Haallllooooooooooo

Hello Nomad friends.  It's actually been quite a creative weekend for me, inspired by some online fun.  I do work well to a deadline LOL.  

This was for a sketch challenge, and I was so happy to be inspired to use this fun Amy Tangerine camera embossing folder.  I used Studio Light Saturday Afternoon ephemera pack and went a bit mad with Radiant Neon Electric Green ink.  I'm sure someone will need this card one day.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Licensed To Jingle

Hello Nomad friends.  I felt the need to jingle this morning so I grabbed some DCWV scraps and some Stamplorations Christmas ephemera and three cards were born.  

I have a bag of DCWV Pet Stack 8 x 8" scraps cos they are just too nice to throw away.  I selected some strips that weren't too cat/dog orientated and arranged them in an ascetically pleasing manner.  I ended up with a 12 x 20cm panel so I decided to make two small cards using these pretty paper ephemera from Stamplorations.  The sentiments were found in the already stamped bag and added.  Quite like these two cuties. 

If you can't zoom, clicking on the pics should make them bigger.

 

Then this happened........

Again, DCWV paper scraps, but I mixed in an oriental scrap for the plum center piece.  I had this crazy lime/brown dots circle cut so decided to chop it in half and add it either side of the plum rectangle.  Love this cute couple in the car and the sentiment came out of the already stamped bag.

Just Breathe

Hello Nomad friends.  Last night I hosted my annual Harvest/Thanksgiving party, also known as my Pumpkin Party.  I decorated the room in a suitable fashion, made lamb curry, rice and nam breads for 22 people and received the gift of much cake from friends and family.  We ate and partied til the cows came home, slept, got milked and went out to pasture again!!  OK, maybe not quite that long, but it was fun.  I feel blessed, and slightly exhausted!!!  There was also a digi meeting being hosted by Hobbylageret this weekend, so I buckled down this afternoon and made some makes.  I am not usually a fast crafter, but I tried.   

 I made an A5 AJ page.  Used distress oxides and stamps from Rubber Dance for the background.  Then I used a Panduro stencil and Black Soot distress and lightly stencilled the girl.  

The words are also stencilled using TH Christmas Words stencil.

It Moose Be Love

Hello Nomad friends.  They say giving is better than receiving and I think they may be right.  It's fun to make people happy by surprizing them with a gift.  I often surprize people with gifts cos it usually takes me so long to get things organised that by the time the gift arrives the person has totally forgotten about why they should be getting something in the first place.  Surprize!!  Anyway, enough of my bad memory and slow habits.  Here's something you may not know about my story.  I moved to Norway to be with my man.  Here's a card that sums it all up!!

Yes, that's right, we are very deer to each other!!!  I just got these Christmas Ephemera 1 from Stamplorations and it includes these two deer.  Well, they look him and her to me, and they are very Norwegian, although the wild ones don't tend to wear scarves, and then there's the whole heart thing, Stamplorations Clustered Heart die cut from red and brown card.  The deer are standing on some ripped book paper cos Unstampabelles want that as a twist, and I used a slightly grungy beige base card.
