About Me

My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

Sweet Christmas Dreams

……well I finally have a card to share……yayyyyyy…….I managed to get crafty late yesterday afternoon and I thought that I should get a few more Christmas Cards made…..soooooo behind again, but what’s new, eh?  LOL…….I gave up many years ago in trying to make all my Crimbo cards…..I think it was the year that I was still sticking and gluing on Christmas Eve morning LOL…….. and so now, I only make a few to send to close family and dear friends……..I mean at the end of the day not everyone likes handmade, do they….

Anyway, for this card I used one for the new Tilda’s from the latest Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection by Magnolia…..she is a real sweetie and most deffo one of my faves :o)

037

The papers are by Magnolia, and I think they are from last years Christmas Collection. The flowers are from Hobbycraft, Magnolia and Wild Orchid Craft. The red spiral thing is from Magnolia.

The red berries are my newest purchase and I got them from Hobbycraft at the weekend…your got a big bunch for £1 {I think?}.  The Spotty Ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the Pearl Brad, Doily, and the Snowflake Charm is from The Hobby House. {please note that at the moment The Hobby House are only taking phone orders}

038

I have coloured Tilda with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

040

I have decorated the inside to compliment the front……very simply LOL.  The holly image is also by Magnolia and called Christmas Love Holly {too cute} and its also from the Sweet Dreams Collection.

Well that is it for me today, I shall be back tomorrow with another card :o)…….plus I shall be sharing my cushion sometime this week too, as I finished it last night and I have to say that I am looking forward to making another one soon :o)…..I really enjoyed!

Anyway, see you all tomorrow :o)
