Christmas Cards 2011
I'm sticking to promises this time!! It's the festive season and so I should!! I didn't count how many Christmas Cards I made this year, but there was over 50. I think that's less than previous years. Not sure why!!
Anyway, I chose cards that were fairly simple to make, so that I could make lots of them!! They were great for my Christmas Card stamp-a-stack classes too!
I have used one basic colour palette for my cards, which made blending papers and inks so much easier.
Inks: Early Espresso, Real Red, Old Olive, Marina Mist & Crumb Cake
Papers: Early Espresso, Real Red, Old Olive, Marina Mist, Whisper White & Crumb Cake
Other: Ornament, label & stocking punches, rhinestone jewels, blender pens, glue, ribbon, hemp twine, Big Shot & Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder
Well, these were the bulk of my Christmas cards design this year, maybe you received something different from me!

Christmas Critter ATCs
Well, it's beginning to look like Christmas! Well actually, it has for a while now but today was the first day I could enjoy it. Hooray I love holidays. I'm hoping to get some Christmas cooking done, some more crafting and catching up on facebook, my blog, .....
But first I wanted to show these gorgeous ATC swaps I received in the mail. They are so cute, and I loved this theme of Christmas Critters. Makes me smile all over! You might remember, I made Rudolph ATC swaps which I blogged over in this post. So here are the lovely ones I received in return!
And then how lucky am I? I received another Christmas ATC in the mail this week. And the cool thing about this ATC, is that it sits within its own card. What a fantastic idea?
So to all the lovely ladies from Stamp Happy who have swapped ATC's with me during the year, thank you. To Therese Kamp who organisedit all, a BIG thank you and to Sue for the Christmas Angel ATC, thank you. And to all at Stamp Happy, Merry Christmas!

Um, Christmas Cards instead
Well I am back today as I had promised, but I don't have my ATC swaps to show you today. I didn't get home in time to take photos in decent and natural daylight! So instead I'm going to show you a selection of the Christmas cards I made. I think I made around 60 Christmas cards this year, so I had the production method in process. I made many of the same card. Just a few layers but hopefully elegant!
Here they are:
Featuring the Stitched Stockings stamp set.
Featuring Dasher. I love Dasher!

Lots of different sets here, but I'll be back over the next few days with all the details!
Nose so Bright
Nose so bright!! That's a funny way to announce my return to the world of blogland!! I'm not going to bore you with the details, but it has taken a month and a complete computer rebuild to get back. It's not all perfect yet, but at least I can access my computer, use the internet, check emails and download photos!!
SO back to Nose so Bright! That's the title of my latest batch of ATC swaps I made for the Stamp Happy Group. The theme was Christmas and Critters, so I combined the two with some punch art and made some cute little reindeer ATCs. Aha! Now we're thinking Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, with a nose so bright! Have a look:
I just love this little reindeer! I found a similar Rudolph in blogland, but have lost my bookmarked page of where I found it, so I can't give you my source, but I can show you how it inspired me. I used some Crystal Effects on Rudolph's nose to give him some shine!
Tomorrow I'll be back to show you the ATC swaps I received in return.
So here's what I used:
Stamps: Delicate Doilies
Inks: Cool Caribbean, Almost Amethyst & Marina Mist,
Papers: Early Espresso, Whisper White, Real Red
Other: punches, Crystal Effects, snowflake confetti & computer/printer
As Arnie (from one of my favourite movies) says..... "I'll be back", and that's a promise!
