Hogmanay Candy!

 

Well dear friends, it is almost time for us to kiss goodbye to 2011….

Hogmanay is such a big event here in Scotland and so we will share a little of that excitement with you…. 

Here’s how it works….

1. Please grab the banner above and display it on your blog to spread the word.
2. Enter your details into the ‘Inlinkz Widget’.
3. Cross your fingers and hope you are lucky!

You have until January 1st 7pm (GMT)

Two lucky winners, chosen at random, will win a little piece of, super sweet, Sugar Nellie candy!

I shall leave you with this to wish you well in 2012…..

As Andy Stewart used to sing in The White Heather Club (yes, I am that old!)

 

Haste ye back, we love you dearly,

Call again you're welcome here.

May your days be free from sorrow,

And your friends be ever near.

May the paths o'er which you wander,

Be to you a joy each day.

Haste ye back we love you dearly,

Haste ye back on friendship's way.

Luv’n’Hugs

Goodmorning everyone,
I hope you all had a good Christmas with lots of love, family and warmth :)
Of course we had a lot to eat with a nice glass of wine, but now 2011 is going to end, at our place we have a birthday to celebrate, my father is turning 77 years and New Years day starts with the birthday of my husband :) So ..... I still have a lot of things to do :)

Okay ladies, this is my post for today, the last one this year, but I'll be back next year :)

I made this card with the lovely digi stamp Victoria Standing, you can find all these beautiful Simply Adorables at Funkykits !!
The base has been made with the Go Kreate Die XXL Frame Frilly #2
The paper is from Echo Park - Wintertime
The tree is a big Die from Tim Holtz
Sentiment is from Whimpsy Stamps - Winter Letter Seals
I coloured here with my Copics

Unfortunately we didn't have a winter at all, right now it's a stormy weather, a lot of rain, I prefer snow and frost :)

For now I only can say : A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

Thanks for visiting :)

Love Astrid xxx

Christmas Past.

Good Morning Sugar Addicts!

Christmas has been and gone...seemingly in the blink of an eye!
I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and I hope you all got lots of lovely gifts...especially crafty stuff :)
We have had a lovely time these last few days, visiting family and catching up with friends, but it's been a bit hectic! I hope to have a couple of days locked away in my craft room before I have to go back to the dreaded job, as I have some new Sugar that urgently needs inking and I would like to make a card for the Sugar Bowl challenge.

Talking of the Sugar Bowl....

This gorgeous card was made for the challenge by Suzi using the image Titania.

This stunning Christmas card was made by Vicky using the stamp Little Apprentice.

And this beautiful card was made for the challenge by Julia using the image Let Them Eat Cake.

I love the fact that all three cards follow the same sketch but they all look so totally different as each creator 'stamps' their own style on them, and they have all followed the optional theme and made their own papers.
You Sugar Addicts are all so talented and creative and I always relish seeing how you bring our Sweet images to life.

I hope you will find a little spare time to get inky and join in with our challenge.

Thanks for looking.
Love Elaine xx
