Christmas Sparkle....

Evening everyone...it's another quick share from me for tonight and some more Christmas card inspiration!!

Once again, as with the last couple of posts that I've shared with you all ~ this set of cards were made for the December issue of Making Cards Magazine and feature some gorgeous stencils, Sparkle Medium and decoupage stamps from Imagination Crafts.

For more detail of how I made these cards, you can buy back issues of Making Cards Magazine, HERE!

Some of my regular blogging buddies might remember in my last post that I mentioned I'd taken some pictures of the Christmas lights in London's West End. If...I say, IF...I get all my jobs done, I'm hoping to get back into London this coming week, to take some more photos and be part of that Christmas spirit that you get wandering around the bustling streets of my favourite city but for now, here's some of the photos that I've taken so far!! Enjoy....

Oxford Street, London W1

South Molton Street, London W1

Regent Street,  London W1

...and of course, no visit to London is complete without a visit to my favourite shop!!!

That's all from me for today but thank you so much for taking the time to say hello and visit me and take a look at my latest creation ~ I can't wait to read all your comments!! I'll be visiting all my lovely blogging buddies asap to say hello but until then...bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Friendship Like The Holly Tree...

Good morning everyone!!

Another very quick post from Chez Williams' this morning and another of the cards that I made for Imagination Crafts...as always, I hope you like it!!

When I opened my box of goodies, the first thing that struck me about all the designs were how wonderfully 'Chrismassy' they all were and this one in particular is just so traditional, it was just gorgeous and for this card, I decided to not use any stencils but to just showcase the gorgeous decoupage stamps. I coloured the image with Promarkers and the the background is created using a Martha Stewart All Over The Page Punch.

Time for me to start crafting...I have a full day planned and plenty to do and this very bad blogging buddy will make a concerted effort to visit all your blogs later!! Between all work and no play and an extremely dodgy internet connection...I haven't been around as much as I should and for that, I apologise!! But thank you to all of you for your visits here and I really appreciate your continued support and your lovely comments.

See you all soon and bye for now!

Christmas Rose...

From a dull, cold and very damp London...hello everyone ~ Happy Monday!!

Hope you all had a good weekend and you're now ready for another week. It's a flying visit from me, as I need to get back to the craft room, (previously known as the dining room...we haven't eaten off that table since Christmas, I'm not sure I even know what it looks like anymore...haha)!!!! At the moment, I'm working on an exciting new project that I will be able to tell you all about very soon but for now, and as promised...here is the second card project that I made for Imagination Crafts. As always, I love hearing what you think about my cards and I hope you like this one.

It wasn't the easiest card to photograph, but I've taken lots of pics to show you all the details, including the gorgeous decoupage stamps and the yummy Sparkle Medium Paste, that I used through a stencil. Also to show you the versatility of these stencils, I also used the same stencil to dry emboss the card stock that I used on the front of my card.

So, I really hope the cards I've shown so far has inspired you to try some of Imagination Crafts gorgeous products...if they have, then click HERE to see the full range of what they sell.

I'll be round later for a long overdue catch up and to see what everyone has been up to, since my last visit...see you all soon!

Bye for now...love Emma xxx

All That Sparkles...

Hello everyone!!

Remember me? Eek, I can't believe it's been nearly a week since my last post and to everyone who has emailed me or sent me messages, I am ok...just been run off my feet making lots of new cards and projects to share with you all on here!! I've also got a few exciting developments in the pipeline which I'm working on and will be able to share with you all very soon!!

In the meantime, this is the first of one of my new projects that I made for Imagination Crafts. When I got my DT parcel, I just didn't know where to start with all the lovely goodies that I'd been sent but this is the first card that I made, using stencils, the gorgeous Sparkle Medium and the decoupage stamps!! As always, I hope you like it and I can't wait to hear what you think...just be kind!! tee hee....

If you haven't tried this paste...then it's a MUST HAVE!! Just look at that sparkle, it is gorgeous and it's not just for stencilling...you can do so much with it ~ please try it because you will love it, just as much as I did!! As you can see, the stamps are equally as fabulous, fantastic quality and I just adored this Christmas tree design.

Right, time for me to go and try out my new glasses that I picked up today!! Let's hope that they work, otherwise if you see any squiffy lines on my projects...blame the glasses or call it artistic license!! lol!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at what I made and I'll be visiting all your blogs, later!!

Bye for now....love Emma xxx
