Ski Trip

Hi Blogbuddies, just a few photos of my trip away.

Couldn't resist this little guy, think he may make a nice subject for a Christmas card for next year.
I seem to have several animals on this page lol!

 

These were both taken in the hotel were we stay.

 

Any of you who know the Three Valleys in France may recognise this chap as he stands at the top of La Masse near Les Menuire. In a month's time you will be unable to get near him for crowds of people but Christmas is always a bit less busy.

I am not very tall but he really is a big boy lol!

 

Just some nice Christmas trees.

 

 

Took these photos just to show you what it can be like at this time of the year.

One day it was very cloudy and windy, though it's quite nice to have a day off.

 

And the same view at the start of a gorgeous sunny day.

 

Finally for today, took this photograph for my dear friend Anne as she loves skates at the moment and I know she will like these.

 

Hope you all have a great new year and lots of inspirational ideas.

Lavinia Stamps Fairies on Fabric

Hi Blogfriends, been a bit indisposed since coming back from the ski trip, some kind person sneezed on me in the airport and I've been feeling a bit yucky.
However, I have managed to do a little more work on the fairies, not finished yet but here is a little sneek preview.

 

More views soon.

 

Happy New Year, Angela x

Masterboard Card Ideas

Hi Bloggettes, here are the next offerings of ideas from the last Masterboard.
Hope you are enjoying the Christmas season and looking forward to the New Year.
I have made these ATCs for my club swap using my last Masterboard with the addition of a Tim Holtz clock stamp on black card and some Indigo Blu clock stamps added to the background. The Happy New Year stamp is from a set by Anita's stamps.

I still have some of this Masterboard left over, just have to decide what to do with it, we shall see!

 

A Happy New Year to you all.

 

Many thanks to all those who have supported me in my first few months as a blogger.

The Adventures of BP Mini Me.

Hi BP here, it's not fair look what I've found! Where did he get it? I want one.
Teksta where did you get the ribbon and why are you wearing it?

It's Christmas you silly little robot and I'm trimmed up, it's the law.

 

 

I will have to find out what this is all about lol! Sounds like fun, does everyone do it or just dogs.

 

Well of course dogs are most important but people like it too.

Back soon when I have investigated this further.

Masterboard Card Ideas

Hi Blogbuddies here is the first of the card ideas using last week's Masterboard.

The clock is actually silver but it was so shiny that the red colour of my camera is showing on the photograph.
Both the silver clock die and the stamped clock are by Tim Holtz.

 

Just in case my husband cannot remember how old he is this birthday, I have included it behind the clock face.

 

I quite like this idea for including a little hidden message.

Hope you have a great Christmas.

 

Back soon.

Tim Holtz Tags

Hi Blogbuddies, I decided to have a go at the tag projects on Tim Holtz's blog.
I loved the one he made but decided to adapt it slightly by altering the colour.
Hope Tim doesn't mind.

Started off by spraying the black card with blue Cosmic Shimmer  Mist.
Next I embossed the card with the Tim Holtz Layering stencil, Bubble and rubbed over this with Treasure Silver gilding wax. I like to put this on with a dry stencil brush.
The mesh is builders scrim and I love this and have used it in lots of projects, it's easy to get from companies such as B&Q.
I used the Tattered Poinsettia for the flower and the Festive Greenery for the leaves.
The stamp was by KaiserCraft and I used Staizon to colour the Modelling film.

 

Before constructing the tag I edged the tag with silver ink using a blending tool.

I finished off the Poinsettia with stickles, slightly different to how Tim finished his but I love the shine it gives, very important with Christmas cards and tags, it's the law lol!

Then mounted it all up and added the ribbon.

 

Hope you like it and best wishes to my followers and visitors, hope you all have a great Christmas.
