Been a busy little bee!

My first card is for My Time to Craft and my talented friend Becky has designed a sketch for us this week. I have to say I think this is one of my favourite christmas cards that I have made this year! The mirri paper is so shiny you can actually see me in it!! It came from the Paper Mill shop and yes it is paper, I don't think I got enough! It's a strip of sticky ribbon accross the top which is leather look, the patterned paper is Anita's as is the greeting and the image is my Serendipity snowman from Joanna Sheen, this stamp has done me well!!!Over at Stamp Something we are asked to make 'snow somethings' so yep it's my snowman again! I've made a whole batch of these cards, simply stamped the image straight onto the card, then glittered it with Glitz It Sparkles (like stickles I think) I've used the clear, silver and black glitters, it's such a shame the camera doesn't pick this up, as all of these monochrome cards sparkle like anything and look so much nicer in real life!

these are also snow something cards and have again been highly glittered but I couldn't get a very good picture of these ones.

Then we have my entry for Sketch Saturday, a nice easy one, and luckily I had this little image painted and ready to use, he does have a lovely red breast which unfortunately has been tamed down by the flash of the camera!

and finally my snowman is back yet again! These 2 cards are my entry for th Secret Crafter challenge which is Embossing-dry or heat. Without knowing the challenge I thought I would have a go at embossing the image in silver stamped directly onto black card, they have turned out ok. But I have done very little embossing and had quite a few stray speckles of the powders which have spoilt it a bit.I've also been making some snowman soup, but am yet to finish them so will show them at a later time. I think I've given you enough to look at for a couple of days!!

We are getting the christmas decs down tomorrow so doubt I'll get on.
