2009 & a card

Bit late but hope this year has started off well for everyone, finally got rid of the cold, but not before giving it to my other half, which meant we where both feeling very poorly over Christmas... worst luck & it's meant I've done no crafting at all.... just haven't felt up to it,
but thought I'd post a pic of the card I made when I first got the wonderful faeries & wildlife stamps from Graphicus back in November. (it was going to go into the December Graphicus website competition, but doesn't look like it will be happening now as it's been changed)

Merry xmas everyone

A very happy Christmas & new year to all.
Hope none of you have this blasted cold that's going around... I got it last week still have it & can't stop coughing just hope it's eased off by Christmas day, other wise I can see Christmas dinner finding it's way over the floor, lol.
Here's hopping that this colds gone by the new year, I can then finally get back to blogging again.
P.S
I've now added the pic of Veronica's card

Still here & thanx to Veronica

Had the fabbie stamps arrive from the US at the beginning of the week & are really nice, very deep etched to... so glad I brought them. Have had a quick play stamping the sweetie house & the xmas tree, but as yet haven't got round to making anything with them, what with xmas just around the corner I've been busying myself putting up the tree (late I know) & giving the place a good going over so it's all looking nice for the holidays.
I've done all my xmas shopping apart from the odd nick nac & the money for the kids.... never know what to get them so think this is the best way, let them get what they want, that way I can't go wrong, lol. Oh & of cause I've the food to get.

Thank you to Veronica for the beautiful xmas card which I got today (part of the GG swap) mine will be posted to Val tomorrow..hope RM don't lose it!
I'll add a pic to this post shortly

More brayering

I just love to use my brayer, (thanks go out to Phree for this, she sent me the link to the queen of brayering, Michelle Zindorf site not long ago & now I'm hooked) I've made another card using this technique along with a few yummy stamps from Elusive Images range, click here & here to see the stamp themeplates I used, which are fabbie.
Ooo just remembered, I've brought & I'm now waiting for the lush new colours of Glimmer mists to arrive, I had to go for the set cause I just couldn't decide what ones to go for lol I'm soooo naughty.... hope there here tomorrow then I'll have all weekend to play.
