Morning,
Warning very long post.....lol....
I had a really busy day yesterday,Thames water went to my Mum and Dads to fix a leak on a pipe in their back garden,they duly dug up the patio found the leak replaced the pipe switched the water back on and because it was new pipe and had more pressure because there was no leak anymore it blew the pipe in doors by the stop cock so couldn't turn it off had to run for the outside one to turn it off,then get an emergency plumber to come and fix the pipe inside as Thames Water don't touch anything inside,OMG you should have seen the mess,finally got home at about 8 last night.....So today you have lots of pictures as some were from yesterday......
But first a little bit of news.....
Andy and Chloe are having 'Snow Much Fun' in the latest polymer Christmas stamp release at Pink Gem Designs!
This release comes with coloured acetates and they are onsale from this morning
See them here
Right onto my cards from yesterday for the little peek at some more of the new Christmas Ribbons from Crafty Ribbons and some from the back to school range.......
For this card I've used one of the stamps from Pink Gem Designs called Funky Snowman,coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens,from Crafter's Companion...
The Blue spotted card is from my stash and the corrugated card is one from the new Digi papers again from Pink Gem Designs as is the sentiment...
The film Strip ribbon is again EXCLUSIVE to Crafty Ribbons and has a 6 image repeat on it I've just used the first 3 for my card......
For my next card I've used the sweet little school girl from LOTV coloured with promarkers but no colours for you sorry.. .....The kraft card is from my stash and the DP is from the primary school digi paper kit from Raspberry Road.......
The ribbon is from the newly released Back to school range from Crafty ribbons,but they can be used for lots of cards this one could be used for a man's card,it would be fabulous....
The pencil buttons are again from my stash but can be brought at Crafty ribbons...The sentiment is from a stamp set from Little Claires........
Now onto todays ribbon..I decided not to make a card but to make these.....
I've cut out the fabulous snowmen images from the ribbon,then used a fabric glue to stick them on to the material..I've then made some lovely little sacks for Christmas so they can be filled with some sweets or chocolates..If you popover to the Crafty Ribbons Blog for Hello Wednesday Ali has a tutorial for you on how to use images from ribbon for card making ....Also while your there why not enter the Friday Freebie every week Ali And Tony give gorgeous ribbon away,to anyone who leaves a comment on the Hello Wednesday post here
Well done for sticking with me if you've got to here,but so much to tell you..Anyway off to my Mum and Dad's now so catch you all later....
