A Snowy Merry Xmas

It doesn't happened in threes in my house...it's usually closer to thirty-threes. The latest thing to go wrong after losing cards and not being able to re-find address's and then running out of decent sized blank cards is...the printer. I asked it to scan something, by pressing the appropriate button and it turned itself off and won't come on again! I've tried the usual things like pleading with it, bribery, pulling all the plugs out and putting them back again, checking the plug hadn't fused, all with help from Ozzie the little kitten but no joy! Luckily Missy, the other kitten is engrossed with the glitter ball sparkles hanging on the Christmas tree. There's hundreds of tiny glimmers of light reflecting all around the living room and she's trying to catch them! Anyway, no printer and of course having a printer is vital! (I'm thinking all my digi images and papers.) I haven't got to the sledge hammer stage yet but it's getting close! In this card I've used that Doodlebug paper again...I do like it! I've matted it onto green glitter card to add a bit of sparkle. The little stocking is a clear stamp from a set by Papermania I think, I'll pop back later and change that if it isn't and the wording is from a sheet of sticky letters by DoveCraft or Do-Craft...yes my craft room's in a mess as I'm in the middle of changing it back into a bedroom for Christmas and I can't find anything! Anyway, they're great letters, very easy when you need easy!(and I need easy at the moment!!) The only thing I would say is, there's not enough of the a's and e's. That's why there's a green 'Merry' and a red 'Xmas'.
I've entered this card into the PinkElephant's 'Christmas' Challenge, I've been blog hopping, and found some really nice Christmas cards!
That's it for now, oh 'Snowy' and his stocking were coloured in with Copic pens this time and there's a bit of Stickles glitter on his woolly hat and scarf. Back later to add more pictures and a few more cards. Thanks for stopping by. Have a grrrr-eat weekend!

Fairy Merry Christmas

Oh no!! Where has the week gone! So much going on! Prizes! Kitten sitting, another prize!! Blog Awards, tags, Secret Santa's, more prizes!! Missing Cards!! Decorations going up ....decorations coming down... and being dragged down the hall by the two kittens... Aw, but they are cute. Frog has taken to living in our bedroom... she's not a happy bunny, mainly I guess, because she's a cat!
Ok! I did a really good batch of cards last weekend to go out and then... they disappeared. Vanished. I've hunted everywhere for them but they're nowhere to be found, and now I'm not sure who I've posted to and who I haven't, so there's a chance some will get two cards while others won't get any!! Don't worry, Secret Santa pressie has gone off and should be under someones Christmas tree by now!! Mind you...I've also mislaid a pound of pork sausages... Hmmm...Next year, I promise to be more organised!!! (sez me trying to cross my fingers...it's really hard with a splint!)
Here's quick card. I know this one must have arrived to where it's going by now and isn't one of the lost ones... (Ow!! I'm typing this with one of the kittens climbing up my leg and now he's sitting on my head!!!)
This was a really quick card to do, a bit of a cheat really as it was all die cut, so all I had to do was to fix it all together with silicone glue. I just added some red and green card and some 'Let it Snow' peel off stickers. It's called Christmas Fairy Doodles (although mine was cheaper than that) and there's two of everything on the sheet, so there's enough for two cards or even four as the second oblong picture is the same as the first but with out the frame. The backing paper I think is also called Doodles or Doodle bug? I've had it for ages and ages and was one I just didn't want to cut into it because I knew I'd never get it again, but there comes a time when you just have to live dangerously!! And grab those scissors!!! Back later with another green and red Christmas card...well, I'm on a roll now.... why does cheese and pickle suddenly come to mind?
