Tom's Christmas Cards!

Friday evening we had a phone call from Tom. (son-in-law) wanting to check out my blog and asking how I made my 'Snowy' snowman cards with the acetate and the added snow flake stickers. I said there were some on the blog so he could 'check' them out. By ten o'clock that evening he'd sent us a picture of his finished card via his mobile phone!
He and Emma had gone to Hobby Craft during the week and had bought a Snowman stamp. (I think he thought I'd never get the Penny Black 'Snowy' Stamp in time for Christmas!) When he arrived this afternoon Tom had made a few more cards, using his new stamp, some Papermania Papers and some acetate. So I thought I'd take a picture!
Of course once he realised Snowy had arrive all the way from The States, a production line was soon formed all across the dining table!
While he used my Promaker pens to colour in Snowy, I showed him a new 'Wishing you a Merry Christmas ' stamp I'd bought from Hobby Craft last week (In their sale 79p instead of 2.99) and then got out the heat gun and a mixture of coloured inks and embossing powders and suddenly the production line was even longer! He even mixed a few colours to see what would happen! Snowmen cards, everywhere! I think he's hooked, don't you!!
(Ps...it gets hot, embossing!!)

Warm welcome and a big ((wave)) to new follower Diane, out the back with no picture and no link! Thank you for joining us Diane!! If there is one, I'll hunt out a link a.s.a.p! And!!!

Well, that's it for now! Thanks for stopping by, catch you all again very soon.

A Bloggy Challenge

Hi everyone (she sez thinking someone might answer) well, you never know. (At this point the door bell chimes. Some young boy, trying to sell double glazing, etc etc...a kind of hint that the garden needs attention and the windows and gutters could do with a clean! because they always knock on the door where they think they might, just might get a sale...no chance here though! I'm really behind with my makes because of the dog sitting...not that I actually sit on the dogs, but you know what I mean. Their owners are now home from their trip to Istanbul. Lovely.
I made this card for a challenge...but for the life of me can't remember where or when. I sometimes wish my brain was a tiny bit bigger. Hubby, says it's ok as it is...any more active braincells, and I'd be dangerous!
I coloured Tilda in with Whisper Pens, added a bit of micro glitter and because she was a forum swap and not too 'clear' I added a bit more detail with my black pen. All the papers are Pink Petticoat and the stamp 'Just For You' was a Papermania freebie with the do-crafts Creativity Magazine. I used Color Box Petal Point 'Dusty Plum' on that, (which I also used to edge the paper) and a bit of clear embossing power and my heat gun.
Ah! I think I've now found the challenge over on Creative Inspirations, here's the sketch.
Thanks for stopping by... pop back soon... bring cake and sandwiches... me and hubby are off to Christchurch this afternoon... there's a cooking festival on. Hubby loves cooking!
