Hi guys!
I don’t really have time to be here … but didn’t want you to get withdrawals GRIN 😉 … so here is a NEW Christmas card …
I based this on the latest Stamping 411 sketch challenge! (Brain is a bit on overload at the moment). Can you see the pretty Red Glimmer Paper I used for the “ribbon” effect! I am loving this gorgeous new bling!!! The sponged balls were created using a punched circle mask.
So … why don’t you pop over to the Stamping 411 site … and check out all the gorgeous entries for this fab sketch! A great CAS … handy for those bulk Christmas Cards. (Still have over 20 to make!) I have gotta fly! Hugs xx
PS: Will pop back to reply to all your lovely comments asap! xx

wow oh wow, what more can i say, wow i love this card, it might have to CASE it, oh if that is alright by you.
Again i have been popping in, but haven’t had too much time to stop for long, i have been busy with Christmas requests and birthdays, so many to which i haven’t even been able to find time to blog what i have been doing, but i am hoping to fix that very soon.
But all of your creations lately have been brilliant as per usual
Take care
– Hi Sharna! I so get where you are coming from! I honestly haven’t had a free minute to blog hop for several days. I feel really slack … but … it has just not happened! But … it is not because of a lack of interest! I just can’t wait for a day I can stop long enough with a cup of coffee to check all my fav’s out! Hugs xx PS: Feel free to CASE … I am always flattered when someone copies a creation!

Oooh! Fancy with the glitter paper ribbon Andrea. I like the effect. I wouldn’t have thought to use it that way. Love the sponged baubles too!
I hope your week has gone ok!
See you soon,

Loving the reverse sponging Andrea and echo the sentiments of those before me in lauding the use of the VV stamp set on the baubles. There is that colour Garden Green again….hmmmmmm. Love the way you have used the glimmer paper too….the bow is AWESOME!!!
– I managed 5 more last night … but still have another 25 or so to do!!!!!!! I am beginning to think … like you … they are not going to happen this year! But … then … what would I do with the 30 that I have made??? Hugs xx
I still have MANY Chrissy cards to do as well and now have resigned myself to the fact that this year they may not get done. I hope you achieve your goals darl. ooxx
