My Favourite Five of 2010

The wonderful Debby of ScrapJourney has more blog candy to offer for your favourite 5 of 2010. It was difficult enough to get 5 Christmas cards for the last blog candy entry but anyway I have had a go and managed to whittle it down to these five.

I love the Bo Bunny papers I used on this one.

Beautiful Whiff of Joy Stamp

My fingers are itching to go now that all the festivities are over till the weekend. I had a bit of a clear up out there yesterday so hopefully if you call back tomorrow I'll have something on the go!

What next?

Well Christmas is over for another year, Hope you all had a fabulous day and got loads of nice crafty goodies. Among my presents were some Promarkers so I was very pleased about that.  I am going to watch all the tuts on colouring with them and hope to improve my technique - now that I have time and haven't any more Chhristmas cards to make. I must make a mental note to START EARLIER next year as I was snowed under with orders during December this year,lol

Happy A Happy Boxing Day

Butterfly Birthday

A birthday card using this beautiful paper I got from the local craft shop.  I love the colours in it. I have cut out a large nestie circle from the paper and other different sized ones from cardstock. I layered them up and added a couple of butterflies punched from the reverse of the paper. I gliltzed them up with some glitter glue and added some pearls.

Ribbon Christmas tree

Bit late today but had my grandson staying last night and then I had to negotiate the snow to my Parents house to deliver Christmas presents. Hope you aren't snowed in wherever you are and are keeping snug and warm.
My card today is a ribbon Christmas tree. I saw this idea on The Ribbon Girl Blogsite and I think it was Kathy of The Cubbyhole fame who made it. This is my version, I used a cocktail stick and tied various ribbons onto it. I topped with a button and some baker's twine and made a pot from some of the backing paper.
