up and running - I know she'll appreciate it.
