Christmas tilda - totally papercrafts

The theme on totally papercrafts this week is Christmas, gosh I am so behind with everything at present. I am busy getting ready to take a test and my brain is frazzelled. It didn't help having 3.5 hrs sleep last night due to poorly boys so I didn't manage to get commenting done and very few blog visits. I hope you like the card - hugs xxx

I also have won this

for my stamp and create no lines tilda

Thank you

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my US friends!

Stamp and Create is having a Thanksgiving Sale. 15% off your whole order using discount code thanksgiving (all lower case, all one word). The sale runs through Sunday

I have made this thank you card using the silver fairy from wee ones (currently out of stock) and chapter one paper by Kaisercraft, I have kept it very simple and flat to avoid large postage costs. It is also my last dt card for paperplay. Thank you so much for having me as a guest.

Sorry there have been no cards for a few days I have been busy spending time with my family and doing DT work, look forward to lots of christmas cards being shown over the next few weeks, so many you will get bored!

Totally papercrafts - black and white

This week at totally papercrafts the theme is black and white. I have used this gorgeous lili of the valley image (which was a birthday present off the lovely Jacqui) for a friends thank you card whom loves anything japanese whom brought me lots of pampering l'occitaine stuff for my birthday. The papers are kaisercraft from chapter one and lush, the ribbon is ribbon girl as is the button and the flowers are of course woc, I have distressed the papers to give them some definition.

WOYWW

I don't play every week in WOYWW as I don't want to bore people and I can't afford to buy new stash each week. Ok my desk today, see my coffee and jam jars at the back I am trying to coordinate my stash into colours of ribbons and embellishments to make them easier to find than all mixed up. I am writting on each of the jars where I got them from so for example all ribbon girl embellishments are in one pot to make it easier when I write my posts up. See the note pads, the left is my challenge not pad that I jot down challenges on and the right is my list of stuff I write down as i do each card, I gave up doing copic numbers ages ago as I use so many! The picture on the wall is me by my youngest son which I love and of course a cup of tea on my favourite mug, Marie from the disney shop (Marie was my mothers name, so it is very special to me).
Hope everyone is well. I have comment moderation on so I can make sure I visit everyone back.
