My Favourite Stamp

Hello and Happy 2012 to you All

Hello everyone, I hope you have all recovered from all the festivities. Christmas was over for me pretty quickly as I had to work Boxing day and New Year, but I did have a lovely christmas day.

I would like to thank my crafting buddies Lorraine and Leigh for my lovely crafting christmas goodies, I was so spoilt by them.

I did promise that I was going to be more active with my blog this year and so here is my first card for 2012. It's using a new stamp from Bild malarna that I've been itching to ink up. So a big thanks to the boyfriend for getting it for me....he has great taste..lol, even though I had to point him in the right direction.

Happy Christmas to all my Followers

Hello Friends, please accept my apologies for being a bad blogger. I have been quite poorly recently, I am a diabetic and have been having problems with my medication. No excuse really! My New Years resolution is to get back into blogging and uploading my cards - I have loads on my hard drive that need sorting out.

I would like to thank you all for sticking with me, that's so kind of you.  I have been visiting your blogs, but I am a really bad commenter!  Anyway I wish you all and your families a very Happy Christmas and a great 2012.

Hugs Debbie x

Hello Friends
Please accept my apologies for being such a useless blogger, I can't believe its been over 2 months since my last post. I need more hours in the day!!
Also I'm dedicating this post to my blogging pal Mau who has sent me some lovely messages while I've been absent. Thank you Mau.
I've been experimenting on some of my cards and this one is so different for me. I usually go for neat and tidy cards, but I've had a go a distressing and sewing.  Mmm I blame Teresa she has such beautiful cards. I think I'm pleased with it! So here it is:

Recipe

Bild Malarna Stamp - Mimosa Hello

coloured with Promarkers

Papers are 6x6 Magnolia

Tim Holtz distress ink and distressing tool

Martha Stewart butterfly punch

Doily, charm and bling from stash

The Bakers twine, ribbon and stamp all came from crafts-4-you.

I really hope you like what I've done with this card as I said it's definately something different for me. So I would really love to see your comments, thanks for stopping by.

Hugs
