oooohhhh I love making Christmas cards...


Good morning everyone hows your week going...good I hope...I didn't have any luck with my baby shopping yesterday, I don't know if its a girl or boy yet so buying something fabulously girlie or cute and boyish is out...so what do I go for, something to help the parents or maybe a gift card so they can shop when they need too...but that seems kinda impersonal if you know what I mean...did any of you get the perfect gift for a new baby and let me know what it was please...I want to get THE perfect gift...help...but my lovely Dad took me for coffee anyway and we had a laugh and a moan, I so enjoy our coffee chats, they are so special and always make me realise how precious my time is with him...he is a lovely man and that's not me being biased, well maybe just a teeny bit lol...right now onto my card for today...how adorably cute is this Wild Rose Studio stamp, this is Bluebell with Robin and it comes complete with a sentiment stamp too so a real bargain...I coloured this cutie with my distress inks and used these lush papers from the Echo Park - Reflections Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad...the papers in this pad are so fab, they aren't just the traditional green and red but have soft blues and chocolate browns too...I added a stamp from the Wild Rose Studio - Christmas Labels stamp set, this set is a real bargain...I finished with some covered tabs from the Wooden Flourishes - Pennants FL441, a bow made from lush Gingham Wired Edge Gold Thread Ribbon - Green and added a button from the bag of Camouflage - 25g buttons, everything I used on my card today is from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...the fab sketch is from Mojo Monday and I'm also entering it for the Addicted to Stamps Challenge and the Crafty Catz weekly Challenge too...I'm going into my craft room for a mooch today, I'm going to sort out all my Christmas stuff, I love making Christmas cards don't you, I never seem to run out of ideas for them and that's always makes them a little bit easier...whatever your up to today I hope you have fun and spend some time with someone special

Oh I do love this one Mina. That stamp is so beautifully colored. I love this time of year. Christmas and Halloween cards always encourages my imagination to try new things.

Oh, as for a baby gift....Everyone here seems to love those gift cards and tucked inside of one of your beautiful cards would be cherished for sure.

So happy you are having those special times with your dad. I love him and think he is special just from reading your posts over the past. Give him a hug from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina USA.

Oh its so cure and gorgeous papers! About the baby ... well I bought my friend those little containers for food storage (so the food can stay warm) and they go can be put one on a another. Well I love this kind of practical stuff, I really didn't want to by her leotards or clothes, yes they are cute but they outgrow them so fast. hope you pick out something nice. hugs! MOjca
