Wow have I been busy these last few days that's why I've not been about much with any cards...I have been decorating my Mum and Dad's lounge for them,but why is it when you've decorated one room the others all suddenly need doing,so I ended up doing the lounge,kitchen,bathroom and toilet ...I still have the hall and up the stairs to do but that has to wait until Hubby is around as 2 years ago I decided to decorate up our stairs when no else was at home and well it all started good I went up the ladder with my tin of paint and started to paint right at the top everything was going so well until I couldn't reach any further and decided that I needed to move the ladder over so I looked down and that's when the problems started I have never felt so shaky or scared I couldn't get down I only had one hand to hang onto the ladder as the other was holding the paint tin,so you can image I'm stuck up the ladder in the house on my own with no way of getting hold of anyone and even if I could have the doors were all locked so they wouldn't have got in... to cut a long story short two hours later I had managed to talk myself into coming down one rung at a time that's why it took so long and my poor legs and arms ached for over a week,so no more going up ladder's for me...Anyway enough of my rambles Janet over at Pink Gem Designs has just released some new Christmas stamps and here is the card I made with one of them,they are all gorgeous pop over and take a look...I would like to enter it in to the Winter Wonderland Challenge which is Walking in a Winter wonderland.....
This is Chloe with Penguin ...I have coloured her with my polychromos pencils blended with sansador,the front of the robin I have glittered all of the fur on Chloe's hat,coat and boots I have put polar white flower soft to make it look like fur...I then cut it out with my nesties and used antique linen around the edge...The DP is tis the season from Bo bunny I've used both sides....
The other card and ribbon is from my stash....The sentiment is also from Pink Gem Designs...The snowflakes are punched out with a papermania punch twice layered up and a gem put into the middle....Hope you like it...So make sure you pop over to Pink Gem Designs as there is also 10% off of all promarkers but only until the end of August so you'd better hurry..... Katy goes back to school next friday the 3rd so things should hopefully get back to normal and I'll get a bit more craft time....Take care...

Gorgeous card Mandy, loving the new image and how you have shaded her. Know what you mean about ladders, I am a total freak when it comes to heights so ladders are a no no for me.
