I used Christmas Present Luka and the wonderful Christmas Tree Die to create this card.  I inked the edges of all the patterned papers (Kaisercraft) and tree with tea dye distress ink.  I popped Luka on top with pop dots for added dimension. 

As you can see I had lots of fun creating with these amazing stamps and dies.

 Christmas Tree Die and sentiment from Christmas Elf Luka

I wanted to showcase how amazing the new dies are - so above is a card featuring the Christmas Tree die that I reckon you could mass produce (maybe with less machine stitching) for your holiday cards! 

Here's the entire collection - to go shopping - click here.

Thanks so much for stopping by - I love to read all your comments.  Hope you have a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead.

Paperplay - "A haunting we will go!"

This week's challenge on Paperplay is Halloween - "A haunting we will go!".  This challenge is set by DT Member Julie and she loves Halloween.  It is very kindly sponsored by Bunny Zoe Crafts - full challenge deets are here.

I made the above set of mini cards for my DS's to give to their teachers, grandparents etc.  The stamps I received recently from Anne (thanks again for the marvellous goodies) and I have had soooo much fun playing with them.  I added glossy accents to the pumpkin and to dracula's teeth!. 

Received wonderful Penny Black "friendly frank" images from Kathy too but just haven't managed to make a card to be as spectacular as hers!  Hopefully before Sunday!  Will post if I get two minutes ... my DS's are on mid term - so it's a busy household at the moment.

Have fun and thanks so much for stopping by.

Wee Memories Challenge - Halloween

This wonderful freebie - Luna Bitterfrost available from Paula over on Pollycraft was the perfect image for this Halloween Card.  She also has a new freebie this week - Charcoal "in Moonspooks"!

The Pollycraft Monday Challenge this week is "it's a Fairytale".   So... this is my Gretel from a spooky October version of "Hansel and Gretel"! by the Brothers Grimm.

I printed it twice and cut out the smaller pumpkin and layered it with pop dots.  I also added glossy accents to just the skull - I resisted adding gloss to all the pumpkins!!!  It was a challenge! LOL!!

Added machine stitching in orange and matted and layered on BG Eerie 6x6 papers.  The sentiment was computer generated using Luna Font.

I am also entering this into this week's Wee Memories Halloween Challenge.  Jenny is on her honeymoon but the DT are looking after the show in her absence.  Hope she is having a wonderful time.

Thanks for peeking and I hope you have a fabulous day.  Would love to read your comments too if you fancy leaving one.  Thanks so much.

Photographs!

For those of us who enjoy taking photographs I think our biggest fear/dislike is standing in front of the camera ourselves.  It is usually rare to catch me anywhere near the front end of the lens unless I am cleaning it!  but, needs must and this morning I had to stand and smile while my hubby and boys tried to make me smile at 8am!.  All will be revealed in due course.... I needed a head and shoulders shot.  Suffice to say it was an unusual way to start the morning!.  I did update my Flickr buddy icon (as I had a new headshot)!

Thankfully though I always have willing subjects!!! Two shots from Halloween that I think you might enjoy!

Spiderman and Elmo!!!

A Hug for Elmo !!!???!

Hope your day is going well and thanks for stopping by.
