Tag number 8 for this year's 12 Tags event ......

Happy Tuesday .......

It's tag time again, and I think this is one of my favourites so far .....


I'm definitely going for the CAS look with this year's designs.

I must admit, I am a bit of a traditional gal when it comes to Christmas ...... festive red's and greens, and I love the frosty looking metallics with pretty gold and silvers.  Saying that, I may have to change my colour scheme just a little bit this year, if we end up with the Christmas tree I have my eye on!!

This is my Tag number 8 for the 12 Tags of Christmas with Loll & Friends


I'm having so much fun playing along with this year's event .... have you joined in yet?

White cardstock for the tag ...... gold and silver metallic inks for the snowflakes .....


with one beautiful, large snowflake heat embossed over the top .....


A little bit of ink splattering on to the background ..... I used the same gold and silver inks that I stamped the snowflakes in


And then a simple greeting on the bottom ..... stamped in black Versafine


I love how this turned out!

We had a bit of a change of plan yesterday. 
The main reason for our trip across to the UK, for those of you that don't know, is my father-in-law had to go into hospital last week for a major op.
It's been a worrying few days but, I'm glad to say everything went well, and he was released from hospital yesterday, earlier than we expected, so that was great news. 
He's now home and taking things easy ..... hopefully (he's not one for sitting around doing nothing) ...... and fingers crossed, he's on the road to recovery.

Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day.

Cheerio until next time ....

Happy Friday folks ...... How's your week been? Only two more Friday's before Christmas .... just saying! It's the first Friday in December though, and that means there's a new Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge .... the last one of 2018!! We've had a great year on the challenge ..... lots of fabulous entries each month,  and a whole load of amazing winners.  Take It Make It fans ....... you're a very talented bunch! Thank you all for your support. As the festive season is just around the corner, I had to make my inspiration piece a Christmas card ...... plus I still have some more to send! I must say, I'm really liking stamping onto coloured cardstock at the moment and I love this shade of blue from Stampin Up! ..... it's called Blueberry Bushel I started by stamping my sentiment in the centre (from Simon Says Stamp) and heat embossing with WOW's  Platinum Embossing Powder (another current favourite!) I then stamped the snowflakes around the ...

Happy Sunday evening ....... I hope you've enjoyed the weekend. Yeah!!! The Christmas tree is done ....... finally!  Or rather, it will be when I put the last of the baubles on that I got today.  Hopefully there'll be enough on there now.  I'll take some pictures later and you can let me know what you think. The Christmas presents are nearly all bought too ...... they just need wrapping now.  I think I've got everything, I was out shopping this afternoon with the kids ...... they may be easier to buy for now they're older ...... just more expensive!  We met up with hubby ..... he managed to avoid the actual shopping bit, clever that!  We had a lovely family lunch out which was nice .... it's not often its just the four of us. OK .... back to business.  It's time to get the final  Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge  of 2018 underway ....... As you can see, December's theme is ..... Emboss.  What's your favourite way of adding embossing t...

Happy Wednesday ....... My goodness has it done some raining here today.  If it carries on much longer we're going to need a boat!!  The garden at the back looks like a lake ...... Never mind ...... it's the perfect weather for staying cozy and warm, and finishing off all those Christmas cards.  Yeah! I'm almost done ..... I said this week was going to be a good one. I've even got the international cards in the post, and some of the UK ones are all ready to go. They would have been on their way today but, I decided to stay dry and finish off what was on my desk instead ....... This bunch of Jolly Santas are waiting for the little man to collect them ..... 30 cards for all his school pals.  I'm glad the Santa was easy to fussy cut!! Stamped in black ink and heat embossed in clear, coloured with ZIG markers and fussy cut. A little touch of glitter before attaching them onto the cards using a piece of folded acetate so that they bounce a little .... They look so cute! ...
