Santa was so lovely to work with!

Coloured with copics and Sakura.

Added some stickles for a bit of shiney shiney....

Hand doodled sentiment and holly.

DAD is a rub-on - I thought it looked like santa may be juggling!!

Hope's Christmas party

Hope so needs her fringe cut but you would really think we were suggesting

 removing a limb whenever its mentioned! Thanks Granny for the beautiful polkadot

red velvet party dress and cardi - Hope loves her bag as well!

A bit of an actress in front of the camera.

Loves her food - just like her Mum! x

The production line.....

As it had been commented on about production line cards - I thought it was only fair to show you mine.

I have made approx 100 in 3 days to all those I can't make individual cards for- not enough hours in the day.

This is a selection of this years production line! I have printed my doodles on to Polkadoodles papers.

Cut pieces of DP (mostly last years leftovers from the bits box)

Then added some inked edges and stamping using Polkadoodles stamps and some Hero arts stamps.

Finished with a little sakura doodling and colouring.

More Christmas cards.......

Some more Christmas cards for my friend Alison

I do so love this image by Mo Manning - so beautiful!

Most embarrased to say I can't remember whose digi image this snowman is......

If anyone knows please tell me so I can credit them - I know it was a freebie and such a cute snowman.....

More Christmas cards

A selection of cards for a Christmas swap that I am taking part in.

Too last minute with having all the kids ill - yet again.....

Can't be anything else left for them to catch.

Anyway these should be winging their way to America now-

really hope they get there in time.....

The last one I'd like to enter in the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - "Snow"

Snowflake eyelets. I am particularily pleased with this colourway.

Week 30 Polkadoodles - New Year

We had to combine an envelope and NEW YEAR on our project this week over at Polkadoodles.

I must say a fab mix from the DT and the new doodling dollies - way to go girls!

I made a party invite using those oh! so cute dear images on the Jingle Jangles CD

alphies, snow papers, trims for added cuteness to my envelope and ponsettia stamp.

A little extra doodling and that fab sentiment badge

"from our house to yours"

Pop over and Polkadoodle along with us! - You don't have to have the goodies to play along and you could win some!!

C.R.A.F.T. - Happy New Year!

This week over at C.R.A.F.T. the challenge is - Happy New Year!

I have been looking forward to using this stamp since I recieved it as a pressie - how cute is that Scots man.

Perhaps looking a little bashfull as I can guarantee, I have put absolutely nothing on under his kilt in true tradition. Paperpieced with a fab Basic Grey tartan, coloured with copics and Sakura.

DP are Basic Grey and bazzil bling.

Hand drawn thistles and sentiment to finnish.

This is the great prize that could be won at C.R.A.F.T. this week
