Santa Claus is coming to town . . .

Over at the ABC Christmas Challenge blog it's 'S' is for Santa and this is the only stamp I have that vaguely resembles Santa so I really hope it counts!

This super cute Popcorn the Bear stamp was a freebie with a magazine that I recently bought - that was a great buy! It's lots of layers over at Divas By Design and, let's face it, I don't need much encouragement to go bananas with papers, cheesecloth, lace and ribbon! I can't tell you the joy I had in making this card. For once I got to use all my favourite things on one card and only stopped when there was no room to add anything else (I'm pretty sure I can hear Squirrel weeping in corner!). It does you good to go crazy once in a while.

So, the papers are the scrummy Papermania 'Home For Christmas' dps. I used lots of Kraft card and scuffed all the edges (I really ought to vac up after doing this as there is a corner of the dining room piled high with paper shavings!) The lace and cheesecloth are from WOC. The scrunchy ribbon is from Sam Poole. The grungy sentiment is LOTV and the banner is the Whimsy Stamp pennant banner die.

I'm thinking this is verging on crackers but I loved making it! That's me for today. I hope that you're having a super weekend. We have another 5 year olds playgym party tomorrow - how can my child have a better social life than me?  Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate it. Hugs, Jayne xx

Humphrey's Christmas!

This fabulous stamp was a freebie in a magazine :) I may have to purchase some more Humphrey's corner stamps as they're just so cute and my little one loves them!!

These papers are so scrumalicious I think they are my new favourites! They're from the Papermania 'Home For Christmas' range and I can see me using them heaps! Ooooh, and look who ordered the new Christmas grunge sentiments from LOTV. Cool, huh? The snowflakes are spellbinders and the swirl is made using a die-namics die. I gave everything a healthy daubing of antique linen distress ink and Bob's your Uncle!

I'm entering this into the ABC Christmas challenge blog 'recycling' challenge. The button is one my daughter found on my bedroom floor and I'm not quite sure what it came off. No doubt it is a vital part of what will become my favourite item of clothing!! I'll have to give the card to someone I really like, that way if I ever find what the button goes on, I can ask for it back!!!!! I have also reused the flower - it was on a card I made for a friend and once her birthday was over she gave it me back so I could reuse the bits!!! (Good friends know how I love my embellies!!!!!)

Super quick card (only because I coloured the image ages ago and that took me forever!)

We've had a fabulous day. We went to a maze made from maize! After getting lost forever we found our way out and finished off the day with ice-cream. Super yum! Hugs, Jayne xx
