Merry Christmas & EBW Snowflakes and Lace

Merry Christmas everyone! As this post goes live i hope to be sitting with my family having our Christmas dinner and playing with the kids.

I have had one awful week heading up to today. On Monday i had to go into hospital to have a blood transfusion. I was in all day from morning until early evening and by the time i was onto my second bag of blood i was feeling really strange and developed a bit of a temp. I started to feel a bit better on Tuesday morning but i think i expected the transfusion to make me feel normal again but i was maybe expecting to much!

Anyway enough about me. On the 25th of each month we have a new Elisabeth Bells World Challenge set and this month is no exeption. This is when the schedule post feature comes in rather handy!

The theme this month is Snowflakes and Lace!

I decided to use Elisabeth Bell for SCACD "Waiting For..." Peekers stamp but i made the scene outside the window into a snowy scene. I have only ever used it, or seen it used as a sunny scene so it was good fun making it "snow". 

Materials

Image coloured by Promarkers and Flexmarkers

Papers - MME Chalk Studio

Dies - Marianne Design Tree and everything else cut from my Silhouette Machine

Embellishments - Lace, ribbon, silver stud gems and beads from Hobbycraft. I made the pin myself. I also used Tim Holtz Hard Rock Candy Distress Glitter with my glue pad.

When you have time why not pop over to the Elisabeth Bells World Challenge Blog and check out the other DT creations...you wont be dissapointed!!

Well thats me for today! I hope you all have the most amazing Christmas day with lots of lovely family time!

Take care and Hugs,

Cold and Frosty!

Hello, Hope your enjoying your weekend! We had some snow here yesterday but only a thin covering on the ground which melted away after a hours or two as it turned to rain.

I have been having such a great time with my new Silhouette Portrait! I had the Cricut Expression but i hardly used it. I felt Cricut has really limited what we can do with the machines so i packed it all up and sold it. 

I cannot believe what these machine can do! I reserched it before i bought it but even so, i am still finding new things to do on it. I upgraded to the Designer Edition of the software and have already made a few simple cutting files. I cant believe the difference between this and the Cricut...the Silhouette machines put Cricut to shame. Well in my opinion. I know everyone has their own favourites. 

Anyway here is am with my card for the Crafty Calendar Challenge that started this morning. 

The theme this month is...

Cold and Frosty!

Here is my card using "Friendship is the Greatest Gift" from Wee Stamps..aint it cute!
