Look what i got for xmas and a card :)

Hi all,hope you all had a fabby christmas and santa was good to you,i got some lovely goodies but wanted to show you these as they are so gorgeous. I meet up regularly with a mad bunch of ladies at the Bristol Meet but also meet up with some others who have become good friends and this is what they made me for christmas.

This gorgeous decorated frame was made by angie aka angiebabe and you can see her other fab work here, i shall be adding a picture of sam my beloved dog to this,love all the detail and those paper flowers are stunning.

This beautiful necklace and box was made by the lovely sandra aka annette and you can see her blog here for some more examples of her fab work. Its made from a domino,believe it or not!

this cutie of a picture frame was made by Tanmo who decorated the frame and even the picture inside and i love the quote.Isn't that mouse adorable.Just need to get her to blog her cute felties that she has been making.
Well see i am a lucky lady and now just need to think of ideas for next years pressies.....lol
I have also been busy and made a card for a challenge over at the Docrafts site and it will be going of to a buddy whose birthday is the day after mine.

This was the first time i have used the Little Claire stamps i had brought at the Taunton craft show as had been busy making xmas cards and i am really pleased with the outcome. I stamped the butterfly tree first and then added the cat and flowers which i then coloured with promarkers and used broken china distress ink around the edges. used my EK butterfly layering punch and then i masked the greeting and stamped onto them,embossed the background using a CB embossing folder and raided my stash for the paper,buttons,ribbon and pearls.

Also a quick update re the scratch cards that went into the felt stockings,only one was a winner and that was mine.......lol.I used my massive winnings of £3 towards the new papercraft inspirations mag to get the lovely stamps with it.
right off to catch up with your blogs and only 3 sleeps to my birthday,x
