Finally I get to tell you about me card. I won this fabulous stamp from one of Lorraine's weekly candy ages ago. I've inked it up a few times but never successfully coloured it. Those little meeses are buggers to get right but I'm fairly happy with this one. Then when I'd it all ready to go on a card I'd no papers (pmsl) so I'd to have a good old root around me older stash and found these. They are either DCWV or Papermania according to my teamies to take your pic lol I distressed the edges by pulling my scissors along the paper then got to work with some brown pigment ink. I then rubbed the shiny brads with an emery board and gave these a dip into the ink too as they looked too harsh otherwise, added a few primas and a bit of ribbon, job done!!!
Anyway enough of the waffle, have a great, crafty weekend and hopefully you'll play along.

It's been another cold day here in Glasgow so I stayed put in me craft room and got on with some DT work and had a little play just for fun too:)

I absolutely love these snowmen by Cheryl Alger. Have you been over for a look, none of your normal two snowball snowmen to be seen. They're all a bit mad, just like this one lol
This card has a right mish mash of bits on it too. Papers are Imaginisce, brads and ric rac are Papermania, the larger brads are Karen Foster and the flowers are prima.
What do you think of me sentiment? I've seen so many lovely stamps out there with the calendar on for Christmas but I got to thinking that I'd like it for birthdays or Easter etc too so I had a little play with my Greetings Card Factory and hey ho I made me own:) and I can change the months and greetings to suit. I've just given myself a massive big pat on the back cos no one else will lol
