Just Magnolia ~ Masking

A very good afternoon to one and all. todays card is for this weeks challenge over on

Just Magnolia

Stunning examples from the girls again this week.... woooeee what talent.

Thanks for another fabby challenge.

I have used my new Christmas Tilda however she can be used not just for Christmas but I think any time of the year. She is simply adorable. I stamped Tilda and then masked her and stamped my See D sentiment all around her using aged mahogany distress ink. I then used one od the See D morsel stamps from the Christmas collection and stamped in Sage Shadow at the bottom.

I followed Rach's Out of Frame Nesties fabby tutorial which can be found

HERE

I made Tilda 3d but here is a close up just to let you see she has been masked.

The lush ribbon was added and some christmassy holly ribbon stuff I bought in Germany a few years ago, forgot I had it. The bells charm was bought in The Works.... 6 for £1.00....bargain.
And of course it wouldn't be a Crimbo card if i hadn't added my Polar White Flower soft and glamour dust to finish her off.

Evening all well I have extremely good news my dad is getting out of hospital woohooo. Blood had conjeeled on one of the new arteries causing a heart attack, they have put him on Warfarin so this should prevent it from happening again. Unfortunately he has to start rehab all over again he had been doing so well since his triple bypass but he is a fighter and will take on board what is given to him. Mwah, Loves you loads Dad.

Anyhoo...Today's card is for this weeks challenge over on

Fabulous examples from the girls, why not pop over for a look at their scrummy work.
I have used Snow Animals by Stamps Happen, coloured using my trusty Prismas and lots of glamour dust.

The creation station is looking rather empty lol stuff being moved and I'm finding stash i didn't know i had so I'm starting to sort through it all and add listing to EBay. As they are not rehousing us I have to cut back big time :(

I have decided to sell this stamp and have listed it on EBay

Devastated

Morning all, no card today sorry.

In the early hours of Monday morning my dad was rushed to Crosshouse hospital with another heart attack. For those who know me know that dad had a heart attack last November and then had a triple bypass in March this year.

We just can't believe it has happened again.

I phoned the hospital this morning and he has had a comfortable night we will hopefully know more later today when the doctors have been and done their rounds.

I cannot believe the things that have happened to myself and my family this year the amount of misfortune we have had in one year is unbelieveable. The only good things were the birth of my two Grandsons Jack and Cole.

I am certainly looking forward to 2010.

I will be creating at night to keep my mind busy so hopefully will have something to share soon but not promising.

Thanks for taking the time to visit today!
