Last Day of 2012.............

The last day of 2012, I hope you all have a wonderful and safe evening tonight!

Here is my last christmas card for 2012 'Christmas Star - Henry Mouse'.

This was one of my favourite christmas cards I made this year so I save the best for last ;)

A close up of some of my favourite goodies.

I hope 2013 will be a fabulous year for everyone and thank you for all your visits and lovely comments, I know it takes time but each and every comment is greatly appreciated!

Christmas Tags!

I hope you all had a wonderful christmas and had a chance to have a wee bit of a rest! I thought before December is over, I would share the last of my christmas cards and tags.

So today I have two tags to share with you using my favourite die from WOJ and some adorable images!

First up is this cutie 'Henry Dressed up as Santa Clause'.

My favourite die 'Sweet Tags with Hearts', the sentiment and twine are both WOJ and finished off with some lace from my stash. Simple but a great personal touch to a christmas present.

Another cutie 'Henry in Christmas Bauble'.

This tag is the same as the first but has a little bit of Distress stickles added to the bauble.

I have one more card to show you then my christmas creations are done for the year. I have really enjoyed making my cards this year but I am also looking forward to colouring in some cute images and playing with different colour combinations again!

Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

Most of you would have put out cookies and milk with your kids last night for Santa so you probably can all relate to this cutie 'Cookies for Santa'.

I would like to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and I hope you and your loved ones enjoy this special time together.

So who got spoilt with some lovely christmas goodies this year?

Thank you for all your visits and such sweet comments, I have loved each and everyone of them. Enjoy this very special day and I hope that it will be all that you have wished for and some more!

The Sweetest Thing

I am sure everyone must be running around crazy right about now with christmas being so close and a lot of excited kids to!

But I thought I would squeeze in a little time and share one of my Lime Tart layouts using this months A La Tarte.

The papers are MME 'The Sweetest Thing' and the kit is packed with lots of gorgeous bits and pieces. I love the stamp set to!

I used the papers title as a tab on the top of my layout.

The raspberries and the sentiment is from the stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by at this crazy time of year, I will be back on christmas day to wish you all a merry christmas and share another christmas card with you!

The Magic of Christmas

Only 3 more sleeps and it we will be celebrating christmas!!!! After a 920km trip we have finally reached our holiday destination, so the kids are full of excitement and we are a wee bit tired but lots of exciting things happening here.

I have another gorgeous WOJ image to share with you today 'Winter Dad'.

This image is now available as a digi if you missed out on the kit. The papers are Echo Park 'Holly Jolly Christmas', mini tag is my favourite WOJ die 'Sweet Tags with Hearts', WOJ 'Christmas Treasure', lace from a Lime Tart kit, doily and flowers from my stash and a bit of Distress stickles to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments.
