Hi All,
Just a quick post to let you all know that i wont be about for a few days AT LEAST,as my little 3yr old daughter Zara is going into hospital to get her tonsils and adnoids removed and also vents in her ears, so as you can imagine i wont have time to make any cards and i have LOADS to make still for christmas as with 4 kids i can only make them in the evenings and i aint the quickest card maker in the world lol.....I will keep yous updated on how she is..take care and be back soon

JUST A QUICK NOTE TO LET YOU KNOW ZARA IS HOME FROM HOSPITAL AND DOING WELL,SHEZ A LITTLE SORE BUT ALMOST BACK TO HER LITTLE SELF.....

ive used another one of my new stamps,im so in love with these new christmas magnolias and dont seem to be able to colour anything else at the moment so i do apologise for it being all tidas and edwins lately,ive coloured her with distress inks and added stickles to her wings and halo,ive distress the background with antique linen and tea dye,papers are all MME and ive hand stitched around them all with brown embroidery thread (very time consuming),ive spritzed roses with pearl tattered angels glimmer mist and added stickles,added some beads to pins,lace,ribbon,brass brads are all from my stash,sentiment is magnolia and again i added some distress inks to it and i also have distressed around all the papaers with a metal ruler....hope you like as i really enjoyed making it and im actually quite pleased with how it has turned out even tho it did take me two days to make lol

thankyou all for looking
