Anya Elf & A Happy New Year

I just had to use the fabulous Elf Anya image for a Christmas card this year.  Isn’t she the cutest? And that is it for Christmas cards for a while! Phew!  In 2010 I am definitely getting them all done much earlier than this year…although I am sure I said that in 2008 too… I’ll [...]

Belles 'n Whistles: Rockin' Around

I just had to squeeze in a card with one of the gorgeous Belles ‘n Whistles Christmas stamps (available HERE).  This card was given to our 3 yr old niece, who loves her Nanny’s gorgeous rocking horse (which is traditional and hand carved, so not quite like the one in this image, but hey, creative license!!). [...]

Tilda & Edwin Skating

This one is totally inspired by one of Claudia‘s cards from last year.  I have used one of my favourite Magnolia stamps along with a gorgeous Alota background stamp (available HERE). The papers are Magnolia.  Flowers are from stash and have been sprayed with Shimmerz Spritz in Baby’s Breath (available HERE) to add some sparkle.  The bow has [...]

2009: A Year In Review

2009 has been a pretty interesting year with lots of changes, thankfully most of them have been positive!  This has been the year where I finally feel like I’ve started moving forward again, so I’m pretty happy about that. One of the biggest changes in 2009 has of course been the opening of Quixotic Paperie in [...]

Mo's Digital Pencil DT: Not A Creature Was Stirring

Phew!  We had a lovely Christmas visiting family.  Now that I’ve caught up with the washing and unpacking I’ve had time to edit some photos of the last minute cards I created for them!  Here’s the card we gave to Paul’s parents. I used one of my favourite images from Mo’s Digital Pencil – “Not [...]

Merry Christmas!

Phew.  I finally finished my Christmas cards just before bedtime last night.  So glad that’s done! I was hoping to show you some pics, but unfortunately I just don’t have the time now!  I will be back to share the photos with you next week, if you can stand looking at more Christmas cards then! LOL! [...]

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Today’s card is for Paul’s brother and sister-in-law.  I’ve used an Elzybells stamp which I just couldn’t resist.  Elzybells have been a favourite stamp company of mine since I started stamping.  I don’t often get round to playing with their stamps these days, but just have to slip the odd one in now and again! I’ve [...]

TGF Max does Christmas

Another Christmas card from me today…just a few more to go now, I promise! This one is for our nephew.  As soon as I saw Twinkle Tot Max from The Greeting Farm (available HERE) I knew what I wanted to do for Jay’s Christmas card!  I’ve teamed Max up with the Belles ‘n Whistles Christmas [...]

Mo's Digital Pencil DT: Perfect Christmas Angel

How are you all doing?  Christmas preparations well in hand?  I’m still making Christmas cards!  Thankfully all those that needed to go in the post have gone, and I’ve just got a few family cards to finish for those we will be seeing on Thursday.  Next year will definitely be the year I get them [...]

Travel Anya: Coming Home For Christmas!

As soon as I saw Travel Anya (available HERE) this idea popped into my head.  Turns out I must have been channeling Amy at the time, because check out her fantastic card using the same stamp – HERE.  LOL!
