WEEKEND BLOG CANDY

Another Friday is upon us and I can hardly believe that Christmas day is just two weeks away!

I am still elbows deep in making my cards and we had a batch of great new stamp arrivals at Nutcrafters just in time to help me out.

I could not resist this beautiful stamp from Stampavie's new collection by the talented Mo Manning. 'Siku and Shiya' are the most adorable couple and perfect for Wintry themed cards, especially Christmas cards.

We are offering the chance to win this stamp as well as a set of Christmas Charms (which include the snowflake I have used on my card). This candy will only be open until Monday night, 6pm GMT, when we will pick a winner using random org. So to be in with a chance simply leave a comment below this post, and if you haven't already why not follow our blog.

Tell your friends, after all where's the fun if there is no competition!

Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by, Katie.

THANK YOU

If you haven't already there is still time to enter our Nutty Nutshells Challenge over at our Nutshells blog. We have a theme of creating a Thank you / Thankful card this time which has tied in perfectly for last weeks Thanksgiving celebrations. Myself and Colette we very Thankful to have been invited to our friend Gillian's house over weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving. Gillian Hails from California, and celebrated with her family and friends in Manchester with the BIGGEST turkey I have ever seen!
My card for the challenge is made with one of the Prizes up for grabs: Tea for Two stamp.

I have made the image into a little pocket to hold a couple of tea bags which I thought looked good with the theme of the card.

The challenge closes tomorrow night, so if you are quick you can still be in with a chance to win the prize below, just head over to our Nutshells blog where you can see some great examples from our DT.

BIRTHDAY BOY

After a few weeks of camera woes, I have managed to take a few pic's of cards I have been making. I am really pleased at long last to have made a male card that I love and am certain I will create again! I always find them so difficult, especially for those men who have no hobbies or interests. The Greeting Farm 'My Guy Ian' set came to my rescue though and with the set being crammed full of sentiments to accompany the images, it covers all sorts of occasions.

Image and Sentiment : My Guy Ian

Papers: Trio of Trios Carousel Collection and scraps from stash

Embellishments: Prima E 'Pearls and Crystals Mornings' and Ribbon from stash
