Simple Christmas card made with sizzix

As i had some new die cutters today i though i would try out this Christmas one, it was very effective and i enjoyed having a play with one of my new cutters, there is room for improvment but not bad for a first attempt with this die cutter. made using bigz die, card and happy Christmas sentiment. x

Snake ATC

I have been going through some bits n pieces today and i have been making ATC's. i came across this little snake x stitched picture amongst my stuff, its perfect size for an ATC. i added it to a distressed ink background and added a few leaves that are brads. x

4 small Christmas cards

i did some decoupage the other day and left it to dry overnight, one isn't decoupage but the other 3 are. made into small 4x4 cards. nice and cute for putting in Christmas messages to friends and family x

4 ATC's - swapped

i am doing a swap with another crafter on facebook, its a random swap. i chose what i wanted off her and then it was agreed i would just send some random ones in exchange and these are what i came up with. x

Just for you

I made this just for you card yesterday but was unable to put it online last night as i went caving in the evening and didn't get home until 11.30 so was too tired. card made using backing papers, cute bear stamp(sorry don't know the make) ribbon, brads and yellow bows. x

I went to the shop this afternoon as I need to get a blush coloured promarker but they didn't have any however when does a crafter go into a craft shop and leave empty handed. Ok I spent a fair bit but worth it. I can't wait to get playing. X

Promarkers

the big question is - when is too many too many? this is my collection, hubby helped me put them into some sort of colour coordinating so its east to find what I'm looking for.
i just love my promarkers, perfect for colouring in the images to put onto my projects.
