My Favourite Five Cards from 2010!

Good Morning!

As you may know I joined in with Debby's Top Five Christmas Cards last week, well now it is time for her next top five which is to choose your favourite cards you made in 2010!

I tell you something this was certainly hard and I came across a lot of cards that I had actually forgotten about, woops! It took me a good hour to pick these five and I'm still not sure if I have picked the right one's lol

First off is the Ruby Wedding Anniversary Card I made in November.

I love the red and white together and I just think Tilda & Edwin looks so cute with that heart doily behind them.

I never used to really use Edwin stamps on my card but luckily this changed this year. Here is my first Edwin card and I just love the colour scheme I chose for him, I think he looks adorable.

This card may not be as detailed as most of my cards recently but that is why I rather like this one. I love the simplicity and how it's all mainly about the image not the papers.

This Tilda is one of my favourites that were released this year. I love how she can be used both for Everyday & Christmas Occassions.

Lastly I made this card for one of my Mother's Work Friends. The theme I had to go on was Art Deco and the colour pink. I think she looks gorgeous with all these flowers & feathers. I also added some Crystal Stems for extra sparkle.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my Five cards and I shall see you in the New Year where I will be sharing some Fantastic News with you all !!!
Happy Crafting!

My Favourite 5 Christmas Cards from 2010!

Good Morning!

My bloggy friend Debby and fellow EAC & PBSC Teamie has come up with a fantastic way to share our favourite cards with each other this year, with a little bit of candy thrown in too!

Debby is starting this off with our 5 favourite Christmas Cards!

I have finally managed to play along!

Here are my top five.

I have chosen this card as I adore this image and the papers I have used.

This has to be one of my favourite Tilda stamps from this years Christmas Collection!

I love this Hanglar Stamp and I feel guilty about not using it for a year!

I have chosen this card as I do like the simple layout and the Twinklets I added to the bauble.

I had to include this last card as it was one of those I entered into the SC&P Card-Maker of the Year Competition!

Thanks for popping by I do hope you find time to play along!

Dogs & Ice!

Good Morning!

Due to us getting Hollie over the weekend I haven't had a chance to get a card ready to share with you all today. Although I hope the following pictures will make up for this!

I managed to get a quick picture of Hollie looking straight at the camera and a picture of Hollie cuddled up to Millie which I didn't really think would happen so soon! lol I think Millie is a bit confused by Hollie as she doesn't really know how to act around her, it is rather amusing though when Hollie bites Millie's tail and they end up running around the room together!

Due to this cold weather our Pond in the garden resembles more of an ice sculpture ... Take a look!

Before I go here's a sneak peek of what is coming tomorrow, I shall finally have a card for you all!
